In a rant rife with misspellings and baseless conspiracy, Trump wrote, “What are the chances that Crooked Joe Biden, the WORST President in the history of the U.S., whose Presidency was Unconstitutionally STOLEN from him by Kamabla, Barrack HUSSEIN Obama, Crazy Nancy Pelosi, Shifty Adam Schiff, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, and others on the Lunatic Left, CRASHES the Democrat National Convention and tries to take back the Nomination.”

The ex-president continued, “He feels that he made a historically tragic mistake by handing over the U.S. Presidency, a COUP, to the people in the World he most hates, and he wants it back, NOW!!!”

That is some batshit insane ranting. Like really really crazy, and in a weird way.

  1. He HATES that he lost to Biden and so desperately wanted to beat him second time round and now he'll always have lost to Biden and never won, so he's really struggling to accept that reality and desperately wants to go back to beating Biden in the polls.
  2. This is absolutely how he would behave if he were in Biden's position right now so he thinks this is plausible and people might believe it.
  3. He wouldn't recognise altruism if it turned up in his house with free burgers every lunchtime singing "Altruism is doing something nice for someone else with nothing in return, nothing in return, nothing in return. Altruism is doing something nice for someone else with nothing in return, nothing in return, nothing in return." He would like it, and he would tweet about how the hamberder people were good people, great people who know how great trump is, but he wouldn't understand and wouldn't learn anything because it's so alien to his way of thinking. Of course he finds it incomprehensible that Biden might not be seething with rage right now.

  1. His thinking is completely inflexible. He's quite simply unable to adapt to his new opponents. He's spent so long practising insulting biden in the mirror and now he can't use his repertoire.

It's a bitter irony that all the playground bully insults that the MAGA's have hurled at Biden for the past 4+ years became completely useless in a matter of seconds.

"Sleepy Joe", "Let's go Brandon", etc. are now totally meaningless.

Brandon go’d. He went. Brandon is done gone.

He keeps trotting out the same old schtick though. Just yesterday / today at his mara lago presser, more Biden stuff.
