Donald Trump on Wednesday night falsely smeared Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer as a “proud member of Hamas.”

The Republican presidential nominee made the insulting remark about the top-ranking U.S. Jewish official at a rally in Pennsylvania. It came on the same day that Trump separately sparked an angry backlash for questioning Vice President Kamala Harris’ racial identity.

        But he’s always had control over the narrative in the media and he’s starting to lose it because his opponent is now much more coherent than he is.

      This is about the 75th time I’ve heard this in the last 6 years.

        Apart from losing the election, losing the insurrection, being found guilty, being impeached.

        He hasn’t faced real justice yet and peopke treat him with kid gloves, especially the media, but he is starting to face an emperors new clothes situation. That may not be recoverable.

        When he’s toxic, and association costs rather than benefits others, they wont be loyal either. Hell face the justice he deserved.
