Trump Directly Blames Harris and Biden’s Words for the Latest Attempt On His Life: ‘Their Rhetoric is Causing Me to Be Shot at’
"They use highly inflammatory language," Trump later added. "I can use it too — far better than they can — but I don’t."
Trump pointed to Biden and Harris’ past comments casting Trump as a “threat to democracy,” while telling Americans they are “unity” leaders.
“They are the opposite,” Trump said. “These are people that want to destroy our country.”
The lack of self-awareness is amazing.
You're viewing a single thread.
It's become obvious over time that one of Trump's primary strategies in life is assigning his failures and faults to other people. He lives in a sort of permanent fog of projection.
I wonder who he's trying to fool though. It's so constant and seemingly effortless that I suspect that it's really mostly for his own benefit - that it's not just the story he's telling other people, but the story he's telling himself.
This is called narcissism, he is just a narcissist with a hard-on for himself and unfortunate access to widespread attention
Same people he has been fooling for years. The fanatical MAGA believers and everyone on the right who subscribes to the whole, "If it doesn't fit my narrative, it is fake news."
"Strategy" implies he actually thinks about it. I think it's just a reflex; fault belongs elsewhere, always. The man is incapable of critical thought, especially inward.
True, and I indeed should have said "reflex" instead.
His extreme narcissism means that he is mentally incapable of seeing himself as anything other than the most perfect example of trump, and everyone else is either an extension of him (his direct family) or they're just things to be exploited.
Or they're something that is trying to stand in his way and interfere with him.
Does have some DARVO flavoring to it
