‘Donald Trump is losing his marbles,’ former Congressman and Republican Adam Kinzinger said

Republicans are concerned that party leader Donald Trump is having a “public nervous breakdown” after he made a series of offensive outbursts about Vice President Kamala Harris as he slips behind her in the polls.

The former president has made a number of  insulting personal attacks against his Democratic rival since she moved to the top of the ticket. Last week, Trump questioned Harris’s racial identity  at the National Association of Black Journalists conference. Over the weekend, he accused Harris of having a “low IQ.” 

New polls indicate Trump is slipping behind the vice president in the popular vote and races are tightening in battleground states. 

“This is what you would call a public nervous breakdown,” Matthew Bartlett, a Republican strategist and former Trump state department appointee, told Politico.

Mad (wannabe) king, with his subjects all in diapers, fixated and all chanting along in unison as he deteriorates "the nurses are all stealing the desert off my food tray!!! The nurses are all stealing the dessert off my food tray!!! The horses are all feeling the dress shirts on my good day!!! The morsels are healing my farts and the dogs gay!!!"

All the grifters surrounding their grifter in chief are going to "Weekend at Bernie's" his old, weird deteriorating body and mind so hard.

Republicans worry Trump is having a 'public nervous breakdown'

No, Trump is just preparing his insanity defense for when he loses.

To be fair, there's a lot of bad blood between Kinzinger and Trump.

[–] cynthorpe@discuss.online 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Is there anyone he does not have bad blood with

How come when this guy has a public nervous break down it's big news, but when the rest of us have one it's "suck it up and get therapy?"

I want people to get worried about the country when I have a nervous breakdown.
