4:15Now PlayingDonald Trump’s own supporters are trashing his campaign, and his campaign manager, for running such a pathetic campaign. The campaign put out an ad attacking Vice President Kamala Harris as being weak on border issues, but Trump’s supporters told them that it was already too late to start framing the election because Harris beat him to it. If his own supporters can see that, then there’s no doubt that plenty of undecided voters have noticed, too. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

One of the most startling things, and not necessarily startling in a bad way, actually startling in a good way that has happened in the last two weeks, is that Donald Trump has repeatedly, I mean three or four times at this point, been so terrible that his own base, his own supporters on truth social, have attacked him. They've gone after him multiple different times for picking JD Vance. They went after him for his endorsement of both Blake Masters and Abe, uh, Hamada in the Arizona, uh, primary. They went after him for lying about knowledge of Project 2025. And then once again, this week, they went after his campaign and him for being pathetically weak in their attacks on Kamala Harris. So here's what happened on Twitter this week. You had Chris Las Cavita, who of course is one of Donald Trump's campaign co-managers, because apparently he couldn't find one competent person.
So he takes two half competent people to make one competent person, and they're still not competent. But anyway, LA Cavita gets on Twitter, he posts a Trump, uh, campaign ad attacking Kamala Harris for being weak on the border, and it says she's failed us. Kamala Harris failed weak and dangerously liberal, okay? Typical Republican message, right? But it did not resonate with Trump's own followers. In fact, they were off that they're only just now doing it. Here are some of the responses as put together by raw story from Trump's own supporters, calling him out for his pathetically weak campaign. Here's what some of 'em said too slow. By the time MIT Romney started ads, Obama had already defined him, which of course is basically referring to Kamala Harris has been out there defining who you are, which as we know, the talking point now is they're weird, and it, the talking point is actually working really well.
So Harris has already defined Trump, and she's defined herself, and now Trump's people are scrambling like, oh God, we can't attack Biden. What do we do for Harris? Uh, she's, she's weak on the, the, and his own followers like, yeah, you're a little too late to the party, bud. It's too late. Another one said, there are better ads out there on TikTok. These old style ads are not as effective as the new ads we're seeing by Dilly meme team, et cetera. Another said, you need to get President Trump on X right now. Another said, Fox just showed, she called herself fearless in her first ad. Um, you should parody her ad. Okay? I don't, I don't know how to do that. But anyway, she is defining herself, Kamala Harris'. She's defined Donald Trump and his followers and his, you know, surrogates and all the Republicans who worship at the altar of Trump. And Trump is now struggling as he admitted, like, we spent a year and a half attacking
Biden. Now what do we do? And they don't know what to do. But here's the kicker. If his own supporters see it, if they see that she's already defined herself and him, and he is now playing catch up, if his own supporters can see it, do you know who else clearly sees it? The undecided voters across this country, the moderates and independents who might still be on the fence? So Donald Trump is now in a position that he's never been in, and he's having to play catch up. He is having to change the image that Harris has already put out there of him, and that is never a good position for any political candidate of any party. If you're not the first out there to frame an issue or to frame your opponent in certain terms, you've lost. And right now looks like that's what's happened to Trump, according to his own supporters.
