He did little to quell reports that he is melting down over Harris’s poll numbers.
Amidst reports that he has become ungluedby having to compete with Kamala Harris for the presidency, Donald Trump held a press conference at Mar-a-Lago on Thursday. And if the goal was to reassure people that (1) he is not at all freaked out by the vice president’s rising poll numbers and (2) he is the best candidate for the White House, he was not exactly successful!
Trump repeatedly insulted Harris’s intelligence, calling her “barely competent,” saying that she “can’t do a news conference” because “she’s not smart enough,” and claiming that she’s “not as smart” as Joe Biden. (As a reminder, Trump thinks there were airports during the Revolutionary War and that it’s safe to inject bleach into the body; he’s also been described as an idiot by numerous people who worked for him.)
I thought he was gonna announce he’d drop out but this is so much better
Winning the election is still his only way of staying out of prison. He’s not dropping out.
Dropping out would have been better.
imo not really cos he would’ve endorsed someone with a bit more brain capacity than him and not kept sabotaging himself
I keep seeing conservatives say “I just wish he’d keep his mouth shut”. If the hardcore ones are saying that, imagine what the average person is saying. You’re right, he’s absolutely sabotaging himself.
