The most damning part for his followers will be Trump not being who he said he is: instead a loser

He is not really their better, a superior being who loves their pathetic worship, but really an incompetent loser whose businesses were bleeding millions for years. This is a key component of his teflon. People forgive their perceived betters (think lords or leaders) any transgression.

It's not only that he has a huge personal debt of greater than $400M that he probably can't pay. It's what it tells them about the man: he is not competent-- can't plan, not a financial wizard. No wonder Covid-19 overran the country. No wonder the economy crashed (negative GDP means recession), and no wonder so many Americans died needlessly.

Trump is weak because he is incompetent-- that will lose him a few followers no doubt. Trump being superior to them is one thing that motivates some very strongly-- think a hierarchy with Trump on top. This destroys some of the narrative, It will eat away at the edges of their consciousness, and doubt will finally be created. For example, the pieces will fit together for them such as why he isn't financing his campaign now that there is a shortfall-- he doesn't have money.


Most of his other scandals contained elements that some of his "deplorable" supporters (mostly uneducated white males) could actually admire because they point to a "superior" male in their crude thinking: like sex with a porn star despite being married or a celebrity grabbing kitties. Moreover, he wasn't nobly sacrificing big bucks he normally made to help the common men of the rust belt-- the new narrative is that he was running as fast as he could from debt collectors who were anxious to collect ASAP. The tax leaks portray an inferior man, a loser in Trump's parlance-- true he managed to get away with playing games with his taxes so far, but that is as far as any potential positive will go, the negative reality of being an incompetent, a loser, far outweighs this.

The lesson here is to call Trump a loser, an incompetent because it will stick with some of his soon to be former fans and perhaps keep them home on election day.

1. They're too stupid to care. They are beyond hope.

[Quixote1818]

2. I agree. This is the angle that will most get under his skin and his followers skin. nt

3. As the old saying goes...

Trump is a poor man's idea of a rich man, a weak man's idea of a strong man, and a stupid man's idea of a smart man.

Anything that punctures that illusion is going to cost him.

[andym]

4. That is why he was so against releasing his taxes

It destroys his narrative.

5. They are angry at us . I think most knew a lot of truth about Trump but don't want to face it

They want to go on feeling he is all the shit he claims to be .

And they NEED to believe he is better than the black guy who was president before him. And that things were horrible under that black guy but more things are great under the superior Trump.

6. No wonder we have a $3.3 trillion federal budget deficit this year.

He ran the country like one of his businesses.

[andym]

7. Exactly so.

Everything will fits together now for some of them.

9. Navigating complex bankrupsies was a way of life for citizen Trump.

I'm sure he retained much of his business philosophies when he became President Trump.

He thought he could do a deal with Mueller!

[Earthshine2]

8. I'm sure a lot of them know he is a liar and generalized asshole.

But, he is THEIR asshole.

As long as he is denigrating liberals, progressives, socialists, and Democrats, they will be with him.

Their hate is stronger than anything they love.

They have been brainwashed by Fox news and conservative talk radio into focusing their inner loathings and frustrations at us.

We are scapegoats.

They can't face it that the ones they really hate are themselves, because they didn't make better lives for themselves.

[andym]

10. But being a loser will peel some away

Of course they still will hate liberals etc-- they've been brainwashed after all, but they will want a superior man, not a loser to lead the way.

[Earthshine2]

11. And we only need to peel off some of them to ensure electoral victory.

The deplorables aren't going away. They will be a big pain in Biden's ass.

Because they associate masks with liberal weakness, the deplorables will ensure that COVID stays around for a long time.

[andym]

12. Not only will his fans be a pain (no matter whether they abandon Trump or not)

but they are potential victims of a smarter Trump-like figure who could use them to achieve malevolent anti-democratic ends.

[Thekaspervote]

13. Absolutely! If there's one thing he or his cult cannot stomach...it's a loser

We need to post and repost what a loser trump is..here and other social media platforms

[andym]

14. Yes absolutely-- he needs to be called out as the loser he is on Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit

and in public. You are absolutely correct.

[TheBlackAdder]

15. Batman has the Bat Light and Bat Phone. We need to get a Loser horn to call a Trump.

.




They're kind of stupid so it might take a while for them to come.

16. Would be great to have some ads with Trump and the "Loser horn"

Funny and effective.
