Here is tonight's headline in the Washington Post:
The GOP nominee has grown increasingly upset about Kamala Harris’s surging poll numbers and media coverage since replacing Joe Biden on the ticket.
Poor baby. There's more, of course:
“It’s unfair that I beat him and now I have to beat her, too,” Trump told an ally in a phone call last weekend.... He has grown annoyed with some of the media focus on his campaign staff.... He has asked why Harris is raising so much more money than him, people familiar with the comments say. Trump has also repeatedly raised the large crowds that Harris is getting compared with Biden, people who have spoken to him said.
Awww. And here's the pièce de résistance. It's about Trump's ill-fated appearance before a group of Black journalists last week:
He did not know that Harris was not going to appear, that the journalists were going to ask such tough questions and that there would be a fact-checking component to the event, one person who spoke with him about it said.
He didn't know there would be tough questions. What a petulant little prick. How does anyone put up with him?
You know, I realize Trump's background was litigated thoroughly in 2016, but if there's a debate I sure wish Kamala Harris would bring it up again. I mean, this is a guy who was brought up as a spoiled rich kid attending a string of private schools and then avoiding Vietnam because of bone spurs that mysteriously appeared in his heels. His millionaire father installed him as president of the family real estate business and bankrolled his ventures, but within a few years he blew it all by wildly mismanaging a football team, the Plaza Hotel, the Eastern Shuttle, a string of casinos, and more. He was forced into multiple bankruptcy proceedings and his banks put him on a strict allowance until he clawed his way barely back to solvency—leaving behind a trail of unpaid bills and fleeced mom-and-pop investors. Finally he inherited more money when his father died and has lived in luxury ever since. He has a cook to prepare his meals, a butler to serve them, servants to make his bed, a chauffeur to drive him around, and personal flight attendants to fetch him Diet Cokes on his plane. His golf courses are money losers, his "charitable foundation" was shut down for fraud, Trump University was a con, he owes nearly $100 million to a woman he sexually assaulted, and he owes $500 million to the state of New York for systematically lying to banks about his wealth. Now he wants to be president again.
Seriously?
"His golf courses are money losers"
I have never read that until now.
That has been written about over the years but only sporadically.
He made a lot of money by charging the Secret Service full fare lodging when they were there guarding him every time he decided to go to one of his stupid golf clubs instead of, say, Camp David.
Not enough to keep in the black, apparently, though. Which is maybe unsurprising--it's not clear to me why running a golf course and hotel would be particularly profitable, since their are tens of thousands of the things, and very little barrier to entry in the market.
If you didn't know better you might think that Donald has abandoned going after persuadable voters and is instead focusing on the persuadable judges and election officials.
More than one way to 'win' an election.
People need to remember that this time Biden is in charge of the military, National Guard, DOJ and Christopher Wray is not naive about far right terrorism
