- With Joe Biden out of the race, Donald Trump has become the oldest presidential nominee ever.
- Trump’s now facing off against Kamala Harris, 59, a woman decades younger.
- On Monday, Trump called himself a “fine and brilliant young man” while criticizing Harris.
She raised more money in a single day than Trump, the convicted felon and traitorous, treasonous, lying coward pedophile rapist.
It was her FIRST day, ever, as Presidential candidate.
And it was money raised through small donations. Something like a half million donors were donating for their first time.
Contrast to Trump, who gets an allowance from Elongated Muskrat
Over a million individual donors now, and counting.
That is… well, it sounds remarkable. What are previous figures for candidates?
In 2020, there were only 2 million individual donors, to any candidate or party, for the entire cycle. A million in a weekend is pretty impressive.
Before she’s even the nominee.
Yeah, I mean technically. I dunno, it’s a little bit tough to say that since there’s nobody else in the race (and thus she’s the only one with any momentum at all). She got the nod from the current president and the non-binding support of enough delegates to clinch the nomination. It’s not like there’s a whole lot of doubt that she’s going to be the nominee, unless something unexpected goes down over the next few days.
And to be clear, I don’t think that diminishes how impressive her feat is. I just think it’s more about the fact that she’s managed to reinvigorate the entire political center-left in just a few days, and flip this race from “a 2020 rerun” to “something completely new.”
Yeah that’s fair. I just wish they had gotten off their arses and initiated a democratic vote on the matter.
she raised the money as presumptive nominee, even more remarkable
Her first day campaining and apparently she just took the lead over him in the polls.
It was not, since she is not the candidate yet
She is a candidate. She’s not the nominee yet.
You’re a candidate as soon as you announce. There can be dozens or hundreds of candidates. You just don’t get to be on the ticket until you’re nominated by your party.
I’m a candidate.
I’ve raised about three fifty.
Better not tell Nessie.
Hey Its Me Ur Loch Ness Monster
She’s not a candidate?
Not officially yet.
Candidate, not nominee.
What is she, then, “officially”?
The Vice President?
She is indeed, officially:
“The Biden-Harris campaign on Sunday formally amended filings with the Federal Election Commission to rename its principal committee and declare Kamala Harris a candidate for president.”
If CNN is a problem for you, here’s the FEC filing:
FEC FORM 1 STATEMENT OF ORGANIZATION FILING FEC-1805326 1. Harris for President NOTE:Commmittee Name is different than previously reported PO Box 58174 Philadelphia, PA 19102 Email: fec@joebiden.com 2. Date: 07/21/2024 3.

She is a candidate.
100%.Undeniable. Irrefutable.
Sounds exactly like something a senile old man would say.
He’s probably a man, in at least one sense of the word. That’s about it.
He’s not so much a man as a list of character flaws
Somebody call the burn unit!
“Behold a man” said Diogenes to Plato as he threw Donald Trump into Platos school. “The fuck it is” responded Plato calmly.
Imaging trump with all his hair plucked out, squawking around a bunch of philosophers is pretty entertaining.
Well its more like Plato would rip off his toga and full on chuck Trump out of his school. Reminder Plato isnt his proper name, we lost it but we do know his wrestling title. Broad or in ancient Hellenic Plato.
He’s more boy than man, if we’re talking maturity
“And” was used correctly as well.
In boolean logic, both inputs would have had to be true.
(Tiny) Mushroom maketh man I suppose
Well, his mind is young. He speaks like 10 year old.
This is insulting to 10 year olds.
My apologies to 10 year olds 😔
Emotionally, he’s about three. Aware of other people, but how they feel is of no account whatsoever to him. Lashes out at people for disagreeing. Lies to get his own way with no real remorse, but hates being found out and says it isn’t fair with no understanding of what fair really means. Hasn’t learned to share. Makes and breaks friends for very superficial reasons. Hasn’t learned the long term benefits of friendship and looking after others. Doesn’t like being held accountable and thinks that’s unfair. Calls people names.
Why, yes, he is a very special boy!
Don’t flatter him
Baby Brained, because he’s so young and he learn so good.
Kamala is 60? Wow, she looks 45 at most.
I’d offer up a “Black don’t crack” but I think all the time about what 8 years in office did to Obama. They must have a hyperbaric time chamber attached to the Oval office.
Yeah, my husband and I both guessed early 40s before looking it up. I’m sure some of that is down to money and excellent healthcare access, but damn.
She’ll need it. This job ages you.
Only if you actually do it. Trump got aged by drugs and hamberders.
Na, she’ll be 47 in January.
You might want to check that again. She’ll be 60 in October.
Edit: Yup. That one sailed so far over head, I didn’t even hear the woosh as it went past.
Woosh. She will be 60 in October, but 47 in January, just like Biden turned 46 back in January of 2021.
Young? Harris was born in 1964. The same year that Cadet Bone-spurs turned 18 and got his first deferment to avoid the draft.
Trump looking in the mirror:
Why does he just see a giant pair of floating hands?
Wouldn’t he be able to see the suit as well?
Kamala fucking with Trump subliminally:
Image: Kamala smiling with hands outstretched, palms out-- showing off her totally normal-sized hands.
Kamala, her hands outstretched.
Donny, when his mind was fogged.
If you’re curious how they achieved this then there’s a BTS
Not fine.
Not brilliant.
Not young.
Depending on the definition of “Man”, not one of those either.He identified as a man and his chosen pronouns are he/him. The right love it when we clarify this.
Yeah but gender/sex aside, the term “be a man” or “man up” can also mean to not be a coward or a weakling. He has yet to not be a cowardly weakling- so by that definition, not a man.
Eh. Let’s not gatekeep what being a man is. :p
Convicted Criminal and Sex Offender Treason Trump is always the exact opposite of what he calls himself.
“very stable genius”? Nope. Deranged idiot.
Dementia Don the racist rapist with 34 felonies doesn’t even realize he’s too old. He can’t even complete a coherent sentence. He should drop out, it’s just embarrassing.
Leave it to Trump to try and suggest that 79 is “young”, rather than play up the wisdom and experience angle. I’m not sure how anyone can support a leader who consistantly denies objective reality in the name of fluffing his ego. But there are a lot of reasons to deny Trump the presidency long before something as relatively small as his hubris. Well, small relative to being a known rapist and convicted felon, anyway.
Let me guess, they plan to push retirement age to 90 or later? Full retirement age for Social Security starts at 67 (since 1960).
Trump playing ‘the wisdom and experience angle’ seems like a great strategy. I wish he goes for it!
More proof of his mental decline, likely dementia.
Many are people are saying he should just step down now and stop embarrassing himself.
Being his campaign managers/operatives must be tricky.
They have to feed his ego. Coming out and acknowledging his age is just not an option, and they can’t straight up tell him “you cannot get on a stage with Harris because you will inevitably say something bad that hurts your campaign.”
They have to do all that while wondering if he’s even going to pay them lol
LOL I’m pretty sure his sycophants gave up on trying to coach him many years ago
fine and brilliant young man
Are you sure he was referencing himself? None of those words describe Trump.
I do find that I use the word “and” a lot when Referencing Trump.
If this young man expresses himself in terms too fine for me, why what a singularly fine young man this fine young man must be!
Dude is running for president and doesn’t even know how to spell “poll”
