During his press conference at his Bedminster, N.J., property, Trump was asked by multiple journalists about criticism from some Republicans that he needs to be more disciplined and lay off the personal attacks on Harris. He responded that he was “entitled to personal attacks.”

The Harris campaign criticized the event, saying he had “a stream of not-much-consciousness” and then “it did not get better” when he took questions.

“At his country club, Donald Trump, huffed and puffed his opposition to lowering food costs for middle and working class Americans and prescription drug costs for seniors before pivoting back to his usual lies and delusions,” spokesperson James Singer said.

    Ahead of Trump’s speech, the campaign mocked the former president, releasing a media advisory saying that he was set to “hold another public meltdown” and “deliver another self-obsessed rant.”

    Were they always putting this stuff out there, and I was missing it?
    Because this should have been their message from the get go.

      Nah, the Harris campaign seems to be a lot more politically savvy and aware that trying for bipartisanship like Biden did is a wasted effort.

        More that they couldn’t say this when Biden wasnt making any sense either.

        Now that the Dem candidate can string two sentences together and remember what the first sentence was, it’s safer to be realistic about trump.

        It was always these easy, Biden just was holding us back.

        They’ve also figured out that the way to make Trump lose his shit repeatedly is to not react to his bullshit in any way except dismissiveness. Make an off-handed burn comment and then move on with your own platform like the senile old fuck doesn’t even deserve more than that.

        Comments like “Whatever that was” and “Can’t run a livestream”, etc… is just the perfect off-hand snark to use because it turns him into a joke, but doesn’t lessen his threat. It’s a position of “Can you fucking believe that this joke of a human is actually a threat to our democracy people? Like WTF” is basically the gist of her snark remarks. And it’s totally having the effect they want.

      Nah. What’s even more fun is seeing George Conway run ads with messages like this on TV shows and channels that T**** is known to watch.

      So, Cheeto-dick Chump sits to watch a golf tournament on TV and he ends seeing himself sounding like an idiot and being called weird.
