If there is one thing that Donald Trump has become notorious for (other than lying, hate speech, porn stars, etc.), it's his MAGA-ified ego that consumes the vast majority of his badly crippled consciousness. Whenever Trump speaks there is a better than 99% chance that he's talking about himself or whining about someone or something that he believes is disparaging of him.

Being a malignant narcissist is a full time job. And among the duties are showing petulant outrage at any and every slight, no matter how petty or tangential. That's why Trump spends so much time and energy attempting to ridicule his perceived enemies with infantile nicknames and asinine attacks for things that never actually happened. It's ironic that he tries to use humor when he himself has no sense of it.

Given Trump's background as a reality TV game show host, he remains inordinately obsessed with ratings and reviews. If he doesn't have the highest ratings, the biggest crowds, and the most devoted disciples, he is inconsolable. Consequently, he must be fuming over the news that President Biden, who is no longer running against him, is still beating him.
Biden's Oval Office address on Wednesday evening drew an audience of nearly 29 million viewers. That's 16% more than the 25 million that Trump had for his big nomination acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention a few days before.
So Trump's most highly anticipated speech of the year - that was poorly received and went on for an interminable 96 minutes - scored far lower than Biden's brief, impromptu remarks explaining his passing of the torch to Vice-President Kamala Harris, which had already been reported.

Trump is clearly troubled by his poor performance on television, particularly because he was beaten by his nemesis, Joe Biden, a man he regards as a senile communist. On his floundering social media scam, Truth Social, Trump posted his predictably scathing review of Biden's speech, along with his pathetic and desperate denigration of Harris...
"Crooked Joe Biden’s Oval Office speech was barely understandable, and sooo bad!" [...and...] "We’re not ready for a Marxist President, and Lyin’ Kamala Harris is a RADICAL LEFT MARXIST, AND WORSE!'
Notice that Trump provided no coherent analysis of either Biden's remarks or Harris' politics. He merely lashed out impotently with childish insults. Which is totally in character for Trump. He couldn't put together thirty seconds of a substantive critique without diverting to electrified sharks or Hannibal Lecter.
Yet somehow the Republican Party is still all-in on their nominee, who is a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, financial fraudster, and aspiring dictator and/or messiah. This says so much about what was once called the "Grand Old Party" (GOP), but which is now neither grand, nor a party. All it is today is a cult led by an old and feeble-minded clown who is still losing to an opponent who is no longer in the race. If schadenfreude were a meal, Trump is catering a feast.
