He’s gotten it into his weirdly colored head to sue CBS for election interference. Such a sad, small, bitter man… [https://www.axios.com/2024/10/31/trump-lawsuit-cbs-news-harris-interview](https://www.axios.com/2024/10/31/trump-lawsuit-cbs-news-harris-interview) > Trump is seeking $10 billion in damages for CBS’s alleged “partisan and unlawful acts of election and voter interference,” which the lawsuit claims were intended to confuse the public and “attempt to tip the scales” toward Democrats in the 2024 presidential election. ---

The projection in this is off the charts. > [@Trump on Truth Social](#): > > On my way to North Carolina to speak to a crowd so large that it goes beyond the beautiful horizon, and this, after a huge Rally in Milwaukee, in the Great State of Wisconsin, last night, in front of over 30,000 American Patriots! Low Energy Democrat Candidate Lyin’ Kamala Harris, was also in Milwaukee yesterday, spending millions of Taxpayer Dollars on the trip, all to speak in front of only 900 people, and most of them were my supporters. They witnessed a person who is totally confused and tired. She is a Low IQ individual, not equipped to be President, and that’s why she can’t draw a crowd. We have people lining up for days, all over our soon to be magnificent Nation. Kamala is slumping to the finish line, yawning, shrieking, and cackling, while I am working 24/7 to win this Election, so we can save our Country and, Make America Great Again! I get that he believes that if he says these things he can manifest his own reality but damn that’s some hardcore delusion. ---

In today’s _Atlantic_ online: > I do not know how to put this gently or tastefully, so I will factually describe what happened last night in Milwaukee: A former president of the United States held a rally, [during which](https://www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump-weirdly-simulates-sex-act-on-microphone-stand/) he used a microphone holder on his podium to pantomime the act of giving fellatio. > > I could have put it differently. I might have said that “a cognitively impaired man, who has long been showing signs of serious emotional instability and has a history of sexism and racism, engaged in crude behavior in front of a large audience.” But that wouldn’t capture an important reality: > > _This deeply impaired man is **tied** in the race to become the next president and could be holding the codes to the U.S. nuclear arsenal in less than three months._ > … The rest of the article is full of crap we already know and have already talked about, but I’m sharing because I was struck by the utter in-your-face [as it were] forthrightness of these opening paragraphs coupled with the mind-boggling word that I bolded.

His microphone was malfunctioning for a moment and that was his reaction. Followed by lots of ranting and blaming everyone around for making him look bad. It was a temper tantrum. And half the country is going to vote for him. Yeah. ---
