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.

      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.

      Her plans are “I’m not Donald Trump”. And that’s more than enough to vote for her.

          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.

    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

      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.

    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

      Exactly. Why are folks surprised? I read that he called it and immediately knew what to expect.

      The orange one is on the ropes. He’s going to try everything until he finds something that works. I’m sure his advisors are trying to calm him, but he’s going to be who he is. Expect further antics and more random garbage until he finds something.

    Okay, but what makes this one noteworthy?

    From the article:

    Campaign spokesperson Ammar Moussa said Trump was “throwing tantrums online and today at his country club for the media” because he wasn’t getting the attention he craves.

    “The self-obsessed, convicted felon is incensed he’s not in the spotlight as Vice President Harris and Governor Walz barnstorm the nation talking about their vision for an America of opportunity and security — where freedom and democracy are protected and everyone has a fair shot not just to get by, but to get ahead,” he said.

    “Trump has no vision, he has no solutions, and he is running a campaign of revenge and retribution to enact his Project 2025 agenda and make people’s lives worse. It’s why voters will reject him again at the ballot box this November.”

    Moussa with the beatdown 😬

    This after the Harris campaign called Trump “the most insecure man in America.”

    That’s gotta sting just a bit.

      He makes good points. I think his error is calling the people at the “press” conference journalist. They are not. They are content creators.

      Their job isn’t to get to the truth, it’s to drive clicks and comments. It’s to enrich them and their employer.

      There are good journalist still out there but since they don’t play to the almighty ALGORITHM they get drowned out.

      The journalists who were lured into a “press conference”, which then turned out just to be an old man yelling at clouds, still need to deliver a story.

      Maybe they should think twice about showing up for pointless events like this in the future.
