5:27Now PlayingDonald Trump’s grip on reality became even looser this week when he got on Truth Social and accused the Harris Campaign of somehow working with Google to “manipulate” stories. Trump didn’t elaborate at all about what he’s even talking about, but he did continue to post more incoherent messages attacking Harris in various different ways. It is no wonder that he’s losing so badly if all he has are half-baked conspiracy theories and lies. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what happened.

Donald Trump is continuing to descend further and further into madness. And he is doing absolutely nothing to hide any of that from the American public, which of course just makes him look so much worse. But in a series of posts on Wednesday of this past week, Donald Trump totally lost. His mind went full blown conspiracy theory, nut accusing Vice President Harris of somehow conspiring with Google to manipulate stories, which for the record is actually what Donald Trump had done in 2016 with the National Enquirer. According to the testimony of David Ecker in Donald Trump's, uh, fraud trial, David Ecker said, yeah, we had the catch and kill thing. So Trump is the one who according to the court system, did work with the media to manipulate stories. But I guess Trump's hoping we all forgot that he's a convicted felon and he is now accusing Harris of doing the same thing somehow with Google. Trump got on truth social and said this, wow, Google and the Harris campaign are manipulating stories. Is this legal?
That's it. That, that's all he said. In, in that one, he posted a lot more things that are equally as crazy, but he, he, he didn't provide any context to what he's even talking about. He didn't provide any examples. He didn't follow it like nothing. He just, a weird conspiracy theory popped into his head or somebody texted it to him or called him with it, which we know is happening according to his own campaign staff. Weird people are calling and texting him, giving him conspiracy theories. So Trump just put it out there like, it, it, it wasn't even a news story. It wasn't even a thing. Like, I don't even know what he's talking about. And I'm not even gonna go look because it's total BS anyway, I don't wanna know, because the context doesn't matter when you're talking about a crazy person who's just tweeting conspiracy theories, or I'm sorry, truthing conspiracy theories 'cause it's on truth social.
But that was his, uh, first post, just random. Harris is working for Google to be a editor, right? I don't know. I genuinely don't know, and I genuinely don't care because this is a symptom of severe mental illness, paranoid delusions, all of that. But then a little while later, he tweeted this or truth this, you know what, just to put this out there, I'm gonna call all of these tweets e even though I know it's not even called Twitter anymore. I still call it Twitter, and I'm still gonna call these things tweets, even if they come from truth social. I guess I'm old that way. It's the way I was brought up, so it's what I'm gonna do, so just deal with it. But anyway, he then posted this everywhere Kamala Harris has gone, she has been followed by failure and
Suffering as just one example. When she was put in charge of the border, the borders there, it became the worst and most dangerous border anywhere in the world. That's also verifiably not true. As I have repeatedly said, this administration has had a record number of drug seizures at the border, A record number of apprehensions called a record number of people on the terrorist watch list. They are having incredible success at the border. So let's stop with that talking point Media. You gotta do better than just reporting that Trump says it. You need to debunk it. It ain't that hard. But then Trump said another crazy thing, sheriff Mike Boudreaux of the California State Sheriff's Association was used in a Kamala ad, but says he supports Trump manipulation of everything. Now, they didn't actually feature him as a supporter of Kamala Harris. Like they didn't say he endorsed her, but Trump is out there like poor Mike Boudreaux, dude, nobody in this country.
