Former President Donald Trump spent nearly an hour at his Palm Beach, Florida, social club on Thursday ranting to a room full of reporters as he tries to grab the spotlight from a resurgent Democratic ticket fronted by Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
Syphilis ridden Dotard Trump holds weird pointless meeting; yells at sky.
What a creepy weirdo
I watched a little to see if he was dropping Vance, but it was too low energy to stay interested. Sad!
Is that even allowed after they are both part of the ticket and he’s the official Nominee? I realize asking Trump to follow the law is a bold strategy, but…
I wonder if they could split regressives in Vance’s state enough to guarantee a loss there if they dropped him
Okay, but what makes this one noteworthy?

It was weird. He set up a surprise conference to rant and lie for an hour. I think he is starting to think he might lose.
I think it’s simpler than that: Trump sees Harris/Walz is getting much more attention and bigger rally audiences than him. Which is weird. Maybe he’s too old and should just drop out…
He’s worried that the media attention is not on him.
If he wasn’t a living rerun, maybe more people would give a shit.
I also think Kamala doesn’t mind being out in front, which is refreshing. Hilary never wanted to do press during her run, who would, but I don’t know how she thought she could run a campaign like that.
Biden, too, though. Trump was DOA in 2024, he just had to sit back and put his name on the ticket. Sure, after his last debate in 2024 he attempted to make the rounds but it was obvious why he shouldn’t run at that point.
*sigh* Yes, he’s genuinely a threat to democracy, and the entire world… But his whole schtick is also really tired, old, and weird.
The more you think of it, reality TV, is the real threat to the entire world. Trump was boen in the bowels of false expecting and production managers on the cutting room floor making creating narratives and then feeding it to the masses as “reality.” I really dread the advent of the youtube president and maybe if we live in a benevolent world the TikTok president will be ok.
Why was the room full of reporters in the first place? The best move here is to let him rant to an empty room
Old man yells at clouds. But the clouds aren’t really there. Are clouds real? What are clouds actually?
Three groups found it really useful: Trump, his supporters, and the mainstream American media who refused to question any of his lies.
Be nice if Harris did something beyond reading off a teleprompter. Perhaps present policies she wants to implement and how she will pay for them. Her plans to combat inflation or her position on the USA’s trade relationship with China. Anything really
Looks like you’re in the wrong thread
Yeah. Apparently It’s crazy to vote for people according to what they plan to do instead of “good feelings”.
This is a thread about Trump incoherently rambling.
Go ahead and tell everyone about the Trump campaign’s list of policy positions.
I’ll get us started, let me know if I missed anything:
Deport illegal immigrants, ban electric cars and promote electric cars by Tesla, close down the EPA and Dept of Education, fire uppity black journalists, get revenge on all the prosecutors, attorneys, and Congressmen who investigated and prosecuted him.
Her plans are “I’m not Donald Trump”. And that’s more than enough to vote for her.
I think strategically it’s smart not to focus on concrete plans too much. People vote according to their feelings more than according to actual policy, and Harris is doing very well right now on the feeling front.
Guessing his speech writers were fired
The 4 rabid monkeys locked in a room with a “see and say” toy? But that’s how he comes up with his most coherent material.
Look at that tiny little hand
That thumbnail:
“and this is my dinosaur impression. RwaaaaaRrrrRRRRggggg!”
Well, he’s got the tiny hands and a big mouth like a Tyrannosaurus Rex, plus he’s a dinosaur, so it all lines up.
Tinysaurus Rex
I mean, you could say that about any press conference he’s given in the past 8 years.
Trump holds seemingly pointless press conference filled with false claims
Isn’t that the description for all of his press conferences?
He also complained that Harris is now leading the Democratic ticket […] “because of political reasons … even though she never received a vote.”
How dare these guys do things for political reasons in an election? Is nothing sacred any more?! /s
And how dare she become the candidate without any votes, before any votes were cast? /s
