He doesn't give a shit. He firmly believes that the fix is in and regardless of what happens, he'll just win with slates of fake electors from trump states, or failing that, the court. He (and his people) don't honestly believe that the actual vote means shit.
And the sad reality is is that he's got a good shot at being absolutely right about that.
Just remember, if voting didn't matter, the GOP wouldn't try so hard to keep you from doing it.
Unfortunately, his "I don't give a shit" demeanor literally endears him to his voters.
They vote for him because they firmly feeeeeel that gubmit is holding their rugged individualism back and needs to be destroyed.
Of course their throats would be coughing up blood from all the screaming the millisecond one of the government services they don't appreciate or even realize they receive all day every day stopped happening.
But having abandoned, or never having had, basic critical thinking and reasoning skills, they'd just blame all the out groups they despise for the consequences of their own votes.
He is clearly mentally checked out and can still end up winning on coasting. It is wild I haven't seen his base angry about him ducking debates.
“Im Donald Trump and I got meth brain and shit pants. Lets DANCE!”
Harris Campaign needs to HAMMER THE SHIT OUT OF THIS for the next two weeks. He does not care at all.
They've already got a couple of posts up about it on their social media

The video on cancel looks like QVC. The "Trump Combat Knife" and banner promoting patriotaddictdeals.com just sum up the Republican party so well.

I think that's the point. He never cared. He never worked for this and never wanted it. He has been made into an icon by others and has become aware that his actions are not attached to consequences. Imagine you were playing fortnite but your character was invincible. You'd just be running up to people and doing obnoxious dance moves after awhile. That's what has happened here.
Like Brewster’s millions.
I want to make some sort of Poopster's Billions joke, but nah that's too crass. Also that would imply he actually had that much money.
Honest question, do you actually think anyone who is willing to vote for the Toupee is intelligent enough to care what he does?
It's also turnout game that matter at single digit percentages. If it dissuades 1% of trump supporters from turning out that matters. Or if it increases dem turnout by 1% that also matters
They don't give a flying fuck what he does to them so long as they think he's going to do worse things to other people.
Weird
Somebody slipped him an edible.
They slipped him his meds stuffed inside a hot dog
Some special peanut butter cups in that McFlurry.
Trump [...] answered a handful of questions from supporters before pausing the town hall due to the attendees requiring medical attention. At some point, Trump joked, “Personally, I enjoy this. We lose weight, you know. No, you lose weight. We could do this — lose four or five pounds.” He added, “Would anybody else like to faint? Please raise your hand.”
Whaaaat the fuck is he talking about? Glibness about his fainting attendees' health and barely veiled annoyance at them aside, what does that even mean? What did this have to do with losing weight? Is he losing weight by having to stand longer while people are medically attended to? If that's what he meant, it's a weird way to flex, implying that you are fat from sitting all the time, but ok.
lol yeah he realized he inadvertently called himself fat and then said "No, you lose weight."
Somehow that's even worse than "won't be fooled again"
At least Bush could think to the end of his sentence, even if it takes half the sentence to get there. Trump has to say it out loud before he can think about it.
To give Bush his credit, he said that "won't be fooled again" line because he realized he was about to say "shame on me," and that would have been used against him for the rest of his presidency.
It actually showed real on the spot adaptability.
hence my entire comment? He realized halfway through what he was going to say and changed it. Trump said the dumb thing, THEN corrected afterward.
I think maybe it’s because the fainting was presumably because it was hot? And if you sweat enough, you can lose a couple pounds or something? Still, pretty gross.
Kinda want to displace “weird” with “gross.” Weird can be good. Gross is never good.
Gross and creepy are more apt than weird for lots of their behaviors.
Very strange of Trump.
Some might even say "weird".
Trump is a deep cover Democrat trying to force conservatives to be gay through the music of the Village People.
At this point .... Turnip is not the idiot
America is ..... for putting up with this clown show of a so called 'political choice'.
I gave up about a year ago debating about dumb politicians ... at one point you just have to look at the entire situation and ask yourself, how dumb can everyone be? How collectively dumb and unaware does a nation have to be to get to this point?
Improving the education system needs to be priority #1 for the dems. We need it more than ever now and all they need to do to enhance their base is get iQs above 80 before kids Graduate high school.
That will take decades to have an impact, during which time Republicans will undo everything.
It happened fast. I was friends and family with plenty of people who were good, normal people, by any metric I was aware of, for most of my life. Cousins who were like best friends. Good friends who were like cousins. People who were like aunts and uncles to me. Always nice to me. Always nice to others as far as I know. And then everyone got on Facebook, and within like five years the idiocy was starting to spread.
Like 10 years ago in social media I confronted ohe of these folks, the daughter of some purple heart vet., on the issue of flag burning. I agree with the Supreme Court on this, and decades of firm precedent built on centuries of custom: that it is absolutely not a job of government to say what is orthodox in speech or thought; that if freedom of speech means anything at all, it means we have the right to burn the symbol of our country. Though you can say whatever you want about someone who burns the flag, the law is powerless to stop them; I mean, you have to have a fire extinguisher nearby and you cant do it inside a building, or you might risk a charge of reckless endangerment or breach of peace, but no crume could be chsrged on the basis that you burned one particular flag and not another. If you're a patriot, stand up for that. If you fought for this country, that's what you fought for. If you love America, you'd love that people can burn a flag.
And there was a wave of people who I knew to have been mostly reasonable and likable, who joined in this person as if I was Un-American.
I get it. The initial, bodily response to someone burning your flag is revulsion. None of these people could go further. Turns out, all of them were only nice to me because I was nice to them first. If they had felt threatened by me, their initial bodily response would have won the day.
They were not raised well. They were not permitted to express their emotions, let alone face them, and never learned to control that first gut reaction.
Hey, I have a great idea. Let's see what they think!
Hey ya'll, should criminals go free if the smoking gun evidence was obtained without a warrant?
Hey, is it cruel and unusual for the state to execute someone who just committed the most heinous crimes?
Yo, should criminals even when they're like ones who are cruel to animals or children all have a right to due process?
Say, mind if some of us take a knee during this song most revered by everyone you know and respect?
Hey, there's some folks that really need help, they had an unjust and unfair shake, also, they don't look anything like you, should we help them?
"Nah, can't think think about it for five seconds before forming a strong opinion based on emotional gut reactions, good luck changing it, libtard!"
Loser
The vagina on his neck is mesmerizing
I've heard it called a "nunt"
Haha 😆 that’s new to me. I have heard “nussy”
Totally not weird folks
His favorite song of the night: Ramble On
you can't make this up! this would actually be hilarious if he wasn't so dangerous...
I go to Rallies with presidential candidates to listen to music and form my political opinions by listening to DJs.
Weird shithead.
Just another stunt to stay in the media for any reason, no matter what.
Edit: having unwillingly thought about this more… no, this is just his overcompensation for the sick burn that people leave his rallies early. He’s too petty for this to be staged media attention performative art.
Weird stinky old man “dances” to music instead of answering questions
