‘Donald Trump is losing his marbles,’ former Congressman and Republican Adam Kinzinger said

Republicans are concerned that party leader Donald Trump is having a “public nervous breakdown” after he made a series of offensive outbursts about Vice President Kamala Harris as he slips behind her in the polls.

The former president has made a number of  insulting personal attacks against his Democratic rival since she moved to the top of the ticket. Last week, Trump questioned Harris’s racial identity  at the National Association of Black Journalists conference. Over the weekend, he accused Harris of having a “low IQ.” 

New polls indicate Trump is slipping behind the vice president in the popular vote and races are tightening in battleground states. 

“This is what you would call a public nervous breakdown,” Matthew Bartlett, a Republican strategist and former Trump state department appointee, told Politico.

Could just be his old man dementia finally surfacing. He's fucking old, the oldest presidential candidate for sure. He's done, he should just drop out, it's pathetic. #donewithdementiadon

Mad (wannabe) king, with his subjects all in diapers, fixated and all chanting along in unison as he deteriorates "the nurses are all stealing the desert off my food tray!!! The nurses are all stealing the dessert off my food tray!!! The horses are all feeling the dress shirts on my good day!!! The morsels are healing my farts and the dogs gay!!!"

All the grifters surrounding their grifter in chief are going to "Weekend at Bernie's" his old, weird deteriorating body and mind so hard.

Hasn't this already been happening for the past 8 years?

Republicans worry Trump is having a 'public nervous breakdown'

No, Trump is just preparing his insanity defense for when he loses.

To be fair, there's a lot of bad blood between Kinzinger and Trump.

[-] cynthorpe@discuss.online 8 points 4 months ago

How come when this guy has a public nervous break down it's big news, but when the rest of us have one it's "suck it up and get therapy?"

I want people to get worried about the country when I have a nervous breakdown.

How is your nuclear engineering? You could potentially make folks quite nervous, indeed.

How would you be able to tell?

He never had any marbles to lose. He doesn't read and has a short attention span. He's only interested in enriching himself and gaining power, he doesn't care about anyone else, he doesn't care about this country. He doesn't care about people's beliefs, they are just a tool he uses as a means to an end.

At least 20 years too late on that "worry."

[-] kandoh@reddthat.com 5 points 4 months ago

I think almost dying really rattled him. He seems very unthrilled about being out in public now.

[-] Milk_Sheikh@lemm.ee 7 points 4 months ago

He was SHOOK at the RNC days after the attempt - it would have been the funniest thing for someone to pop a balloon right as he walked out
