Too many, in fact, to itemize. And all of them are based on delusions that emanate from his deeply disturbed and profoundly paranoid psyche. His bottomless reservoir of wrath is manifested in his daily &#8211; even hourly &#8211; hysterics over whatever perceived atrocity has befallen him at that moment in time. And his tantrums unfurl despite the harm they do to his own interests.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=62885\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">SMART POLITICS? As Election Day Nears Trump Reminds America of His Sexual Assault Judgment<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Sunday morning Trump unleashed another rage-filled rant on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=62757\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">his failing social media scam, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>. And true to form, it embodied the unbridled fury of a severely dysfunctional psychotic. In a tedious recital of his paranoid symptoms, Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/113102328180149297\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">babbled<\/a> in part that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Comrade Kamala Harris &#8216;is completely hiding from the press.&#8217; [&#8230;] The last thing we need for our Nation in Decline is another President who is not smart enough to answer reporters questions. We just went through that, and we don\u2019t want to do it again!&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>First of all, Trump&#8217;s charge that Kamala Harris is <em>&#8220;completely hiding from the press&#8221;<\/em> is a bald-faced lie. She just had a nationally televised interview with CNN&#8217;s Dana Bash. And she frequently takes questions from reporters informally at campaign stops. That said, she has no obligation to fulfill some arbitrary quota for press avails. Especially when the press is so blatantly hostile to her, while simultaneously <em>&#8220;sane-washing&#8221;<\/em> Trump&#8217;s obviously incoherent public ramblings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=62840\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fox News is Desperately Struggling to Find Dirt on Kamala Harris \u2013 Here is What They Found<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>However, Trump should get credit when credit is due. And his assessment of the importance of having a president who is <em>&#8220;smart enough to answer reporters questions&#8221;<\/em> could not be more relevant as this campaign season progresses.<\/p>\n<p>In that regard, Harris has proven to be extraordinarily well informed and insightful when being asked candidly for her opinions. Trump, on the other hand, has shown himself to be astonishingly ignorant and unconcerned with those pesky little things we all know as facts.<\/p>\n<p>Trump may answer reporters&#8217; questions from time to time, but only those <em>&#8220;reporters&#8221;<\/em> who are unambiguously Trump-fluffing sycophants, like those on Fox News. He will never sit down with a legitimate journalist who could challenge his free-flowing torrent of lies. And even when he does reply to his pre-approved MAGA hacks, his answers are devoid of any relationship with reality. For instance, Trump has recently been asked questions for which he offered mostly indecipherable replies that did nothing but affirm his ignorance on the subjects queried&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Child Care:<\/strong> That he said could be paid for by tariffs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tariffs:<\/strong> That he said are paid by the countries on whom they are imposed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Immigration:<\/strong> That he said is increasing and filled with criminals and mental patients.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Election Fraud:<\/strong> That he is still claiming occurred in 2020.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Economy:<\/strong> That he said is crashing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Abortion:<\/strong> That he says occurs even after a baby is born.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On every single one of those matters Trump is wrong on (in his lingo) <em>&#8220;levels never seen before.&#8221;<\/em> With this degree of dishonesty and\/or stupidity, it makes the question of whether or not to answer reporters&#8217; questions irrelevant. Why bother if he&#8217;s going to be spewing such flaming falsehoods without any pushback by the reporters?<\/p>\n<p>So Trump is right. America doesn&#8217;t need a president who isn&#8217;t smart enough to answer reporters&#8217; questions. Therefore, America doesn&#8217;t need Trump. It needs Kamala Harris, who has demonstrated that she has the intellect and the compassion to lead the nation and to eloquently articulate how she plans to move the country forward. If Trump really believed what he is saying about this, he would drop out of the race today. But he isn&#8217;t even smart enough to do that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=62894\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Praises Pitiful \u2018MAGA People Outside Screaming\u2019 at Kamala Harris as She Preps for Debate<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=62879\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">HOLY CR&#038;P: Trump\u2019s Rambling, Incoherent Plan to Make Child Care Affordable is Utterly Deranged<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=62773\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Putting Trump\u2019s Polling Delusions in Perspective \u2013 It\u2019s Even Worse than He Thinks<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/newscorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@newscorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anyone who has been paying attention to Donald Trump for the last few years knows that he is in perpetual state of outrage.
