Former President Donald Trump hurled insults at his rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, and other women Wednesday — saying he had no interest in stopping his attacks even if they turn off female voters — as Hurricane Milton made landfall, lashing Florida with rain, tornadoes and tropical-storm-force winds.

“I don’t want to be nice,” Trump said at his first of two rallies of the day in the pivotal battleground state of Pennsylvania. “You know, somebody said, ‘You should be nicer. Women won’t like it.’ I said, ‘I don’t care.’”

He later refuted the idea that his rhetoric was a problem, even as polls show Trump is viewed less favorably by women than by men. “The women want to see our country come back,” he said. “They don’t care.”

    I know things look rough right now, but TFG is really old and a lot of us will live long enough to piss on his grave, if we eat right and exercise.

    He’s right, it isn’t a problem. Why? Because Trump is not relying on votes to win since he has every intention of massively cheating instead.

    “People are realizing she’s a dumb person. And we can’t have another dumb president,” he railed.

    He’s half right.

    I feel like the US could use some legislation requiring nonessential spaces such as, say, recreational facilities within the same state as a natural disaster, but outside the zone of danger, to provide shelter to those fleeing the risk area until the crisis is over. Those with the capacity to bury dead bodies onsite to be at the top of the list.
