Trump Calls Himself a 'person of extraordinary genius'

Despite all the polling and commentary to the contrary, Donald Trump snarled at ABC on Saturday morning that he was the true winner of Tuesday's debate and then claimed the network is "under investigation."

Yeah, just ask him.
No, wait, don't bother: he'll tell you all about his mental wizardry himself, no prompting necessary.
What a blast
Person ... Woman-Man ... uh ... Camera? ... TEEBEE!

Trump's got one foot over the edge. One more big push and he's going to fall.

I make note of the fact that no MAGA has appeared to defend Trump's claim of extraordinary genius.

I've been on a couple of pages tonight and being the lemmings that they are, they seem to have all vanished over the edge too.

Republican Karl Rove says Trump got crushed by a woman he called dumb as a rock' during train wreck' debate
www.independent.co.uk

... Karl Rove, the Republican political consultant and deputy chief of staff in the George W Bush administration, has pulled no punches in an op-ed saying that Donald Trump's debate against Kamala Harris was a "train wreck" for him.

Calling Trump's debate performance "catastrophic", he goes as far as to say that he was "crushed by a woman he previously dismissed as dumb as a rock'."

Writing in The Wall Street Journal, Rove says the former president's performance was "far worse than anything Team Trump could have imagined" and Trump was "visibly rattled" as Harris "launched rocket after rocket at him." ...

@#5 ... Writing in The Wall Street Journal, Rove says the former president's performance was "far worse than anything Team Trump could have imagined" and Trump was "visibly rattled" ...

Yeah, that "visibly rattled" reminded me of a prior event with fmr Pres Trump. foreignpolicy.com

I mean that photo of fmr Pres Trump after his Helsinki meeting with Pres Putin looks quite similar to the images of fmr Pres Trump during the debate with VP Harris.

Question: Is it possible that Trump's people are really only showing him 'polls' which implied that he didn't lose the debate? Could his people be 'gaslighting' HIM?

And Trump says he weighs only 195 lbs too! If he says so , why should we believe our eyes??

Trump the dotard got stuck under a sunlamp way too long and his brain's fried. He has NO grasp of reality and for the safety of the country, he should be kicked off the Republican ticket.

@#7 ... Question: Is it possible that Trump's people are really only showing him 'polls' which implied that he didn't lose the debate? ...

Place yourself in the position of those running the Trump campaign.

What information would you want to feed fmr Pres Trump so that you could keep your job?

Stated differently, I think your question was its own answer.

"What information would you want to feed fmr Pres Trump so that you could keep your job?"

Isn't it obvious?

Create a diversion . . . like Hattians eating cats and dogs in Springfield, Ohio. The media and the public have been jumping all over that story since the debate. We're all being HAD!

Then the lie about visiting Springfield to keep the story front and center. Of course, the story is absurd. But Trump is getting all kinds of free publicity and loving every minute of it.

Diversions work!

Hey genius, someone took a shot at you a few weeks ago, maybe not wander your butt around huge open to the public golf courses and other venues. Maybe listen to your Secret Service detail and leadership...
Yes, you may get a few votes by getting shot at...but really, is it worth it to try and insure staying out of jail if you lose? After all, you so corrupted the federal Supreme Court that you face little risk of imprisonment.

"Hey genius, someone took a shot at you a few weeks ago,"

You don't suppose that was a set up, do you? Trump's Dr. Ronnie claimed that Trump had a 2cm hole in his ear. A 2cm hole is about the same size as a penny. That's not something that disappears overnight. In fact, here's no evidence that he even got nicked.

There are now at least 4 excuses being spread by trumpers explaining why Harris destroyed him in the debate.

All the excuses acknowledge she crushed trump.

#13 | Posted by Tor at 2024-09-16 03:01 PM

She got an advance copy of the questions.
Her earrings were receivers, and somebody was telling her what to say.
ABC never fact checked her.
ABC hosts were biased against him.
Harris was being mean to him.
The guy who did his makeup sprayed stuff in his ears.
Melania called and said she missed him. Please come home.
His cocaine supplier showed up late.
The debate was past his bedtime.

This sounds like tha5 famous Fredo Corleone line from the Godfather,"I'm smart! Not like everybody says... like dumb... I'm smart and I want respect." You know who's not a genius? Someone who tells you they are a genius. Dotard is not even smart, but he does have a feral cunning for seeing the worst in others and bringing it to the surface. He is a performer. And hopefully we are approaching his King of Comedy period where his audience is inanimate.

You know what the biggest difference between trump and his most recent (!) shooter is?

Trump was born rich.

Trump was born rich.

That's the difference between him and most people. If he hadn't been born rich no one would have ever heard of him.

If Trump had been born rich would be nicknamed Donnie big mouth the Small Time Hustler and part-time informant jailbird from Queens.

His only successful business is selling hats, flags and bible to very stupid people.

A smart person wouldn't sue to hide his grades.

A rich person wouldn't hide his taxes.

An honest person doesn't have to tell you they're honest.

A healthy person doesn't hide their medical records.

A faithful husband wouldn't have to pay $130,000 in hush money.

In short... a Lion doesn't have to tell you it's a Lion.

He is a stupid person's idea of a smart person.

It takes an "extraordinary genius" to allow them stupid democrats to figure out how to beat them geniuses in presidential elections ... from their basements.
