We are all now so desensitised to Trump that it can be easy to forget he lacks the ability to string a sentence together. Yet he’s frighteningly close to being back in charge

Ladies, are you DEPRESSED and UNHAPPY? Do you feel POORER and LESS HEALTHY than you did four years ago? Do you pray one day your little woman brain will NO LONGER BE THINKING ABOUT ABORTION all the time? Well, don’t worry, Donald Trump is going to FIX ALL OF THAT.

So he says, anyway. At 11.42pm on Friday night Trump flexed his fingers, hit the all-caps key, and ranted on Truth Social about how UNHAPPY women are under the Biden administration. What happened at 11.41pm to prompt this, I wonder? Did he get a preview of some new polls which show him trailing Kamala Harris, partly thanks to a historic gender gap that sees Harris leading among women 58% to 37%? Did Trump decide, in his infinite wisdom, that the best way to fix this was an all-caps rant? Because I am not sure that is a winning strategy.

      I wonder why women would be “more depressed and unhappy than they were four years ago”, and “less optimistic and confident in the future than they were four years ago”? Might it possibly have something to do with what his women-hating appointees have done in the last four years? No, must be Biden’s fault. /s

      Apart from, you know, everything else, I find it remarkable that he’s not actually addressing women, but writing about them in the third person.
      As if he was saying “Men, vote for me, and I’ll make your women happy again.” That women have agency themselves simply doesn’t occur to him.

        He’s telling men their women are safe from aborting their children or leaving them. Pretty soon we’ll see laws about rape forgiveness if the man agrees to marry the woman, without her consent of course.

        Someone sent this to truth social instead of the teleprompter. Though I always figured his teleprompter was just showing pictures of various bullshit he wants to rant about.

        Bruh. I would have never noticed that, so thanks for bringing it up. 5.21k does look like a “biglier” number than 5,210 if you’re a fucking idiot I guess.

      Ronald Reagan was a super shitty president, and we’re still dealing with the ramifications of his administration. Trump can fuck right off with his bullshit and all-caps “mentally-stable genius” rants. He needs a locked padded room and a therapist.

      It’s either “with the states” or “with powerful exceptions,” you can’t dictate both.

      But his base is too dumb to understand. I’m actually kind of shocked the Overton window has shifted enough that “powerful exceptions” are in the Republican position.
