Donald Trump is reportedly losing sleep, battling anxiety, and obsessing over his polling numbers as the GOP nominee hopes to hang his hat on any sign that he will return to the White House.

A campaign official told Axios that Trump is asking more questions and pushing his staff to work even more to ensure that he will come out ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris come Election Day.

"Trump's anxiety is evident in his late-night and early morning calls to aides in which he peppers them with questions on how things are going---and whether they think he'll win," Axios reported.

People need to go out and fucking vote, nothing is in the bag for Harris, especially since republicans want to legally contest every single fucking fair and free election. Traitorous losers

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 27 points 3 days ago

Kamala needs to go fire and brimgstone with her presidency so we don't have to spend the next several decades years with every election being "maintain the status quo or become the fourth reich"

[-] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago

Dial back bush and Obama's expansions of executive power. The office of the president isn't supposed to be powerful enough that someone like trump can do so much damage.

At bare minimum she needs to halt the genocide in Palestine, have Netanyahu and co sent to The Hague, deport Elon Musk, send Trump to prison, nationalise SpaceX for a start.

And do SOMETHING about Gerrymandering. Anything. Mention it in an interview. Ask Congress to act. Withhold funding from egregious states.

And grab a 2 or 3 hour shift for virtual phone banking today and tomorrow.

And if you live in or next to a swing state. Knock doors for an hour. It’s fun, and you’ll hate yourself if the fascists win and all you did was shit post on the internet.

Well, I've been losing sleep and having anxiety attacks over the possibility that he might worm his way back into office again, so no sympathy

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 66 points 4 days ago

I've slept maybe 6 hours since Tuesday.

Just gonna white knuckle it till Tuesday.

Yeah same tbh. But also I don’t expect this shit to really wrap up one way or another in anything less than a week, and then who knows what Johnson will try to pull at the electoral vote count in December…

I hope the Orange neo-Nazi bag of shit is stressing out.

[-] SanctimoniousApe 18 points 3 days ago

It's about effing time he gets to experience what he's been doing to all of us.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago

Yeah that's the good news.

Good. You orange fuck. You rapist. Racist fucking shit stain asshole. I hope the rest of your sleeps are troubled. May the tightness in your neck grip ever harder in your final days. I hope you’re too much of a coward to commit suicide and you have to live with your actions and see your narcissistic collapse bring the house of cards down.

You’ve forced me to move my family to Germany because of the fascist movement you’ve brought to the US. You’ve had me doomscrolling since at least 2015. You’ve had me changing my travel plans checking flights out of Toronto in order to avoid flying from the US after your inauguration date so that my latino family will have no in-person interaction with any government agent from your regime despite their being citizens. You’ve fucking disrupted an entire world order due to your complicity with Duginism because of your insatiable greed and character flaws leading to Russian kompromat on you, or you’re just a piece of shit because you need the Russian money to keep coming.

You should be in jail at best, and facing a similar fate to Mussolini at worst. So fuck off with your sleepless nights you fucking weak minded piss poor excuse for a person.

He should lose sleep from getting executed for treason, for handing the western world to Putin on a platter.

[-] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

How the fuck is he not in prison? It's as if the conviction on more than two dozen felonies (and that's only the shit he is convicted of so far) and not suffer a single dollar for a fine or a minute in prison means the whole trial process meant nothing.

[-] beebarfbadger@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Well, you see, applying the law equally to everyone might make some rich criminals appear like they are criminals on account of the crimes they evidently committed and thus make them appear less worthy of holding the highest office in the country and nobody wants that, right? Gotta keep the election fair by letting rich people get away with their crimes until they can pardon themselves, right?

[-] Red_October@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

He's probably losing sleep over the fact that if he loses the election his best chance for staying out of prison is fleeing to Russia.

Lack of sleep and obesity at that age can trigger heart attacks. God willing.

[-] MojoMcJojo@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

No. I want him to watch himself become irrelevant while being sentenced for his crimes. He can die or whatever in a prison cell, forgotten and penniless.

[-] Jax@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

I feel like forgetting people like him is how we got to where we are now.

I hope a fucking meteor hits him. I hope his death is so cataclysmic that it cannot be denied that causality itself has orchestrated his demise. I hope his death is so violently spectacular that even Joel Osteen goes "Well, maybe we aught to look at the facts.".

Do your best to make sure no one forgets Trump. Make sure people understand exactly what he represents.

He's stressing about having to face jail if he loses. So anyways...

Wow, we actually have something in common

[-] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 78 points 4 days ago

Honestly though I hope he just strokes out from the high blood pressure

[-] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 66 points 4 days ago

I want his death to be so nonchalant that nobody even realizes he's actually dead.

like, he goes to take a shit and dies on the toilet and nobody notices for like a day.

and when they find him hes all riggered up and covered in shit and piss.

and the person to find him is a secretary he's treated like shit for years. she takes pics of him, sells them for a huge amount of money, and everyone mocks him for the next two generations.

and in every history book, the last line will be about how he died covered in his own urine and feces.

[-] luciferofastora@lemmy.zip 24 points 4 days ago

He was a piece of shit. In his final moments, he was comforted by his kin.

My feeling is that he'll never face any real tangible consequences for all the shit he's put the world through. He'll have his final Big Mac Attack and dodge justice for good. Permanent delay tactic.

Anything that weakens him before his second coup attempt is good in my book.

Him losing sleep could actually kill him, I wish him many a sleepless night.

[-] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 67 points 4 days ago

I hope he loses a lot fucking more than sleep. Tired of these god damned traitors.

[-] notannpc@lemmy.world 43 points 4 days ago

It’s be really cool if he lost his freedom for all the crimes we know he’s committed…

[-] Big_Boss_77@lemmynsfw.com 20 points 3 days ago

Shit... I'd settle for the ones he's been convicted of.

He not anxious about the election, it's the fact he goes to jail for all of his evil shitfuckery if he loses. No amount of microphone fellatio will alay his worry about atoning for his disgusting existence.

He'll have plenty of time to catch up on some Z's in a prison cell.

[-] tipicaldik@lemmy.world 40 points 4 days ago

Florida voter here... I stood in line for about 45 minutes today for early voting. Women outnumbered men by at least 8 to 1 while I was there, which I found a bit encouraging. I enjoyed being able to vote against Matt Gaetz, and I only wish DeStains was on the ballot too so I coulda voted against his dumb-ass as well...

At least he gets to catch up on his sleep during court appearances eh?

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago

Losing sleep over whether he’ll actually be sentenced or not.
