Today is Friday, August 2, 2024. Democrats’ strategy of calling the convicted felon of a former president and his dumbass allies as “weird” is actually working, as an online article for The New Republic by Hafiz Rashid confirms quite starkly. The title of the article is “Trump’s Response to Kamala Calling Him Weird Is Actually So Weird.”

Yesterday the Orange Turd was yet again interviewed with conservative radio host Clay Travis in which the now oldest candidate in the race attempted to fire back by saying his opponents are weird themselves.

This is Dump’s very weak response: “They’re the weird ones. [Can you picture a toddler saying this when confronted with the truth of his bad behavior?] Nobody’s called me weird [boy, is he in an alternate reality there!]. I’m a lot of things, but weird I’m not. And I’m upfront. And he’s not either, I will tell you. [here Dump is responding to the assertions that his terribly weak running mate, J.D. Vance, is weird] J.D. is not at all. They are.” Meaning his opponents. I seriously doubt he convinced any one of this crazy line of reasoning. Just use projection as facilely as ever and lob the same adjectives back at your enemies.

The unsmiling, unfunny Trump actually chided Harris for her laugh. Again, here’s someone who is as funny as a head of lettuce chiding someone who has a true joie de vivre. In response, the Harris campaign posted video from the interview on X Thursday evening, poking fun at the former president and convicted felon.

It is very clear that Dump has been struggling to come up with a response to being called weird and has just been returning the label at Harris to no avail. His fellow Republicans have also tried the same strategy and been met with mockery online. Privately, Dump has complained to his inner circle about how much media attention the attacks have been getting.

It’s more proof that the “weird” attack line is working, and it’s been a long time coming. It has coincided with Harris erasing Dump’s polling advantage and crushing him in fundraising. So far, Harris has raised a phenomenal $310 million in less than two weeks since President Joe Biden bowed out of the race on July 21. The question is how Harris and the Democrats build on it to ensure victory in November.

In a stunning online article for Raw Story by David McAfee, Dump’s own fans are advising him to change course now before disaster strikes in November. The title of the piece is called ‘You’re blowing it’: Trump’s fans beg him to change course as polls show GOP slipping.” The message of this article is that the Orange Turd should listen to his acolytes, but who really thinks he will do this? Nah.

Thus Drumpf’s own stupid base are begging him to change course as Vice President Kamala Harris now reportedly leads him in seven national polls.

While Dump trumpeted the win of one of his endorsed candidates, Bobby Harshbarger, prevailed against incumbent Senator Jon Lundberg in the Republican primary in Tennessee Senate District 4, a social media user asked Drumpf to start posting on the social network formerly known as Twitter. The user tweeted, “GET ON X TRUMP OR YOU’LL LOSE WE NEED YOU ON X!” Did you notice that this writer used Dump’s own practice of capitalizing everything he writes? This person realizes that Dump is so out of fashion because he won’t turn to X instead of just posting on his asinine “Truth Social” platform.”

Numerous others, however, begged the convicted felon to change his juvenile attacks on Harris.

One account wrote, “Mr. President, I hope you are doing well I just want to say that you need not put Kamala down as a person. Women hate that.”

This user added, “Just criticize her policies and how she supports men in sports [huh!] if you bring up abortion explain that you believe abortion should be safe and seldom.”

Another user appeared to agree. This person tweeted, “You have to change the noise and start attacking Kamala Harris policy stances and not Kamala Harris the person!!!” The user added, “Keep it about policy and shift the direction of her campaign!!!”

One other user had a problem with Dump’s tone, saying the former president is “blowing it” for the upcoming election.

A more aggrieved user wrote, “Just say ‘who cares what she is? Is she qualified?’ I thought you were smarter than that but you’re acting like a dumbass. Don’t lose this election for us! Call Kelly Ann [Conway] and listen to somebody smarter than you [that could be anyone other than him]. You’re blowing it.”

Another Dump critic wrote that Drumpf needs to address Project 2025. This person wrote, “The democrats are using it as a fear tactic. YOU NEED TO ADDRESS. MEDIA IS PUSHING IT.”

So, as you can see from the aforementioned criticisms lobbed at the repugnican candidate, it appears that Dump could blow the election because of his pigheadedness. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?

Anyway, this is my last blog before flying Down Under tomorrow with Elliot and our cousin “Joan” from Scottsdale, Arizona, and not returning until Sunday, August 18. The next day is the opening of the Democratic National Convention. That should prove to be an exciting Kamala love fest from the way it’s developing in just these two weeks.

By the way, Harris has enough delegates to be the presumptive Democratic nominee for president.

In anticipation of my Australian trip, I’ll say then “G’day, mates!”

Have a good two weeks.

Stay safe and be well.
