'Macho victim' Trump freaks out after being panned by 'whacko' NYT's columnist

When Donald Trump announced his 2024 comeback attempt at Mar-a-Lago, he complained about being a victim, but that same description in The New York Times appeared to enrage the former president.

Columnist Maureen Dowd wrote about the victimization claim under the headline, "Trump, Macho Macho Victim."

"In a Maryland suburb I covered long ago, a fire chief and his deputy were accused of arson. 'Firefighter arson' is actually a term, with its own Wikipedia entry, because it happens more often than you might think," Dowd wrote. "That’s what Trump sounded like, in his announcement speech, when he said he would 'bring back honesty, confidence, and trust in our elections.' The arsonist seeking a job as a firefighter. He is the liar and con man who undermined confidence in our elections. All that baloney about rigged voting has only hurt Republican participation and swung independents and even some Republicans who were sick of Trump to Democrats. But he doesn’t care, so long as he can deflect the blame for his loss. 'As I have said before, the gravest threats to our civilization are not from abroad, but from within,' Trump said at his flaccid, whiny announcement Tuesday night at Mar-a-Lago."

Dowd mentioned the gay anthem "Macho Man" by the Village People that Trump plays to warm up the crowds at his rallies.
