No, not all publicity is good publicity.
Case-in-point? “Daffy Donald” Trump. In case you haven’t seen the news lately, Donald Trump has been having a terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad week. The Democrats just had a fantastic convention, with a fantastic acceptance speech by a presidential candidate who truly meets the moment.
The good vibes were just too much for poor Daffy Donnie. The thought of losing the election—or of having to forego his plans for a second insurrection—seemed to have put him in a very foul mood.
As you could expect, Trump’s Truth Social posts last week were dripping with crazy:
When Vice President Harris took the stage, Trump responded with, “WHERE’S HUNTER?” (emphasis not mine).
I don’t know Donald, but are you sure you even know where you are at this point? How about taking that cognitive test you were once so eager to take? Or are you afraid it might raise questions about your mental fitness for the presidency?
But I digress. Daffy Donald then lashed out at Walz, claiming that (GASP) Walz “was an ASSISTANT Coach, not a COACH” (emphasis mine).
Not true, but seriously? Is this what that out-of-touch fool thinks ordinary Americans care about?
Finally, the morning after the last night of the Democratic National Convention, Trump vowed on Truth Social that his “Administration will be great for women and their reproductive rights.”
Huh?
Huh?
Since when? And when does he plan on telling his handpicked Supreme Court about this? Or his Project 2025 handlers?
It is all very strange, isn’t it? Well, if you thought all that was weird, then I have news for you…
Later that Friday, RFK Jr. dropped out of the race to endorse Donald Trump.
Okay, so that part isn’t so surprising. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a KINO—or, a “Kennedy In Name Only.” The principled environmental activist we once knew is long gone. Only to be replaced with a COVID conspiracist, a January 6th sympathizer, and an admitted Trump spoiler (per his own campaign officials). Weirdest of all, Kennedy is also both a brain worm sanctuary and a dead bear prank enthusiast. Not exactly the best way for Trump to run from the “weird” label.
But yet again, I digress. For RFK Jr., the choice was clear: Trump, he proclaimed, was the only candidate in the race who could protect America from creeping “totalitarianism.” Earlier that Friday, Fox Business reported that Trump’s Bedminster golf club would be hosting “the J6 Awards Gala,” a fundraiser meant to help cover the legal fees of the January 6 “hostages.” Trump had even been invited as a headline speaker.
Yup, that’s Trump. Fighting on the front lines to protect our most treasured American institutions…NOT!
Can you make this stuff up? “Daffy Donald” and his Looney Tunes excuse of a Republican Party truly have no shame. They have given up on democracy and common sense alike. Most striking of all, they bartered it all away for a cheap stale lounge club act.
No Trump campaign blitz is going to make that trade off any easier to swallow.
