A shake up for the Democrats has led to an attention deficit for Trump - an unusual position for the ex-president, writes the BBC's Katty Kay.
On Thursday, Donald Trump walked into a room of journalists gathered at his Mar-a-Lago estate for a news conference. He didn’t look particularly happy.
His remarks came after a week in which Kamala Harris and her new running mate Tim Walz have dominated media attention, raked in millions of dollars and enjoyed a bump in polling. Trump’s media event seemed more an attempt to win back the spotlight than announce anything new.
I mean not only does he have to compete with Harris and Walz, he has to compete against his own running mate. The press doesn't care about a Harris/Trump debate because they know how it is going to go and it will be as dry as the Sahara, but a Walz/Vance debate? With Walz's comedic timing vs Vance's complete lack of awareness? That's gonna bring in the ratings. At this point Trump is a distant 4th for ratings for them.
I feel we could get a much better bang/buck ratio by shooting him down to Venus along with a sensor package. Far less expensive, and the live broadcast of his horrific demise would probably go some way to defraying costs as well.
Dementia Don the weird racist rapist with 34 felonies is pathetic. His campaign is just cringe and weird. I'd say he should drop out because it's so embarrassing but I like watching this dumpster fire. He has to win or it's jail for his ass.
At this point he's failing to fight out of a wet paper bag in the rain.
He has the power to do so, but, being Trump, he inserts his head so far into his ass he could get his head back on his shoulders from the inside out.
When I say he has the power, it would require introspection; what he could do, but refuses even when he knows, experiences, and sees the deck stacked against him for all the right reasons.
