Donald Trump is a serial abuser - lies, more lies, denegrates and insults like an out of control fire hose

Republicans are begging Donald Trump to stop being so insulting.
As a certain president of the United States might say: Not a joke!

Just listen to them 📣😒:
1.  “The winning formula for President Trump,” his White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said on Fox Business, “is fewer insults, more insights.”

2,  Former Trump adviser Peter Navarro, recently released from prison and now guest hosting the show of another former Trump adviser, Stephen K. Bannon, while he does his stint in prison, told viewers: “When Trump attacks [Kamala] Harris personally rather than on policy, Harris’s support among swing voters rises.”

3.  Deposed House speaker Kevin McCarthy proposed that Trump “make this race not on personalities. Stop questioning the size of her crowds.”

4.  Vanquished Trump primary opponent turned Trump supporter Nikki Haley added that his campaign “is not going to win talking about what race Kamala Harris is. It’s not going to win talking about whether she is dumb.”

5.  Another primary opponent turned supporter, Vivek Ramaswamy, told Politico that he had advised Trump to “shift the focus to policy.”

6,,  And longtime GOP pollster Frank Luntz told CNN that “if it’s about attributes, Harris is much more likely to be successful, because, quite frankly, people like her more than they like him.”

They all might as well ask Trump to abandon Mar-a-Lago and move into a double-wide. Trump abandon insults? They are the very essence of the man.

Trump has been calling Harris “nasty” in public and has repeatedly called her a “bitch” in private, the New York Times’s Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan reported. Trump responded to the report — by insulting Haberman. “Maggott. Hag. Erman,” he called her at a rally in Bozeman, Mont. Lest one think that was an off-the-cuff slip into insults, he repeated it on Truth Social.

And that was one of the milder insults he floated in Bozeman. President Joe Biden was “Crooked Joe or Sleepy Joe,” he posited, polling the crowd. Harris was “Crazy Kamala,” a “bumbling, communist lunatic,” “Comrade Harris,” “grossly incompetent” and in possession of “a very low IQ.” Biden administration officials were “stupid.” Former Republican New Jersey governor Chris Christie was “a fat pig.” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) was “Pocahontas.” Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) had “got the biggest stomach I have ever seen. … Stomach brimming out like a big slob.”

On his social media site and in fundraising emails, Trump kept the insults flowing through the week: “Sleepy Joe … Fake News and low self-esteem leakers. … Radical Left Losers, Fascists and Communists. … Crooked Kamala. … WHAT A JOKE SHE IS!!! … The stupid people are at it again!”

Trump returned to his original insult machine, the former Twitter, to lob fully 2½ hours of insults in a live stream hosted by Elon Musk. Trump, who complains frequently and bitterly that he no longer gets to run against Biden, directed the bulk of his insults at his former foe.

Biden, he said, has a “very low IQ. He had a low IQ 30 years ago, by the way. But now he might not even have an IQ at all. There’s nothing on the board that goes as low.” The “stupid” Biden, he added, is “close to vegetable stage, in my opinion.” Furthermore, Trump said Biden, “the worst president in history,” “could barely walk” and can’t lift a beach chair.

Musk, who had just spent 20 minutes asking Trump about the assassination attempt, opined of Biden that Democrats “just took him out back behind the shed and basically shot him.”

With so many others to insult — the Democratic California governor is “Gavin Newscum” and the Democratic Illinois governor is “a real loser” — Trump almost forgot to insult the “incompetent” Harris. And he still hadn’t settled on the best way to do so.

In one breath he called her a “radical left, San Francisco liberal.” 

But, in the next breath he complained that Harris was stealing his policy proposals: “She wants to be more Trump than Trump.” Is she an unreconstructed Marxist lunatic? Or is she “copying almost everything” from Trump? Trump seemed not to realize he was contradicting himself.

In a further sign of Trump’s confusion, he called Harris “Camilla” and complained that a drawing of Harris on the cover of Time magazine “looked very much like our great first lady ❓, Melania.”

Our "whaaa?" First Lady?  Melania is an embarassment.
Melanija (Knavs) Trump; b. April 26, 1970, Slovenian-American former fashion model.

But the biggest insult of the evening was one that Trump had to endure. Musk’s X botched the live stream, leading to a 40-minute delay at the start, which Musk blamed on an “attack against our servers.” The troubles persisted after it started — at a couple of points, the distinct sound of sleigh bells could be heard — and Trump sounded as if he were sucking on a lemon — or, as NBC’s Seth Meyers joked, wearing plastic vampire teeth.

To refute the claim, Trump reposted an explanation for the “Lisp Hoax” on Truth Social. It was by Jack Posobiec, the conspiracy theorist who promoted the nutso claims about a “Pizzagate” pedophile ring and the killing of a Democratic staffer. Trump himself blamed “cellphone technology” for making his voice “somewhat different and strange.”

In fairness, Trump did talk about some issues. He declared that “I want to close up (the) Department of Education,” which “would cut your cost by 50 or 60 percent.” (Hello?  This policy is supported by the Project 2025 document, the one Trump falsely claims he "has no knowledge about.....😟😲😡🤥"

He further opined that “the biggest threat is not global warming, where the ocean’s going to rise one-eighth of an inch over the next 400 years and you’ll have more oceanfront property.”

It was hardly the “INTERVIEW OF THE CENTURY,” as Trump had (falsely) promised. The Harris campaign issued a statement after the Musk-Trump tete-a-tete calling the pair “self-obsessed rich guys who … cannot run a livestream in the year 2024.”

Trump spokesman Steven Cheung responded by calling the Harris campaign “f---ing cowards.”

Trump's tanking campaign further distinguished itself this week by posting, from its official account on X, a message that was not only insulting but openly racist. “Import the third world, become the third world,” it said above two photos. The first, labeled “Your neighborhood under Trump,” showed a brick home with tidy landscaping and an American flag. The second, labeled “Your neighborhood under Kamala,” showed dozens of Black and brown migrants crowded behind a barricade.

 And wait❗ there's more❗Trump was scheduled to deliver what his campaign billed as “remarks on the economy” in Asheville, N.C., and Trump told the crowd he was “doing this as a intellectual speech” — but he clearly wasn’t on board with the plan. “They say it’s the most important subject,” he said of the economy. “I’m not sure it is.” 

Trump proceeded to work in his usual insults. Harris has “the laugh of a crazy person.” She is an “incompetent socialist lunatic.” Also, “she is not very smart.” Her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, is “a clown” and a “beauty.” Harris and Biden are “stupid people.” Trump worked in a mention of “crazy Bernie” and two more of “Newscum.” Harris and Walz are “beyond socialists,” Trump informed the crowd, and “your quality of life is going to collapse under these lunatics.”

Trump’s policy address turned into yet another medley of defamation and abuse. But in a sense that is Trump’s policy. He will Make America Vituperate (blame or insult someone in strong or violent language) — Again, and Again, and Again.

His campaign tried one more time on Thursday, scheduling a news conference ostensibly about the economy. But Trump, standing with boxes of cereal and coffee, instead went on interminably about his legal troubles, Harris’s intelligence (“she’s not smart”) and even Hillary Clinton’s emails.

A reporter asked what he thought of allies’ advice that he should “stop with the personal attacks on Kamala Harris.”

“I think I’m entitled to personal attacks,” he said. “I don’t have a lot of respect for her. I don’t have a lot of respect for her intelligence. ... She actually called me weird.”  (AWWWW❗❓)  👺👹👽

Trump, during his marathon session with Musk, expressed his admiration for the Tesla chief’s skill at firing workers.

“You’re the greatest cutter,” Trump told him. “I mean, look at what you do. You walk in, and you just say, ‘You want to quit? Then go on strike.’ They — I won’t mention the name of the company — but they go on strike, and you say, ‘That’s OK. You’re all gone. You’re all gone. So every one of you is gone.’ And you are the greatest.”

Donald Trump, friend of the working man.

Once again, Trump seems to have forgotten that he is the self-proclaimed representative of the “forgotten men and women.” It happened in a big way in 2017, when, after enacting tax cuts that disproportionately favored the wealthy, he told his pals at Mar-a-Lago, “You all just got a lot richer.” It happened in April of this year, The Post reported, when he told oil executives at Mar-a-Lago that, if they raised $1 billion for his presidential campaign, he would, in exchange, reverse dozens of Biden’s environmental rules and policies.

And it’s happened at regular intervals since Trump first entered politics: Opposing an increase in the hourly minimum wage from $15 because wages are “too high.” Opposing the restoration of labor organizing rights because it would impose “costly burdens on American businesses.” Reducing workplace safety inspections. Urging union members not to pay their dues. Telling nonunion workers that their lower wages come with “advantages.”

(Unfortunately.....) Trump tapped Ohio Senator (and former venture capitalist) JD Vance (R-Ohio) as his running mate, he says, “because he’s a very strong believer in work and the working man and woman, and especially the working man and woman who have been treated very unfairly. … He wrote the book that became a bestseller.”

This can only mean that Trump didn’t read “Hillbilly Elegy,” in which Vance remarks on the people he grew up with in Middletown, Ohio: “Too many young men immune to hard work.”  A “willingness to blame everyone but yourself.” Not “a single person aware of his own laziness.”

“We choose not to work when we should be looking for a job,” Vance wrote. “Sometimes we’ll get a job, but it won’t last. We’ll get fired for tardiness, or for stealing merchandise and selling it on eBay, or for having a customer complain about the smell of alcohol on our breath, or for taking five thirty-minute restroom breaks per shift. We talk about the value of hard work but tell ourselves that the reason we’re not working is some perceived unfairness: Obama shut down the coal mines, or all the jobs went to the Chinese. These are the lies we tell ourselves.”

But there was Vance in Byron Center, Michigan, (lies....OMG- just👀 read it for yourself❗) falsely....rhapsodizing about the “hardworking people” he grew up with in Middletown. He recalled how “I watched in my own community as jobs were sent overseas. … I saw families torn apart as China built its middle class on the back of the American middle class.”

These are the lies we tell ourselves.  Of course, a lot of these White, working-class people Vance demeans will go for Trump. But Harris and Walz are, at least, making a case for their votes.

“You knew Vice President Harris grew up in a middle-class family, picked up shifts at that McDonald’s as a student,” Walz said in a speech to a public-sector union on Tuesday. “Can you simply picture Donald Trump working at a McDonald’s, trying to make a McFlurry or something?”

It would probably go about as well as the live stream with Musk.

Trump is aggrieved that Harris is running a disciplined campaign. “Kamala gives the exact same speech, over and over again,” he complained. “I don’t do that.”

No, he doesn’t. Sure, he gives the same basic stump speech over and over again: The radical left is taking your guns. World War III is imminent. The fake news won’t say that I have the biggest crowds. Windmills are bad. The government is weaponized against me. We are a failing nation.

But it’s true that you never know quite what will happen when Trump appears. In Bozeman, they decided to play “My Heart Will Go On” from “Titanic” — a shipwreck of a metaphor. Celine Dion issued a statement saying she hadn’t authorized it — “and really, that song?”

At any moment, Trump might say of Harris that “nobody really knows her last name,” or that Russia’s Putin and China’s Xi are “lovely individuals,” or that “suburban women like me a lot,” or that “I didn’t know I had that much blood — the doctors later told me that the ear is a place that is a very bloody place.”

But much of Trump’s spontaneity comes from his emancipation from anything resembling facts. Walz “ordered tampons in boys’ bathrooms” and “signed a law letting the state kidnap children to change their gender.” The crowds at a Harris rally attended by 15,000 people “DIDN’T EXIST” and “there was nobody there.” He went down in a helicopter with Willie Brown. His Jan. 6, 2021, crowd was bigger than the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s March on Washington. Harris wants to abolish cows. Walz is guilty of “stolen valor.”

This isn’t just false — it’s bananas.🍌

So when Trump got together with the world’s second-most-influential purveyor of disinformation, Musk, things were bound to get especially loony. 👾😖

Trump lied about the border, oil pipelines, climate change, inflation (worst “in 100 years”), the price of bacon, his tax cuts and his legal troubles, among many other things.

The two fabulists hatched a plan to meet in Venezuela if Trump loses the election because “it’ll be a far safer place” than the United States, where “our crime rate’s going through the roof.” (It’s dropping sharply.)

Musk posited that, because Hiroshima and Nagasaki are “like full cities again,” this means that nuclear fallout is “not as scary as people think.” Trump agreed.

Toward the end of the night, Trump announced that “you got a lot of people listening to you right now, like 60 million or something.” Even X only claimed 1.1 million were listening — a small fraction of a network newscast. “Do I get paid for this or not?” Trump asked.

He may need it. Shares in Trump’s Truth Social have plunged 70 percent from their high, as the company reported a quarterly loss of $16 million on essentially nonexistent quarterly revenue of only $837,000. And now that Trump is back on X, the lone selling point Truth Social had is gone.

Trump killed the truth, and now he is killing Truth.

(Like an out of control fire hose! )
