Title: Trump's losing it on social media...
Post by SadKangaroo on Sep 24th, 2024 at 12:31pm

Quote:
Something Awful Must’ve Just Happened in the Trump Camp, Because Trump is LOSING IT on Social Media

Maybe Donald Trump is getting the memo every time he wakes up and sees his social media stock swirling the financial toilet bowl. Every time he has a meltdown on Truth Social, it either precedes a huge stock drop, or is the cause of one.

He doesn’t mention his stock, though, even if he does claim the market goes up and down according to his poll numbers.

What he does mention is every crazy thing you can imagine, and he has been on a roll today. It’s not that it’s so much different than what he normally does — making stuff up. It’s that it’s just so loud now, and he’s  grasping at straws.

He started out with a tweet about a 38-year-old program being used by the Biden/Harris administration to gather votes from overseas.





Quote:
There are approximately 3 million things wrong with this tweet, and they’re all citizens. The UOCAVA, or Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act, is a provision in the US code that allows for people (including soldiers) living abroad to vote in our federal elections. There are about 3 million people who fall under the umbrella of its provisions.

But the UOCAVA does not email ballots. You cannot email a ballot, and even if you could email a ballot, it would then have to be printed and mailed back. Because you certainly can’t vote by email.

Everyone who gets a ballot has already provided proof of citizenship. It’s literally in the name of the Act. He’s taking literally the smallest sliver of truth — that UOCAVA exists — and turning it into some nefarious plot designed by Kamala Harris herself to usurp American democracy.

Hey, you’re the guy who tried to overturn the last election, remember? Remember how you got indicted for trying to eradicate democracy?

But fear-mongering is the name of the game for Trump. He quickly moved on from lying about the bipartisan 1986 legislation to lying about immigrants in another hit piece ad. The voiceover in the video clip talks about “Harris policies” (although Kamala Harris has never set any policy on immigration) that’s led to an “invasion” of immigrants.

“Your town could be NEXT!” the video ominously warns.

But the text that Trump tweeted the video with is completely unrelated, with him lying about something entirely different.

Attached to the video about immigrants, Trump thought it was appropriate to talk some more about Kamala’s job at McDonald’s. He’s lying about her former job by claiming she’s lying that she ever worked there.





Quote:
No, Donnie. She didn’t stop talking about it. She wasn’t “caught” lying about anything. She worked there. This is like that nonsense with the Haitians. Even after something is completely debunked, Trump keeps repeating it.

First the rumor was that she’d never worked there, which right-wingers claimed McDonald’s had released a statement confirming. They did not. Then they said McDonald’s released a statement saying that Kamala HAD worked there, but was fired for stealing. Again, no such statement.

They say it all without proof, and without responding to requests for proof after they’ve said it. They just keep saying it, and Trump keeps amplifying it.

But aside from that, what does McDonald’s have to do with the immigration scare ad?

The answer is nothing. It’s just Trump’s addled brain, confusing the fact that HE lies constantly with the assumption that other people do, too.

We’ll see what else happens in Trump’s strange brain today. It’s only Monday, after all, and you have to start the week out strong when you’re absolutely nuts and have a reputation to uphold.

Trump is losing it…even more. Trump issued a lengthy statement escalating his attacks on the Justice Department and FBI, accusing the agencies of going after him for political reasons and having a conflict of interest.

The reason is simple, his base are stupid and believe anything he says.

A recent poll among maga nutcases shows 52% still believe Haitians are eating dogs and cats, 52%!.
Even after all the proof that the story was fake these dumb arses still believe the worlds greatest liar.

I still say that if Kamala wins, Trump just might be successful in delaying her inauguration.

With the help of the criminals he has working in SCOTUS, he might be able to launch enough frivolous lawsuits to cause mass confusion about the election results.

Delaying is something he's good at, and with his corrupt lawyers and judges I think he might be able to cause serious havoc after the election.

He's telling us what he's going to do - he's going to challenge the results again, and this time he might have learnt from his mistakes.

I hope I'm wrong, of course, but I just don't see a smooth transfer of power to Harris happening.

The one good thing about it, is that Biden currently occupies the White House.

If the Republicans were in there it would be mayhem.

He came remarkably close to halting the certification process on 6 January.

While it was easy to become absorbed in the chaos of the riots and the tragic deaths of misguided followers, Pence’s Secret Service detail were prepared to evacuate him from the Capitol as soon as the rioters and terrorists arrived.

Yet, he refused. Pence understood that once he was removed from the building, they would not return him, and the certification would be indefinitely stalled. He, along with others, remained steadfast to ensure their constitutional duties were fulfilled.

Had Pence and his colleagues not stood firm, Trump would have ultimately achieved his objective.

There is even a photograph, which I’ve only encountered for the first time today, showing Pence observing a live feed of Trump commending the rioters, with his daughter at his side.

The expression on her face is one of, "I warned you about this fool." Yet now, she writes for the Daily Wire, demonstrating that little was learned from that harrowing episode.

Losing it? Trump never had it.

his stock price


12.15 USD, -4.81 (-28.36%)past 5 days

and 12.15 USD, -1.40 (-10.33%)today

People who use charts will call this a 'Horses tail' formation.

Stock fundamentalists say - the stock has no value, makes big losses, has little income, has no moat, someone wants to sell a lot of that stock in a hurry and there are no buyers.

Those that shorted the stock have done very well.

While quite funny, your comment is actually true.

Trump has been mentally unstable his entire life.

He's always been a bad-tempered, thin-skinned cry-baby with intermittent explosive disorder.

He is getting a lot worse in his (very) old age though.

Hilarious that Trump in his tweet demands that Kamala apologise for lying.

the guy is absolutely shameless
