He says this kind of crap literally every day. Didn't he say Harris voters would be in danger like, literally yesterday? It's not "stunning" anyone anymore, we're just supposed to act like people in power actually care that he's a xenophobic, narcissistic fascist. Headlines like this are supposed to comfort us into believing that those with power are actually stunned or upset by what he said. Every day? For eight+ years? Get the fuck out of here.
Won't someone please think of our leaders' pearls.
It's better to have it reported than for us all to be normalized to a potential president wholeheartedly adopting fascist language.
It'd be better if a pearl clutcher passed a law or something, but with half of them frothing at the chance to turn on their own constituents...
Reporting on it just fans the flames, generates the drama he needs to stay at the forefront of the news cycle. Can Harris generate that kind of chatter with sensible talk about realistic proposals? This dispirits Dem voters, while emboldening his base who laugh behind their hand at Trump's boorish political incorrectness. Jester's Privilege. He has never suffered any consequences for anything he's said.
