Trump claims Democratic "coup" as Harris leads in crucial states and secures key GOP endorsements.
Former President Donald Trump has denounced Vice President Kamala Harris' nomination as the Democratic presidential candidate as "not fair," escalating his rhetoric as new polls show Harris gaining substantial ground in key battleground states.
In a fiery statement on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump accused the Democratic Party of staging "the first ever 'Coup' in America."
His outburst comes in the wake of President Joe Biden's unexpected withdrawal from the 2024 race, which paved the way for Harris to become the Democratic nominee.

He just can't get over Biden not running anymore because his entire campaign strategy has been look how old and frail Biden is. Without that comparison people see how low energy he is and the very real signs of dementia. I wonder if the rumor is true and he will replace his campaign strategists this close to the election.

He already did the shakeup; it wasn't covered well. No one was kicked out, but less than a week ago he brought Corey Lewandowski back to oversee the campaign managers.
Now that Elon has made Grok 2 available, Donald has been posting absolutely pathetic AI renders between bouts of dementia. That's the energy. A pathetic loser bully fantasizing that the world likes him.
"It's not fair that we were too stupid to withhold all of our insulting bullshit and propaganda merch we spent a ton of time and money on BEFORE Joe Biden was the actual nominated candidate, so now we're going to kick and scream about it because I'm pissy widdle baby."
He’s such a damn cry baby. I’m astonished at the cognitive dissonance involved for his idiot cult who admires his “tough guy persona” to see past the incessant whining.
I mean, look at it from his perspective. He pretty much had the election, which would save him from all the prosecutions etc. Now he has nothing, he can't find and learn all new talking points against Kamala in time for the election. If he doesn't get a miracle, he's fucked.
Him winning involves taking a lot of swing states, most of which are traditionally red. This election is far over and every vote needs to be cast to defeat his worthless draft dodging ass and send him and his family to prison
Dementia DonOLD the weird racist rapist with 34 felonies is the biggest snowflake.
It's unfair that this piece of shit wasn't hanged for treason, or rotting in a jail cell for getting people killed from his insurrection, or for being a fucking rapist.
I am just thankful for his felonies. Removes all legal right he has to military funeral honors. He will likely still get them, but as a deployed veteran it warms my heart knowing they won’t be “real”.
Dude absolutely just likes how buzzy the word coup is. Like, saying it's not fair is one thing, even though it very clearly is. And even suggesting it should be against the rules is a valid opinion, even if it's not based on facts.
But calling it a coup, not even an attempt at a coup, is silly. Even if she used a private army to storm the DNC to secure the nomination, it's not a coup until she gets inaugurated.
You're also seeing him use the word cheater recently. I noticed it front and center when he was trying to say that Harris' rally audience was AI generated and called her a cheater... guess what he's going to say come election time?
It's just a key part of the DARVO thing. They accuse the opposition of whatever they are getting accused of. Russia was accused of trying to interfere with the election on his behalf? Now everything is "election interference". People complain about Trump's criminal cases? Keep talking about the "Biden crime family", without evidence, as if it's a real thing. And after they tried and failed on Jan 6 to stage a coup, now everything they don't like is a "coup".
It's also the reason why "every accusation is a confession" with Republicans. If they come out with a bullshit accusation out of nowhere and start pushing it without evidence, you know its because they've either done the thing or are thinking about doing it.
After this latest round of bogus SC rulings, there was a lot of introspection into how the Court got this way. Someone pointed out that there was a book written during the Obama years accusing Democrats of undermining the Federal Judiciary to subert the rule of law -- and the process in the book exactly matched what Trump and McConnell did. They wrote it out in plain sight -- but since it was written as a baseless accusation, nobody paid attention.
The Wilmington insurrection of 1898, also known as the Wilmington massacre of 1898 or the Wilmington coup of 1898,[6] was a coup d'état and a massacre which was carried out by white supremacists in Wilmington, North Carolina, United States, on Thursday, November 10, 1898.[7] The white press in Wilmington originally described the event as a race riot caused by black people. In later study from the 20th century onward, the event has been characterized as a violent overthrow of a duly elected government by a group of white supremacists.[8][9]
The Republicans who thrive on a cult of personality cannot fathom the idea of putting country or party above yourself. If they had tried to do the same thing at any stage of the campaign Trump would have doubled down and if they had got him out the Republican party would have fractured into camps biting at spitting at one another and ensuring that none of them could possibly win.
He then shared particular frustration with the sudden change in his opponent, suggesting that the Democrats had orchestrated Biden's withdrawal to improve their chances.
Gosh, I don't think anyone else has figured that out! This guy is hella smart.
It really wasn't, was it? I wish I had the mental space to be concerned about that. Unfortunately I am instead worrying about insurrectionists staging a second coup attempt.
A new Remington Research Group (R) poll in Nebraska’s 2nd congressional district shows Kamala Harris leads Donald Trump in the district, 50% to 42%.
Jane Kleeb, the chair of the Nebraska Democratic Party, said she had seen at least one other poll recently that indicated Harris was leading outside of the margin of error.
Nebraska divides its electoral college votes by congressional district. The second district is “where all the people are,” and so traditionally votes blue.
I'm not from the US or in the US, but even as an impartial external observer with no horse in the game I do enjoy the recent republican panicked whining...
i can just imagine the orange turd sitting in a shack in nowwhere florida with 'laces out' 'election interference' written over every surface as he mutters to himself
Let me get this straight: Trump thinks that the Democratic Party selecting their presumptive nominee a month before the convention is "election interference" and "the first ever coup in America"? Fucking how?
He thinks that he has to campaign against both Kamala Harris and Joe Biden at the same time now? What makes him think he needs to campaign against Joe?
He thinks this is "not fair" that Kamala is now the nominee, but he also thinks "she should be easier than [?] to beat than Crooked Joe"? Who exactly does he think this is unfair for? Kamala?
