Desperate For Attention, Trump Holds A Press Conference

Former President Donald Trump spent most of his hour-plus press conference from his Mar-a-Lago compound on Thursday not hearing questions, doubling down on racist attacks about Democratic nominee Kamala Harris' biracial identity, bragging about his crowd sizes, not committing to a peaceful transfer of power, claiming no one died on Jan. 6 and not remembering Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's name.

He should just go the ---- away forever.

By having that meltdown, Felonious Mook made a campaign donation to Harris-Walz.

Trump holds seemingly pointless press conference filled with false claims

I'm hoping his diet finally catches up with him on election night while he's on stage screatching and having a ketchup level fit that the election was obviously stolen because there is no way Harris/Walz beat him by 12 points nationwide and took all the Biden states plus NC and FL. And in mid screatch, he keels over from a widowmaker and Satan rises up, says "I've been waiting for you Donald, I have a special place all ready for a serial rapist and kidnapper of children. You're going to hate everyday more than the last." He then snatches Dotard's screaming soul right there on live TV and takes him straight to hell.

See, I can write fan fic too.

I didn't see a press conference.

I saw a public meltdown.

"A reporter noted that there are ways the federal government could restrict abortion besides a national ban and asked if Trump would direct his Food and Drug Administration to "revoke access" to mifepristone. Trump did not reject the idea.

"Sure, you could, you could do things that will be, would, would supplement," the GOP presidential nominee said. "Absolutely. ... But you have to be able to have a vote, and all I want to do is give everybody a vote.""

Dementia DonOLD after two years running for president doesn't have an answer to a question this easy?

Sad.

Low energy.

Lazy.

Maybe less time hosting dictators at his bug infested golf motel and more time crafting policy answers?

Nah...operation "let him talk" is working perfectly.

Why IS DonOLD hiding in his golf motel?

Usually post convention the candidate and VP candidate will take off on a barnstorm tour of swing states pumping up the party.

DonOLD has retreated into hiding.

Is he scared after the assassination attempt? That's natural.

I'm guessing that he is afraid to appear outside now and in an act of cheapness planned only outdoor rallies instead of renting indoor venues.

Also compare the two campaigns..... DonOLD had plenty of empty seats in both GA and PA while Kamala filled those arenas to the roof. Kamala hammers that point home daily with comparison photos of the arenas. That's gotta sting to a person with such an overly grandiose opinion of themselves like DonOLD has of himself.

He also is suffering from small poll numbers. America is tired of his hate, his bashing of America, his lies. The more that comes out of Project 2025 the more America sees just how horrible remaking of American culture into a right wing christofascist theocracy it is. They don't want less freedom. They don't want the government telling women to stay in abusive marriages. They don't want the government telling them who they can love.

They don't want more corruption. They don't want more unqualified lying heritage foundation justices that will strip rights away from people.

They want joy. They want freedom.

DonOLD offers none of that.

Acting like a presidential candidate holding a presser is an inherently bad thing.

That's a new one.
