Main headline on the BBC Rattled Trump lashes out as DNC attacks throw him off message

Oh, has something happened where he has got into an argument? You may ask. Nope. Pure bullshit.

From the article:

Donald Trump isn't in Chicago but his presence hangs over everything and he is clearly following events here.

A couple of aides told me, a little implausibly, that the former president is not tuning into the Democratic National Convention because he has no interest in watching a Democratic Party "infomercial".

But one senior campaign official confirms, anonymously, that Trump is watching and is irritated by the attacks against him.

In the view of one ally who speaks to the former president every week, Trump wins in November if he sticks to talking about the economy, the border and crime.

At the start of this week, that looked possible. Trump scheduled a string of rallies, in Pennsylvania, Michigan, North Carolina and Arizona - each was themed to focus on exactly those political and economic topics.

But with night after night of anti-Trump speeches here in Chicago, staying on message has gone out the window. And it's not what his supporters tell him they want anyway.

The North Carolina event on Wednesday was vintage Trump - and it became a referendum on his own team's strategy. "They always say, 'Sir, please stick to policy, don't get personal'... and yet [the Democrats are] getting personal all night long, these people. Do I still have to stick to policy?" Trump asked.

Then he polled the crowd: more policy or go personal? His fans roared, they wanted the Trump show, not a list of boring economic proposals. "My advisers are fired!" he joked. Then he said he'd stick to policy but couldn't let the attacks go unanswered.

So the campaign strategy now seems to be at the whim of the candidate and the feedback of his crowds. That makes life difficult for his campaign advisers who repeatedly tell me their single biggest concern in this election campaign is whether they can keep Trump focused on issues and off the controversial personal attacks.

• Michelle Obama belittles Trump in starry convention turn
• 'Coach Walz' rallies Democrats with personal pitch to middle America
• 'That's my dad': Tim Walz's son Gus gives tearful reaction to speech

There have been a couple of those this week already.

Late on Wednesday night, Trump took to social media to criticise the Democratic Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, who had given a rousing speech earlier in the evening. Trump clearly didn’t like what he heard.

"The highly overrated Jewish Governor of the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, made a really bad and poorly delivered speech," Trump wrote.

"I have done more for Israel than any President…Shapiro has done nothing for Israel, and never will."

The fact that he singled out Mr Shapiro as Jewish has not gone unnoticed. It was picked up on the US morning shows as an example of a racial dog whistle.

After the Obamas criticised Trump at the DNC on Tuesday night, he responded during his rally in North Carolina, and, again, there was a similar racial innuendo.

"Did you see Barack Hussein Obama last night," Trump said. "He was taking shots at your president. And so was Michelle."

It's true that they did take pretty personal shots at him, but the use of Mr Obama's middle name has long been used to stoke racial animosity towards him.

The problem for the Trump team is that their candidate thrives on controversy which then dominates headlines, and then distracts from their attempts to point out weaknesses in his opponent's policy positions.

"It doesn't matter what he talks about for 45 minutes," one adviser told me on the condition of anonymity. "One comment or answer to a question gives the left all they need to change the subject."

Imagine not hating journalists enough.

This is the breakfast question for midwits.

By asking it, you failed.

There's a deeper conversation within it. America has imperial tendencies, and even imperial acquisitions. It doesn't reach the level of Britain or Napoleon's France, let alone Rome from whence the word draws origin.

America has the reach and spheres of influence you would expect from a western hegemony. It has more self-control than empires that came before it, and less self control than a state that has no interest in world affairs.

Not really. Most women voted the same as their husbands. The major "whoospy daisy" was the introduction of birth control. That is, I argue, what lead to absurd abortion policies and the widespread proliferation of wealthy childless wine aunts who substitute meaningful life decisions with politics. I don't have an issue with women choosing not to be mothers and/or choosing to pursue a career, but Marxists co-opted and propagandized this lifestyle into nothing more than being a paypiggy for community organizers.

And there's the massive psyop pushing a stigma against marrying young. If women were married by 18 most of them, like you said, would vote the same as their husbands from the day they're able to vote. My mum married my dad when she was either 17 or 18 (and stayed married for life) and marrying at 16 was far more common back then.

Me personally, I think minors are off limits. It is however important to note that they only think you shouldn't attack kids when it's their kids on the line. When it's your kids...

I remember this tweet. I can't even recall if he got in trouble for it other than the Secret Service was made "aware" of it. This was also posted during all the "Trump is like Hitler" hysteria over "muh kids in cages". If Trump really was a dictator, Fonda would have disappeared within a few weeks of making this tweet.

You have the biggest military spending for å reason.

She’s from the Philly burbs so it’s also to appeal to voters there.

Walks, quacks, and acts like a duck...

I get the idea but it comes across as splitting hairs/navel gazing to get into the weeds on this shit.

Do they actually claim her ? Do people from philly say YES, we do love that retarded whore, Pink?

Expect a mass shooting to occur before November.

tl;dr: A judge actually applied strict scrutiny to the Second Amendment (which is pretty clear, want a gun, yes you can have it, even if it's big black and scary) and the feds didn't even bother trying to make their case, assuming it was just common judicial knowledge they can ban some types of guns. Can you imagine if this gets to SCOTUS and the liberals + female conservatives on the court can't get one of the male conservatives to flip?

 

[draggs]

This is one of the most aggressively midwit posts ive ever seen on this forum and I am ashamed to see how many people clicked agree on it.

You can't be that upset if this is how creative you are with it

Nick Fuentes is almost certainly a federal asset put in position to serve the purpose of making anti-war Republicans look stupid, and you are swallowing the bait whole while laughing at the fish who can tell it apart from food.

The second sentence in and you're already glazing the eyes of 99% of the population

99% of the other 1% are laughing at you inside

All of them are trying to find a way to disengage from the crazy man

Whether catboi Fuhrer is a Fed or not is irrelevant to what I said btw

"People who want to do something about the attic being on fire arent even 1/10th of the household. You know who ELSE wants to put the fire out? David Duke! Like it or not youre in there with David Duke!" Give me a fuckin break.

Like I said, whether it's fair or not is irrelevant. You sound like one of those "THE DEMOCRATS ARE THE REAL RACISTS," normally you mock that kinda shit as an example of how feckless normie conservatives are, isn't that correct?

The actual political reality is that every 90 IQ Schofield Bible enjoyer gargling Israeli cock is already going to vote for Trump no matter who he puts in his cabinet.

That's what I said, but without the wild emotion that makes you incapable of growing your political faction

These midwits have much more midwit reasons to not want to vote for the Democrats and so they arent a threat to leave in the first place.

I don't think you've repeated how upset you are enough

On the other hand, anti war Republicans like myself and Overly Serious do exist, and are a threat to leave, and bringing in RFK is actually a great gesture of good will to that crowd, and it might even matter since even if we were only 1/10th of one percent, Biden won last time in every battleground state by a smaller fucking margin than that.

Well, wrong, the margin in no battleground was 1/10th of 1% of the votes cast, either in total or specifically for Donald Trump. You're being an angry lazybones child. No one cares if you leave. Please. Leave. You don't have the numbers to matter. You're tiresome and time-wasting in the extreme and only have a presence on the internet

Being an anti-war Republican is not a synonym for being an anti-Israel Republican

But to even speak on that is to completely miss the point. None of the shit that you are trying to divert attention towards even matters, because both parties are 95% compromised and the President has been a meaningless figurehead since before any of us were born.

The glazing of the eyes was complete a while ago, you really don't know when to stop do you

Trump is the first guy in a very long time who is threatening to actually do something. They just tried to blow his fucking brains out on national live television. In this, Trump and Kennedy are eskimo brothers, and if Trump actually intends to do something about the murderous insane deep state then Kennedy is a much better ally to have than Reince Preibus, or John Bolton, or whatever duplicitous knives-out stack of shit you'd slot in there for muh optical reasons.

I should have been more clear that I was only talking about Republican support for Israel, which is stratospherically high and not changing no matter how many times you say midwit

 

[Jade Philosophies]

That is a thoughtful and solid answer to my low-effort shitpost and I genuinely appreciate it.

Agreed, politics can and often does become a surrogate for family in childless women, but I would argue that it's not unique to them. I imagine unmarried childless men and married men vote similarly but for different reasons.

I wouldn't be surprised if unmarried and childless men are also more likely to vote Democrat. Didn't JD Vance vote Democrat before he got married? I know he praised Obama.

Exactly. America is an "empire" in the sense it has massive influence, which doesn't solely rise from itself, and is a product of near 50 years of global divide along two lines.

Being anti-Israel isn't a synonym for anti-jew either but that's apparently lost on you fucking retards.

No it isn't an empire.

By what metrics? Define what you consider makes an empire.

In this clip, the MD delegate actually looks around, trying to play it off cool.

"Who's she talking about? Let me look around and see who it is."

Also, WOOF at Oprah using housefire analogies after the shit she just pulled in Maui. Oprah is a demon.

Jewish Chronicle revealed that the Israelis relocated a Hamas informant to the US and sponsored him for asylum in exchange for the Hamas informant giving them information leading to the assassination of Muhammad Deif

Idiots described his age as well so he'll probably be found out

Not surprised. The TDS types are lapping this shit up. The entire narrative they have on Trump and his campaign is that he is old, tired, rambling aimlessly, jumping at "communist ghosts" and extremely pissed Biden is gone because Kamala can beat him.

No I am not joking they really think this.
