Last night's Vice Presidential debate with Gov. Tim Walz and smarmy, dishonest (don't fact check me) Junior Demagogue Vance demonstrated to the Malignant Loser that his running mate performed better than he did, although just as dishonestly (Haitian immigrant situation, the Affordable Care Act) and evasively (2020 election results). According to MSNBC gadfly and contributor Donnie Deutch (who knew Trump years ago in New York City), that contrast with his running mate will irritate the Malignant Loser bigly (skip to 12:20):
"This morning in Mar-a-Lago, what's going on is people are going up, as they're getting their Danish and Bundt cake at Mar-a-Lago, saying, 'Vance was great last night, wasn't Vance great?' That's going to bother him, that's going to really bother him that he was better than Donald Trump, that he could litigate the case better than Donald Trump. [snip]
He's going to be very dismissive of J.D. Vance in the coming weeks, but Donald Trump is not happy with himself because J.D. Vance showed himself to be a better candidate." (our emphasis)
The profound narcissist that he is, the Malignant Loser can't tolerate someone showing him up, even a sycophantic tool like Vance who doesn't respect the results of the 2020 election. It'll be interesting to see if the Malignant Loser slights his ticket mate in the remaining weeks before the election over having a "better" debate performance than he did.
