The Maggie Haberman-Jonathan Swan New York Times report from behind the scenes of convicted felon former President Trump’s campaign since Joe Biden called it quits you’ve been waiting for is here and it’s ugly. “Trump has often been in a foul mood the past few weeks. He has ranted about Harris. He has called her ‘nasty,’ on ‘Fox and Friends,’ and a ‘bitch,’ repeatedly, in private, according to two people who heard the remark on different occasions,” they write. Other lowlights:
Telling donors at a dinner in the Hamptons “I think I was right” to question Harris’s racial background at that NABJ shitshow and that they’ve “got to stop the steal” when the rich assholes present were more concerned about winning the actual election than pre-excusing a defeat to Harris.
Asked about that “weird” attacks at the fundraiser, Trump said they’re “not about me. They’re saying that about JD.” Trump has also been questioning whether his advisors knew about the “childless cat lady” rants before he announced Vance would be his replacement for Mike Pence.
Tony Fabrizio complaining to the Times that Harris “has gotten the equivalent of the largest in-kind contribution of free media I think I have ever seen in all the years I’ve been doing presidential campaigns,” something the Orange God Emperor always feels deeply entitled to having.
Fabrizio also keeps telling people polling is going to improve, but the Times mentions that “Two private polls conducted in Ohio recently by Republican pollsters – which Mr Trump carried in 2020 with 53 percent of the vote – showed him receiving less than 50 percent of the vote against Ms Harris in the state, according to a person with direct knowledge of the data.” If those polls found Harris ahead the Times probably would’ve said that, so more likely it means Robert F Kennedy Jr and the other third party shitbags are eating into his support in the Buckeye State.
In related news, Trump lost his shit at Haberman on Truth Social Friday night, posting “Two Failing New York Times ‘reporters’ questioned my story about a forced landing of a helicopter, in a field, with former Mayor of San Francisco, Willie Brown, and others. First of all, it was in New Jersey, not California, and it was Willie Brown, not former Governor Jerry Brown. So far they are about as accurate as they are with their other stories about me. At least when I became President, the NYT apologized to their readers for their REALLY BAD REPORTING ON THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE.”
“They’ll probably have to do that again, much as Maggot Hagermann should apologize for her Fake & Fraudulent writing on the Russia, Russia, Russia HOAX, along with many other of her poorly written and badly researched stories. In an article dated April 15, 2011, ‘His Willieness dishes about his good buddy Donald Trump. I remember one time Trump sent his private jet to Boston to pick me up.’ He’s just angling for another ride in Trump’s jet (helicopter!). But now Willie doesn’t remember? No, he remembers!” Before that Trump had angrily posted that “there were ‘Logs,’ Maintenance Records, and Witnesses,” for the flight that Brown still says never happened. Seems like he’s digging a deeper hole.
