Former President Donald Trump hurled insults at his rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, and other women Wednesday — saying he had no interest in stopping his attacks even if they turn off female voters — as Hurricane Milton made landfall, lashing Florida with rain, tornadoes and tropical-storm-force winds.
“I don’t want to be nice,” Trump said at his first of two rallies of the day in the pivotal battleground state of Pennsylvania. “You know, somebody said, ‘You should be nicer. Women won’t like it.’ I said, ‘I don’t care.’”
He later refuted the idea that his rhetoric was a problem, even as polls show Trump is viewed less favorably by women than by men. “The women want to see our country come back,” he said. “They don’t care.”
“People are realizing she’s a dumb person. And we can’t have another dumb president,” he railed.
He’s half right.
Every accusation is an admission.
“Tonight’s top story: While people are dying, we decided to share an attention seeker’s ramblings. Ho hum, thoughts and prayers”
WAPO "Such pugnacity has come to define much of the tone and image of Trump’s 2024 campaign, reflecting the personalities of many of the men leading it as well as the candidate. Trump has long valued being viewed as an alpha male who never apologizes or shows weakness.”
“In many ways, that campaign culture mirrors some of its strategies. Trump and his advisers are calculating that, at a time when polls show voters dissatisfied with the direction of the country, and with turmoil abroad revealing the limitations of America’s global influence, they can win the White House by projecting a particular kind of strength — with a distinctly aggressive vibe not seen in presidential campaigns before.”
“That posture also fits with the campaign’s focus on appealing to young men, who advisers view as a key untapped voting bloc that could help tip the electoral college in Trump’s favor in a closely divided electorate.”
Jesus Christ, if that’s real, the WaPo editorial board needs a slap upside the head.
Stop. Rationalizing. Trump.
Being a douche bag candidate and a douche bag campaign is definitely part of their strategy.
No one said it was a winning strategy
Showin his ass and punching down like always. Asshole.
Trump shouts something. News at 24/7

He’s right, it isn’t a problem. Why? Because Trump is not relying on votes to win since he has every intention of massively cheating instead.
I feel like the US could use some legislation requiring nonessential spaces such as, say, recreational facilities within the same state as a natural disaster, but outside the zone of danger, to provide shelter to those fleeing the risk area until the crisis is over. Those with the capacity to bury dead bodies onsite to be at the top of the list.
I know things look rough right now, but TFG is really old and a lot of us will live long enough to piss on his grave, if we eat right and exercise.
