    Trump has also fielded calls from donors who are upset about his running mate, JD Vance, and the Ohio senator’s previous comments including referring to Harris as a ‘childless cat lady.”

    Trump dismissed calls for Vance to be replaced on the ticket, but he also asked advisers if they were aware of the comments before Vance was selected.

    At the Hamptons dinner, Trump also downplayed the Democrats’ strategy of painting the GOP as “weird.”

    “Not about me. They’re saying that about JD,” Trump said, according to the Times.

    Oof. Incredible lack of self-awareness while also throwing your running mate under the bus lol

      Trump whipped a violent mob into a frenzy ready to actually lynch his last running mate. JD just needs to look at Pence to see what his own future holds.

        If they win, they are going to 25th Ammendment Trump. Then it will be Peter Thiels puppet in charge.

        Make no mistake about it.

          It would be funny to see Donald stroke out with rage from that. But it would be even funnier to see him stroke out with rage if he is defeated by a black woman. Also it wouldn’t be a fascist dictatorship, so I’d greatly prefer the latter.

        If by “genuinely thinks” you mean “is in denial”, sure. It’s not so much a matter of believing it or not, he just says what he wants to be true, simple as.
