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.

    Don-old is lonely and wants the press to hear his complaints that we have only heard 10,000 before. We might forget you guys! We might forget that the election was…, and we need to build a…, and Man, Woman, TV, Traitor, Rapist.

    Three groups found it really useful: Trump, his supporters, and the mainstream American media who refused to question any of his lies.

    I wonder if his cult is starting to notice the dementia progressing, or if they’re getting tired of him getting his ass handed to him by a woman who is also black. He’s old and clearly in bad shape, everyday I wake up and check to see if today is the day he didn’t.

      No, they aren’t.

      All of my coworkers are super trump supporters, they even bought the flag from the assassination attempt. Yesterday, one of them told me to go “fuck my couch” and I said “there’s enough couch fuckers around” which confused him.

      I awkwardly explained the JD Vance couch thing (I know it was just a troll, it didn’t actually happen) and he BLEW UP. He was explaining that he looks up to and respects JD and I shouldn’t believe what I’m seeing on the internet.

    I mean, you could say that about any press conference he’s given in the past 8 years.

    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

        *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.

        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.

      Why was the room full of reporters in the first place? The best move here is to let him rant to an empty room

    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…

    Syphilis ridden Dotard Trump holds weird pointless meeting; yells at sky.

    What a creepy weirdo
