Hey Donold, what happened to the mug shot? The swag about being indicted?

Oh, the irony. Trump faced charges from a Black female AG and lost, awaits sentencing from a male Latino judge, and faced more charges from a Black female DA.

Then he got a break when the SC gave him complete immunity for "official acts" as president, which delayed cases indefinitely over deciding which cases involved official acts. Then another break when the documents case was dismissed. How lucky could a man get? Freed up from his woes, ready to campaign and never face Black prosecutors again.

And then - OMG! A Black female prosecutor is his campaign opponent.

Sounds like a Hollywood comedy script. Or a horror movie if you are Trump.

Brag about being indicted, claim that it was Biden behind it all, and tell voters that it was political persecution by his opponent. Ridicule Biden's age and play the victim who was heroically standing up to persecution on behalf of "the people."

Then the entire ground falls out from under him when he faces a younger opponent who is experienced at dealing with criminals and how they operate.

He looks tired enough, but more from the stress of being exposed as the loser that he is.

His kryptonite is confident successful women. Both Pelosi and Harris frighten him.

As a prosecutor, many of those she was prosecuting were criminal sociopaths. And narcissists.

She had to keep them under control and in check as the investigation and trial took place.

She is mentally and physically healthy, intelligent, positive, genuine, and has the confidence of her own solid identity rooted in knowing herself and her values.

Trump is mentally and physically unwell, intellectually stunted, negative, phony, and so insecure that he creates images of himself to project to the world but has no real self underneath it all.

I can't imagine any two people as totally opposite as Harris and Trump.
