Donald Trump has taken his obsession with crafting falsehoods about Democratic nominee Kamala Harris to the next level, penning his own fan fiction on Tuesday about the vice president.

    In a rant rife with misspellings and baseless conspiracy, Trump wrote: “What are the chances that Crooked Joe Biden, the WORST President in the history of the U.S., whose Presidency was Unconstitutionally STOLEN from him by Kamabla, Barrack HUSSEIN Obama, Crazy Nancy Pelosi, Shifty Adam Schiff, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, and others on the Lunatic Left, CRASHES the Democrat National Convention and tries to take back the Nomination.”

    The ex-president continued, “He feels that he made a historically tragic mistake by handing over the U.S. Presidency, a COUP, to the people in the World he most hates, and he wants it back, NOW!!!”

    I don’t think Trump knows what the constitution is

      He just can’t accept that someone willingly can give up power, I think this is very close to what he felt when the 2020 election was “stolen” from him.

      And it’s funny how he can’t let Obama go from his mind, talk about living rent free…

        He swore to protect it and then violated the one law defined within it that an individual can break that has a prescribed punishment. Why we haven’t implemented the prescribed necktie outlined in the constitution I don’t know. I guess we just don’t want 100% of the people we’ve tried under that law to be white dudes? And also! What he did was 1000x worse than what John Brown did.

          I do: we have at least 34 Senators and 5 SC Justices who let him do it. It’s as simple as that. If he didn’t have either group of people in his pocket, he’d be in jail right now.

      Honestly that first quote reads like a bad AI impersonating trump, it’s that unhinged.

      The second before he posted it, an SNL audience would have been in hysterics if someone did an impersonation of him and read that verbatim, as it would have come across as a comically flanderised version of the real him.

      Alas, we continue through the bottom of the barrel beneath the one we started in

              Exactly what I was thinking. It’s a common pattern of his; he can’t ever be wrong, so when he fucks up he has to act like it was intentional.

              This one is going to be extra funny though because his cult will immediately try to imitate it, and we’ll get to see them all stumbling over trying to pronounce “Kamabla”

                You just made me realize, maybe that’s the point.

                He generally refuses to say her name correctly, with the hard first ‘a’ instead of the flatter one. However when you use “blah”, it’s generally a flat ‘a’, and you’d almost never use that hard ‘a’ for “blah” unless you were being sarcastic. Anyways, when using “blah” like you should say her first ‘a’, he now shows he could say it right, he just refuses to.

            He’s deleted typos in the past. He had one tweet referring to “swampman bidan” that he deleted soon after and put the exact same tweet up with Biden’s name spelled correctly. But then again he left covfefe up, so who knows why his stable genius abrain makes the decisions it does.

      So he’s just going to once again decide that his Alzheimer’s word garbling was a purposeful thing he meant to do that’s now totally legitimate? I wonder if he decided that over some covfefe.

      He’ll never get his rematch, he’ll always be 0-1 to Joe and it’s driving him insane. Let alone the fact that his new opponent is his kryptonite and killing him in his beloved “ratings”. He’s getting booed off stage and Democrats are filling arenas with people chanting “U.S.A”.

      If anyone reads the writing on the wall to him, he might finally snap.

    In case anybody hasn’t noticed, Trump has shifted away from lying in the form of “plausible deniability” or lies that have at least a kernel of reality to them so long as you dig deep enough and just don’t think too hard about it, to literally just making up events about things that other people did that simply never happened.

    He said Obama went online and publicly withheld his support for Harris, only for news outlets to show the moment he endorsed her, which was two days before his post.

    He said Harris was a “border czar” that she literally never was.

    And now, whatever this word salad is. I’m not even going to try to make any sense of it because there is absolutely no possible way that any of that makes even the slightest bit of common sense no matter how many conspiracy theories you subscribe to or how much meth you’ve taken. Remember that scene from Billy Madison? “I award you no points, and may god have mercy on your soul”. Billy Madison would look like a Harvard graduate compared to this.

    All he’s doing now is just accusing random people of random things and hoping his base believes it.

      I feel like this has been going on for a long time, though? He literally lied about the crowd size of his inauguration 8 years ago despite pictures of the actual crowd being widely available.

          Sure, and if they’d have done that from the start 10 years ago maybe things would have developed differently. But at this point everyone already knows he is a pathological liar, and neither his devoted supporters nor the independent/undecideds seem to care.

        Yeah this is classic Trump actually, the famous difference between a Bullshitter and a Liar. He’s a Bullshitter because he doesn’t care what the truth is, he just says whatever will help him. Biden is re-joining the race. Covid restrictions will end by Easter 2020. He won the 2020 election. Obama is a secret Muslim with a fake birth certificate. Just whatever. He gets called out on these things and just sticks with them.

        A Liar has a relationship with the truth but says the opposite. A Bullshitter has no relationship with the truth.

        But there was at least some subjectiveness to it. Crowd sizes can be relative. The exaggerations he made were akin to the exaggerated benefits of whatever product you see during a television commercial. It was subjective hype, largely opinion based and about things that in the end really don’t matter outside of inflating his own ego. When he was saying things that other people did, there was a kernel of truth to them if you dug down far enough. It’s just that kernal was intentionally spun, misinterpreted, and twisted well beyond being out of proportion.

        “He did XYZ, which is a criminal act that the American people will not stand for and will bring harm to all sorts of families like nobody saw before blah blah blah blah blah.” Everything else about it may be a complete lie taken way, way, way out of context. But most of the time, at least XYZ happened. Trump’s twisted interpretation of it and the context of it was what Trump used to lie about.

        Now he’s not even bothering to look for the kernel of truth to latch on to. He’s just making it all up. The distinction might be subtle or even irrelevant to most people, but it’s there and it’s important to point it out because it shows that Trump’s normal lies aren’t even working any more and he’s becoming more and more desperate.

          Ummmm…that’s not how counting works.

          I agree with you that a lot of things can be relative. But crowd size at his inauguration is a terrible example of that (no offence). Two rallies in the same location, the number of attendants isn’t a relative ephemeral thing, it’s a cold-hard-statistic.

            Did you count heads? No? Then you’re going based on estimations and opinions, which are relative. Maybe the people were standing a little further apart in a previous rally, giving the impression of more people showing up. Maybe there was a section of Trump’s crowds that were not properly pictured. Maybe some people hadn’t shown up yet when the picture was taken.

            Now, none of this actually happened. But unless you have an exact head count of how many people showed up, there’s a whole bunch of maybes that Trump could and did hide behind to give him that bare minimum level of plausible deniability; that usual “Well, that’s what I was told” schtick he likes to do. That’s what he hid behind.

            To stay with this example, he’s not even trying to do that any more. Now, instead of staying with the purposely vague “largest crowd ever!”, he’s saying “There were 7,692,814 people, 34 martians, and a partridge in a pear tree. Period.” and just hoping people start singing the 12 days of Christmas instead of thinking about what he actually said. He’s stopped hiding behind the thin plausible deniability he had and is just spouting out things that are objectively and provably false, hoping his base will continue accepting it as fact and not bothering to check.

              Now, instead of staying with the purposely vague “largest crowd ever!”, he’s saying…

              If we’re sticking with the inauguration example, Trump actually specified a “a million, a million-and-a-half” as his estimate, while the probable reality was more like 300,000 - 600,000[1]. I believe “largest crowd ever” was Sean Spencer’s line.

              For more blatant lies that are easily fact-checked he also claimed to have personally witnessed people jumping out of the windows of the skyscrapers during 9/11. Trump’s residence is more than four miles away from ground zero. [2].

              Don’t forget when he randomly said low flow toilets were causing problems with water use because people were “flushing 10 to 15 times” [3] or when he went on about the noise of windmills causing cancer [4].

              He has never had any regard for reality and has not had problems making things up out of thin air, going back decades - probably forever.
