And the press loves it.
Obviously.
All the major networks covered this live. None of them covered the Harris rally that happened right after. Some did fact checking afterward. That’s after most people stop watching.
The reporters often asked useless softball questions, like asking him to comment about his upcoming interview with Musk.
When there was a serious question, he simply didn’t answer. There was one about abortion and he said he would answer later. There was one about whether an an abortion drug should be banned. He gave a rambling response that seemed to be about something else.
Compare this to a typical Biden press conference where the reporters are rude and yell out questions and push back and tell Biden that he isn’t answering the question.
The press is afraid of Trump and complicit with his criminal behavior and complicit in the ignorance of the voters.
Well yeah, it generates engagement which they can then show their advertisers.
Who we talking about? Oh yeah, some orange felon/rapist pervert who lies and shits his pants.
I don’t think he’s that smart.
Maybe, but he is that narcissistic.
His handlers are
Out of curiosity I decided to watch that press conference. Trump was constantly talking with no proper pacing or rhythm and lots of nonsensical statements – and the "usual Trump stuff". I fell asleep while watching the conference, which tells enough.
I’m sorry. Do you need a hug? I would. And we have now learned a very valuable lesson. Do not subject yourself to this ever again. Go have a cookie. You’ll feel better.
they experienced it so we didn't have to 🙌
their sacrifice shall not be forgotten.
They shall bear their marks with honor.
Glory to them. And their Hooouuuussse!
stupid sexy gowron.
Their names shall be sung in Valhalla!
I watched it with a friend, that made it at least somewhat bearable (while talking over it at parts and stopping after around 75% of it)
So it was just another regular Trump press conference?
The more Trump spews lies, disparages Harris’s intelligence, insults Jews, and rambles about “insane asylums” in unhinged press conference, the more republicans get erect and cry in front of their messiah.
It's a cult.
And all the US Media outlets gave him pretty much a free pass.
Interestingly tRumps words are heard by my brain as the complete opposite of what he claims. Every time he opens his puckered geriatric mouth about kamala it just makes me wanna vote for her even more. Harris 2024
He has gotten more unhinged in the last three weeks.
Y'all absolutely need to watch the linked fox news segment where the anchor tries to claim she knows Minnesota well, especially Milwaukee, and she sees that it has changed.
Meanwhile, Milwaukee is in Wisconsin.
Oh that's good. Very very good lol. I wonder where she's from. Probably somewhere stupid. Like Louisiana.
They are all from New York and pretend to be from the heartland.
Fuck you Louisiana is the shit. Culture, food, parties.
I thought he was gonna announce he'd drop out but this is so much better
Winning the election is still his only way of staying out of prison. He's not dropping out.
There's the idea that he believes he's entitled to a second term. And there's so much he wants to do and it must be done as soon as possible. If any of that is even vaguely true, he won't drop out.
(The fact he's not getting any younger might be in there somewhere, but he probably doesn't think about that at all if he can help it.)
He needs to become president again to stay out of prison.
Dropping out would have been better.
imo not really cos he would've endorsed someone with a bit more brain capacity than him and not kept sabotaging himself
I keep seeing conservatives say "I just wish he'd keep his mouth shut". If the hardcore ones are saying that, imagine what the average person is saying. You're right, he's absolutely sabotaging himself.
When has he ever had a hinged press conference?
Does Donald Trump think Mexico is in South America?
"Well it's south of America, isn't it?" - MAGA chuds, probably
Evidence would suggest yes
