Former President Donald Trump has denounced Vice President Kamala Harris’ nomination as the Democratic presidential candidate as “not fair,” escalating his rhetoric as new polls show Harris gaining substantial ground in key battleground states.

In a fiery statement on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump accused the Democratic Party of staging “the first ever ‘Coup’ in America.”

His outburst comes in the wake of President Joe Biden’s unexpected withdrawal from the 2024 race, which paved the way for Harris to become the Democratic nominee.

    Dementia DonOLD the weird racist rapist with 34 felonies is the biggest snowflake.

    It’s unfair that this piece of shit wasn’t hanged for treason, or rotting in a jail cell for getting people killed from his insurrection, or for being a fucking rapist.

          Sure you can - the response was “let it spread, it hits blue states more than red states”.

                Well that and COVID came into the country through blue states, California and New York especially. They looked at the initial data for how it was spreading and where, and concluded that that would stay the same. I guess, yeah, they’re just idiots that misinterpreted the data.

                You know, are there any red states with significant global cities, major hubs for international commerce and people? Miami I guess. Maybe they would have gotten it first.

          I’m counting the excess deaths and attributing them to COVID.

          By the time Biden took office, Trump’s damage was done: the virus was a hoax, the vaccine was a hoax, and no precautions needed to be taken because the virus would just disappear on its own. That’s all Trump’s handy work.

          Trump’s response is still killing people. I know at least three people who used to be normal individuals and then they fell in with Trump, got super weird and cringe, and decided COVID was a hoax, and then they died of COVID.

            I’m sorry to hear about that.

            Trump’s whole plan was to fix the pandemic with a vaccine. His idiot followers are anti-vaccine, though, and not even Trump could convince them otherwise.

            I do blame Trump for ignoring Fauci, discouraging mask-wearing, calling the virus a hoax at the beginning, and discouraging lockdowns. Oh, and holding rallies as usual, despite the risks.

            Operation Warp Speed was one of the few things he got right, but we lost a lot of people in the process.

              Thanks. They were already lost to me just by supporting Trump’s racist and other anti American rhetoric.

              I thought any decent president should have been vaccinated on live television and plastered all over their social media. Trump did it in secret and wouldn’t even admit it to his rabid followers. Maybe more of them would still be alive if he had.

      I am just thankful for his felonies. Removes all legal right he has to military funeral honors. He will likely still get them, but as a deployed veteran it warms my heart knowing they won’t be “real”.

      Draft dodgers should never even get a flag.
