Kamala Harris gets it. Yes, we should fear Trump—but we should also mock him mercilessly, because it drives him nuts.
Donald Trump is in free-fall. Read this description from Sunday’s Washington Post of how the GOP nominee spent last week: “[A]ides did not want a situation where he was watching the convention every night, getting angry, and then just golfing all day and stewing, according to people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private interactions. Trump also had grown annoyed with the news coverage that depicted him as not working as hard as his opponent, one person who talked to him said.”
If you didn’t know that the article was about Trump and you just read it cold without knowledge of the context, you might think it was a description of parents trying to figure out how to handle an ungovernable four-year-old. So they convinced Trump to get out of Bedminster and hit the road, trading suck-ups with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. In the past, Trump has called Kennedy the “dumbest member” of the Kennedy family and a “radical left lunatic.” Kennedy has calledTrump a “terrible human being” and “probably a sociopath.”
Well no shit, Sherlocks. Ever heard of “bully the bully”? Glad they’re finally catching on. Took too long.
Trump had a known decades long overreaction to some reporter calling him a short fingered vulgarian when he ran in 2016.
Congrats on the Dems for finally using that to their advantage I guess.
When they eventually hit on what his father used to call him, hoo boy
His father called him a short fingered vulgarian?
> decades> 2016I am not sure that 8 years qualifies as decadesIn an article from 2016 that makes the age clearer:
The short fingered vulgarian quote is now almost 40 years old.
Oh, well maybe I got lost in the grammar.
Would have made it clearer.
Spy magazine used to have an annual “Top Ten Worst People, Places or Things” feature in the late '80s and early '90s and Trump always made the list. Year after year, his only mitigating factor was “at least he’s not in politics”. One year Trump also offered to pay for the funeral of a child killed by a bear - which promise he almost certainly reneged on.

He had the decades long overreaction in 2016
I checked, and no I did not.
The decades long overreaction was known in 2016.
You are reacting to deleted comment, because deletion unfortunately sometimes does not propagate very well to other instances.
Yeah, I have misunderstood the grammar of your sentence.
Decades long? 2016 was approximately 0.8 decades ago
The grudge had existed for decades in 2016. It didn’t start then.
Bully the bully requires unity among their victims though, and if there’s one thing bullies do well, it’s sow discord.
I mean, back in my country, I used to beat the shit out of the fuckers and they straighten up after that. Doesn’t work that way in the USA unfortunately. Lol
If you’re talking at the schoolyard level, it definitely works in the US.
I don’t even know what that means honestly. I didn’t go to school in the US.
I’m saying that the tactic you described works against bullies in the US, if we are talking about bullies at the schoolyard level.
Not sure what was unclear about my response?
I see, I was confused with the “schoolyard” term. Sorry, English is my second language. So, you mean it’s in US schools, too?
Ah now I feel bad lol. No worries.
Yeah that’s basically what I meant.
There are bullies at all levels of society, and unfortunately, the US allows many of them to not only get away with it, but it’s often encouraged.
No need to feel bad. We communicate and understand things. Thank you for explaining it.
the effective responses for bullies are either ignore or bully back
