Trump pointed to Biden and Harris’ past comments casting Trump as a “threat to democracy,” while telling Americans they are “unity” leaders.

“They are the opposite,” Trump said. “These are people that want to destroy our country.”

The lack of self-awareness is amazing.

    If you look at his press release he also quotes their words in like over 100 instances.

    Come on who would want to do him harm other than them. Not the thousands of people he has scammed. Not the thousands of people he has refused to pay for services rendered. Not the people he has raped. Just the latest focus of concern. /s

    Says the guy who was “just invited to give a speech” on 1/6/21, and who had no idea whether his innocent highlight of JD Vance’s Ohio Consituent’s “first hand evidence” led to numerous bomb threars over several days.

      Trump’s assassins probably heard him say “You’ll never take back your country with weakness” and thought “He’s right”.

    It’s become obvious over time that one of Trump’s primary strategies in life is assigning his failures and faults to other people. He lives in a sort of permanent fog of projection.

    I wonder who he’s trying to fool though. It’s so constant and seemingly effortless that I suspect that it’s really mostly for his own benefit - that it’s not just the story he’s telling other people, but the story he’s telling himself.

      “Strategy” implies he actually thinks about it. I think it’s just a reflex; fault belongs elsewhere, always. The man is incapable of critical thought, especially inward.

      Same people he has been fooling for years. The fanatical MAGA believers and everyone on the right who subscribes to the whole, “If it doesn’t fit my narrative, it is fake news.”

      His extreme narcissism means that he he mentally incapable of seeing himself as anything other than the most perfect example of trump, and everyone else is either an extension of him (his direct family) or they’re just things to be exploited.

      Yes, but that was just magas wanting to kill brown people. These freaks are still allowed to vote for this rapist, convicted felon, who won’t accept the election results because… He’s the better candidate for tHe EcOnOmY! i.e., he’ll let corrupt, billionaire white men exploit more people…

        professional

        I don’t think that word belongs near anything referring to Trump, unless immediately followed by “grifter”.

        The facts have conservatives terrified:

        Harris is a pro woman.

        Trump is a con man.

    Their “rhetoric” is keeping him from being hit as only his disaffected dipshit disciples are dumb enough to take the potshot to begin with. Anyone else with any skill at all would not have made their mistakes

    It’s got to be driving him absolutely nuts that the second shooter is also a presumably christian, straight, white, man. Anything else and he could work with it. White woman? Women are too emotional and shouldn’t be trusted to make important decisions. Black man? Go-go all out on the racism. Brown skinned? Anti immigration fear mongering. Trans or gay? Groomer nonsense. Anything other than Christian and he could fearmonger about their foreign religions.

    Literally the only identity he can’t exploit is christian, straight, white men and they’re the ones who keep trying to kill him.

    You mean rhetoric like “I hate Taylor Swift” from less than 24 hours ago?

    Every accusation is a confession. Trump is just pissed that no one will rid him of the meddlesome Kamala.

    People say anti trump centrist republicans are a political dead end but it seems at least two of them were willing to make concepts of a plan with a gun.

    What Trump needs is a Good Guy With A Gun.

    Has he tried hiring a security guard? Did he try Duck & Cover? An armed school teacher maybe?

      Why hasn’t the billionaire properly secured himself? We all know the public option is de minimus, so why hasn’t he gone deep into the private mercenary world to hire the best?

    He’s desperate and is now trying to get them killed. There is no end to what he will do to stay out of prison.

    And it’s disgusting that America is allowing him to continue on with this shit. He is ABSOLUTELY above the law.
