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.
LinkIt's all crumbling down... He's losing it.
