"Donald Trump is unstable": Kamala's CNN town hall shows why he is afraid to face her
Trump lamely calls Harris "low IQ" and "lazy," but her calm competence is undeniable to anyone watching

(Salon) Donald Trump hopes he can confuse people about Vice President Kamala Harris's intelligence through sheer force of racism and repetition. "Shes lazy as hell," the GOP candidate said during a fundraiser held at his own golf resort in Florida. Trump, who has canceled multiple interviews outside of his own home, due to "exhaustion," falsely claimed Harris has a "reputation" and accused her of being "on drugs." The Associated Press classified this as part of the "overtly racist rhetoric" that has been "fixtures of Trumps public life." Ironically, the reliance on silly racist stereotypes is a sign of Trump's own laziness, as he can't be bothered to come up with something more original.

We were reminded again of why Trump flees from anyone who would dare ask him a real question this week, due to extensive reports from the Atlantic and the New York Times which reiterated Trump's loathing of the American military and his affection for Adolph Hitler and his fantasies of a fascist army. Harris responded Wednesday with a speech asking Americans if they want to put a man in office who admires Hitler but disdains everyday American soldiers tasked with defending democracy.

When asked about this during the town hall, Harris said, "The people who know Donald Trump best, the people who worked with him in the White House" have "all called him unfit and dangerous." She reiterated that Trump's former chief of staff, General John Kelly, "is putting out a 911 call to the American people" by labeling Trump a fascist. When asked by Anderson Cooper if she agrees Trump is a fascist, she said, "Yes, I do."

Trump, however, could not answer questions about his fascist views or Hitler affection, because he was too afraid to show up. His campaign is likely terrified he'll get angry and defensive and like his Fox News buddy Brian Kilmeade, go off on a tangent arguing that wanting to be more like Hitler isn't such a bad thing. ...................(more)

MAGAs already know Trump is unstable, a bully, and immoral. It's time for us to realize that millions of people in this country want a leader just like him. Unfortunately, they admire his behavior.

They know that the left uses it like a curse word. People need to understand how this type of government will affect their daily lives.
