Donald Trump has been throwing a prolonged tantrum, as he struggles to accept that he is no longer running against President Joe Biden.

The former president and convicted felon has become increasingly distressed at the state of his campaign, according to a Washington Post report published Thursday.

As Vice President Kamala Harris has relaunched the Democratic Party’s campaign, Trump saw his fundraising edge dissipate under the shadow of her $310 million influx in July. At the same time, his campaign has struggled to find its footing in the new matchup, leaving some close to the campaign wondering how it was possible they were so ill prepared, according to the *Post. *

After flying so high at the Republican National Convention in July, it seems that Trump has had a hard time adjusting to the fact that his fight is not over.

“It’s unfair that I beat him and now I have to beat her too,” Trump told an ally in a phone call last weekend, according to the Post.

    It’s really telling that trump thinks it’s some sort of competition sport that’s all about him winning. We’re deciding who to hire to do the job. It’s not the Olympics. It’s not about him or Kamala, it’s about us.

      You are right. But he’ll never get that through his thick, narcissistic skull, because he’s been allowed to get away with anything for his entire life with basically no consequences. In the shitty little bubble he exists in, everything is a contest that he can exploit and cheat at. And everyone serves him while he does whatever the fuck he wants. The idea of him serving the American people is completely alien to him.

        If you just make that substitution all the times he’s said “We’re going to be winning so much” it makes far more sense. “You’ll be tired of all the whining we’re going to do” is far more accurate
