The inbred hostility that is such a core part of Donald Trump’s cretinous character (or lack thereof) has long been offensive to most Americans. They regard his infantile nicknames and seething hate speech as emblematic of a person with an acute case of malignant narcissism or some other severe personality disorder.

In recent weeks the Trump team, and some gullible pundits, have been suggesting that his brush with “ear” death might have made him more empathetic and sensitive to others. That assessment, however, was debunked by Trump himself who told the audience at one of his cult rallies that “They all say ‘I think he’s changed since two weeks ago. Something affected him.’ No, I haven’t changed. Maybe I’ve gotten worse.” And on that point he’s actually right, for once.

Trump’s compulsive repulsiveness is evident in nearly every public comment he utters or posts online. And now that Kamala Harris is the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party for president, Trump is setting his surly sights on her. Among the empty epithets he has unleashed are that Harris is “dumb as a rock” and “a low IQ individual” and “a DEI hire.” All of which are thinly veiled racism that doesn’t come close to being a substantive criticism of her policies or her record.
Most of the American people can easily recognize Trump’s hollow and impotent efforts to slander Harris. But he is generally defended by his sycophants on MAGA media such as Fox News. However, it appears that he may have gone too far for even some of them to fall in line. On Fox’s business network Monday morning, host Stuart Varney was interviewing Republican congressman Burgess Owens of Utah when he sought to get his opinion about Trump’s taunts…
“This is anecdotal, but I’ve been hearing a lot from women. They are not happy with what Trump has been saying and some of the language that he’s using about Kamala Harris. It’s insulting. Should he tone down his language?”
Owens went on robo-reply, attempting to ignore the question and divert to his criticisms of Democrats. But Varney wasn’t having it, He interrupted saying that…
“I’ve been out and about over the weekend. And when Donald Trump called Kamala Harris ‘dumb,’ that was a profound mistake, in my opinion. Women react to that kind of thing, and so they should. I mean, don’t you think you should tone down the language?”
Trump's only response to the surging campaign of Kamala Harris is to make more of his infantile insults. And even this Fox News host thinks that is a "profound mistake" that is alienating women.pic.twitter.com/2xXM6JCrvx

Whereupon, Owens essentially gave up and replied that “Well, what you’re seeing with Donald Trump, he is who he is. He’s a fighter.” Which neither answers the question, nor describes Trump, who is actually better described as a whiner.
The problem for Trump and the Republican Party is that Varney is right. Trump’s abusive rhetoric will only serve to alienate women, who are familiar with, and tired of, these sort of put downs. And they don’t score any better with most men who don’t want their wives, mothers, sisters, or daughters treated with such open disdain.
Despite the obvious contempt that Trump displays toward women, and the piling on by his equally contemptuous VP pick, JD Vance, he will continue to be the malicious misogynist that he has always been. He can’t help it. And it will serve him right when his former fluffers, like Varney, fall off the bus before they get run over by it, and when women lead the electorate to his eventual defeat in November.

The old guard GOP made a colossal mistake in 2016 when the did not tell tRump to take a hike! They continue the same mistake by not telling him to go home, and leave us alone. tRump just keeps on showing us how very stupid he is with all his infantile name-calling! Now he is trying to find a way to weasel out of a debate with Kamala Harris. This is, perhaps because he knows, or has been told, that she will make mincemeat out of him!
Trumpler and his Repugnican sycophants have done a superb job of alienating women, with the dismantling of reproductive rights their crowning achievement. Toning down their rhetoric now will do nothing to lessen that alienation. It would be a smart thing to do, but smart has never been Trump’s defining character. Au contraire. And now that the women of America have one of their own as their standard bearer, they will bury Trump and Trumpism under a landslide of votes in November.
