Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Of all the things that are likely to effectively separate him from his base, this is the best angle I think we've seen taken since 2015.
Appeals to their better nature haven't worked because they simply do not have one.
He's also an egomaniac that can't handle even the smallest forms of mockery. Remember "baby hands"? It got under his skin like crazy. This could actually tank his campaign, even though it feels extremely childish for politics
Are you saying his hands are small? I have it on his authority that trump has the biggest hands. Yuge. Such big hands you've never seen before. People tell me all the time, they say, "Donald has such big hands, I've never seen hands so large." I bet he could palm two basketballs at once. World leaders won't shake his hand because they're afraid their hands will look like tiny baby hands by comparison.
I bet those huge baby hands smell like baby shit
let’s be honest, it wasn’t entirely the size of his hands
"I've had no complaints, believe me"
Which of course either means that he's lying, which he usually is when telling people to believe him, or being a rich, powerful, thin-skinned and impossible narcissist have stop people from complaining or insulting him to his face.
the real question is how much air freshener do they go through?
Infinite amounts.
No such thing. But if he gets re-elected, I’m buying stock in glade.
If logical political attacks don't work because his base is too fucking stupid to understand them, then use illogical ones against the fat, smelly, tiny-handed, well-done steak eating piece of orange crap traitor.
But how many of his supporters have had covid so many times that they can’t smell shit if it’s up their own noses at this point?
Now I'm hopeful for the tiny hands campaign
Counterpoint: things like this drive him so crazy that he lashes out, further embarrassing himself.
Also, I don't think they believe he wears makeup. Ex's mom believed his tan was natural. You're right that they won't really believe or care, but I don't really think it's about convincing his voters at this point.
Also, by responding to the criticism, he validates it.
Nah, try it some time. Just start making fun of Trump supporters; try to make them embarrassed.
Shame is fundamental to why they believe what they do. Exposing that shame is extremely painful.
