Former President Donald Trump has denounced Vice President Kamala Harris' nomination as the Democratic presidential candidate as "not fair," escalating his rhetoric as new polls show Harris gaining substantial ground in key battleground states.

In a fiery statement on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump accused the Democratic Party of staging "the first ever 'Coup' in America."

His outburst comes in the wake of President Joe Biden's unexpected withdrawal from the 2024 race, which paved the way for Harris to become the Democratic nominee.

He just can't get over Biden not running anymore because his entire campaign strategy has been look how old and frail Biden is. Without that comparison people see how low energy he is and the very real signs of dementia. I wonder if the rumor is true and he will replace his campaign strategists this close to the election.

He already did the shakeup; it wasn't covered well. No one was kicked out, but less than a week ago he brought Corey Lewandowski back to oversee the campaign managers.

Who he previously fired as campaign manager in 2016. His campaign is a total shitshow.

Also the married Governor of south dakota, the dog killer. Noem.

He aslo attacked a female reporter in 2016, which is why he was kicked off that campaign.

Now that Elon has made Grok 2 available, Donald has been posting absolutely pathetic AI renders between bouts of dementia. That's the energy. A pathetic loser bully fantasizing that the world likes him.

Him trying to paint Kamala as old for being 59 that one time was such a fail 🤣

And his new strategy has been trying to attack Kamala with, get this, "Kamabla".

The past two weeks has been Trump trying to find something that sticks with his fanbase who is slowly getting bored by his weird antics.

He even skirts with calling her a bitch and even that hasn't stuck with the usually sexist MAGA.

He's just annoyed that his handlers have to keep reminding him that he's not running against Biden.
