    Donald Trump had a full-blown meltdown

    How many more meltdowns before he becomes an angry puddle of orange faeces?

    He’s mad cause the Democrats are absolutely crushing it. They went from being over 3 points behind in most polls with Biden, to now being almost 4 points ahead on average. He’s ignored the advice of all his campaign advisors… he really couldn’t help himself. Now he’s relying on Elon to help him “win” the election and it isn’t working as expected. All they have left it is perpetuate conspiracies & lies and hope that Twitter (X) has enough reach to change the outcome of the election. Musk isn’t even hiding that he’s manipulating the algorithms and allowing bots to run rampant anymore. THAT is their strategy to try to win. If he loses then Musk will immediately try to sell if he can, but X is now worth a small fraction of what he paid for it. I’d be surprised if he could get 2 billion for it. This was in 2023:

    Musk will have literally thrown away $40+ billion if Kamala wins.

      Musk has definitely thrown away $44+ Billion, regardless of the election outcome. He didn’t buy twitter BECAUSE he wanted to manipulate an election in the future, he bought it because if he didn’t the SEC had him dead to rights on stock manipulation charges. Musk had been openly claiming he was gonna buy twitter at meme-stock prices, driving up the stock price, without disclosing that he already owned a lot of twitter stock. He HAD to act like he meant it. It’s also why he did everything he could to back out of the deal, including making up bullshit about how twitter lied about the state of the platform, he didn’t want to go through with it. But Twitter came correct, proved they had their shit right, and literally forced him to go through with the sale.

        If I had a legally binding offer of a billion dollars for my picket lint, I’d force that deal through, too. I kinda hate that Twitter sold out, but I wouldn’t have done any different.

        One of the sellers will go back and buy it off him for 250 million in a few years and have their cake and eat it, too.

    Play by play? The whinefest was more like a Bray by bray.

    Also can you believe this is a real poster from the Trump campaign and not something dreamed up by one of the late night comedy show hosts?

        The keyword on the poster is “invited”. We could all as can MAGAts by creating events that are $2,500 a head and saying Trump is invited to attend.

      She’s still married to him. If he loses the election and the Republican party turns against him, and if he ends up having to pay half a billion in damages from his court cases, she’ll run to the media with some sob story about how she felt she couldn’t leave him sooner.

        After leaving him, she can just make money by having someone ghost-write a “My Life With an Orange” book for her and selling that.

        Another poster had an interesting take today; She could have left him at any point and still be fucking a real billionaire while cruising the med in his super yacht.

    The “deep end” business must be booming, as he seems to keep finding new ones to go off of.

    Occasionally, some of his posts veered into all-caps, probably when he was particularly upset, like when the Project 2025 manifesto was mentioned:  “LYING AGAIN ABOUT PROJECT 2025, WHICH SHE KNOWS, AND SO DO ALL DEMOCRATS, THAT I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH!” (She wasn’t lying.)
