Rant-filled rallies, an unpopular VP and lies, lies, lies: Trump just had his worst week yet
Former President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign capped off a gobsmackingly disastrous week by letting its flawed and aging candidate hold a make-believe “press conference” at his New Jersey golf resort.
The subject, was … maybe something about food prices? Or the economy? Or possibly something about birds getting killed by windmills?
It didn’t really matter. Trump delivered an epic rant-a-thon, nearly two hours of pure, uncut lies, weird tangents and whining ‒ then took a handful of questions, most from pro-Trump outlets basically asking the Republican presidential nominee to explain how he got to be so awesome.

1. I watched some of that news conference and all I can figure is that Trump is worried

about his base and feels the need to shore it up. I think he's given up completely on widening his appeal and figures he'll rely on base turnout and cheating.Watching him, I don't think it's dementia...he's just insufferable and obnoxious.

2. More from your link

That this week in Trump’s presidential campaign hasn’t sent GOP donors fleeing is shocking. That this week of hearing Trump dissemble relentlessly and chatter disjointedly hasn’t led the political press in America to write story after story questioning Trump's mental state and capacity is an indictment on the industry.

3. Double standards

But they’re also doing the public a great disservice by pretending he is a normal candidate.

4. The worm has turned

The media is piling on Trump right now and it's all too easy to do because of the normal and hopeful campaign Harris and Walz are running.

The contrast between the Harris and Biden event yesterday where they talked about what they've done for the American people and what they will do was stark with Trump's 2 hour grievance filled rant where he talked about Windmills and Tik-Taks.

So CNN, MSNBC, USA Today, and several other outlets are now covering Trump like the sideshow he is rather than a serious person. He sounds more and more ridiculous daily. And he's desperate because he knows he's losing.

I think harris can really land a big blow if the DNC next week is hopeful and fact filled like it will be. Trump is already reeling and desperate, he will fall further behind.

Now a lot of people think Trump shouldn't be covered as much as he is, but right now, every time he speaks, Harris gains, so it's going well.

11. Not so tiny troubles

in the whine...Makes him unhappy

He's starting to unwind... :bounce

[calimary]

17. OMG!!!

It’s just after 7am Pacific time. I’m stifling my laughter with every bit of strength I can muster so I don’t wake up my husband!

This is AGONY!!! Hurts - So GOOD!!!

[BattleRow]

20. So happy you understood

my effort to parody

"Tiny bubbles in the wine."

Perhaps some of the DUers are unfamiliar with this somewhat vintage tune.

5. Donnie needs to make an actual visit to a windfarm

...no dead birds unless they were sick and flew into a blade... The wind farms are actually quite tranquil.

6. I think it as about electric boats and sharks. Or maybe electric sharks.

Maybe it was sharks with freaking laser beams on their heads.

[RT_Fanatic]

8. Might those laser beams...

...be from Jewish lasers?

[Ligyron]

19. Yes!

They’ve gone underwater death ray now.

[surfered]

7. He's shameless.

[Martin Eden]

9. THIS is how his rant fests should be covered

STOP normalizing his unhinged rhetoric.

[DeeDeeNY]

14. It's good to see at least one news source reporting honestly

USA Today puts the more mainstream newspapers to shame

[Qutzupalotl]

21. In fairness, it is an opinion column

rather than straight-up news, but at least they are printing it and not suppressing it.

[padah513]

10. Let's all hope that every week in a "worst week yet" for the cretin.

[Aussie105]

12. Not to worry!

Soon enough his mental state will deteriorate to the point that only goo-goo-gaa-gaa baby talk gibberish comes forth.

Halfway there now.

The ensuing silence from Trump and the MSM supporters will be bliss!

Quite delusional to think he is a politician or a candidate for the Top Job though.

Got to ask . . . WHY?

[mercuryblues]

13. That whole article is

Worth a read.

15. The flies buzzing around the bloated orangeatang

and the sausages sweltering in the sun was by far the most entertaining part.

16. "Given the week the campaign has had, it was nice of them to take the candidate out for a little air and a chance to bab

babble at clouds."

18. Adderall addict has mush brain.

Check it.
It's a side effect.
