People cheer as Vice President Kamala Harris speaks during the fourth day of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) at the United Center in Chicago on August 22, 2024. | Source: The Washington Post / Getty
On Thursday night, the final night of the Democratic National Convention, Vice President Kamala Harris officially accepted the Democratic nomination for president. She gave a really good speech. It was fiery. It inspiring. It painted a positive view of the nation, which stood in stark contrast to the abysmal dystopian nightmare the MAGA campaign has tried its hardest to paint America as under the Beiden/Harris administration.
Harris’ speech also gave insight into her plans for the nation should she be elected its commander-in-chief.
It called out the web of easily disprovable lies the MAGA GOP has been spreading since its messiah lost his bid for reelection in 2020. Her speech was fierce; it exuded confidence and hopefulness; it was a breath of fresh air for millions of Americans…
And it might have finally broken Donald Trump.

That’s right, y’all—Harris gave the convention speech members of both parties likely expected her to give, and Trump responded in a way that was equally unsurprising: he rage-posted on his Truth Social platform nearly 50 separate times.
Donnie went into total meltdown during the VP's speech, with 48 posts on Truth Social, just ranting & lying in total panic. Weird & impressive he managed that level of hysteria without having a stroke! pic.twitter.com/GVtJnJFqNE

Trump started his war on people who hate obnoxious and grammar-defying tweets in rapid-fire mode by posting literally every couple of minutes during Harris’ time on stage.
“Too many ‘Thank yous,’ too rapidly said, what’s going on with her?” Trump asked his followers in one of his earliest tweets, because, hell, I don’t know, something about Harris’ alarming show of—*checks notes*—gratitude really grinds his gears.
He is seething

Trump then proceeded to rant like the old, homely guy on the subway who everyone leaves to sit in his own section as he claimed Harris “will take us into a Nuclear World War III” and that she “HAS LED US INTO FAILING NATION STATUS.” He outdid his ridiculous complaint about how she said “thank you” too often by going on to criticize Harris for talking about her childhood too much. It was also suddenly important for his followers to know that Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz “was an ASSISTANT Coach, not a COACH.”
Trump also pretended to be surprised that Harris was saying negative things about him on a stage where she was obviously expected to do just that.
“IS SHE TALKING ABOUT ME?” he asked rhetorically. (At least I think it was rhetorical. I suppose we can’t rule out the possibility that Trump’s cognitive decline caused him to completely forget who was president before Joe Biden.)
Walz was an ASSISTANT Coach, not a COACH.

She in fact did not say that.

For some reason, Trump was also very conserved about the whereabouts of the Biden family while Harris was on stage.
WHERE’S HUNTER?

When Harris’ told the truth about Trump and the Supreme Court’s war on women’s reproductive rights, Trump responded by reminding us he doesn’t know things, posting that “Everybody, Democrats, Republicans, Liberals, and Conservatives, wanted Roe v. Wade TERMINATED, and brought back to the States.”
In fact, virtually every recent study on American’s positions on abortion shows that more than half of Americans are pro-choice, including well over 60% of women of all economic backgrounds, and that the percentage of Americans who believe abortion should be legal in all or most circumstances has done virtually nothing but rise over the last three decades. In a Gallup poll published in June 2023, one year after Roe v. Wade was overturned, 61% of respondents said overturning Roe was a “bad thing.”
Holy crap. Trump called into Fox News just now, all flustered and pushing buttons on his phone after Kamala Harris’ speech.
Fox Hosts then had to cut him off. pic.twitter.com/csDl3Q50fg

Trump got his feelings audibly hurt when MacCallum said of Harris: “Let me ask you this, Sir. There has been a huge appeal and momentum for women voters. She’s trying to pull the youth vote, the Hispanic vote, the Black vote back in her direction. Polls show that she’s having some success in that at this point, so what are you gonna do? What’s your strategy to rebuild the momentum that you had with those voters?”
“No, she’s not having success. I’m having success,” Trump exclaimed, sounding like a child who wants his own presents at another kid’s birthday party. “I’m doing great with the Hispanic voters. I’m doing great with Black men. I’m doing great with women because women want safety, they want safety, and they don’t have safety when they have somebody allowing 20 million people into our country, many of them very dangerous people.”
“No, it’s only in your eyes that they have that, Martha,” Don the Delulu continued. “We’re doing very well in the polls, we’re leading in most of the polls, and in the swing states, we’re leading in almost every one of them.”
Just as crime data shows there has been no surge in crime in America at all, let alone a surge that can be attributed to undocumented migrants, all polling data shows the presidential race is tight, and most national polls have Harris narrowly leading Trump.
Anyway, Trump’s impromptu interview with Baier and MacCallum didn’t last long, because, you know, they were still covering the convention. Also, folks on X noted that Trump appeared to be pressing buttons on his own phone causing audio issues during the call that nobody even asked for. (Oh yeah, that man was in a tizzy for real.)
The highlight was… THEY CUT TRUMP OFF! @BretBaier and Martha McCallum kept awkwardly thanking him, and then Fox News just switched to Gutfeld. Epic! Hey Donald, get used to it! pic.twitter.com/bw87F9yjhQ

Trump is calling into Fox, lying, saying Harris is "going to give a tax increase of 4 to 5 times what people and companies are paying right now," and he seems to be accidentally pressing buttons on his phone while he speaks pic.twitter.com/5Wb4qSZ3C5

After that, Trump took his Karen-esque “I need to speak to everyone’s manager” campaign to another network and dialed up Newsmax so he could rant to Greg Kelly about Harris’ speech.
Trump’s lack of self-awareness is always a source of pure comedy, and now we’re being entertained while he remains oblivious to how all of these desperate phone calls and compulsive tweeting make him look weak, terrified and like his ego has been thoroughly devastated.
