Trump to make 2pm announcement today

From Mar-a-lago.

What will he announce?

Dropping JD?

Leaving the US?

Bitcoin tokens to fleece his followers?

That he's fine tuned his nickname for Kamala. You know, something really important.

Probably a scam related to his incoming truth social selloff - he stands to make a billion or so in cash.

Any merde to regain control of the news cycle. What he lives for.

he's been very quiet this period

What fresh hell is he cooking up for us now?

Something stupid this way comes (this afternoon)

He needs a lead news cycle fix so bad, like a desperate junkie lurking in an alleyway.

This is the desperation cycle of a malignant narcissist.

Barron has decided on a college to attend.

He's headed to TRUMP UNIVERSITY!

This is YUGE!!

Dropping JD would be hilarious but I don’t think it’ll happen. I mean, who would be left to campaign? Is MAGA really crying out for the vivacious personality of, erm, Doug Bergen?

Trump’s campaign advisors must know that adding RFK to the ticket would just be kind waving a white flag in defeat. At that point, they all might as well go home.

It’s gonna be “now available for a limited time, get your commemorative…” something.

At this point, they might as well be selling commemorative JD Vance sofa cushions, complete with jizz stains.

A stunt to try and grab back press attention.

He’s holding a press conference but I haven’t seen anything about an announcement. It will be nothing more than his usual litany of grievances

[quote] adding RFK to the ticket

In theory that would combine their numbers and push past Kamala's, but I doubt the campaign stylings of the frog-vioced road-kill-eater would be able to sustain their momentum any more than Vance does.

He will announce that Melania is very very ill with her past “kidney” disease, the extent of which no one has seen before, and he will need to retire to spend time with family.

Public begging for Sleepy Joe to re-enter the race so he can feel comfy again

"Please Joe. Just come back and let me and the press abuse you and Hunter for 90 more days! I need you, Joe. 90 more days, Joe. Joe, with tears in my eyes and a full diaper, Joe. Come back, Joe. Joe! Why won't you take my calls, Joe? I thought it was you and me, Joe? Don't you know, no one walks away from me, Joe? Don't you know that? Come back to me, Joe! I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS WITHOUT YOU, JOE!"

*audibly sharts himself*

Dropping Vance for DeSantis or Nikki Haley

He’s going to announce Rubio as his running mate.

I doubt it’s going to be anything but “Pay Attention To Me!”

If JD Vance goes, so do all the neofascist crypto broligarchs (and their money.)

I can't imagine him dropping Vance since it would be showing weakness and bad decision making. Then again, desperate times lead to drastic measures.

Could he drop Vance with some plausible excuse?

Get rid of Vance? He'd have to return Peter Thiel's $billion "donation".

Some grift that will rob stupid people of more money and line his pockets.

Look, Trump is King of the GQP.

If he wants Vance gone bad enough, he will ruin him then dump him.

He will just sell the Top Secret docs he has on tap for fundage, ok? I mean...who is going to stop him? Garland? SCOTUS?

Keep dreaming. And dream some more.

He has to show his face after that insane tweet to reassure his supporters that he can act sane.

"We discovered JD Vance kept underage girls as sex slaves in his dungeon. It's with great sadness that we have to announce his decision to leave the campaign so that he could be with his half breed family during this difficult time. We wish him all the best."

^^ You honestly think a single MAGAt would care if Shady JD was a pedo? You clearly have not been paying attention.

R21: Florida electors can't vote for both Trump and Rubio.

If anything, Mango Mussolini is upset that Shady JD did the juvenile "Entourage" photo-op without him... or at least, a cardboard cutout of him.

The more I think about it, he COULD be dumping Vance. He would just claim tit for tat and replace with Haley in a desperate attempt to secure the female vote. Who knows? I hate this clown so fucking much.

He's going to announce that his new infrastructure plan will be unveiled mere two weeks from now.

Sources are saying (my mom) it's something about the debates.

We're still to see that beautiful healthcare plan, written in invisible ink.

Announcing someone has been mean and unfair to him.

I doubt Haley would climb aboard this ship. She'd want to see some more promising polling numbers.

You're underestimating her lack of spine, R39. I'm wondering what's keeping her head on top of her torso.

They seem way threatened by Tim Walz, it might just be an attack on Walz. Claiming to have something new and damning like back when when he claimed he had a hired investigator who was about to blow the lid off Obama’s REAL birthplace. (he didn’t)

If he drops Vance - then he looks like he makes bad decisions, although his track record has already shown that with all of his appointees during his administration.

I'm thinking that he's gonna try and get Nikki Haley - because in the Republican mind, hey - we've got an Indian woman too! That's how the stupid think. Even though she has thoroughly bashed Trump as well. I hope Nikki is smart enough to distance herself to save her own political future - but she'll do ANYTHING for power - like most Republicans.

He's announcing that he's suing the DNC, Joe Biden, all the networks and everybody because it's not fair that Biden dropped out after he the holy god damned [italic]New York Times[/italic] spent 5 years and billions of dollars drumming "he's old!" into our collective consciousness.

Trump's "BEAUTIFUL" Healthcare plan = Totally dismantling the ACA and not replacing it with anything, screwing over 45 million Americans but most importantly owning the Libs and shitting all over Obama's biggest accomplishment.

The End!

OP is misleading. He announced a “general press conference.” He said nothing about an “announcement.”

He's gonna sell some crypto crap, then he'll rant for 30 minutes about Kamala and Walz.

Nothing to see here, folks.

He finally remembered when he last had corn.

Of course, the networks will cover this no matter what Dump says. As soon as he starts spewing shit, they should turn him off. Also. Is this a true press conference? Or just an opportunity to bloviate? I bet he doesn’t even take questions.

Maybe, just maybe, [italic]he's[/italic] dropping out rather than losing to Harris?

This is nothing more than another grift.

Trump doesn't do press conferences to announce anything. He just posts it on Truth Salad.

"We regret to tell you that JD Vance suffered an accident earlier today when he got too close to the balcony railing. He's in the hospital, fighting for his life and our thoughts and prayers are with him. To thank him for his short but invaluable service to the campaign, his family will be given lifelong supplies of Mountain Dew. Any questions from the press?"

[quote] They seem way threatened by Tim Walz, it might just be an attack on Walz. Claiming to have something new and damning like back when when he claimed he had a hired investigator who was about to blow the lid off Obama’s REAL birthplace. (he didn’t)

"Why did Commie TamponTim take all those trips to Jynah? Someone should look into that."

Yeah, announcement and press conference are two different things. UGH

I refuse to link to his Twitter, so here's someone sharing his tweet.

And we know what that means.

Lies, half-truths, obfuscation and regret?

Dementia-riddled old man yelling at a cloud?

"Enough about Kamabla, let's talk about ME!"

R49 He'll never drop out, because then he'd know nothing can save him from prison.

He'll stay in this race until the bitter end, and when he loses, get ready for "stolen election!" part II.

Maybe he's adding a Billings stop to his big Bozeman rally tomorrow!

Let him speak! Speak away, Donald. It will be hilariously racist, dishonest, carping about everything under the sun and how everyone has failed him. We'll be live posting here gleefully, enjoying the show. I'm getting my popcorn ready.

People have forgotten how batshit crazy he is. He has credibility he lacked in 2016 because he actually got elected and some people are nostalgic. The more he shows he face, the more he shows his ass.

Maybe he'll offer a conspiracy theory for the "assassination attempt "

FYI, Trump’s “open press” conference is only “open” to the reporters to whom his campaign gave an early heads up so they could get to Palm Beach. His campaign also selects which reporters travel with him, unlike Harris who now has a rotating press pool.

In 2016, Clinton had more baggage than her over-confident team (supporters) realized. Enough voters took a gamble along the lines of "Better to get rid of her once and for all, for all his raving [italic]schtick[/italic] it'll end a relatively normal term."

Now, almost no one will go from undecided/other to eventually voting for him. The numbers we see these days represent his maximum ceiling.

I have a doctor’s appointment. Damn!

A proctological exam is preferable to Trump's inane ramblings, R70.

I bet it's some crypto announcement.

He's transitioning so he can be the first female president.

It's been cleared up by now that it's not any kind of announcement, just a general presser / whine sesh.

Patriots, give us your life savings and we'll convert them into crypto and invest them for you! 500% return on investment guaranteed*!

*Endorsed by Sam Bankman Fried

Still fun to speculate what might have been.

If this press conference is only open to people allowed by Dump, none of the networks should carry it (although we know Fox will). Just report what he says, and make sure you fact check because we know they will be all lies.

R77 Mainstream media fact check?

Oh, you silly girl.

My guess is he’s going to challenge Kamallabanalama to a debate.

The numbers aren’t moving in his direction so he’s going to want something for his cult to cheer. Even if he shits the bed, they will.

And there’s an added bonus here. She will give a strong performance. She’s a lawyer. And THAT will turn a lot of undecideds off.

Announcing new MAGA Depends. Only 99.99 a box. Gets yours while supplies last!

Look. The Vice President slot on the ticket was bought and paid for. He is not dumping Vance.

I think it's about the debate. OR: He might announce some cosmetic shake up to his campaign. Look. Kelly Ann Conway was visiting with him and so was Miz Lindsey. So It's a campaign staffing thing. And R8 has it exactly right.

Momentary lapse in sanity, r79. What was I thinking?

I'd wager a bet he's going to use some of the conference to talk up crypto, his latest corrupt ponzi scheme. Not for nothing did he choose Vance as his running mate, at the behest of Peter Theil the crypto king. Junior Mint and Eric are all in on it too.

He knows at this point his joke of a campaign is toast so he'll be looking for a way to get his scams out in front of his rabid followers. It's all about the benjamins with this one.

DT will become the official spokesperson for My Diaper, an exciting new product from Mike Lindell. Comes in Red, White and Blue; Gold, and Camo.

Sorry Theil = Thiel in r84.

He's announcing that J.D. is changing his name to Vivian, in order to secure the all-important Datalounge vote.

I still think that's why he chose him - he thought he was related to Viv.

For once I wish the press would ask

Why should Americans elect a convicted felon?

What are your policy priorities to help the middle class?

If sentence to jail, will you drop out of the race?

What others have said, he NEEDS to make a headline, any headline. Expect something ridiculous.

He's going to announce that after long and deep consideration he's going to go for a more ashy version of Just for Men. If that doesn't revive his campaign, nothing will.

If he dropped Shady Vance for Nikki Failing, would it help?

Maybe it's about that DUI Walz had THIRTY YEARS AGO.

If so, wow that's really reaching. Especially for a convicted felon.

His base is made up pretty much exclusively of racists and misogynists, just like him. I don't think so.

The MAGAts don't care whether it's a Hindu-lover or a Hindu herself, so no, it would not help, R92.

Is anyone subscribed to his campaign emails? They are unhinged. Scam, scam, scam. He sends out a dozen or more emails each day. Each one is either fear mongering 'The country will go to shit tomorrow...but not if you donate $29' or a scam 'Are you still awake? Donald Trump wants to have a meeting with you right now, donate $99'

I doubt it'll be anything other than his usual rants.

I expect he's not happy with Vance, though. Since he was announced as VP, he's made a series of odd and weak remarks and the media have really latched onto calling him "weird". Any other politician wouldn't care, but I can imagine Trump being bothered by the weird label - especially as it's not all coming from the Democrats.

He's so wound up over the "weird" label that he's going to try to flip the narrative by claiming something like "If it's weird to put America first, Trump/Vance is weird!"

And then he'll grift.

Or perhaps he's going to try to get the MAGAts to hang JD Vance.

If Jeffrey Epstein's bestie has to bitch about regarding Walz is a DUI from three decades ago, he is fucked.

He's going to announce he has signed treaties with Russia, China and NoKo.

He will be arrested.

[quote]Maybe it's about that DUI Walz had THIRTY YEARS AGO.

[quote]If so, wow that's really reaching. Especially for a convicted felon.

Absolutely nothing is beyond the vindictiveness and pettiness of Trump. Walz at his barnstorming rally got huge laughs and long applause for building to a punchline about Trump's felonies. The truth hurts, and I bet the felon was burning with rage. Sociopaths hate and fear being laughed at. Trump will try to flail back, but there's enough material for Walz to mock and crush Trump for years.

I'm still convinced it is either a staff shake up or an announcement about the debates. Personally if he announces the debate stuff he will use it as an opportunity to use the free media tie he is so generously accorded to rave about Kamala.

He will announce that Barron is running the campaign now in an effort to capture the youth voters.

Who's setting up the Live Post for this baby?

"Where's Hope? Does Hope Walz have a laptop from Hell? Does Hope know Hunter Biden? Where is Hunter? Why isn't the Press asking these questions? They are the enemies of the people!"

Some NFT or fake currency or more trading cards. He’ll never quit the race because he’s convinced he’s gonna win.

Going to announce the ear wound has revealed CANCER!

He's coming out with a new line of 'Dump' adult diapers.

Maybe he will call for a justice department investigation into Ti Walz doing something shady as governor. You know nothing is too heinous for Trump. And he and Vance have no problem throwing out smears and false accusations. What an ugly man. I get so fucking angry at the way the NEws media created and normalized this fucker, and how many people are falling for it, and then I also realize the vast network of troll farms, and the QAnon, internet operations very deliberately peddling conspiracy theories. And it has become a billion dollar industry. People literally sell all kinds of snake oil type shit online and they make money.

I will point out for those of us here who follow such things, that Mercury just went retrograde a few days ago....warping all kinds of communications, speeches and related comms events, causing much havoc and misunderstanding in these areas. It's never a good idea to make any public proclamations or talks/conferences during this period, unless what is being presented is well planned and thought out in advance.

Not the hallmarks of Donny Dust Up here.

With a donation of $99.99, you will enjoy one night with Melania, the classiest First Lady ever!

And yet how many Trump threads do we have in DL?

I wish it were that easy, to just ignore him and he'd go away.

Can't wait for the Tim lash back, Trump has no balls.

[Quote]If he wants Vance gone bad enough, he will ruin him then dump him.

Okay... But, what if it is to announce that JD Vance is voluntarily dropping out due to a recently discovered debilitating disease? The Republicans can get Dr. Ronnie to say and write any medical condition and prescription. Then to keep JD (and his wife) quiet, pay-off JD. If Thiel won't pay, there will be many others of the 1 % who will.

It could be a plausible excuse to drop JD and choose someone else. If Dems throw the "no one voted for the new other" then the Repubs would counter with "Well, who voted for your Kammie"

Could this be a possibility?

Many Democrats let him live rent-free in their heads, probably PTSD from 2016.

^ No, he's just weirdly bizarre.

Not only is Kamala not Black but she is not a woman and he can prove it. She used to be a TV hooker in the SF Meat Market and Putin has tapes.

R116 Nah. He's just gonna come out, rant and rave for 30 minutes about immigrants coming to eat our babies, then call on the press members he selected from Fox and Newsmax who will toss him softball questions so he can rant some more.

Truly, there will be nothing to see here. He's just trying to get media attention away from Harris-Vance.

His team has intercepted leaked nude pics of Tim Walz with his 10-inch penis. Then he will pass around copies.

[quote]it might just be an attack on Walz. Claiming to have something new and damning like back when when he claimed he had a hired investigator who was about to blow the lid off Obama’s REAL birthplace.

Another example of the failing press because Trump also said (re Obama's birth) "and, you won't believe what we're finding..." I don't recall not one news outlet coming back to Trump and asking what was the unbelievable findings the Trump investigators had found.

[quote]And then he'll grift.

The grift comes FIRST. And LAST.

And usually somewhere in the middle too.

Crypto will be brought up. He's been given his talking points by his new masters Elmo and Theil.

[quote]The more he shows he face, the more he shows his ass.

OH! I like that, R62! I REALLY, REALLY, DO!

Clean it up a bit... or not, it's a line that Harris and/Walz could use.

[quote] Syphilis?

We already know it’s stage 3.

If it is crypto (and I think it likely is) then he will have to read from a teleprompter. He is terrible at that. He'll hunch over and squint at the prompter, he'll slur out words and then get frustrated and go off script. He'll do his usual schtick about other countries giving their mental patients one way tickets to the US, about illegals killing millions of Americans and then he'll take soft ball questions.

[quote] His team has intercepted leaked nude pics of Tim Walz with his 10-inch penis. Then he will pass around copies.

Can I get one?? It'll make me love him even more!

R53 has already explained what’s going on.

He’s going to lose his voice permanently?

He can't just drop Vance. That would look terrible. Vance would have to resign and pretend it was his own choice. If Trump has blackmail material on him, I suppose that could happen, but otherwise, no.

I wouldn't expect much from this announcement. And I'm not sure why anyone else would. It'll be some minor endorsement or a new promise or maybe nothing but a rant given that it's Trump. But it won't be anything surprising.

Doesn't "news conference" usually mean taking questions from the Press? Anybody really think that will happen?

OP has caused hysteria here with his "announcement" talk. He's going to spew a bunch of bullshit we've all heard before.

Trump will announce his successful penile enlargement surgery results. From 2" to 4", no more mushroom cocklet!

R137 Once a mushroom, always a mushroom.

Once a cocklet, always a cocklet.

[quote]OP has caused hysteria here with his "announcement" talk.

Well, that's what makes DL fun and entertaining. A VERY NEEDED THING here on DL! DL needs more active threads with loads of participation with funny quips, thoughts, and jabs!

Whether or not Trump dumps JD, Trump will:

plant seeds to scapegoat Vance

malign the election process/revive bamboo ballot BS

mention his goon “poll watchers”

use all the superlatives for himself and disaster for e everyone else.

accuse Dems of trying to have him assassinated, in hope that his Carhartt warriors will revolt when he loses

blame anyone else he can in advance like the RNC or Mitch McConnell

He’ll attack Tim Walz’s military history. Mark my words.

[quote] his Carhartt warriors

Carhartt has become downright fashionable these days. I mean, Selfridges sells it. I doubt his toothless yokels can afford it any longer.

[quote] He’ll attack Tim Walz’s military history. Mark my words.

That's a good guess. But will it work? I know they started to question his military service already, but I doubt it will impact anyone. Walz hasn't really made this a center piece of his resume. So I don't think any doubt they want to generate would matter much.

Yeah, they caught something Nancy Pelosi and DNC vetting team hadn't?? Uday, Qusay, and LaCivita?

They already have a ton of numbskulls fighting his record, I’m sure he will

I'm sure the Harris team knows full and well about all the details with the DUI arrest. They better have something better than that to throw at the wall.

How can he attack Walz's military record when he HAS NONE OF HIS OWN? It's insanity, Donnie Draft Dodger.

Putting the clues together.... sounds like Trump is buggin' about the media attention all going to his opponent, and in highly positive ways. So, "news conference!"

I'll be shocked if he actually dumps Vance, but I just checked and Vance has been silent on Twitter since sunset last evening (which is highly unusual) so who knows..

"I will be doing a General News Conference at 2 p.m., for all you Fake News Enemies of the People. I know you can't wait to be rude and nasty, so nasty.

Kamabla just named her new White master, I call him Waltzing Tim, he's Waltzing Tim. Have you seen this guy? He's supposed to be Mr. Middle America! He was a TEACHER! Did you like your teachers? I hated my teachers! I threw a rock at mine! I'm not saying you should throw rocks at Waltzing Tim, but you know I took a BULLET for our great democracy, so what's a few rocks?! Democrats don't want you to have rocks. They're too dangerous, they cry! They're not solar! Gotta have solar!

So I'm ready to debate the Very Black Kamabla anywhere, but she's afraid of FOX. Like Tar Baby, remember the Low IQ Tar Baby? Always afraid of the much smarter Brer Fox. 'Oh, come into my briar patch, Tar Baby! I won't hurt you!' Brer Fox. So smart.

My beautiful wife Millennial has graciously offered our magnificent you've never really seen anything like it Mar-a-Lago for the debate. Don't you folks think I have the most beautiful First Lady? Have you seen Waltzing Timmy's wife? Very PTA Mom. 'Here, have a cookie.'

I think it's only fair to have an audience, though. But the dumb Democrats, remember Johnny Carson, folks? 'How dumb ARE they?' He was the best. Now all the Jimmys just go after your greatest President Trump. Even when I was assassinated they made lame jokes. Sleepy Joe is a Dead Man Walking but no jokes, no jokes.

But I'm not here today to talk about Dumb Black Kamabla and her Waltzing Timmy. I'm here to introduce my new Chief of Staff, a wonderful young man, best genetics, very interested in politics---my very tall son, Barron Trump! Many people say he's better-looking than JFK Jr. Come on out here, Barron! Now be nice. They scare easily.

That's all. Good-bye."

Maybe he’s announcing that he endorses Tim Walz for vice president. He seems to like him

The press conference is to propose a new debate with Harris. I hope she doesn't take the bait, because Trump would never propose anything that wasn't rigged in his favor. She should stick to the previously planned ABC debate and that's it.

Harris doesn't need the debate because her poll numbers are going up. Trump, on the other hand, desperately needs it to turn the momentum around. Also, Democrats shouldn't assume that she would wipe the floor with him in a debate, because he doesn't play by the rules and there is no way to determine who won it. As long as he insults, lies and overwhelms his opponent, then the media and half the country declares him the winner. You can't win a debate against him.

It will be about a debate. He said he was going to make an announcement about it.

I also hope Harris sticks to the original debate. Big fat baby doesn't get to call the shots.

I wouldn't trust any debate with Telemundo. They have been trying to hurt Democrats for a long time. I think they're owned by a Trump supporter.

She should debate his surrogate, Vance, sitting on a sofa and stroking it seductively.

He is going to announce the only way there will be a debate between him and Kabalalalala will be if she shows up in a bikini and chains, at WWF Raw, in front of a full crowd of his supporters, no fact checkers. Elon and Joe Rogan are the moderators. And he gets to lock her up in Gitmo after the debate.

If she refuses any of these terms, he automatically wins the election today

NO TAKE BACKS! MACHO MACHO MAN! CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK WINS!

R157 —no. Same ownership as NBC.

He's been in talks with his buddy Mark Burnett to see what he can do about his falling "ratings."

If Mark Goodson and Bill Todman were still alive, Trump would be "consulting" with them as well.

Can someone please post a link here to the live post, if it gets created. Or are we going to just use this one here?

Or are you simply going to search Google on your own?

What's the point, R162? You'll feel like any woman after having sex with Trump: it'll be over in a minute and it'll leave you unsatisfied.

It’s almost Covfefe time!

He'll announce that he is having Vance chopped up in to Trump steaks.

[quote] If Mark Goodson and Bill Todman were still alive, Trump would be "consulting" with them as well.

And remember to have your leftie neighbours spayed or neutered.

He’s going to take credit for the market riding by over 600 points today. And for destroying the value of WBD!

Here is the link to the live broadcast

Please post updates so those of us who can't watch know what's going on.

Thanks r165, got it. I was actually asking about a live thread here, for us to live-post this conference. I guess we'll just stay here!

R171 oh my god did you see that …and only then seconds into the presser. Wow!

Biden should cut in, announce that he is turning Mar-a-Lago into a new National Park, and tell Trump to GTFO.

Maybe it's new trading cards.

Will be watching the Olympic track & field finals this afternoon instead.

Ha! The caption under the Fox Business YT channel's live feed for this reads: "WATCH LIVE: Trump holds press conference as Harris continues to dodge media - Former President Trump is holding a news conference at Mar-a-Lago as Vice President Harris hasn’t held a press conference or participated in an interview since becoming the Democratic nominee"

Sure that's the reason he's going to get up there and whine, b/c Harris has been campaigning too hard and leaving him in the dust.

It’s a sneak attack—to sell cammo sneakers

Even if Trump comes out and manages to string together some coherent words, it's going to strike everybody as stale.

He's going to use a variation of a racial slur.

No Trump yet, so obviously, you're not missing anything.

I wonder how late he's going to be?

The country is in unsafe, economically and due to gangs on the streets....we don't know how to handle this or any other situation. A lot of bad things coming up, possibly 1929 Depression, very close to that AND a World War, with people in charge who don't know how to handle it, they're laughed at.

He'll bring out some nutty girl claiming to have gotten touched by Coach Walz. The story will have fallen apart before she even stops speaking because nobody vetted her at all. But Trump will insist it's true because he can stand to be the only one accused of raping the underaged

"Our country is in the most dangerous position it's ever been from an economic standpoint and a safety standpoint. We have a lot of bad things coming up ... we could have a Depression ... and we're very close to a World War."

He says there's going to be a depression, we don't know how to handle other countries, they're "gangs."

Radical left at a level nobody's ever seen!

He won't say Kamala's name...

"Heavy into the transgender world, heavy into lots of different worlds."

Hellscape theme maintained. He looks pale.

Predicting depression.

War!, War,! War,!

They brought in a ringer, Waaah, Waaah, Waaah.

He's (Walz) is heavily into the Transgender World

LOL!

He’s rambling like a lunatic.

And forgetting Walz’s name…”Kamala’s picked uh….man”

[quote] As long as he insults, lies and overwhelms his opponent, then the media and half the country declares him the winner.

Doubt this is true anymore. His crap has become tired and predictable, and from what I'm seeing quoted here so far (I'm not watching the presser) today's no exception.

Walz is part of the transgender agenda...

We were given Joe Biden, now we're given someone else, frankly I prefer this someone else but it's fine, she's such a radical leftist and picked a radical left running mate, he has positions so insane it's like they don't exist. He doesn't believe in borders, prisons, etc.

She (note: he won't use her name) doesn't believe in borders, we have a very very sick country right now. The recent stock market drop is just the beginning. Gloom & Doom! Polls have been good for me, we lead in Rasmussen. We lead fairly big in swing states. People want safety and respect for our country, not a culture of no-common sense.

"Stock market crash, it's going to get worse, it's going to get a lot worse."

He says as the Market is up nearly 700 points.

Why is he getting air time to bitch and complain?

He looks like he doesn't even believe in his own lies, like he knows the jig is up.

I have no clue of what he is speaking of.

"She's been the worst Border Czar in world history!"

Someone needs to ask how many Border Czars the world has seen.

I'm starting to feel sick to my stomach -- I don't know how much more of this I can take.

His time is up. Everyone is tired of looking at his anus mouth.

Russia wouldn't have attacked Ukraine if I was President, Israel wouldn't have been attacked last October, yada yada.....

"Millions and millions of dead people!"

Debates -- but not the original.

We have three debate dates, one on NBC, one on ABC, one on Fox: Sept 4th, 10th, and 25th.

HE IS CERTIFIABLE!!

The gibberish and LIES are off the charts all the way to Pluto!

"She can't do an interview!"

Is he on Xanax or something?

He’s spewing a chaotic fusillade of attack points all over the place - Tim Walz Transgender Agenda! WW3! — and he looks unwell.

A younger Trump would have hammered home ONE attack over and over like Maggie Thatcher in a bad mood.

This won’t help him.

He's trying to set Harris up to balk at his debate dates and terms

Claiming that the networks are on board.

That "Say it to my face" line stung him.

This is just another one of his rally rants. GREAT DEPRESSION! WORLD WAR III! SIR STORIES!!

Sad and pathetic old man. We've had sufficient.

She's barely competent! She can't do an interview!

Why were millions of people allowed to come into our country from prisons, insane asylums? From all over the world, prisons being emptied out and sent to our country.

"Prisons are being emptied out into our country!"

How I hate this lying moron.

Prisons and mental institutions are being emptied out all over the world and they're being sent to our border!

Ladies and Gentlemen, please bear witness to a PSYCHOTIC BREAK, LIVE!

She was NASTY to poor Joe Biden in the last campaign, shockingly he appointed her to be his VP (umm, remember what Vance said about you?).....

Does Dump realize Biden is STILL PRESIDENT?

[quote]He’s rambling like a lunatic.

R201, my 96-year old Dad with dementia was just musing on the uses, benefits and negatives of croaker sacks. HE was far more coherent than Trump today.

He knows about those Insane Asylums ……..

Millions of dead people!!!

Send in the people with the white coats to lead him away.

No time for orange make-up today!

"She was nasty to Joe and he still appointed her Vice President."

He needs to be asked if he's read the things JD Vance said about him not that long ago.

My portfolio was up 4% today and I just checked to see if something happened. Now it’s up 4.5%. Bye bye, Donald Trump. You are irrelevant now.

Can someone just yell shut up at this pig? You'll make a million dollars on gofundme the next week who cares if you get fired.

Sputtering like a spoiled child!

I'm Kamala Harris and I approve this message!

The parodies write themselves, people.

He knows he's in serious trouble.

Clearly his handlers have jumped ship to let this shitshow happen

"We had the best boarder in the history of our country."

he's concern-trolling Biden, saying he was pushed out and is now very unhappy, "Crazy Nancy" treated him badly and took his right to run away. She (Kamala) is crashing, she's behind in the polls, she sucked at the border she never visited. Rambling about whether she went there or not. "We had the best border in history under me!", now it's the worst due to incompetence.

I’M AS MAD AS HELL and I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!

[quote]We have a lot of bad things coming up ... we could have a Depression ... and we're very close to a World War.

And an alien invasion! And flesh-eating zombies! And a plague! And massive starvation! And nuclear annihilation!

Jesus H. Christ give it up!

In the words of a Rolling Stone song, "Baby, baby, baby you're out of time."

This, my fellow Americans, is what a psychopath sounds like.

This rant brought to you by Adderall! 💊 💊 💊

She destroyed San Fransisco, she destroyed California! She's to blame for all the troubles.

Well, this is all he has so her debate prep won't be hard. They could say 'how are you?' and he'll answer about the border and the alleged millions of people murdered by illegals.

This guy does a perfect imitation of Trump's rambling.

He's all the past. Nothing about the future.

I'd be worried if he came out and could articulate policy. He can't articulate a syllable.

What happened to SF! It went hell!

Donald is a DL acolyte

Well, he has had nothing to say except complain about how miserable he is. No new news here.

The blacks love me....here it comes.

My 401k has made $1000 in the last 20 minutes. Please, please keep talking.

"White males has gone though the roof."

Depression!

OK -- put a fork in me. I'm done.

I'll catch you guys on the flip side.

Josh Shapiro is a terrible guy, not a good pick, caused a lot of damage (unspecified). The other guys were "good", better than her (note; he has not once mentioned her by name here).

Bad economy right now, we're on the verge of a depression. Does Donald also post on DL at 3AM? It sounds like some of the doomsayers here.

He gets off badmouthing people. Sicko.

He just praised JD Vance, said he's "Fantastic"

"You can check our stats that I just gave you, the numbers are there"

Shit, had I known that I wouldn't have flunked Stats 101.

This is so transparent.

"I had 107,000 people in New Jersey. She had 2,000,"

107,000 people in New Jersey. She can barely get 2,000!

[Quote] She (Kamala) is crashing, she's behind in the polls

If so, I must be living in an alternate universe?

Crowd sizes..."I had 107,000! She had 1000!!!!"

I have 30 times the crowd size!

he said he's had so many people at his rallies, "10 times, 20 times their size" they can't get in. She (Harris) had 1500 people this week, the media lies about the numbers!

They're just going to allow him to completely lie about this - and by such a gross factor. The max capacity of MSG isn't even 100k I think. I hate these fucking pussy reporters.

You KNOW the rally size question got under his skin.

I am exhausted reading this. WE ARE NOT GOING BACK.

So, as I said, they medicated him, he's spouting nonsense as usual, and then when he starts getting lost and nodding off, it'll be over.

He didn't exit Afghanistan when he was the POTUS.

He could have

MSG is 18,000. Yankee Stadium is 45,000.

Lying piece of shit and everyone knows it.

It's insulting that the media lets him get away with this selling this bullshit.

He has the American Media wrapped around his finger.

When he says jump, they say "how high?"

Sickening.

"No arms, no head, no neck."

He isn't saying her name because he can't remember it and he's not sure it's Hilary.

Nobody in the HISTORY OF THE WORLD has had crowd sizes like Trump!

He just said electric trucks are two and a half times heavier than gas, "we'd have to rebuild all of the roads and bridges!" - fact check? Is this remotely true?

HE. IS. INSANE. It's on full display live!

In history, in any country, I've had the biggest crowds.

WTF?

I had hundreds of thousands of people; I had 88 thousand people .... there's a difference

What a tired old bag of shit!

Why can't we hear the questions from the press?

We're leading in GA by a lot, we're leading in PA by a LOT.

R208 knows perfectly well that the Rasmussen polls always skew Republican. +3 on Rasmussen means -3 in reality,

Why do they refuse to just say the real numbers and call him out? Harris' people need to get on the phones with CNN and MSNBC and tear them a new one. They're signaling to the very stupid viewing public that what he's saying has legitimacy.

subtext: I'm scared I'm going to prison

R299 But Elon is still voting for Trump. What a fucking moron.

[quote] Why do they refuse to just say the real numbers and call him out?

Because the American Media is complicit in his LIES.

They shouldn't even be giving his this platform to speak.

He wants "honest elections" in GA and PA, and if they're honest "we'll win them by a lot"....foreshadowing trouble here.

He can't understand how he won so bigly in AL but not in GA - "how is that? the people in GA knew something was up"

At this stage, does anyone with an ounce of brains need to be told that he lies the moment he opens his mouth?

"Of course, there will be a peaceful transition of power, and there was last time."

"I'm letting their convention go through."

What was the stupid question, according to him? I didn't hear it.

R302 He's never had more than 10,000. When the Trump campaign files for permits it's for like 3-7k people. He's saying numbers that are wildly outlandish. Hollywood Bowl max capacity is 17k, it's ABSURD.

I don't think he has his girdle on today. His gunt is hanging out. #SAD!

He can't stop sniffing. Or sweating. What a drugged up hog.

America is done with your whining, fat ass Captain Capslock. Fuck off.

I can't listen to this clown anymore. Ever. He's trying to get out of the debate by making it conditional on doing the Fox news one. When Harris refuses he'll say she's scared.

I'll get the rest of the campaign news filtered through datalounge.

"She's not smart enough to do a news conference!"

She's not smart enough to do a news conference

While cratering in his own news conference....

He looks terrible! (Worse than usual)

The 200 meter final is starting. Who will Donald endorse?

[quote] At this stage, does anyone with an ounce of brains need to be told that he lies the moment he opens his mouth?

Absolutely.

And the POINT is that he should not be allowed to tell these lies.

Especially not to our media, who let his bullshit go unchallenged.

Scrolling this thread instead of watching -- and I'm curious, has Trump mentioned JD Vance even once so far?

"Sir, the Loony Bin's holding on line 1."

The media should have boycotted this. Platforming these lies is making them complicit.

[quote]He looks terrible! (Worse than usual)

Well, at least he hasn't groped one of those American flags behind him...yet.

President Xi of China and I had a great relationship....until COVID. Russia no longer respects us.

R329 Torta he mentioned him once, said he was doing a "fantastic job".

I wish he would say "blacks, Mexicans and women don't know their place, only white men count"

I told you Botswana would win gold! That’s what Harris has done to America! Bad.

"The people of January 6 were treated very unfairly."

Wait, he said no one was killed on Jan 6th?

What about the police guy?

No one was killed on January 6th.

Did he and his handlers really think that this would make him look better?

He's so obsessed with crowd size

"Nobody was killed on January 6th"

Ashli Babbitt was killed because she didn't OBEY THE COMMANDS to back the fuck off.

It's hard to find pictures of my huge crowds!

Thanks, I'm hoping Trump keeps Vance, it's hurting them both

What about the crazy chick shot out of the window?

What's with all the audio problems, donald; do you people not know how to use the equipment?

CUT THE FUCKER OFF and start calling out his lies.

Oh lord. Now comparing his crowd to MLK's crowd.

Girdle off, in front of his house, yelling at the clouds. Loser.

"She has no votes."

WHY doesn't anyone call him out on this? SHE WAS ON THE TICKET IN 2020 AND WON 80 MILLION OF THEM.

R323 Why should she be scared of Fox? Even they can't make him look more competent than her, no way.

Omg! He's claiming to have had larger crowds than MLK, Jr!

I feel like I'm on drugs and this is some weird farce movie. I can't believe this is a close race.

I think her huge crowds are the thing that has finally broken them.

It's just lie after lie after lie. He's such a fucking asshole.

I wish we could hear the questions.

[quote] "The people of January 6 were treated very unfairly."

By all means, let him re-write history now.

Never mind all the video evidence that happened that day, RIGHT MEDIA PEOPLE???

Let's just ignore all the violence and destruction that happened on January 6, 2021.

And instead let Trump lie on national television about the danger that he and they put this country in on January 6.

American Media is disgusting for letting him address the public.

Just tuned in. I haven’t seen him in so long, and he is such a parody of himself. It would be comical if he weren’t running for President.

He reminds me of Billy in the series finale of Six Feet Under where he is was droning on and on and making no sense to Brenda. She died to escape the insanity.

Andrea Dworkin even wanted Roe v Wade gone, she said it's terrible sir it needs to go back to the states it's what everyone believed and I did it strongly

[Quote]I’m told that the GOP is getting some devastating internal polls

Ohio in tossup status would be nice ...

Stephen Miller yesterday on Ari Melber's show, couch fucker stalking Air Force 2, and now this hot mess. Who the hell is running this campaign???

"You have to speak up. This is a very big room, worth $18 million."

R355, Fox would stack that deck so hard. You know they would. "Next question, Why are you so awesome Mr. PRESIDENT?" "Next question, Why are you such a disgrace to America, Mizzz Harris?"

She's wise to pass. Fox is a MAGA propaganda channel, full stop.

[quote] "The people of January 6 were treated very unfairly."

Was that before or after they tried to kill the Vice-President and Speaker of the House?

So if Kamala calls a press conference will the news channels give her an hour of air time? She needs to do that then. Fight fire with fire.

"The Minnesota Gentleman."

He can't remember Walz' name

[quote] Why should she be scared of Fox?

That's what Trump would say, not Harris. But why should she debate on a right wing news site?

How can you have an abortion after birth? He said Democrats want abortions in the 8th month, 9th month or after? WTF!

R372 I don't think so, if they play it that obviously it makes her look even better. She should show up and treat them like children.

Cut the mic or he'll still be talking at this time tomorrow.

Okay, this diarrhea diatribe is utterly ridiculous, I'm out

[quote] So if Kamala calls a press conference will the news channels give her an hour of air time?

Of course not.

Our media is controlled by Republicans and the right-wing.

Donald Trump Gives a Rambling, Unhinged Press Conference: Why that’s bad for Harris.

I can't say what country because I'll get them in trouble? What the fuck does that nonsense mean? Every liberal wanted to abolish Roe vs Wade? What's next? Martin Luther King wrote him a letter that said drill baby drill?

Puny cocklet energy.

"Is it in, yet?" bed partner energy.

Flaccid, with a full diaper.

So lucid! Let's give him the nuclear codes!

Ok he just mentioned her name for the first name, and of course mispronounced it.

He says she's terrible to Israel and the Jews.

He'll be there talking so long that he'll shit his pants. That will clear the room!

He’s 45 minutes into this ramble, has he actually “announced” anything?

Again with the vile lies about murdering newborns!

The Taliban?!

OMG. All the networks are giving Trump FREE TIME FOR A CAMPAIGN SPEECH.

THEY ARE AS STUPID AS HE SAYS!

Understand, that THIS is why the American Media wants Trump to be President.

Because then this will happen again, every day.

He makes money for them.

He brings in viewers.

This is exactly what the media wants. People tuning in for the DAILY SHIT SHOW.

They have sold out our Democracy for %%%%.

"People were falling off lifts three times the size of the World Trade Center."

"She's been very bad to Israel and she's been very bad to Jewish people."

That will come as news to her Jewish husband and stepchildren, I would think.

They are giving him rope with which to hang himself politically, no?

Why doesn't the press call him out on his lies? They are useless.

He says he knew Willie Brown and that he said terrible things about Harris, didn't like her.

[quote] He’s 45 minutes into this ramble, has he actually “announced” anything?

He doesn't need to announce anything. It's a long PSA about the dangers of untreated or poorly treated mental illness.

From what I'm reading here, he's doing his same old shtick. Will this fly in the current climate? This might be a turning point where he just kind of sheds the "undecideds."

R399 Ah so they've changed from Willie was fucking her in the same room as his wife to Willie hated her guts.

Those flags and podium have been there since he was POTUS. He's one twisted fucker.

THey're trying to salvage a disintegrating campaign and a disintegrating candidate. He is fucked.. Wouldn't surprise me if this news conference was his idea to rescue his faltering campaign and next step will be to start firing his campaign staff. Watch. J.D. Vance is unprincipled and nuts, but he isn't totally done. I bet he is in some room somewhere doubled up trying not to puke and shit his pants at the same tie, because he knows this is fucked up[. Vance knows. And he also knows there is no way to salvage it. Either Vance will continue to go off on his own doing crazy shit attempting to keep things going, or he will distance himself from trump. He's probably talking to Theil begging for a way out.

No lie: Psycho Donnie gets a literal thrill from speaking of killing people, newborn babies , it seems, in particular.

Who the fuck is he to say someone should have their "brains examined?" You're ranting like a lunatic and need a fucking lobotomy.

I don’t know why he keeps saying that Democrats also wanted abortion returned to the states.

Why don’t any of them push back? Tell him he’s a fucking moron to his face. What a bunch of feckless cunts!

I'm so offended by his comment that the mother and her doctor decide whether to kill a newborn baby. WTF. It's unhinged. It's LIES. It's foul misogyny and it makes hospitals a target for our homegrown teenage terrorists.

This is the new disciplined Trump. Today is the day he became president!

It's a free campaign speech, r405. He wants to command the networks like he did as President, and he's succeeding.

This is all sickening and infuriating.

[quote]Why don’t any of them push back?

It's an invited press corps. If they piss him off, they won't be invited back.

He's discouraging mail-in voting. Again.

That thudding sound you hear is millions of Republican ground game worker's heads exploding.

Strong vibes of The Penguin calling a Gotham presser.

So much of his batshit rambling today is going to end up in Kamala’s ads.

[quote] I'm so offended by his comment that the mother and her doctor decide whether to kill a newborn baby. WTF. It's unhinged. It's LIES. It's foul misogyny and it makes hospitals a target for our homegrown teenage terrorists.

This is why our country is in the state that it is in.

He spews lies and propaganda which incite hate and violence in this country.

And our media allows him to do it.

They are COMPLICIT.

R413, I love you. MArry me! I just sit tea all over my keyboard laughing so hard.

In past years this would have given me a sinking feeling—they're letting him get away with free propaganda!—but with the surge of the Democrats that we're seeing, it just seems pathetic. I can't imagine this will get traction outside a minority. I agree with the posters saying he's being given enough rope to hang himself. A turning point.

Raving like a loon is "succeeding"? He's always had the nut job vote locked up.

Just got in and turned on and FWIW he looks dreadful, aged about ten years facially. Stimulants account surely for his manic fluency.

I have it on CC, but I can't stand his face and gestures any longer. He is disgusting.

HOW MUCH TIME ARE THEY GOING TO GIVE THIS LUNATIC?!

I'd rather watch QVC.

His attacks on Kamala's intelligence are going to spur women to vote against him.

How can they act like he's a normal person?

He's contradicted himself several times. He really has lost his mind.

He's just so,,,,,,,weird.

[quote] So if Kamala calls a press conference will the news channels give her an hour of air time?

Don’t hold your breath waiting for her to agree to do that. She’s doing great without answering any questions by the press or allowing the nation to hear what she thinks.

When are we going to be rid of this man?

This performance is certainly making a strong case that Trump should be in charge of the nuclear codes again.

R415WTF would want to be invited back to the roach and mice infested mildew smelling shithole? I read somewhere that he upped the price to join mar A Lago. Are people really that stupid? Maybe foreigners would pay, but that place is really a shithole. It's shappy, and hasn't been updated in decades. I think they wait for hurricanes so they can bill FEMA for redecorating.

LOL He called Newsom Newscum. Is this new?

He'll live to be 98, mark my words.

"I see her going way down in the polls now."

He really said "What a stupid question"?

Why does she need to? This moron is doing a better job campaigning for her than she could ever do herself.

I can't wait to see how NYT spins this.

Praying for a successful assassination attempt right about NOW!

R443, don't forget the bedbugs at Mar a Lago.

[quote] His attacks on Kamala's intelligence are going to spur women to vote against him.

No. Women hate women.

"With Hillary Clinton, I could have done things to her that would make your head spin."

He looks horrible and he's spewing all kinds of batshit. On and on and on and on and on and on and on.

I don't think today gained Trump too many new voters, and it might have lost him a few.

[quote] LOL He called Newsom Newscum. Is this new?

I hadn’t heard that one before. We’ll see if Trump continues to call him that.

MAGAts love his made up bullshit, though. 11-12 month old fetuses being aborted? Don't tell them that's impossible! They feel that liberals do that, all of us, so it MUST be true. He loves dictators like Xi, Kim Jong Un, and Putin even though they hate America and are on record saying they want to destroy us? That's totally ok he lives them! Pedophiles and their friends ought to all die, too, except their beloved President Trump, who was Jeffrey Epstein's bestie!

He can tell them any old bullshit and they will believe it and ask for more. It feels right to them. Facts don't matter, only what their Orange Jesus tells them.

The MAGA base is about "75%" of the country, he said.

He's going to talk all day, isn't he?

(Five hours to prime time, and counting.)

See, I like this better than the way the network news show cover him. Because they edit and cover up a lot of his lunacy, and here we can see it, witness it live and uncut. I hope a lot of people see it. Because his handlers will edit it before it's available on Youtube.

[quote] His attacks on Kamala's intelligence are going to spur women to vote against him.

He mitigated it by saying that he thinks Biden is dumb also.

[quote]NECK VAGINA!

You're too formal, R398. Trump's got a Neck Pussy.

SHE DESTROYED CALIFORNIA!!!

Now he says Hillary is VERY smart?

"When I was President, I totally protected the guns."

NBC hasn't preempted the Olympics.

Wait, I thought that --I-- destroyed California?!

"At levels you have never seen." He really does have a limited vocabulary.

The guns, The blacks, whatever ...

I can't believe he's still rambling.

CNN cutting away to fact check.

This is fabulous! Just wait for those poll numbers tomorrow Donnie. Networks are shrewd. Let him talk. None of the news channels are cutting way. They know this is fucking gold. I love it!!

He predicted a depression and stock market crash in 2020 too.

How do you have an abortion after the baby is born? For the love of God, will some reporter ask a damn fallow up!

[quote] His attacks on Kamala's intelligence are going to spur women to vote against him.

That's what people said when he was caught on tape telling Billy Bush about how he "grabs them by the pussy."

Women still voted for him.

Some even made shirts saying that he could grab THEM by the pussy.

Don't overestimate the intelligence of many women.

I even know women in high corporate positions, who support Trump because they're "Christian," and Trump is a "Christian."

Wild guess here, r409:

BECAUSE HE'S A LYING PSYCHOPATH.

Anything unpopular of his he claims the Democrats wanted.

CNNs fact check on his crowd size claims is vague and pathetic

Damn, I can't wait to hear what Walz has to say about this freakshow.

This is like a free 1 hour ad all the news media is being hoodwinked into doing.

Maggie (Habermann?) asking about the Presidential Pardons Commission.

More like an in-kind contribution to the Harris campaign, R470.

The "announcement " is, "yes, I'm crazier than you thought."

[quote] vague and pathetic

That's CNN's niche since 2016.

[quote] This is like a free 1 hour ad all the news media is being hoodwinked into doing.

They knew what he was doing, and they gave it to him any way.

Because their corporate bosses MADE THEM cover this travesty.

Any person who considers themselves a true "journalist" should be ashamed to have covered this propaganda "news" conference of lies.

Trump is like his admired dictators including Hitler in yet another aspect:

He can go on and on and on and on.... It's called logorrhea.

CNN is absurd. They give him all that time and finally cut away? They did Vance a solid the other day when he was speaking somewhere in Michigan to no crowd at all. He droned on and on and CNN allowed it. But when Walz was speaking in Eau Claire the other day they kept cutting away...to comment on what Walz said! God I hate that. I think I'm gonna spend more time on C Span I don't need the filter of bullshit CNN and the rest use.

Okay, I'm out.

A nap is a much better use of my time.

I’m thankful I don’t have to listen, and just get a play-by-play here.

No, R422. Women are pissed and even if they don't publicly band together their exit poll numbers will be off the charts on election day.

R466, I believe women will come out in record numbers for Kamala. This election is shaping up to be Men vs Women. Don't underestimate how pissed women are at the state of women's rights (or lack thereof) in this country.

The dictator's playbook - incite fear of the 'other'. That's all he has left. Depression, WW3, infanticide, mental patients pouring over the border, communists.

I'll believe it when I see it, r481.

You guys fell for this like a bunch of suckers. I told you he just wanted attention.

[quote] This election is shaping up to be Men vs Women.

I think you're overestimating the number of men who are (still) enchanted with Trump.

Republican woman are not budging, I know several through work and friends of friends, not a single one has left him. Kind of a daddy thing with them, they want a "strong" man to be president. I am not kidding, that's what they say. Even if I point out what a weak pussy he is.

[quote] Republican woman are not budging

But their numbers are dwindling.

MSNBC just said 'he agreed to a peaceful transfer of power'. JESUS! Play the full clip. He did not say that. He went right to hinting at election fraud and then claimed that Jan 6 was a peaceful transfer.

What percentage of Social Security beneficiaries actually pay taxes on their benefits? I doubt there are as many as donald wants us to believe.

The orange shitstain said what?

R439 your first para is perfect.

Religious people aren't leaving him either, R487.

There is NO WAY IN HELL they would ever vote for a Democrat, because of Democratic support for abortion and gay rights.

This is why his MAGA base is solid.

Nothing he says or does will ever change their mind about voting for him.

So we have to stop assuming that women and gay people will leave him in droves for his views on women's reproductive rights and gay marriage. They won't leave him.

And there are even black people and other minorities who are standing by him, despite whatever horrible and racist things he says.

I honestly don't get it, why people support him.

It will forever be a mystery to me.

I plan to start collecting late in 2025 and my SS benefits will be taxable R491.

He complained about the Black Journalist AV issues, but the moron couldn’t even get mics for the questions - I watched on the NYT feed and there wasn’t a single intelligible question. Loser.

[quote]But their numbers are dwindling.

Republican women I know have not budged unless they bailed on him the first time. But there is no dwindling of support that I have seen if they were all in on him the first time. In fact they seem more adamant about voting for him. Things like Stormy Danials they write off as every president does that they just don't get caught and "I dont care about that anyways" attitude.

It’s a 49.8% vs. 48.5% type of election year. I give her the better odds.

R494, it’s because we have a two party system. People who are against the Democrats will support the Republican candidate, and people who are against the Republicans will support the Democratic candidate.

Yep, we can't ASSUME women or any other group will suddenly leave him. No matter what he does or says that would hurt them, they stick with him like a fat frou married to her pen pal prison husband.

This is about the margins, people on the fence AND truing out a record registered voter count. We can do it but we cant be complacent. It's not a sure thing, get out there and help.

I heard a woman say "I'm a Christian and he's a good Christian so I support him and love him". Stupid people gotta stupid.

Say it all to her face you fat orange fuck.

At this point I don't see this as a close election. The posters here predicting one, and citing strong support among his base, have to take into account the incredible surge in Democratic donations, campaign volunteers, effective pushback, and—this will become more and more apparent—poll numbers. What is the Trump campaign doing to counter this? We've just seen a shining example of the same-old-same-old rhetoric that has stopped working for him. Vance isn't helping at all. They've reached their ceiling.

Anything can happen, but as of now the Rs haven't retooled to meet the moment and it's hard to see them doing it in the next few months.

R483, you'll see it on 11/05 with specific demo info provided on 11/06.

R485, I'm talking about specific issues which directly affect female voters. Others obviously disagree but there seems to be an urgency, specific to women, about this election.

R487 and R494, and R498, what one does in the voting booth is not necessarily in sync with what one tells family, friends and co-workers.

Remember, it's his freaks that will never leave him, remember that woman that said she was not going to wear a mask during Covid because she was covered in Jesus's blood? That's MAGA in a nutshell.

Fat stoned and lying is no way to go through life, Dump.

[quote] It’s a 49.8% vs. 48.5% type of election year. I give her the better odds.

Keep in mind though, with any small margin like that, within Harris’ percentage are literally millions of excess votes in California that pump up her national number but gain her zero additional electoral votes. In the 2020 election, 3.2% of the national vote was the excess votes for Biden (5.1 mil) in California.

All I can say is, Mommy make it stop. Please let's go back to covering VP Harris and the Happy Man at their joyous loud rallies so we can wash away the scary bad feelings from the Scary Bad Man today! I feel like I need to take an ativan and a shower.

[quote]what one does in the voting booth is not necessarily in sync with what one tells family, friends and co-workers.

No, that's not the case with the MAGA women I know, they are very out and proud to vote for Dump. They are the ones who keep bringing it up in fact.

They talk like he's the only logical choice and even the most low key in the bunch still say things like they dont understand how anyone could be a Democrat.

r505 not to mention how many voters he's lost -- to COVID and/or age -- since his 2016 win.

Quit intentional to control the sound feed from the press pool. He didn’t help him one bit.

R512, I know a few women who want Kamala but will not voice that opinion among their Trump-supporting friends. I also know an elderly female neighbor who told me in '20 she voted for Trump (and will again in '24) then swore me to secrecy because our neighbor (her best friend) is a progressive. You just never know what people are thinking no matter what they say out loud.

MAGA women were never gettable. Forget about them. Expecting them to vote for Dems is like expecting Fran Lebowitz to go MAGA

The women who will decide the election are not MAGA loons. They are independent voters, first time voters, moderate Republicans.

Republican Catholics are the single-issue voters: Abortion rights.

Republican Protestants are the doctrinal types: One is a Christian if one declares a belief in Jesus. That's it. "Good works" are irrelevant. "Not sinning" is irrelevant. That is how they overlook Trump's crimes, behaviors, and lunacy. One can talk the talk, but need not walk the walk.

Same old same old.

The atmosphere, the game and the money has all changed, and yet, Trump is singing the same tune.

Who would be persuaded by a whiny "Kamala is a ringer! Whhaaah!" line of attack?

At least he changed the color of his foundation

Fumbling toward irrelevancy

Even the freepers weren't impressed with their orange god today.

[quote]...something just seems off. Maybe the assassination attempt has messed with him more than we all thought. We act like he is superhuman...we want him to be...but he’s not. I also am confident he’ll adjust and be back better than ever.

[quote]“Please talk about policy. Stop worrying about how many people come to the rallies.”

[quote]He loses people with these long, rambling statements. It’s like tuning in to hear a band play your favorite song and then they go on some stoned out 20 minute guitar solo

[quote]Sounds like he is rambling a bit. I just wish he would do a little bit of prep and focus specifically on the key issues (border, economy, crime, inflation) instead of trying to squeeze in every talking point in a disjointed manner.

The gender gap is not necessarily men vs. women. The more accurate breakdown is men’s view of women vs. women’s view of women. A difference with a distinction.

We hat about Hannibal Lecter?!

Kamala has got Gen Z who weren't going to vote at all if it was Biden/Trump. All they care about is Palestine and BLM.

[quote] that's not the case with the MAGA women I know

Are you their family, friends or co-worker? Because you may have just proved R506's point.

[quote]Republican Catholics are the single-issue voters: Abortion rights.

But I know a lot of women who are NOT religious at all and still VERY Trumpian. They could care less about abortion, to them they want "a man" to run the country because only a man can be strong enough to compete with other world leaders. In their own words, they just dont trust other woman to be president. They all have major daddy issues. They all have wealthy husbands who support them.

Yet the ones I know are all Boomer age and bitch and moan about how women are under paid and how it's still a man's world.

Gen Z is definitely coming out for Kamala, especially women 18-29. Zoomer men not quite as much, purportedly for the reasons R527 mentioned. They want a real man in this age of gender fluidity. Since there isn't one they are settling for Trump.

^ I see these trashy looking gals around town dressed like Boebert and Cro-Marge with their fake bonde extensions that are likely not church ladies. Guess who they're voting for?

R305, He knows the reality. He's simply getting his supporters ready to cry "THEFT!" when he legit loses both states.

My late friend watched only FOX. She was therefore shocked when Obama won, as FOX said that Romney was leading all polls.

R527 That's an issue within your bubble. Most woman are not married to rich husbands. Most women work and their income is needed. Most women do not have major daddy issues. Most women under 50 care very much about abortion. Most women are not boomer age.

[quote]Now MSNBC cuts away.

I'm surprised MSNBC aired it at all. Usually, they just say that Trump's speaking but they'll only air it if he actually has something to say, other than his regular ramblings.

Even though Trump is an idiot, still, I'm astounded that Trump and his team weren't prepared for Kamala in case an 80 year old Biden dropped dead.

I actually believe Trump is stunned by this turn of events.

Between being old, PTSD from the assassination attempt, trying to wrap his head around Biden dropping out and Harris so solidly consolidating the Dems behind her, and the favorable Harris polls, he's in Random Neurons Overactivated Mode.

That's why he's immobilized and sticks to a worn-out script.

Did anybody else catch how he tried to excuse his not being out on the road because he wanted the Dems to have their Convention?

That doesn't start until August 19th!

[quote] Even the freepers weren't impressed with their orange god today.

They’ve always considered him the imperfect vessel, so I wouldn’t put much stock in that.

Best to watch all election season activities uninterrupted on C-SPAN (no cutaways, no commercial breaks).

[quote] Even though Trump is an idiot, still, I'm astounded that Trump and his team weren't prepared for Kamala in case an 80 year old Biden dropped dead.

I don’t think they were unprepared. I think they were just giddy about being able to run against Biden and it’s hard to come down from that. With Biden, they could just hammer one message, him being senile. With Harris, they have a bunch of things they are throwing against her and Walz, but it gets diminished by using such a variety. We’ll have to wait to see if they end up picking one or two things to focus on.

R466, no, "women" didn't vote for him. Just the white ones, mostly white women without a college degree

Here’s the top story on Fox News at 4pm 🥸

R522, Thanks, but no thanks. Those people are clearly even more deluded than is Trump.

He should do "prep" and discuss "policy"?! He should stop "talking about crowd size"?!

Do they not know they follow a narcissistic deranged psychopath?!

The only "prep" Fat Orange can deal with has an "H" in its title.

Lol!

Scaramucci- "....he gets out there and does some Fidel Castro stuff..."

The respected Marquette Poll released today has Harris beating Trump by 8 points among likely voters. For reference, Obama beat McCain by 7.2. The poll was finished before Walz was announced as her running mate.

Many women who are married to wealthy men reside in the suburbs. You're treating these women as if they're arm candy with zero investment in the country. Middle and Upper-Middle class suburban mothers may be stay-at-home mothers, but they usually hold a degree, and they are not happy with what's been going on in regard to their loss of rights. White suburban women and WOC are going to push her over the top. As for White female Trump supporters? I'll bet Kamala does take votes away from Trump. I can't explain it but there's something in the air.

[quote] He knows the reality. He's simply getting his supporters ready to cry "THEFT!" when he legit loses both states.

Which is why is fucking PISSES ME OFF that all of the major networks and cable networks gave him ONE FREE HOUR of air time to send out propaganda to his MAGAT base all around the country.

Instead of speaking to small crowds in single locations, he got to broadcast his lies and propaganda to "his people" all across the country.

Now they'll be whipped up in a frenzy of hate, as if they needed any more of it.

The American Media is fucking GARBAGE.

And keep in mind that if we had a batshit crazy Democratic nominee who tried to do the same thing, the media would NEVER have allowed it.

You're suggesting a Silent, or, if you will, Secret Trump vote, r542?

Ooops, r542, I meant a Silent or Secret Harris vote?

NYT tomorrow: "Trump's unhinged rant seems to be a strange strategy to attract new voters. But maybe it is genius."

Almost 600 posts (a full thread) and the only bit of news ended up being him agreeing to debate her. Yeah, it was nothing, as predicted.

R538 don’t keep a closed mind—what a waste…. It is always worth a minute or two to read / understand where these other folks are coming from. On another thread, so many posters stated their refusal to read any opinion piece from the NYT. In particular people like Ross Douthat and Bret Stephens. IMHO, they are worth reading if only to know where the JD Vances of the world are trying to go. More info the better…be prepared.

[quote] Now they'll be whipped up in a frenzy of hate

Not according to R522.

Yes, R549, I feel like I'm missing out on some very informed opinions by not reading something like this

Yes, R545. I mentioned in another post a female neighbor who is a registered Dem voted for Trump in '20 and will again in '24. She pretends she voted for Biden so her progressive friend will not blast her about it.

I feel the same holds true for many vocal Trump supporters. I feel Kamala will takes votes away from Trump, which may not be reflected in the polls or the comment sections but will be reflected in the voting booth.

Your neighbor probably registered as a Democrat so that she could vote for George Wallace in the primaries back in 1968.

R552 the bot did it better, with humor. Try harder. It won’t kill you to read more…

It won't kill you to find a better employer, R555. The one that won't ask you to do the PR disaster control on anonymous message boards.

You work for Fox, don’t you?

If he shows up to that debate, I hope he has a meltdown on stage

R554 not to be a pendant, but Wallace never ran as a Democrat in 1968–he ran for the American Independent Party.

I hope he simply walks it

R552 This is the joker who wrote why we miss WASPs

[quote] not to be a pendant

We didn't think you were one.

Apparently he said no one died on January 6th. LOL.

How long did he talk? I left at 45 minutes to watch the Olympics.

The knowledge that millions of people will vote for this malignant half wit is so fucking depressing. What has happened to this country to elevate such a severely mentally disordered autocrat?

I need Liza to post something.

You're going to prison, donald; and afterwards to Hell.

He doesch't have my vote, honey!

God, it's so damn sad when he starts rating Kamala's intelligence, or anybody's intelligence. It's just this sad little cry for help. Please don't think I'm as stupid and useless as daddy and mommy thought I was. Please. I'm smart, dammit, smarter than them all!

“Well that was some weird shit.”

Very disappointed in MSNBC that they showed the whole shit show. I turned the channel.

I don't pay taxes on my S.S. but they do deduct for Medicare. That asshole doesn't even understand the program. And BTW, what happened today is t hat they could have done a press release saying Trump would debate on September 10. But instead Trump ever the media savvy celebrity, decided to use the occasion for a news conference. But it had to be for reporters he liked from news outlets he trusted. And not one soul from any of the networks like CNN who covered this charade, even questioned the way it went down. I hope Kamala will do likewise. And if she is confronted and criticized tell them, " Trump did it and you didn't mind. " He stages these canned events, he lies with abandon, and then the so called fact checkers come in after the fact when it has no impact. No one cares what a fact checker says an hour or two after the event. Look.. Trump is desperate. He is going to throw everything he has at this election. Get ready for the dirtiest , most brutal campaign you have ever seen. No standards of decency. And they will do anything to win. Because Trump does not want to go to jail. And he has a bunch of extremists who are attached to him who will do whatever it takes. We have to work hard, and make sure our side has the money to run the ads, and we have to knock on doors write post cards make phone calls and do whatever we can. (I nearly vomited when he talked about how he was found not guilty by the brilliant judge in Florida.)

[quote] Love Dubya!

[quote] —Ms. Obama, speaking relatively

Back off, bitch!

He's mine!

MSNBC cutie Garret Haake was there; I think he asked the question to which Trump replied "well that's a stupid question."

578 bad hot take… At this point, sunlight is the best disinfectant.*

*That is a phrase long-employed by state & local govt lawyers. It’s a good one.

Even if he loses, do folks really believe he’s going to prison?

No I don't think he will go to prison but we can hope.

If I’ve learned anything about him over this eternal eight years, it’s that he lashes out like this when he gets some news he doesn’t like, and he throws one of these hissy fits to try and will his delusions into reality.

As a guess, he got some internal polling that shows him losing. Bigly.

R584 at that point who cares? He’s cooked 🌞

Mmph...

Meghan McCain @MeghanMcCain 3h

Vice President Harris is going to win.

I want to google a succinct description of what transpired this afternoon (I didn't watch), but I don't want to give him any views.

The nice thing, R579, is I don’t think Kamala is afraid to meet Don-old on the low road.

VOTN, I agree, his polling was heading in the wrong direction, but I also think he was seriously pissed off at the huge crowds and the enthusiasm that greeted Harris and Walz.

R589 good to know. We support your efforts.

All things conspired to drive the Donald into a blithering meltdown!

R579 “And not one soul from any of the networks like CNN who covered this charade.” That is where you’re mistaken. It has been, and will continue to be, dissected six ways to Sunday by many.

Why do you concede the offense so quickly and obviously?

Puts him back in the news cycle, for better or worse.

[quote] I want to google a succinct description of what transpired this afternoon

I suppose this was inevitable.

Media coverage is not his friend these days.

On 2016 many people found him a refreshing change. “He says it like it is!”

Now it’s more of the same tired act. Just crazier and more angry.

R549, I'm not newly arrived off the turnip truck. I knew what they are back in 2016.

If any normal American adult does not yet know of the racism, the misogyny, the avarice, the factual ignorance, the utter lack of intellectual curiosity, the faux-Christianity, the violent "patriotism," and the manifold hypocrisy, they've been in a coma.

[quote] I'm not newly arrived off the turnip truck

But did you fall out of a coconut tree?
