How people perceive this guy as strong is a real head scratcher. He's basically a five year old.

Only the biggest pissbabies cry ‘not fair!’
Perhaps he’d like some cheese with his whine?
This guy is like a decrepit zoolander.
Let me get this straight: Trump thinks that the Democratic Party selecting their presumptive nominee a month before the convention is "election interference" and "the first ever coup in America"? Fucking how?
He thinks that he has to campaign against both Kamala Harris and Joe Biden at the same time now? What makes him think he needs to campaign against Joe?
He thinks this is "not fair" that Kamala is now the nominee, but he also thinks "she should be easier than [?] to beat than Crooked Joe"? Who exactly does he think this is unfair for? Kamala?
Unexpected withdrawal? We'd all been calling for it for months. Trump litterally can't fathom bowing out.
It's nice to see him this scared.
BREAKING NEWS: COMPLAINING BAG OF LIES COMPLAINS AND LIES, MORE AT 11.
Trump accused the Democratic Party of staging “the first ever ‘Coup’ in America.”
LOL
There's also the Wilmington insurrection , if you like reading about coups in the US
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilmington_massacre
The Wilmington insurrection of 1898, also known as the Wilmington massacre of 1898 or the Wilmington coup of 1898,[6] was a coup d'état and a massacre which was carried out by white supremacists in Wilmington, North Carolina, United States, on Thursday, November 10, 1898.[7] The white press in Wilmington originally described the event as a race riot caused by black people. In later study from the 20th century onward, the event has been characterized as a violent overthrow of a duly elected government by a group of white supremacists.[8][9]
Adding "the first ever" is really telling on yourself there
Well he tried but he failed, so...
He then shared particular frustration with the sudden change in his opponent, suggesting that the Democrats had orchestrated Biden's withdrawal to improve their chances.
Gosh, I don't think anyone else has figured that out! This guy is hella smart.
"It's no fair the other guy knows how to play the game better than me"
If someone had said two months ago that the Democrats would orchestrate something to improve their chances, I wouldn't have believed it
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.
His COVID response killed millions of Americans.
Hundreds of thousands. It reached one million shortly after Biden took office.
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.
Can you even call it a response?
Sure you can - the response was "let it spread, it hits blue states more than red states".
Well, that was wrong. It actually hit red states harder!
Because.....Idiots.
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 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.
I agree 100%. I didn't know that a felony removed the legal right to military funeral honors. Thank you.
