Americans are baffled about what’s happened to Donald Trump.
He used to seem so formidable, a very real threat to American democracy, the pal of dictators around the world. Now even Putin is dissing him, cutting the very prisoner deal with President Biden that Trump said a few weeks ago the Russian dictator would only do with him.
He’s gone, in the minds of many Americans, from being a danger to being merely weird. What happened?
The simple reality is that Trump has entered the Fat Elvis phase of his career.
He hasn’t grown or developed new routines; he’s just reliving his old hits every day, playing to a nostalgic and mostly elderly audience who fondly remember his glory days.
His pathetic attempt to question the racial identity of Vice President Harris was just a warmed-over version of his Obama Birther slanders; they played well back in the first decade of this century, but now they’re just old and flat.
His claim that Hispanic immigrants and asylum seekers are “taking Black jobs” is just a makeover of his 2015 coming-down-the-escalator pitch. It was new and novel then and caught the love and attention of racists all across America; now it’s just a tired retread.
His forcing Republicans in the House to vote down the border bill that Oklahoma Republican Senator James Lankford principally wrote just adds to the perception that he’s a rank hypocrite with little interest in actually solving America’s problems.
His newest fundraising grifts — “gold” tennis shoes, bloody-ear bobble head dolls, raising the Mar-a-Lago entrance fee for spies and hangers-on to $1,000,000 — are every bit as pathetic and sloppy as his old pitches for Trump steaks, Trump water, and his failed Trump “First Class” Airline.
His entire career in the media has been characterized by rich-frat-boy flamboyance and testosterone-driven excess, from publicly cheating on each of his three wives to bragging about leering in the dressing rooms of teen beauty pageants to his faux “successful businessman” routine on NBC. Today, though, nobody is shocked, amazed, or impressed; more Americans pity him than are in awe of his proclaimed masculinity.
Trump's Political Downfall: The "Fat Elvis" Phase Begins?
I hear it frequently on my radio/TV program: Americans are baffled about what’s happened to Donald Trump. He used to seem so formidable, a very real threat to American democracy, the pal of dictators around the world. Now even Putin is dissing him,...www.dailykos.com
Hey, I know. Lets bark about Kamala Harris' race. That will surely revamp the campaign.
He has always been a one-trick pony. His lame ass schtick is wearing thin. He is forced to rent smaller venus thinkijng this gives the impression is drawing larger crowds. It should be noted that Vice President Harris drew a crowd of 10,000 people in Atlanta. He is no where near that number now.
She has $321M and she only been campsigning for two (02) weeks. P01135809 raised $139M in July.
He is trying to get out of .,B.C,. Debate, already agreed to BTW, instead he wants Fucked Snooze with gotcha question and an audiance that will shout down Ms. Harris. She will be at September A.B.C. either way. She debate cardboard cutout him and people would NOT know the difference.
