You might wonder why Trump would take the time to make an all-caps tweet stating his (apparently very strong) negative feelings about the world's biggest pop star. Trump treats all women as objects (he reifies them): all women are either treasured objects or hated objects.
Women are "treasured objects" when they make Trump look good. Women are "hated objects" when they refuse to capitulate to Trump & make him look bad. He gets in his feelings bigly when a popular, attractive, successful woman defies him. He's truly the smallest man who ever lived.

I sent a lot to the reporter that didn't make it into the piece. 🧵
The investigations into Trump's alleged "election cheating" have repeatedly shown that the 2020 election was secure, that no cheating occurred, and the Joe Biden was the legitimate winner of the election.
According to the Congressional January 6th Committee report Trump knew that the lost the election, but tried to reverse his loss at the state level by having states certify a second slate of electors (some of those involved in that scheme have been accused of criminal activity,
The Associated Press has spent years investigating what happened on January 6th and years attending the trials of those convicted of violently attacking the government. This is great reporting, documenting history: apnews.com/projects/janua…
Why does Trump call those who violently attacked our government "patriots"? We all know why: If they're NOT patriots, then he led an insurrection, attacked the peaceful transfer of power--a failed autogolpe (self-coup). He did lead an insurrection, he did lead a failed coup.
He is still couping, "poisoning the well" for the 2024 election, plotting at the state level to remove voters from the rolls and prevent the vote from being counted:
Just to account for the utter weirdness of Trump's habitus:
-orange/brown make-up applied by himself in a T pattern on his face, despite best practices
Suits specifically tailored incorrectly, which make him look weirdly shaped:
I’ve been waiting on line at the post office for 30 minutes. There are approximately 25 other people waiting.
They close in three minutes.
Our postal service has totally been disrupted. Mail gets stuck or lost when it goes through Houston. Or Dallas. They combined our two city post offices into one, serving about 250k people.
Expect that Trump won't "debate," he'll be there to humiliate. What does he think will humiliate Harris the MOST? He will call her names, distort her record & policies, try to make her cry, try to intimidate her & attack her heritage. He'll say she's a dumb silly girl & a whore.
He will spew so many lies (Gish Gallop) that no one is able to refute them. Do not try. This isn't a "debate," do not try to debate facts. Weirdify: expose, critique, and mock. Explain Trump's weak-sauce strategies to the audience--
"Well, that was about 20 lies right there. I'm not going to waste the short amount of time I have here refuting them (it's on my website-post factchecks). Trump lies a lot, some of the worst lies he tells are about how this nation isn't already and hasn't always been great..."
