Heather Cox Richardson puts her finger on a major theme running through commentary on the DNC this morning:

“'This is just the way I am. I hate my opponent. I hate my opponents,' Trump told a confidant who advised the former president to consider backing away from calling the vice president 'stupid' or 'dumb' at their high-profile standoff in a few weeks, which he has done repeatedly.Trump explained to the confidant that he’s treating Harris the same way he did Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton."

/17Donald Trump: ‘I Hate My Opponent’
He’s ready to go personal in next month’s debate against Harris. Advisers are urging restraint.

“'Hillary, Joe, Kamala. It doesn’t matter. I just hate them.'
To another adviser, Trump was blunt about taking on Harris: 'I’m going to be mean.'”

"Our campaigns are dominating the trends on social media, garnering billions of impressions over the last two weeks. We are also pressing forward with our rapid response coverage to get ahead of the mainstream media’s pro-Trump agenda."

@JustRosy Yes, he can get over his lizard-brain fixations to save his soul, can he? Just trapped forever in those cycles of resentment and rage.

"Today we were able to get CNN to change a bogus headline in only 24 minutes, and tonight we trended #AmericaNeedsWalz to fight back against the media’s constant attacks on Tim Walz, already garnering over 100 million impressions."

@wdlindsy He needs to call his opponents stupid because of the cognitive dissonance between his boundaryless narcissism and the knowledge that he is a world class olympic fucking idiot

"Addicted to horse-race election coverage, the political press just can’t stop looking for ways to give Trump every single benefit of the doubt, all in an effort to create some supposed level playing field.
Case in point – check out the so-called fact-checkers."

Plus, Fox News not bothered by its anchor peddling an election lie, and a right-wing troll gets trolled.

Daniel Dale at CNN disappointing as well.
It seems once you're sucked into the propaganda outlets, you let go of journalistic standards.

@nutmeg They are almost all very thoroughly embarrassing themselves right now. I will never unsee the way they descended on Biden, an aging man trying to remain in good health, and surrounded him like sharks sensing blood in the water — something they have never done to Trump. I ask myself who raised people who can behave this way? And whether they, most of whom are on the younger side, ever reflect on the fact that they, too, may one day be old and would not want that treatment?

This has been one of the best things about the campaign from day 1, that support has been grassroots driven.
And nicely ironic that it is mainstream media who are making themselves redundant and obsolete.
The birth of the internet radically transformed traditional news media from being an industry where people actually researched and printed news, into little more than an opinion amplifier and echo-chamber where facts went out the window. And news is being democratized.

@wdlindsy oh gee, I’m scared now. No wait, he’s scared now. Like there’s any other way Trump knows how to be.

All that, and furthermore, how differently they treat The Orange Fascist's health. Whether his severe narcissism or his declining cognitive abilities, there's next to no serious article or segment, let alone every day and from multiple outlets.

For understandable reasons — you cannot fake this kind of adolescent emotional response to a parent who is loved and admired — this moment of Tim Walz's son Gus Walz saying "That's my dad!" as he points with pride to his father on stage at the DNC has taken social media by storm today.

@jgordon @msbellows I wonder if we're now seeing that it hasn't worked well at all, though.

@nutmeg Yes, absolutely. They're so shameless and oblivious to how they're showing themselves to the rest of us, and what the consequences will be as we shake our heads and refuse to listen to them ever again.

@annietime Yes, it's his default setting, isn't it? And he's gotten away with it for so long that he imagines he can keep doing it to the bitter end, damn the consequences.
