President Joe Biden on Saturday called Donald Trump “clearly unhinged” and claimed that “something snapped” in the former president after he lost the 2020 election.
“It’s clear that … when he lost in 2020, something snapped in him,” Biden told supporters in Seattle at a private fundraiser Saturday, according to reporters in the room. “He’s not only obsessed with losing in 2020, he’s clearly unhinged. Just listen to what he’s telling people.”
Even though Biden thinks the presumptive GOP presidential nominee is “unhinged,” he said he believes the November election will be “close.”
“We feel good about the state of the race, but we know the race is close,” Biden said, pointing to recent polls.
Fkn lol. I grew up in nyc in the 80s. Something snapped in this cunt way back when. He’s always been a fucking clown. New Yorkers cannot comprehend how this traitor shitcunt managed to amass his flock of sheep, our acknowledgment of their profound fucktardedness notwithstanding.
I'm not from NY, but I too was paying attention back in the day and can confirm, the Orange Turd has always been a deranged, self-absorbed, shit stain of a human being.
I don't know how big an impact celebrity is, but if you watch almost any media from the 80s or 90s you'll eventually come across a DT reference, either the man himself or something about him, and it's usually fawning. Like I said, I don't know how much a thing like that is representative of how people actually thought/think about him, but it feels like it helped.
Yup. He’s notorious for stiffing contractors and vendors since the ‘80s. He had to outsource most of his contracts in the last few decades because nobody will work for him in NYC.
Oh, definitely, but if you tell someone they previously voted for a total moron they're not going to vote for you. If everyone knows and has always known they're a moron but you say they just became a moron they might vote for you as you didn't personally insult them.
We need to stop giving Trump (and the other neonazis that have surfaced in his wake) the village-idiot or bat-shit-crazy pass and treat him as though his actions are lucid and calculated. We can assess the state of his brain during autopsy. Until then, he's a traitor and domestic threat to the United States, and we should treat that threat as seriously as its consequences merit.
It's really effective. He cannot handle being laughed at. It throws him off message and makes it crystal clear how weak he is. I hope the Biden campaign is able to utilize that effectively.
Having had an unfortunate amount of personal experience with a diagnosed narcissist, can confirm that that is a highly effective strategy. You can't 'logic' someone who's operating in a completely different reality and justified outrage just results in them playing the victim. Laughing at them makes them completely fucking short circuit. Hell, look at how disproportionate Trump's response was to SNL satirizing him.
To those of you who say he was always like this - Yes and No IMO. Look at his interviews from - even from the early 2000's he's "relatively" normal. At least in terms of how he's processing things.
He's a fraud, obvs. He's corrupt, narcissistic, stupid, vain, arrogant, etc. Yes. No doubt. A true turd. No argument there. But: he's not the babbling cretin he is now.
He was babbling in 2016, yes. He was clearly already having problems - so many people talking about how he just says the same thing over and over for hours. Well, that ain't right. So much effort into trying to show he's "normal" when he's clearly losing it.
And then he got the covids. And decided he was going to stage a coup. And the rest of his "relatively normal" brain said, aiight imma head out.
Now he's just pathetic and horrifying. He was always awful, always a total fool, but not always so neurotic and random.
Yeah look at him in the birther conspiracy years and you can see the progression of a man slowly succumbing to mental illness. He was always a two faced dipshit, but he was a sane con man once.
What we see today is a very mentally ill fascist. Either alone presents an incomplete picture of him. Dementia, power, and the frustration of a con man facing pushback.
I think the birther nonsense is more key to his current state than people realize. I think that, rather than just being a con man playing rubes for fools, he genuinely fell down the right-wing conspiracy rabbit hole like so many others and his world view ceased even remotely resembling reality. He fits the typical conspiracy victim archetype: dumb or poorly educated (his professor called him the worst student he ever had) but thinks he's smart, and desperate for validation and respect due to his father's abusive upbringing. Surrounding himself with people who'd call him a genius and truth-teller for whatever random nonsense he spouted broke his filter on reality and he dove right in and soaked up their approval.
In other words, he's every moron you see on Facebook, just with a louder voice and more reach. And being nothing special is the worst fate imaginable to a narcissist like him.
Edit: it also makes him far more dangerous, unfortunately. A con man will back down when their con starts unravelling, but if he genuinely believes the shit he's spewing, he'll keep pushing far past the point where he hurts himself and everyone around him. Which is what we've been seeing.
He's "unhinged" but the "race is close." That should really tell you something Joe. You need to get out there and self-promote. You are up against a game show host, carnival barker who's one real skill is the ability to get people to pay attention to him. Tell people how the economy is really doing. Tell them what the crime rate really is. Push legislation that will directly help the workers in this country and then brag when you sign it. Make it clear what we will really get if we give this orange clown another term in the Oval Office. Make noise and campaign in every single state.
No. It's close because the corporate news sewerholes refuse to call Trump a demented rapist WHICH HE IS.
He's also a convicted fraud who still lies to this very day about the 2020 election, which indicates severe cognitive decline.
Either is good.
But it's not Joe's problem to fix. That's the utter, abysmal failure of corporate news media run by republiQan masters. They refuse to do the right thing and it's up to us to make them do it through doing it for them enough they can pretend they thought of it.
Your sweet republican family and friends need to be told this is serious and not normal. Their media bubble isn't going to.
The media has traded objectivity for eyeballs. Ever since that orange clown started running the first time it's been a nonstop attention grabber and that's all the media wants now. Good or bad attention doesn't matter, it's just attention, and Trump draws it out massively. Media doesn't want it to stop.
I hear you on journalism being completely dead in mainstream media. But, I’m pretty sure the likes of MSNBC and CNN are wholly up Biden’s ass. You’re right about right wing media bubbles though, it requires human interaction to pierce through to them.
That said, Biden needs to take responsibility for his own abysmal actions. Continued support for genocide of Palestinians, shutting down democracy by avoiding a primary election earlier this year, and drilling for oil at historic record rates. Do you honestly believe this is appealing at all to left wing voters which Biden desperately needs to show up at the ballot box?
