Explains why he was so antagonistic toward the ABC reporter at the National Association of Black Journalists. As bad as that makes him look outside of the MAGA bubble, it lets him make the pathetic argument that ABC was mean to him so he won’t go debate there. His fragile little ego is more important to him than winning the election. Good news for democracy lovers.

His behavior during the NABJ interview was classic Donny: a narcissist doing everything he could to deflect and avoid been held to account for his prior words/behavior.

He is the dumbass face of it all, but he serves his purpose for the really smart bastards in the party who know full well what they’re doing when they push his buttons, send him out to rile up his (their) base, and unleash him and them on all of us.
The core of the Republican party isn’t the blustering dumbass out front, it’s the fascism machine at the heart of Project 2025 and all the rest of it pulling his strings. Trump is a useful idiot to very smart people doing very bad things, and we should all be appropriately worried and alert.
