Donald Trump can't stand to be publicly humiliated by a Black woman

During their debate, Harris metaphorically did exactly that. She is a former prosecutor who deftly presented her case against Trump as being unfit for office before an audience of tens of millions. In all, “The Prosecutor” versus “The Felon” was and is a marquee matchup right out of professional wrestling — and it more than lived up to its billing.

However, during the debate, there was something else happening with the 78-year-old Donald Trump. What transpired was disturbing and all too familiar for Black and brown Americans (especially those of a certain age with the lived experience of surviving the Jim and Jane Crow white supremacist terror regime). Trump’s face and overall emotions and demeanor were a portrait of White (male) rage. Kamala Harris, a Black South Asian woman, was humiliating Trump publicly and showed no outward fear of him. This was a type of narcissistic injury to the country’s first White president, his MAGA supporters, and others who are materially and psychologically invested in the white authoritarian political project. For many Black and brown folks (and I imagine a good number of white people too), watching Trump be made so uncomfortable by a Black woman was beautiful even though his menace and threat were palpable.

In the week or so since his defeat by Kamala Harris, Trump and his campaign had a choice to make. Would they pivot to “the issues” and be more “disciplined”? Or would they double and triple down on their feral horror politics? Digging deeper into that old ugly offal and waste-filled bucket of racism, white supremacy, hatred against Black women, and other vile things and smearing it on themselves as they attack Harris, the Democratic Party, and by extension its voters, and specifically Black and brown people?

....(snip)....

In the last week or so since their debate, I have been returning to how Harris publicly humiliated Trump, a very rich, very powerful, and very dangerous White Man, during their debate. If Harris defeats Trump and the MAGA movement in November that will be a historically supreme humiliation for him and those who flock to his banner. Not too long ago, for a Black person, especially a woman, to humiliate, resist, or otherwise assert their dignity, humanity, and autonomy against a white man in public (or private) would have been de facto illegal and punishable by death and the lynching tree (and even worse acts for a woman). .............(more)

2. He's got 40 odd days to convince anyone who is still unconvinced that he's a lunatic

And he’ll be bad for the country no matter of your viewpoint. His doe bards won’t leave but anyone with a functioning brain will see it. Bring out the popcorn.

3. They say Trump has no self control.

Yet, him saying the N word is thisclose to coming out in a public setting.
