The Meltdown!

He walked onstage as a fire-breathing dragon, his anger showing, his face red or maybe more orange ready to do battle but instead the minute he opened his mouth, it was more of the same. It was one insult after another and lies that no one could keep up with no matter how quickly they did the fact-checking. Trump looked old and feeble as he tried to recapture the momentum he had lost as Harris grabbed the limelight and showed him who’s the boss. He was an almost winner as the bullet grazed his ear which catapulted him to a sure win but alas, Kamala Devi Harris came in like a trojan horse and the man who loves crowd-size more than anything else and of course the word, “HUGE” was left dancing in the dust as he watched his winning streak go up in flames.

Trump held an hour-long conference which was meant to revitalize his downward spiraling campaign but as usual his mouth overloaded any chance he had of coming across as a true leader and instead he zeroed in on his arch rival, the lady who has for some reason got him by the b***s and is not planning to let go any time soon. He might as well have thrown in the towel because he had nothing to offer as to why he is the better candidate but instead he came across as a petulant child in a grown man’s body.

His monologues were rambling and not going anywhere, he was incoherent, his demeanour worn-out, tired and fading just like the man himself and his insults were just that, pure Trump. He didn’t need truth on his side, why would he when he had lies to bolster his confidence. He went on attack-mode and stayed there calling Harris “stupid,” and “incompetent.” It was like watching the pot calling the kettle black, if you know what I mean.

He gripped about Jewish Americans supporting Harris. His exact words were, “They should have their heads examined.” He didn’t add that the lady in question is married to a Jewish man which was all the more comical. The rambling went on and on and so did the insults. He added, “She’s not smart enough to do a news conference.” Really?!! Kamala Harris attended Howard University and graduated with a degree in political science and economics. She has “smarts” oozing out of every pore. Trump, on the other hand, once declared himself as a “very stable genius.” However, he has refused to release his school transcripts and according to presidential historian Barbara Perry, “I think he’s our most cunning president and I think there is a certain amount of intellect that that requires. So, maybe for some presidents, they make up for lack of native brilliance and intelligence with cleverness. And he obviously knows how to work a crowd, so I’m not going to take that away from him.” Stick that in your pipe and smoke it Donald!

All in all, it was a disaster of a news conference. He praised himself, patted himself on the back several times, threw grenades at his opponents, hunkered down in the mud and acted like the spoiled little brat that he is. He proved several things. He doesn’t know when and where to draw the line, doesn’t know how to take it on the cheek and move on AND most importantly, the convicted felon and abuser of women is a sore loser, a wannabe dictator and lastly, he is a disaster in the making and definitely not presidential material!
