Defeated Donald Trump limps to finish line with unhinged bitter defeatist rhetoric and lot of empty seats
Kamala Harris is soaring to the finish line with about as strong of momentum as one can have. Meanwhile Donald Trump is limping to the finish line in increasingly humiliating fashion. Trump’s last minute rhetoric suggests that he fully expects to lose and has given up hope.
Trump started off by asking the audience’s permission to “hit” Michelle Obama. The context suggested he was talking about hitting her metaphorically. But still, Trump is now slipping in as many violent words as he can. During a poorly attended rally today, Trump also said he wants to see Kamala Harris in a ring with Mike Tyson. Again, Trump is fantasizing about his political adversaries facing violence.
This kind of rhetoric is alarming as always. But it also gives away that Trump knows he’s going to lose. He’s given up hope already. He knows he’s on his way to prison and he’s fantasizing about taking everyone down with him. Trump is surrendering. Let’s each get as many people to the polls as we can tomorrow and finish him off.
