Donald Trump is getting “desperate,” a Vanity Fair columnist wrote Monday.
Over the weekend, Trump spoke to a Georgia audience where he relitigated his 2020 election loss and the Republican officials who refused to act on his behalf. According to contributing editor Eric Lutz, it’s a tell. Trump frequently turns to racism and 2020 election conspiracies when slipping into impetuous patterns and impulsive rants.
At the rally, Trump attacked Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp and other GOP lawmakers. He claimed that the recent prisoner swap was a deal that benefitted Vladimir Putin, and under his leadership, he never gave away something in return for prisoners. Further, he falsely claimed he secured 59 prisoners, a FactCheck.org analysis showed.

“To be clear, Trump and his grievances have been the GOP’s problem for a while now; this is, after all, a party that has spent much of the last decade under Trump’s spell, excusing the inexcusable over and over again as they named him their standard-bearer for three consecutive cycles,” wrote Lutz.
What Kamala Harris’ candidacy has done over the past weeks is “inflame Trump’s sense of desperation and bitterness.”
Trump went so far as to confess he had “gotten worse” during a July 28 rally, Lutz recalled. He explained it was an “assessment driven home” by Trump’s rant questioning Harris’ race during a question-and-answer session with the National Association of Black Journalists.
“She was Indian all the way,” Trump said of Harris. “All of a sudden, she made a turn, and she became a Black person.”
“Birtherism, loyalty demands, obsession with crowd sizes—we’ve heard all this before. The question, as always, is: At what point will Republicans finally decide they’ve heard enough?” asked Lutz.
All of it contributes to Trump’s fall-back on racist taunts and 2020 election fraud.
