His interview with influencer Adin Ross earlier this week is part of a broader effort to answer Kamala Harrisā€™s nomination with an unabashed courtship of too-online misogynists.

UFC head Dana White, theĀ wife beater, is ā€œa fighter.ā€ North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un is ā€œvery tough,ā€ while Chinaā€™s Xi Jinping is ā€œstrong.ā€ Elon Musk, the transphobe who has turned X into a megaphone for bigotry, is a ā€œgenius.ā€ So said Donald Trump during his 75-minute livestreamedĀ interviewĀ with Adin Ross, the 23-year-old gamer and influencer.

The adjectives and verbs for all of the women they discussed were very different. Kamala Harris was said to be ā€œweakā€ and ā€œstupid,ā€ Nancy Pelosi and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez were ā€œcrazy,ā€ and AOC was described as ā€œrantingā€ and ā€œscreaming.ā€ And, of course, there was that appellation Trump applies to every womanā€”most famously to Hillary Clinton in theirĀ final debateĀ in 2016ā€”who doesnā€™t supplicate herself before him: ā€œnasty.ā€

In other words, the interview was vintage Trumpā€”the latest of a million-plus examples proving that, no matter how many smarmy advisers and gullible political reporters insist otherwise, he is incapable of changing who he is for political expediency. Heā€™s an out-and-proud misogynist who intends to appeal to closeted misogynistsā€”and no one should be happier about that fact than Kamala Harris.

    Watch this, you see others talking about how this guy I guess literally rubs his face into the assholes of other weird, hateful bigots like himself, but more importantly, using this weak person, who is obviously developmentally impaired, as a political prop is clearly abuse. Like Iā€™m fairly sure somebody dresses this kid in the morning and has to wipe for him after he goes to the toilet.
