We were led to believe -- or the GOP and media tried to do so, anyway -- that the previous weekend's assassination attempt had changed DJT and made him a more thoughtful, introspective person and potential leader. And that his calls for us to come together were sincere. It took mere minutes yesterday for that fantasy to be blown to shreds, as Trump attacked Joe Biden in his moment of sacrifice in the most crude, grotesque, self-serving way possible, lacking even a hint of appreciation for all of Biden's years of public service. That in fact is who DJT is and what he does, and it will not change.
The whole "changed man" persona was so obviously a farce. The reality is that DJT is scared. Very scared. Joe dropping out throws all the orbits out of whack, and he does not know what it means or how to handle it. So he lashes out instinctively, as wild animals tend to do. DJT always melts down when the heat is turned up, so the Ds should keep pushing his buttons and leading him toward these unforced errors of speech, as well as actions. In that regard Harris seems to be the ideal candidate to run against him. The Prosecutor versus The Felon. The optics are spectacular, and long overdue. Run with it, Dems. Turn up the temperature, push DJT out of his comfort zone, and enjoy the show as the narrative returns to being about his many failures more than someone else's age and health. It is time.
That is the epitome of an oxymoron. Those two words shouldn't exist in the same atmosphere without an explosion happening within milliseconds. Those two words are like mayonnaise on pizza. I'm having an embolism just thinking about the collision of those concepts.
Surviving that assassination attempt changed him in that when he looked in the mirror he saw an invincible, indestructible man, and Biden dropping out threw a big ol’ wrench into that mirror.
My understanding is that it wasn't. That the first 20 minutes were controlled, and the end was back to the teleprompter, but that the vast endless middle was vintage Trump. Even in the debate he couldn't keep it fully together for the whole thing, even against the Biden we all saw. I know it won't sway many voters, but I'd invite anyone and everyone to rewatch that debate now through the lens of only one of those guys is running for President.
One really RW cartoonist showed the first 20 minutes where the crowd had tears running down their faces. The next panel of the rest showed them sleeping. Even the RWs have stopped listening. Now, if they'll only stop voting!

And of course his first instinct is to complain about the money his campaign has wasted against Biden.
Controlled Trump...

Enough already

Was there really ever a toned down Trump? I’ve seen him behave for 30 minutes before. His RNC speech is well within control limits for Trump.
