From the very first days of his presidency, Donald Trump and his minions were using “alternative facts” to massively inflate the size of his crowds. So, as Jon Stewart pointed out on the latest episode of his Weekly Show podcast, the huge numbers of supporters turning out to see Vice President Kamala Harris on the campaign trail this week must be driving him mad.
“Kamala Harris is now a freight train,” Stewart said at the top of the show before bringing up the star-studded Atlanta rally this week. “Holy shit!”
“It’s the one thing I think that would, more than any policy or any discrepancy on economics or anything else, the thing that would bother Donald Trump the most is a giant arena filled with enthusiastic supporters having a party,” he continued. “I almost think he’d be like, ‘What?! Popularity is my thing!’”
