Trump pointed to Biden and Harris’ past comments casting Trump as a “threat to democracy,” while telling Americans they are “unity” leaders.

“They are the opposite,” Trump said. “These are people that want to destroy our country.”

The lack of self-awareness is amazing.

    It’s become obvious over time that one of Trump’s primary strategies in life is assigning his failures and faults to other people. He lives in a sort of permanent fog of projection.

    I wonder who he’s trying to fool though. It’s so constant and seemingly effortless that I suspect that it’s really mostly for his own benefit - that it’s not just the story he’s telling other people, but the story he’s telling himself.

      This is called narcissism, he is just a narcissist with a hard-on for himself and unfortunate access to widespread attention

      “Strategy” implies he actually thinks about it. I think it’s just a reflex; fault belongs elsewhere, always. The man is incapable of critical thought, especially inward.
