WASHINGTON, DC: Democratic strategist Van Jones stated on Monday, August 12, that former president Donald Trump is becoming increasingly acerbic in his remarks about the damage his political rivals would bring to the nation as a result of his "freaked out" situation over not receiving as much media attention as Vice President Kamala Harris.

“He’s failing and flailing. Listen, they’re saying that these are the worst three weeks of his campaign,” Jones, a CNN contributor, said on Monday in an interview with Anderson Cooper. “That’s what the press is saying.”

“This is the year in which he got indicted, convicted, and shot at — and actually hit — by a bullet and none of that to him is as bad as possibly not getting as much attention as Kamala,” he added.

Van Jones says Donald Trump is undergoing a 'narcissistic challenge'

According to Van Jones, Donald Trump's more somber message is probably a reaction to the recent surge in support for Kamala Harris' campaign and the media exposure it has received. “Like that’s the only thing that’s happened,” Jones said per The Hill. “He’s just not getting as much attention as Kamala Harris.”

“He is more freaked out about that than you know being a convicted crook and someone who almost got killed, so that lets you know the level of narcissistic challenge that we have here,” he added.

Additionally, Trump has been focusing more and more on the number of people attending Harris' rallies. Without providing any proof, the former president even charged the vice president with employing artificial intelligence to increase the size of her crowds.

Internet mocks Van Jones for his assertion on Donald Trump

Netizens mocked CNN's Van Jones for claiming that Donald Trump has not received as much attention as Kamala Harris.

One X user tweeted, "Bahaha. That's the best he has." Another wrote, "Jones is a low-IQ diversity hire Like Jarris."

"Did a billion people listen to Van Jones or Kamalalalala yesterday?" asked one user.

Another echoed the same, "He got 1 billion impressions yesterday so I wouldn't quite call that a lack of attention." "Weirdo," remarked someone else.
