Donald Trump's ego cannot handle being trounced by Kamala Harris
As the Harris-Walz team soars (polls are already showing Kamala Harris taking the lead) Trump is cracking up.
His ego can’t take it. He is incapable of running against a Black woman who’s trouncing him.
Trump is floundering because the attention and positive energy generated by Harris and Walz have threatened his ego so much he cannot directly focus on his opponent. So he falls back on the size of her crowds relative to his, her race, the “stolen election”, his grievances against Republicans who didn’t support him, and the New York Times.
Trump’s rage has worked for him in the past but it is not working against Harris and Walz because they are running by a playbook that’s fueled by excitement and hope rather than grievance and narcissism.
