Trump and Harris to debate Sept 10 on ABC; Trump says he wants two more

In a rambling news conference at his Palm Beach, Florida, residence, Trump said he wanted additional debates on Sept 4 and Sept 25 that would air on Fox and NBC.

He won't want those debates after Harris wipes the floor with him on the 10th.

Trump is in for a shock.

Wasn't September 10th the plan all along?

MAGA-world is crashing and burning...

"Former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said Thursday that former President Trump’s “self-announced” press conference shows the GOP presidential nominee is “panicking.”

In a post on the social platform X, the ex-Trump aide said she suspects the former president is frustrated by the positive press attention Vice President Harris has gotten recently and wants to take back the spotlight.

“Re: Trump’s self-announced press conference today at 2 pm: He’s panicking,” wrote Grisham, who also served as White House communications director and as former first lady Melania Trump’s chief of staff and press secretary.

“I’ve seen this play many times,” she continued. “He thinks his team is failing him & no one can speak better/’save’ his campaign/defend him but him. He hates the coverage Harris is getting & thinks only he can fix it.”

https://www.yahoo.com/news/ex-white-house-aide-says-170158224.html

Sounds like she knows her former boss very well...just like Tillertson, Mattis, Kelly, McMaster, Cohn, Milley, Esper, et al, most have said he is an "idiot with the understanding of a fifth grader"....

“See you at Faux or not at all”

Oops. Another MAGA-flail fail.

And that unscheduled, hurriedly arranged presser was pure stream of consciousness meltdown.

As the Harris campaign said, “Tump took a break from taking a break, but on a pair of pants and had a meltdown.”

I can't wait.

Remember the look on the EU foreign ministers' faces when Harris said "Russia is a big country and Ukraine is a small country"

They were stunned in silence that she would make such a simplistic comment.

She leads Trump 42% to 37%

Our MAGA friends will dispute this poll. It doesn’t fit what they “feel”.

"We actually had more people," Trump said. "But I'm ok with it, because I liked Dr Martin Luther King."

He’s nuts.

Looking forward to Trump facing more humiliation.

Can we put bets on Trump losing ?

Sure thing , baby.

More backpedaling, “I didn’t say that”. So weak.

I can't wait.

Me too, but not for the same reasons. :)

They were stunned in silence that she would make such a simplistic comment.

Yes. I'm sure Trump, known for articulate nature, and attention to detail, is going to wipe the floor with her. ;) Come on now, you know how bad he's going to screw this up, don't you?

I'll bet that 1) She significantly outperforms him in terms of composure and answering the actual questions, and 2) he's going to launch a racist/sexist diatribe against her. This will probably be the final nail in his campaign coffin.

I wish they’d debate 10 times! Harris needs to be asked some questions by someone because the media certainly hasn’t been doing it!

Trump HAD to because he realized that he’d painted himself into a corner and was going to be ranting to the faithful for 90 minutes on Fox ENTERTAINMENT while Harris was going to be speaking to the rest of the nation uninterrupted for 90 minutes on ABC … this is the first of MANY times he’s going to cave and backdown over the next 90 days …. He can feel things slipping away and he’s scared!

I wish they’d debate 10 times! Harris needs to be asked some questions by someone because the media certainly hasn’t been doing it!

Just like the hard-hitting questions that Trump dodges on his Faux call ins? lol.

I just finished listening to Trump's press conference at Mar-a-Lago. Not surprisingly, fact-checking points out numerous false statements in Trump's remarks. I won't cover all of them, but I was taking notes so the quotation marks represent Trump's own words.

(1) Trump indicated that "no one was killed on January 6." False.

(2) Trump stated verbatim that "Biden weaponized the DOJ against me." False.

(3) Trump stated that Kamala Harris "mounted a coup against Joe Biden." False.

(4) Trump indicated that "the 2020 election was a peaceful transfer of power." False. In his attempt to overturn 2020 election results, Trump litigated his claim before 60 judges, many of whom were Trump appointees. Every case was either denied or dismissed. I could go on but the fact remains that Trump and his campaign are in a free-fall, and all that he has in his arsenal of ammunition are ad hominem attacks against his opponents, his palpable anger and fear, and his usual name-calling and finger-pointing. At this point, Trump and his campaign are gasping for air.

Why is not feasible for a debate weekly across the networks right up until Nov 5th, multiple locations alternate VP/Presidential nominee.

US government are actively embroiled in two wars, close to escalating into serious cross boarder major conflicts.

An economy still poisoned by a pandemic, cost of living crise, an unstable US labour market.

Cost of future net zero implementation.

Let the US electorate be privy to GOP/DEM policy as it evolves to market forces, the pressures of foreign instability.

Lets see what lurks under the campaigns, VP nominees fingernails.

In a rambling news conference at his Palm Beach, Florida, residence, Trump said he wanted additional debates on Sept 4 and Sept 25 that would air on Fox and NBC. He did not detail specific terms, such as whether there would be an audience, and his campaign later clarified that he had mixed up which network would host which debate.

So besides his recent "senior moments" where he said our cities will be beseeched by "marbs" and that we must "fund the place", Trump now has anther mental meltdown where he can't remember which network he wants another debate on....pitiful...

And as one of our MAGA-friends here likes to say, isn't this bigly "flippety, floppety?

I mean, he agrees to a debate on ABC on Sep 10th, then when Harris replaces Biden he chickens out and refuses that date and says it must be on Fox, and now he's back to agreeing to the original Sep 10th on ABC...

That's more backflips than Simone Biles did this week....someone give him a Gold Medal for Flip-Flopping - he'd probably be proud of it...

Banthu

I can't wait.

Remember the look on the EU foreign ministers' faces when Harris said "Russia is a big country and Ukraine is a small country"

And remember when she said about hurricane Florence:

*“one of the wettest the US has ever seen from the standpoint of water”*

Oh, that was Trump...

Waiting for the inevitable poster who posts an anodyne comment of Harris as and example of 'word salad' and why she will lose the debate like this:

“This election is about a question that we each face. We each face a question in this election,” Kamala Harris said.

While look above:

"happened to turn Black," Trump said: "You'll have to ask her that question, because she's the one that said it, I didn't say it.... To me it doesn't matter. But to her, from her standpoint, I think it's very disrespectful to both, really, whether it's Indian or Black, I think it's very disrespectful to both."

Racist uncle babbling.

I’m sure Don’s new found willingness to go on ABC has nothing to do with the latest polls showing him down 8 and Cook moving NV, GA and AZ back to “toss up”, could it?

No sir, no panic in Orange man - land.

itsonlyrocknroll

Why is not feasible for a debate weekly across the networks right up until Nov 5th, multiple locations alternate VP/Presidential nominee.

It's feasible, but it would be a waste of time. Trump doesn't actually lay out any policies in debates, he just stands and lies.

Harris only needs to expose him once and then he'll be left floundering.

Trump saw the polls!

He caved!

He caved!

LOL! Again!

The old, weird felon will soon fade back into obscurity and irrelevance as his last chance to destroy US democracy looks to be slipping away fast.

I wonder if Trump crashes and burns in the debate with Harris, if the GOP will be smart enough to replace its geriatric nomination as the Dems did with Biden. Doing so could well stir up the Rep party in the same way the Dems came alive when Harris replaced Biden on their ticket.

Unlike Biden, Trump cares about nobody and nothing other than himself. He will stay with the sinking ship, but in true Trump style he will have scapegoats already identified, to blame for his failure so his faithfull can go on believing and donating to Trumps legal fees.

Ex-White House aide says ‘self-announced’ presser shows Trump is ‘panicking’

https://www.yahoo.com/news/ex-white-house-aide-says-170158224.html

Trump thinks his team is failing him, and only he can save the campaign. That is why he "self-announced."

“He thinks his team is failing him & no one can speak better/’save’ his campaign/defend him but him. He hates the coverage Harris is getting & thinks only he can fix it.”

Keep talking, Donnie! The more he talks the more his polls fall!! Nothing angers Trump more than (1) the truth, and (2) not being the center of attention. In that order.

Question: when he loses and the riots he will cause are over, do you think he’ll leave the country?

Trump folded cause he’s weak. Kamala is boss/brat!

Dang, this is gonna be good.

I just finished listening to Trump's press conference at Mar-a-Lago. Not surprisingly, fact-checking points out numerous false statements in Trump's remarks. I won't cover all of them, but I was taking notes so the quotation marks represent Trump's own words.

(1) Trump indicated that "no one was killed on January 6." False.

Who? Who was killed on Jan 6? Names please

(2) Trump stated verbatim that "Biden weaponized the DOJ against me." False.

Have you been asleep for the last year?

(3) Trump stated that Kamala Harris "mounted a coup against Joe Biden." False.

It's obvious they did. Biden is obviously capable of operating as POTUS for the next four years, because he's still POTUS right now! If he wasn't capable, they'd have 25 amendment-ed him.

(4) Trump indicated that "the 2020 election was a peaceful transfer of power." False. In his attempt to overturn 2020 election results, Trump litigated his claim before 60 judges, many of whom were Trump appointees. Every case was either denied or dismissed.

If the BLM riots were "mostly peaceful" despite billions of dollars of damages, surely protesting in court - as we are allowed to by law - would be peaceful.

Try again.

This is the definition of "self-imploding"....

JD Vance two says ago: “I think that they will not pick Shapiro, frankly, out of antisemitism in their own caucus and in their own party,”

JD Vance today: I did not say that was the reason (antisemitism) that Kamala Harris didn’t choose Josh Shapiro.” 

https://www.yahoo.com/news/j-d-vance-crashes-burns-161312420.html

This clown is giving a Master Class in how to crash and burn...maybe they'll have a class at his alumni Yale in his honor - "VP Case Study - How to Humiliate Yourself and Sink a Campaign"....

Trump needs people to be afraid. He wants pro democracy people to be afraid of him, and he wants his followers to be afraid of the other team.

But he’s old and tired now and only his followers are afraid. The people are no longer afraid of trump - we’ve seen him for being a weak old con man who says provocative stuff to divert from focusing on his incompetence. But Harris has figured out his game. She’s ignoring him, and he’s floundering because his old tactics aren’t working anymore.

It’s like when people in the midst of getting dumped start to say more incendiary stuff when the dumper is ignoring them, because the things that used to work on that person have stopped.

America is breaking up with Trump, and he’s panicking and you can see it in his increased rhetoric blathering.

Harris was a complete washout on her own in 2020.

As VP of the Biden administration, (border czar?) she's been a no-show.

If she is able to speak without cackling, using word salads,

or her special brand of condescension-speak in these debates,

it will be a first for the world to see/hear.

Ultimately her record will speak the loudest.

If the BLM riots were "mostly peaceful" despite billions of dollars of damages, surely protesting in court - as we are allowed to by law - would be peaceful.

J6 caused $700 million more in damages than the BLM protests in Minnesota. You wanna tell me they were peaceful? https://www.13newsnow.com/article/news/crime/cost-of-capitol-riot-january-6/291-6fb5117e-dea1-4631-a76a-76e87b268bfd

If trump wins, instant 15th amendment. His speech today shows he’s entirely into the dementia.

He’s scared! He’s not gonna debate!

him: I agree to another biased environment and also want more debates.

oh look, yet another ruined narrative.

Looking forward to the precursor taking down the weird felon.

FACTS:

Donald just spent an entire day with Adin Ross, who gifted Donald a Rolex watch and a Tesla truck. Adin is an actual, literal, behind-sniffer (YouTube it). So, I guess Donald has a lock on the behind-sniffer vote.

Weird enough for normal folks. Par for MAGA cultists.

saw just enough of the “press conference” to see that he’s completely unhinged. not a molecule of integrity with all the lies and falsehoods. it’s actually disturbing when you listen to the rambling, disjointed words.

MAGA-world is crashing and burning...

"Former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said Thursday that former President Trump’s “self-announced” press conference shows the GOP presidential nominee is “panicking.”

There's more of that kind of thing:

“This is what you would call a public nervous breakdown,” Matthew Bartlett, a Republican strategist and former Trump state department appointee, told Politico.

“This is a guy who cut through the Republican primary like a knife through butter. This is a guy who pummeled a semi-conscious president in a debate and literally out of a race. And now this is a guy who cannot come to grips with a competitive presidential race that would require discipline and effective messaging,” Bartlett continued. “And we’re seeing a candidate and a campaign absolutely meltdown.”

owzerToday  07:41 am JST

I wish they’d debate 10 times! Harris needs to be asked some questions by someone because the media certainly hasn’t been doing it!

How about some questions for Trump, like how he claimed not to know who was in charge of Project 2025 in spite of sharing a private jet flight with him in 2022.

Blacklabel

He’s scared! He’s not gonna debate!

him: I agree to another biased environment and also want more debates.

oh look, yet another ruined narrative.

He tried to get Fox to bail him out, but Kamala held strong and held to the original terms.

She forced his hand, because his campaign is based on showing him as "strong", which doesn't allow him to chicken out of the debate.

I'm gonna need some popcorn for this one.

Underworld a waste of time.

A rolling VP/Presidential nominee "face to face", a policy to policy organized debates, when so many times have US people been told insisted upon that the very soul of democracy is at stake.

You insist is a waste of time?

These staged political rallies are meaningless political windsocks, all hot air. mouth and trouser hollering to the converted.

Let see the nominees, the VPs nailed down, harshly interviewed by non political partisans, under pressure gloves off, a first for the US political chattering classes.

Underworld, my friend, feeling a little perturbed, anxious, political tummy upset perhaps.

Both Trump and Harris facing an even playing field disturbing.

Let the US people decide that for themselves.

I'm gonna need some popcorn for this one.

We already know how this is going to go: He's going to claim she's not black.

Trump's opening statement at the debate: I'm so pleased to be here in Detroit (it's NYC) and on Fox News (It's ABC). I'm lucky to be here - I had to dodge so many sharks - they're our No. 1 national security threat you know. And those "marbs" - they're everywhere - marbs of Libs destroying our country, most of them Yale graduates...uh, wait, i take that back. Speaking of Yale, that's my "best-ever" VP pick over there, JD Vance, lying down on the couch. What a guy - he's so crashing and burning now - wish I had picked Little Hands Marco. OK, now on with the debate - hey wait, what's this woman doing here - where's Obama?"

That wouldn't be a waste of time, but don't expect Trump to do anything but lie in the debate. He won't lay out any policy positions.

Let see the nominees, the VPs nailed down, harshly interviewed by non political partisans, under pressure gloves off, a first for the US political chattering classes.

Sure. Bring it on. Harris/Walz haven't had to lay out their policy yet, but they will in time. They are better off riding the momentum for now.

Underworld, my friend, feeling a little perturbed, anxious, political tummy upset perhaps.

Not at all.

Also him: "I’ll see her on September 4th or, I won’t see her at all."

What's going on there, then?

Do the US electorate really care whether the next President skin colour, his or her ethnicities really matter one iota?

Barak Obama changed US political thinking, though the ability to change hearts and minds, not the colour of his skin, I suggest Obama was born with the ability, the oratory skills to move beyond the colour of his skin.

Has either Trump or Harris?

Weekly debates, sit down interviews, will give the US people an insight.

"Bringing back the joy": Kamala Harris' rally blows away JD Vance's weird appearance across town

https://www.yahoo.com/news/bringing-back-joy-kamala-harris-095739433.html

"He's so weird! He's so weird!" the crowd chanted in a sing-song, taunting voice that echoed across Temple University's packed basketball stadium Tuesday evening.

Let's not forget the "WEIRD stalker thing" that JD Vance is doing by following Harris/Walz across the country going to the same towns as her, but he is failing miserably!

The chanters didn't know the half of it. Hours earlier, I had been at a South Philly venue where Vance spoke briefly to about 200 supporters and a group of bored journalists. Vance's event was small, mean, and yes, WEIRD, featuring the unjustified sarcasm of the candidate and a desperate feeling reminiscent of the mood at a strip mall shot bar at 2 AM on "ladies' night."

Trump told the NABJ that it did not matter who the VP was. Trump's "self announcement" shows buyer's remorse.

How or When will Trump drop JD Vance?

OK Underworld, I sense, forgive me, we could be close to agreement.

Many, I suspect the majority, on these political threads would rather as an outsider, I would mind my own business, never even set foot in the US.

I neither support Trump or Harris, just comment an opinion, probably worth zero in the scheme of things.

However I rail against the illiberal mainstream, as much as the so called far right.

The belief that a political party in government can jail there opponent, hide in plain sight behind these "rallies" from debate.

Biden ended his own candidacy. Trump had nothing to do with it.

Kamala might take 20 cause she talks long winded in circles, saying a lot but meaning nothing.

You think Kamala rambles? Have you heard Trump talk about boats, batteries and sharks?

2 national polls yesterday show Trump in the lead again.

One was Rasmussen, so, you know... Kamala still in the lead - expect this to expand:

https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/president/general/2024/trump-vs-harris

Stolen nomination

Nope.

and stolen valor.

Nope.

The DEI and the DUI. They aren’t going to win.

Get ready for disappointment then...

Trump ended Biden’s candidacy and Presidency in less than 10 minutes.

However, only Biden has gone down in history for crushing Trump in the presidential election by 8 million votes and receiving more votes than any other president in modern history!

Trump can never claim with verifiable and credible proof that he has ever defeated Biden in a presidential election.

Trump will go down in history as a loser to Biden! Children will be studying it in history books for as long as the country exists!

Oooooh yes,

It's show time.

"He won't want those debates after Harris wipes the floor with him on the 10th."

Hope this one works out better than your prediction of "Biden will wipe the floor with Trump" a month ago.

Still, whoever does the wiping, will be fun to watch the debate. May the best pronoun win!

saying a lot but meaning nothing.

A true leader is terse and gets to the important issues: crowd sizes, electric boats, "windmills", and water pressure.

A true leader also has a firm grasp of reality and facts:

“You have voter ID to buy a loaf of bread. You have ID to buy a loaf of bread.”

Two old men: Who’s losing it more?

clearly Biden lost to Trump, a feat that was incredible considering how terribly bad Trump was in the debate, and Biden left the presidential race.

Now it’s a unilateral lying old man with cognitive dissonance vs. the sharp minded just turned black Kamala.

Even the most ardent MAGA cultists cannot deny this latest presser where his own base looks at each other incredulously and says, ‘what did he say?’ finally realizing his ridiculousness, it is time to put the old spud out to pasture.

a debate ain’t gonna be pretty, but it sure will be fun when Don Old seethes, sputters and looks utterly stupid. Haha.

never ending.

Because it's true. After agreeing to the September 10th debate, he very clearly said the debate would be moved to September 4th on Fox, and the agreed to debate on the 10th was no more. But he caved. Trump caving is never ending.

"Why is not feasible for a debate weekly across the networks right up until Nov 5th, multiple locations alternate VP/Presidential nominee."

Why not just have a debate each alternatively on a left leaning network followed by a right leaning network for both Presidential / VP nominees? Would that be too balanced for US politics?

Why not just have a debate each alternatively on a left leaning network followed by a right leaning network for both Presidential / VP nominees? 

Because low energy Donald doesn't have the steam for that. Poor guy is all tuckered out. That's why he hasn't left Mar-A-Lago or held a rally in over a week.

He won’t debate: left upset that he won’t debate.

"I'll debate on ABC on Sep 10th"...."I won't debate on ABC on Sep 10th, only on Fox"...."OK, I'll debate on ABC on Sep 10th"....

Also said: "We have to win without Fox."

Flippety-Floppety?

He will debate: he caved!

Well, maybe until tomorrow when he'll FLIP again...

never ending.

Indeed. He's flipped more than all the gymnasts at the Paris Olympics...

He won’t debate: left upset that he won’t debate.He will debate: he caved! never ending.

That is 100% accurate. LOL

Can't wait to see Harris cross-examine this convicted felon on live TV! That'll be a real treat!

Trump thinks debates are just more opportunities to hurl insults like a schoolyard bully at recess, He cannot clearly articulate a policy, mainly because his aim is to get a get-out-of-ja=il free pass given to him by the Supreme Court, and because his dementi makes it hard for him to speak. His base think his rude comments are savvy, he knows that and stoops to their base level.

Stolen nomination and stolen valor. The DEI

JD Vance is a DEI hire for the MAGA crowd!

"Because low energy Donald doesn't have the steam for that. Poor guy is all tuckered out."

And yet he is asking for 2 more debates after September 10? Why wouldn't Kamala campaign accept that? More chances to wipe the floor with Trump. Why be afraid of more debates ?

And yet he is asking for 2 more debates after September 10? 

Poor guy doesn't realize how in over his own head he is, and neither do his supporters.

burgers and beers, Cards fan, I believe we show are trues colours, our character, what we truly believe in, when placed under harsh pressure, without a safety net of a script, an escape route, on the spot, in extreme discomfort.

That is when we can Judge a candidate really can truly deliver in high office.

That is how I am judged in business, investors wants results, not my word for it.

Let the electorate judge Harris and Trump on the defence of there records in office in the full glare public spotlight.

No hiding place.

Stolen nomination and stolen valor. The DEI and the DUI. They aren’t going to win.

Quite everything you've listed here is wrong. Just wrong, let's break it down.

Stolen nomination

There was no stolen nomination. You know why? Because the nomination hasn't happened yet. The nominee isn't confirmed until the convention.

stolen valor.

There was no stolen valor. He spent a quarter of a century serving his country. He was the highest ranked enlisted man to serve in congress. I'm not going to let a guy who served 6 months writing press releases from his air-conditioned office in Iraq lecture me on "stolen valor."

the DUI

lol Really? You think people care about a DUI from decades ago? Give me a break. The right is really scraping the bottom of the barrel. Pathetic.

They aren’t going to win.

Oh yes they are. They're up in all swing states and that lead keeps growing. Meanwhile Trump is too tired to hold a rally. He's hiding in Mar-A-Lago.

Can't wait to see Harris cross-examine this convicted felon on live TV! That'll be a real treat!

I agree. The debate will be interesting and helpful to US voters. But one debate is clearly not enough for such an important election. Kamala should accept Don request for two more debates. She has the momentum and riding high, so lets just agree to debate more and get on with it.

More evidence of MAGA-meltdown...

"Fox News host Laura Ingraham committed an unforced error regarding midwest geography on Wednesday night’s The Ingraham Angle, and one which may not go over well with prideful residents of Minnesota and Wisconsin. “If you know Minnesota well, and I know it well—especially Milwaukee—it’s changed,” Ingraham told her guest, The Federalist Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway. “It has never recovered from 2020, and it’s not the same place.”

Except Milwaukee is in Wisconsin and was the site of last month’s Republican National Convention, from where Ingraham broadcasted her nightly show.

Fox trying to mirror their hero's descent into dementia...

If moderated competently (that is, Trump isn't allowed to constantly interrupt with his Gish galloping and rambling), Harris will destroy him in this and any other debate.

"He won't want those debates after Harris wipes the floor with him on the 10th."

Didn't happen.

Still, whoever does the wiping, will be fun to watch the debate. May the best pronoun win!

Any "debate" with Trump is never fun. The volume of his lies is tedious. But she will expose him, and likely he will come off looking less than sympathetic, like in 2020, which will harm him.

oh look, yet another ruined narrative.

The ‘I’ll see her on fox or not at all’ narrative.

Yeah, that was some nonsense wasn’t it? Who believed him?

SHADY PRANCE asked “What makes you happy? What brings a smile to your face?”

Answers “Fake news asking fake questions like that.”

Then he adds that creepy weird laugh. Nobody joins him.

You know, the one where if a stranger laughed like that in public, you’d take your kid’s hand and move away.

Echoing a recent criticism from his campaign, Trump criticized Harris for not doing a press interview since launching her campaign.

"She can't do an interview. She's barely competent," Trump said, later again calling her "nasty," a go-to line that he often uses to disparage female critics.

—

Well said. I mean, she’s on a teleprompter 24/7—she knows if she opens her mouth in some unscripted event, she won’t be the President. LMAO. She is the favorite… among those who aren’t aware of her record, hardcore democrats aka radical left and anti–Trump voters—first she steals (I believe that’s the right word) the nomination from Joe—nobody voted for her—and now she doesn’t answer a single question from reporters (I’m sorry but that teleprompter and that small talk in her rallies is not enough)—and she actually believes she can become (or deserves to be) President this way because… oh yes, “the orange man is bad”. SMDH.

Can’t wait.

I agree. The debate will be interesting and helpful to US voters.

Unlikely. An hour of Trump spewing lies is neither interesting nor useful.

But one debate is clearly not enough for such an important election.

Sure.

Kamala should accept Don request for two more debates.

Kamala and Walz will do what they want and won't be dictated to by Don. They have their own agenda and they will be driven by that.

She has the momentum and riding high,

Yup.

so lets just agree to debate more and get on with it.

Let's see how the first one goes and then decide. I would indeed look forward to Walz vs Vance.

I hope Trump gives more press conferences because that one was stark evidence to any sentient being of a mental break with reality.

Every time he speaks, people remember what a crap-show his entire “administration” was and more of them think “nope”.

Please try and lift your game and report the news without spraying your perfume all over it. Thanks.

That wasn’t perfume Trump was “spraying” at that presser. Lol.

"If you look at Martin Luther King, when he did his speech, his great speech, and you look at ours, same real estate, same everything, the same number of people, if not, we had more. They said he had a million people, but I had 25,000 people."

To me, it's more annoying than it is anything else, but all the people who are like "look! Trump is shaking in his boots!" Like really? Have you ever seen him ONCE express fear about anything?

What I see is a LOT of projection from our friends on the left. It's not even so much that they hate Trump. It's that high school energy where if your side wins you get to pretend for a few moments like you're smart and somehow you made everything happen.

I can only see this attitude as a hinderance to one's ability to be financially successful

Kamala rallies are nothing but free concerts. Then she reads the same exact speech from the teleprompter as people start leaving,

today is just yesterday, tomorrow!

How about some questions for Trump, like how he claimed not to know who was in charge of Project 2025 in spite of sharing a private jet flight with him in 2022

Hardly anybody knew of Project 2025 until the media started advertising it. It's not Trump's plan; it's some odd-ball right-wing extremist's idea.

Kamala rallies are nothing but free concerts.

At least she has rallies.

Then she reads the same exact speech from the teleprompter as people start leaving,

So much cope.

Even our MAGA-friends here admit that Trump goes ballistic when he has to debate a woman, especially a minority one. And when that woman starts dissing him; calling him a "Loser", an "old, demented fool", a "failed reality TV host" - he becomes unglued....

So I can't wait for Harris to lay into him with a barrage of insults - he'll turn bright orange and flip-out....might have a heart attack...

Better have Nikki Haley waiting backstage....

How about some questions for Trump, like how he claimed not to know who was in charge of Project 2025 in spite of sharing a private jet flight with him in 2022

Hardly anybody knew of Project 2025 until the media started advertising it. It's not Trump's plan; it's some odd-ball right-wing extremist's idea.

It’s absolutely his plan. Written by several dozen of his former people, advertised using his PAC.

He at once says “I know nothing about it” AND “Some of their ideas are good” which is wa weird judgment to make about something one knows nothing about.

No, scared Don is trying to run away from a fascist vision of America, but he’s not washing that one off any sooner than his weird clown makeup.

It's not Trump's plan; it's some odd-ball right-wing extremist's idea.

Except more than 100 of his former whitehouse staffers contributed to it.

JD Vance wrote the foreward to the leader's book.

Except Donald Trump has taken private flights with the leaders of the project, and they claim they're in frequent contact with him.

Project 2025 is right-wing extremism, and so is Trump.

Um, today?

That unhinged screed was political panic and it was all him.

None of his advisors thought that was a good idea.

Trump got shot and almost killed. Jumped right back up, zero fear.

But he’s “scared” to speak in the same room for 90 minutes with….word salad Harris?

the same guy was has been speaking in public for 60+ years, had his own popular TV show for a decade.

it’s ridiculous.

Yeah, he was just a rambling old delivered man today. Hardly a symbol of strength. More just sad - and weird.

But he’s “scared” to speak in the same room for 90 minutes with….word salad Harris?

lol Always funny when Trump fans mock other's speaking abilities.

the same guy was has been speaking in public for 60+ years, had his own popular TV show for a decade.

Worth nothing the serious cognitive decline, and that fact if he loses, it's very likely the paused court cases continue and he winds up in jail.

But he’s “scared” to speak in the same room for 90 minutes with….word salad Harris?

Yep. She’s a young black woman who will make him look like a loser. That’s about trumps single biggest fear.

Got up and acted like a tough guy after all the danger was over.

Had a scripted “reality” tv show.

Like all bullies, he’s a coward when confronted as we saw last week when he was asked perfectly reasonable questions at the NABJ forum and went full-gonzo.

He’s scared and he’s a coward.

Can't wait to see Harris cross-examine this convicted felon on live TV! That'll be a real treat!

I agree. The debate will be interesting and helpful to US voters

Let's hope that happens.. DT will dig up Mrs Willie Brown so fast.. and from than on there will no going back..

Wow how the mighty have fallen. All the neutral media is reporting on the disaster trump’s speech was.

MAGA are about to be hit with a major truth bomb this November and again it won’t be one they can deny.

Looking very tired, rambling and confused.

Can’t see how he’s got enough in the tank to lead for 4 years.

Kamala rallies are nothing but free concerts. Then she reads the same exact speech from the teleprompter as people start leaving,

today is just yesterday, tomorrow!

Trump charges to get into his rallies?

Maybe he should offering a discount because attendance is getting as patchy as his comb-over, lol.

Or maybe nobody wants to see the political version of fat Elvis in Vegas?

Let's hope that happens.. DT will dig up Mrs Willie Brown so fast.. and from than on there will no going back.

Trump on his first wife with his second.

Cheated on his second wife with his last.

Chested on her with a porn star.

Found liable for sexual assault (AKA “Rape”)

You sure you want to draw attention to that?

We’ve seen today that there is a zero percent chance trump makes it through his term without getting 25thed. That means weirdo Vance would be president.

He would be a complete disaster. Every Republican needs to consider that’s the man they are putting in the White House, and decide whether or not he’s just too weird.

Hey, she was Trump's hand-picked Communications Director and Press secretary - she's YOUR TEAM....

Than why was she attacked by the radical left..and now quoted by them..nothing more than self expose in so many of these comments..

Trump got shot and almost killed. Jumped right back up, zero fear.

Stood up with the help of the secret service and pumped his fist into the air. Makes the Allied troops at D-Day look like "suckers and losers" in comparison.

But he’s “scared” to speak in the same room for 90 minutes with….word salad Harris?

Yup. He can only act tough in controlled situations.

the same guy was has been speaking in public for 60+ years, had his own popular TV show for a decade.

It shows:

"I have this beautiful luxuriant hair and I put stuff on. I put it in lather. I like lots of lather because I like it to come out extremely dry because it seems to be slightly thicker that way. And I lather up and then you turn on this crazy shower and the thing drip, drip and you say I'm gonna be here for 45 minutes. What? There's so much water. You don't know what to do with it. You know, it's called rain. It rains a lot in certain places. But, now their idea, you know, did you see the other day? They just, I opened it up and they closed it again. I opened it, they close it, washing machines to wash your dishes. There is a problem. They don't want you to have any water."

Than why was she attacked by the radical left..and now quoted by them..nothing more than self expose in so many of these comments..

Strong argument bruh. Your logic, facts and reasoning identify you as intelligent! Did you come up with that all by yourself?

Trump got shot and almost killed. Jumped right back up,

He was running to "The Beast"....

But he’s “scared” to speak in the same room for 90 minutes

He's scared to speak for 5 minutes - why did he refuse the Sep 10th debate? Then FLIP and agree to it?

the same guy was has been speaking in public for 60+ years,

60+ year's - wow, dude is OLD....

had his own popular TV show for a decade.

Indeed - part of the Hollywood elite...

it’s ridiculous.

True - and "weird"...

I will be glad when Kamala win ,so I can hire me a special prosecutor that handles civil prosecution ,I generally know who she will be ,seem like DC Federal judges generally are liberal and will be receptive to trying case file before them dealing with KKK Act of 1871 ,

the same guy was has been speaking in public for 60+ years, had his own popular TV show for a decade

Yes, he had a good run but has clearly hit a wall now.

Time can be cruel.

This will be good, can't wait until Trump wipes the floor with her. Finally some action!

"Hope this one works out better than your prediction of "Biden will wipe the floor with Trump" a month ago.

Didn't happen."

Ah, those sweet denials ;) no kahunas to admit when they got it wrong. As usual.

All the neutral media...

Neutral media ??..good..that's a start..well in that same neutral media DT is looking at a landslide this Nov.. further KH and the radical left in the left are being setup to be blamed for the loss and than sidelined.. so maybe there is hope for the left.

Kamala rallies are nothing but free concerts. Then she reads the same exact speech from the teleprompter as people start leaving,

True, but Megan Thee Stallion is still a total hottie. Thumbs up.

she knows if she opens her mouth, she won’t be President…

That’s how bad she is. LMAO! Meanwhile, Trump is masterfully answering questions from a hostile press for more than a hour. But ”let’s keep supporting the most incompetent presidential candidate in American history.” :)

Hey, she was Trump's hand-picked Communications Director and Press secretary - she's YOUR TEAM....

Than why was she attacked by the radical left..and now quoted by them..nothing more than self expose in so many of these comments..

YOU were the one that dissed her - do you even read your own comments?

Stephanie Grisham ?? attack them when convenient.. quote them when convenient.. source something better..

Interesting you're now admitting you're part of the radical left...

Kamala rallies are nothing but free concerts. Then she reads the same exact speech from the teleprompter as people start leaving,

Do they start leaving after 30 min like at a Trump rally unless they’re physically prevented from doing so by the secret service?

Cause we’ve seen that happen too many times to count at Trump’s stream of consciousness grievance fests.

burgers and beers

"Hope this one works out better than your prediction of "Biden will wipe the floor with Trump" a month ago.

Ah, those sweet denials ;) no kahunas to admit when they got it wrong. As usual.

I have no problem admitting when I get things wrong. Like I thought Hilary would win in 2016.

But I do believe you are misremembering. You would do well to check.

Do they start leaving after 30 min like at a Trump rally unless they’re physically prevented from doing so by the secret service?

You just say the strangest things. Lol

Cause we’ve seen that happen too many times to count at Trump’s stream of consciousness grievance fests. 

Huh? Dreaming?

You want this buffoon in charge of the economy?

I dunno, hard choices , this does not inspire much confidence either.

Somewhere Dan Quayle is saying, "thank God for JD - I'm finally free of being the most stupid, erratic, gaffe-prone, Just Dumb Repub VP pick ever"...

Every time Trump makes a public appearance and his deterioration becomes clearer and clearer, his choice of Vance as VP must come more into focus. As stated earlier, even the combover looks like it could be blown out of place by Vance breaking wind on the couch.

Trump himself couldn’t bring himself to state that Vance would be ready to step in should his elderly boss become incapacitated.

Something as excellent as Tim ‘Excellent’ Walz would help him out.

“See you at Faux or not at all”

Oops. Another MAGA-flail fail

Well both DT and KH were invited at NABJ, KH skipped..DT could have also skipped, but went anyway..was made to wait, but still attended, the contrast between the attack by the radical left journalist and the well articulated questions by the neutral journalist was seen worldwide. So now given DT's success in that meeting.. he has now taken the battle to there turf...

Having seen the previous "debates" in which Trump was involved, I don't know why Harris is bothering. I mean there are the optics to consider (if she doesn't, he'll run on "she's afraid of me"), but unless the debates are moderated by someone with a spine, it'll be more of the same: Trump just talks over everyone, spews a lie every time he opens his mouth, the ratings-obsessed US media lap it up, and both sides claim victory before it even starts.

What's the point?

True, but Megan Thee Stallion is still a total hottie. Thumbs up.

oh yeah she fine.

but I’m not looking to her for voting recommendations. She gets paid to push that, like for everything else she does it ain’t free.

You want this buffoon in charge of the economy?

Well, Kamala doesn't have Nobel prize-winning economists warning that Trump's economic plans could reignite inflation:

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-economy-nobel-prize-winners-letter-inflation-warning/

Meanwhile, Trump is masterfully answering questions from a hostile press for more than a hour.

LOL. When he opens his mouth, his incompetence and weirdness is exposed.

His campaign is imploding. He isn't going to the White House.

Every time Trump makes a public appearance and his deterioration becomes clearer and clearer,

To the left or to the European crowd?

his choice of Vance as VP must come more into focus.

It has, now if the msm would do its job and focus on what he says and at the same time focus on Kamala there would be less scrutiny on both sides.

As stated earlier, even the combover looks like it could be blown out of place by Vance breaking wind on the couch. 

?

Trump himself couldn’t bring himself to state that Vance would be ready to step in should his elderly boss become incapacitated. 

Yes, but doesn’t seem likely at this point given his health. After he leaves office, JD can run for the Presidency

Something as excellent as Tim ‘Excellent’ Walz would help him out.

He has his own problems brewing like a black cup of coffee

Harris wipes the floor with him on the 10th.

MAGA-world is crashing and burning...

Oops. Another MAGA-flail fail

but on a pair of pants and had a meltdown

DT is up against this kind of logic.. literally there is no competition..none..

Speaking of paid, Kamala can’t find a “cool” streamer to take her money to pretend they support her.

She is super jealous of Trump’s record breaking stream and offering big, big money.

2 guys have had to go public and say hey not gonna do it! Stop having the Secret Service contacting me and pressuring me. Abuse of power.

" As stated earlier, even the combover looks like it could be blown out of place by Vance breaking wind on the couch."

That's quite funny ,lol..thumbs up. But let's not discriminate against people with combovers now, that goes against inclusion and diversity, core values. Combovers have feelings and deserve to be treated with respect too.

"I have no problem admitting when I get things wrong. Like I thought Hilary would win in 2016. But I do believe you are misremembering. You would do well to check."

Nope, but I do get it...it's easy to deny saying something after changing a username. Expert ego is a fragile thing.

She is super jealous of Trump’s record breaking stream and offering big, big money.

No one is jealous of Trump for going on Adin Ross' stream. Do you think he sniffed the chair Trump was sitting in like he did Andre Tate? Bunch of weirdos.

Trump stated verbatim that "Biden weaponized the DOJ against me..

Not Biden actually.. but Obama and his right hand AG Holder..both the DOJ and voting requiring no id check.

Speaking of paid, Kamala can’t find a “cool” streamer to take her money to pretend they support her.

Word salad?

She is super jealous of Trump’s record breaking stream and offering big, big money.

More word salad?

2 guys have had to go public and say hey not gonna do it! Stop having the Secret Service contacting me and pressuring me. Abuse of power.

Do you find Hulk Hogan and Kid Rock more trustworthy?

They seem to be about the ceiling as to what the far-right are able to pull in celebrity, I'm wondering if they meet your level of quality or not.

ROFL...these MAGA-cultists actually think Trump didn't fail spectacularly at the Black Journalists Conference...

Even Repubs regurgitated when they heard him say "she isn't Black"....

From his pants, maybe.

Other than that, nope. He’s got a fake boxer crypto-fraud, Kid-schlock, and a twitchy white nationalist.

This just in: "Far Right and Far Left" to debate and compromise like true politicians.

Ha ha ha. Just to be clear, that was a joke. Well, actually a fantasy. Look for my new book: Fantasy Politics: When the Lunatics Rule Both Sides of the Aisle.

Trump now losing it because Kamala/Walz's crowd sizes are bigger than Trump's. Trump saying that he has bigger crowd sizes than MTK Jr.

Losing it!

Sarah Palin too. But at least we got to know Lisa Ann as a result of that freak show, so there’s that..

Harris vs Trump debate will take a different route, but end the same as Biden vs Trump.

Harris will be conscious (the difference between Biden) but will alarm the public by exposing herself as an extremist and Trump will win again (same ending).

have very big eyes, most women always told me your eyes are sexy

Sure they do, sweetie…

Sarah Palin

To be fair, as ridiculous as that turned out, she is photogenic, made a storming entrance and gave McCain a short-lived boost. It was an understandable roll of the dice.

Vance has creeped people out right from the start.

Um, today?

That unhinged screed was political panic and it was all him.

None of his advisors thought that was a good idea.

How you gauge panic here exemplifies my point. You are crying "wolf" here.

He may be sensitive and cuddly inside and you just don't know it yet. Projection goes against true Democrat values.

Or maybe he’s a weird fake wannabe ve bro with undemocratic ideas and is a religious nut-job who talks about childless cat ladies and is just a total chameleon?

it’s definitely the latter.

Thus the mockery.

Um, today?

That unhinged screed was political panic and it was all him.

Trump looks very tired and frail. He had some lucid episodes in that conference but often slipped into incoherence and gibberish.

It looks like he’s cutting back on his schedule. That would be wise.

Not sure he’s capable of holding it together for an extended period of scrutiny now. The lies are baked in ( that’s just Trump ) but the incoherence is becoming more marked.

White knuckles for his handlers now.

trump’s eyes looking stranger by the day. pupils are dilated under bright lights. doctors saying he’s on an amphetamine for his adhd.

They are and if he were trans, he wouldn’t be getting this grief."

Maybe he is and hasn't made it public yet

Yes, because the party of homophobic Christian nationalism would nominate someone even remotely trans.

That was funny! You should go on tour.

Sure they do, sweetie…

Yup, exactly.

To be fair, you ARE paying them…

Vance has got this.

If by this, you mean massively unpopular, and growing more unpopular by the day, then sure. He's got "this."

So, at the debate, Trump gets asked about the $10 million that Egypt gave him in a quid-pro-quo scam...

"An August 2 Washington Post article claimed that Egyptian President Abdel Fatah El-Sisi withdrew $10 million from a Cairo bank account to fund Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.

The money was allegedly withdrawn in giant duffel bags and given to an Egyptian spy agency to pass onto Trump's campaign after El-Sisi and Trump had a private meeting at the United Nations in September 2016.

The article states that, as president, Trump released $1 billion in military aid to El-Sisi's government."

https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-egypt-payments-2016-presidential-election-sisi-1935917

Wanna guess how many "I take the 5th" that will bring?

Wouldn't it be so ironic that after all his baseless rants about Biden, Burisma, and quid-pro-quos, Trump gets taken down his own dirty deal?
