Trump goes off the rails in midnight attack on ‘highly overrated Jewish governor’
The former president slammed Pennsylvania's Josh Shapiro, who spoke at the Democratic National Convention.
Donald Trump fired off an angry middle-of-the-night attack on “highly overrated Jewish Governor” Josh Shapiro after he spoke out against the former president at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday night.
Ah yes the strategy of trying to court jewish Americans by *checks notes* being blatantly antisemitic. There's no real reason to mention he's Jewish here other than to be antisemitic and imply he's a "bad jew"
189At this point there is no chance of "court(ing)" enough voters to win. MAYBE when all anyone knew of Biden was a guy who chugged a bottle of nyquil before a debate for some reason but even america isn't stupid enough to legitimately vote in trump anymore.
If trump wins it will be because of decades of gerrymandering and outright election theft through court cases, bad faith electors, and violence.
And shit like this? This is the threat. Explain that anyone who breaks ranks is going to be just as much of a target as pence was.
Hell, I wouldn't be shocked if we have a "Jan 6 was a day of patriotism" ad before this 70-something days is up.
58That's a rational view, but not born out by past experience. Sadly, there are apparently a huge number of horrible Americans who still think Trump is exactly right.
Hillary got flak for calling Trump supporters a "basket of deplorables," but in hindsight that was a kind way of saying it.

All the american zionist apartheid colonists will still support him, though, because he also hates the other people more.
28Most American zionists aren't Jewish to begin with. They're evangelical Christians who want to ship all the Jews back to the "Holy Land" to kick-start "Armageddon" so they themselves can get "Raptured." They don't give a shit about Jews; they just want them gone.
They have more than enough privilege to support Trump's hate without any risk to themselves -- actually, even that is an understatement: they're at the very core of Trump's base.
33Yes. Hatred is not logical.
Why are US ‘pro-Israel’ groups boosting a far-right, anti-Muslim UK extremist?
And, remember, there were German Jews who supported Hitler: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_German_National_Jews

Wait! He can't be antisemitic, his son in law is Jewish! /s
And he has on multiple occasions told Jews they have to have their head checked if they vote Democrat, instead of the group with tiki torches chanting about how 'Jews will not replace us". He is also currently on a KKK campaign stop tour which makes this land even better.

trump really wanted Kamala to pick this guy as VP, it's why it's not the first time he's brought Shapiro up and why he even knows his name.
88Shapiro would have given him so much material to work with. He would have called him a classic coastal elite, uppity lawyer, dyed-in-the-wool career politician. He would have called him an Obama impersonator.
Walz is giving him no angles of attack, it's really an inspired pick.
68Walz is giving him no angles of attack, it’s really an inspired pick.
But it's the type of politicians the Dem party should always be running...
Kamala is doing a lot better than Biden, but someone like Walz would be doing the Super Bowl Shuffle all the way to the White House without breaking a sweat.
He's the type of candidate our voters want, and how he went from completely unknown to ridiculously popular in like a month just shows that the "name recognition" stuff was always bullshit.
Walz isnt unique. He's great, but there's lots of politicians out there like him. It's just almost impossible for them to get to the national stage when the DNC, media, billionaires, and lobbists like AIPAC want neoliberals.
54Walz is giving him no angles of attack, it’s really an inspired pick.
Republicans don't have a counter for wholesome.

there's no way this guy didn't have a stroke
38But he specifically said he didn't have a series of mini strokes, when nobody had asked. Claimed he was getting ahead of a rumor he said everybody was spreading when nobody had ever heard it.
I think that clears it up.

Picking a fight with another governor that has higher approval than he has in a state he must win? Please proceed, Don.
29What do they mean "goes off the rails"? The man hasn't even seen a rail in over a decade, let alone been on one.
28I swear to GOD he's trying to get out of getting elected but remain visibly hurt enough to get funding. He's struck out and flipped off every demographic save for white Christian males. And he's still pulling 49% at betting sites.
13The fact that he still has Christian supporters is crazy to me from the beginning. He’s the definition of sin from their perspective and back in 2015 I was sure they would see that and feel uncomfortable about his lifestyle but NOPE!
14If he does not get elected, he will see jailtime. He is just desperate and his run of dumb luck seems to be stalled at the moment.
His strategy only works if people act in their short term self interest and don’t stand up to him.
Enough people, (the Business Execs, the National Security Hawks, and the Petit Bourgeoisie) finally understand that, if he gets elected, this will their very last chance to vote.
They are standing up to him. They are providing real support.
The fact that she skipped the primaries means Harris avoided the normal Democratic Circular Firing Squad. She has a real chance.
BTW, I just spent the week in South Georgia. Georgia is in play. I was in a bar listening to old white dudes argue hammer and tong about Trump. I have been going down there regularly for 10 years. That never happened before. In the last year and a half, the loud Pro-Trump people started keeping their mouths shut. Now, they do not give any outward signs of support.
Trump lost GA last time.

Just have to keep reminding self that his days on the media menu are shortening
6Surely this will work.
4Man, his frontal shots are insane. There was some cringe screenshot of a tiktok from his official channel on Lemmy and it was the first time I've seen him looking just like that, and then more and more in the last week or so. It's amazing how this angle changes him. Like a masterfully carved statue or a theater mask akin to Hannya, employing a visual illusion to change the perceived emotion by tilting it. Central Don isn't an orange hitler previous photos shown to scare dems into voting, now he's a balding baby in distress, and I want to see more of that as article covers.
4You have to wonder why he's doing that, since he's so image focused. My guess: he's freaked out enough by the prospect of losing that he's just trying anything to see what sticks
2Or that the policy in the media changed so all unlucky angles that were previously known as undesirable to every photographer are now allowed and even encouraged. It's free for all to bash the cheeto. Not in a side shot, catching his ear, but right in his eyes.
