Trump’s reaction to his campaign’s many failings was ripe for a Downfall makeover – and it works perfectly
Since Kamala Harris became his election opposition, Donald Trump‘s campaign has seemed like a series of unfortunate events.
His already unpopular running mate, JD Vance, has come down with a terrible case of foot-in-mouth disease.
Now that JD Vance's attack on "childless cat ladies" has been unearthed, all the Trump campaign can do is brace for impact pic.twitter.com/DFWwL3WG2A

Trump’s ignorant racist remarks on Kamala Harris’s ethnicity haven’t gone down well.
Trump tells Black journalists that Kamala Harris "is of Indian heritage … is she Indian or is she Black? … she became a Black person." Note the audience laughing at him. pic.twitter.com/PAhmgr1yBS

And, worst of all – from Trump’s point of view, at least – he’s rapidly falling back in the polls.
Just FYI, Trump is melting down in real time *because* these are real polls: pic.twitter.com/btXFbxvPgE

All of those campaign catastrophes are covered in the latest incarnation of the Downfall meme. We really hope the terminally online Trump watches this and somebody films it. It’ll be Rantception.
The Trump campaign sure has that "Hitler in the bunker" energy these days. pic.twitter.com/fjI3jVNWnb

Those mental exercises are pretty special – and probably pretty close to accurate.

As a german this clip confuses me …. I like the subtitles, but have to mute Hitler. As I did it with Trump, in the last 20 Minute of his Press conference.
