David Axelrod knows how much trouble Kamala Harris is in. After her debacle of a Town Hall on CNN with Anderson Cooper, even he had to admit that Harris speaks mostly in incomprehensible word salads instead of answering questions directly.

And she hasn’t gotten any better since then.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump has dominated yet another days-long news cycle with his hilarious garbage truck appearance in Wisconsin.
It’s desperation time for Team Harris, kids.
After Trump promised that he would protect women from illegal immigrant violence in his stump speech following the garbage truck troll, Democrats have lied about what he said (because of course, they did), claiming that he would violate women’s rights ‘whether they like it or not.’
Today, Axelrod tried to play these two events off of each other with a disastrous tweet that claimed Trump was exactly like Ralph Kramden, Jackie Gleason’s legendary character from The Honeymooners.

We’re pretty sure the dunk Axelrod was trying for was that Kramden would often threaten to hit his wife Alice with the exclamations, ‘Bang, zoom! Right to the moon!’ and ‘One of these days, Pow! Right in the kisser!’
There’s only one problem. Those exclamations were all done in humor and everyone watching the show knew that Kramden would never hit his wife. And he never did.
We can’t say the same for Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff.
Oh no not comparing Trump to one of the most beloved comic actors of his age playing his most iconic role, anything but that

BEHOLD: The Left’s attempt to meme. By comparing Trump to one of the most beloved characters ever.
Good job, David. https://t.co/Txdh2DPV7h

Axelrod took ‘The Left Can’t Meme’ to a whole new level here. Both Gleason and his bus-driving, working-class character are legends in America.
Was this just an Axelrod face plant, or is it possible he’s actively trying to sabotage Harris (which Joe Biden might be doing as well) with tweets like this?
That fact that you just compared Trump to arguably the most beloved TV characters ever makes me suspect that you are actually trying to undermine Harris’ Campaign.
Well done, I guess.

Thumbs up, Dave.
You have problems with the working class? It’s no wonder you guys are losing their votes.

They hate the working class so so much. https://t.co/OFzimqswPh

Of course, this was another aspect of Axelrod’s rake-stepping tweet. Everyone remembers Kramden as the honest working man’s man, the exact people who are flocking to Trump because Harris, Tim Walz, and elitists on the left simply cannot relate or speak to them.
What was your goal here? https://t.co/uYpAaa5K7P

We … we got nothin’.
Just spectacular work here. https://t.co/J8y7xQwPTk pic.twitter.com/qCf0nwVN3w

The lack of cultural literacy from Axelrod is quite simply off the charts.
Why yes, Trump does have a great sense of humor. Thanks for pointing that out, David.

This isn’t coming across the way you think it is.

Not even a little bit.
Jackie Gleason was called as “The Great One”, and was known for his ability to perform flawlessly without rehearsing.
Surprised Axelrod is praising Trump like this… https://t.co/J3i6U3WuIq
— H.P. Loveshaft (@HLoveshaft) October 31, 2024
As Trump has shown in his many stump speeches, interviews, and recent conversation with Joe Rogan, he is great at speaking off the cuff and improvising.
Axelrod’s candidate can’t even go 30 seconds without a teleprompter.
You… you know people loved Ralph Cramden, right? https://t.co/VRl3OpOrBF
— RBe (@RBPundit) October 31, 2024
And we still do.
GP I’m not sure why you think equating Trump with beloved comedian Jackie Gleason is going to hurt Trump’s chances.
Or maybe you just look down on people who do difficult, dirty jobs. https://t.co/5rbPtPBQBt
— The Gormogons (@Gormogons) October 31, 2024
Yeah … it’s the second one.
Yes…because everyone hates Ralph Kramden.
Why are you guy SO terrible at this?😂
— The Middle Aged Baby (@MiddleAgedBaby2) October 31, 2024
They couldn’t be more out of touch with Americans if Kramden HAD sent them straight to the moon.
You didn’t think this through. At all.

We’re actually a little surprised that the tweet is still up. The reaction from Twitter was just that bad for Axelrod.

I would tell you to delete this, but since your message resulted in you making a fool of yourself .. leave it up.
— Waiting to Exhale (@SomewhatHopeful) October 31, 2024
We hope he does. It’s so revealing about how he and the left think and who they truly are.
Jackie Gleason is a LEGEND, so Trump is also? Is that your point?

Two beloved Americans https://t.co/2ILRU0y72P

If that’s the point Axelrod was trying to make, he succeeded gloriously.
But, of course, it wasn’t.
At least his failure was entertaining for the rest of us, though. We hope he keeps tweeting like this right through Election Day.
To steal another phrase from Ralph Kramden: ‘David Axelrod, you … are a mental case!’
