Kurt Eichenwald: I love that Joe keeps using Trump trigger words...





I love that @joebiden keeps using Trump trigger words....in this case, “weak” and “scared.” You have no idea how much that destabilizes Trump.

Now Joe has to figure out how to use the big Trump trigger words: “Loser,” “failure,” and “Your daddy never loved you, Donald.”

That should drive Trump more batshit than he is, and produce the moments that we saw in Trump’s press conference today.

a new asshole while he is at 35k feet.

Then when he lands all the questions for him would be about what Biden just said. Or he would be getting briefed in the air and having to address it as he comes down the ramp. The ramp to hell let's hope.

Force him into answering questions as soon as he lands or before. I want them to get under his thin skin and humiliate him.

As Americans, I’m confident we believe in honesty and decency, treating everyone with dignity and respect, giving everyone a fair shot, leaving no one behind, giving hate no safe harbor, and demonizing no one. We, up to now, always recognize there’s something bigger than ourselves, that’s what we’re about...

Be not afraid, be not afraid. Fear never builds the future, but hope does. And building the future is what America does, what we’ve always done. In fact, it’s what we have done best and continue to do best. This is the United States of America. There’s not a single thing beyond our capacity when we decide to do it together. So let’s get together...

He does not call names like trump calls people names.

It pisses trump off to see someone not being childish while bashing him at the same time.

Wouldn’t it be weird (i.e., typical of him) if that incident were the reason he’s so vain about his hair?

Remember Trump's phobia of germs. Might have to put them in tweets, though, since Fox and OANN may not show the parts of speeches with those words in, knowing how much it would upset Donald.

psychologists and psychiatrists volunteering to pin point the tRUMP trigger points. If there are debates Biden's prep will for sure include extra time and work perfecting terms to drive tRUMP madder then he already is.... for that I would watch.
