  1. Trump is creepy, weird, and out of touch. Absolutely unfit to manage a cash register, much less the country.

    I was just wondering how today’s big show was going. Did he make great points and introduce new plans and policies for the future?

    Remember when Obama joked Trump was running as a joke way back in 2012 at the WHCD? He was not only funny that eve but correct…

    >Flanked by groceries that fittingly included a **box of Froot Loops**… Trump read, rambled and raged for 50 minutes before taking a single question at an event billed as his second press conference in the past two weeks. And the rambling didn’t end when the questioning began. Likewise, it’s difficult to determine whether Trump knows where reality ends and the lies begin…

  4. Journalists must salivate for these kinds of headlines. I don’t like the NYPost, but “Headless body in topless bar” is an all time great headline.

  5. It took him 10 minutes to “answer” his second question about whether he agreed that he should tone down the personal attacks. Part of that answer included him waxing poetic about his regrets that he didn’t prosecute Hillary Clinton.

    So, Trump has claimed twice now that he stopped the “Lock Her Up” chants at his rallies and calmed public sentiment against Hillary.. And he told the Justice Department to lay off her when he was elected. Is no media outlet going to call that out!

    Another drug cocktail failure. It’s going to be interesting to see him at a debate against Harris, when he barely knows where he is, and won’t be allowed to shamble around and loom over her like he was allowed to do against Clinton.

  8. >At one point, clearly agitated, he said, “I’m entitled to personal attacks [on Harris]. I don’t have a lot of respect for her. I don’t have a lot of respect for her intelligence. … She called me ‘weird.’”

    >Later, he added, “They want me to be nice, but they want to put me in jail.” But, he insisted, “I’m immune from everything they charge me with.”

    What a vile and putrid lifeform.

  9. I was a a customer’s house cringing and laughing the whole time I was inside working.
    You can literally play any of his speeches from the past 8 years and you wouldn’t be able to tell what year they were from. Same old fear and loathing old man who needs his diaper changed.

  10. Who hurt him? 🙂

    At one point, clearly agitated, he said, “I’m entitled to personal attacks [on Harris]. I don’t have a lot of respect for her. I don’t have a lot of respect for her intelligence. … She called me ‘weird.’”

  11. Someone on his campaign put a box of Froot Loops with the groceries next to him. They could have picked any cereal. Just saying, the call is coming from inside the house.

  12. >“I’m entitled to personal attacks [on Harris]. I don’t have a lot of respect for her. I don’t have a lot of respect for her intelligence. … **She called me ‘weird.’**”

    When the Democrats and pundits started moving in lock-step using the “weird” description, I was a little skeptical that it would gain traction, but it did. He’s still talking about it weeks later!

    I’m so glad the party has moved on from calling him a “threat to democracy” (which he is) to “weirdo” (also a fair and accurate description). Trump and the rest of the GOP really seem to get a boner when people show any sort of fear towards them. Now that we’re laughing at them, they seem a lot more bothered.

    What a dumb idiot- I WANT TO BE IN A SYSTEM WHERE EVERYONE GETS HEALTHCARE you raging idiot.

    How long can anyone stomach this delusional lunacy.

  14. “She wants to eliminate private healthcare”

    Woah, woah, woah Trump, don’t threaten me with a good time.

  15. From the article:

    “You’re all going to be thrown into a communist system,” he said. “You will be thrown into a system where everybody gets health care.”

    Oh, Lordy, say it ain’t so!!! It will turn into an Oprah Winfrey show: ….and *you* get healthcare, and *you* get healthcare, and *you*….

    There are worst things in the world. Read Project 2025, where millions lose their healthcare.

    >At one point he asked, “Why would I put myself through it again?” Not to stay out of prison, but “to make America great again,” 

    lol we all know why Donnie.

    >He claimed there’s a law in California that says you can rob stores as long as you don’t rob more than $950 worth of stuff. There’s no such law.

    BRB, I need to go grocery “shopping”. LOL!

    >— “You’re all going to be thrown into a communist system,” [he said](https://x.com/Acyn/status/1824188422292115595). “You will be thrown into a system where everybody gets health care.”

    Sweet!

  17. I tuned into this speech for 15 min, cause what the hell. It was brutal. He just meanders and says everything he can while actually saying nothing. There was a 5 min segment about electric truck mandates and how electric trucks are too big and heavy and will break all the bridges and roads in the country. He was surrounded by tables of bacon and condiments. It was surreal. It really could have been an SNL sketch. The guy is toast

    That title is…. actually true?

    >Flanked by groceries that fittingly included a box of Froot Loop…

    The mind leaps immediately to the Four Seasons Landscaping moment.

  19. > a box in the right corner of the Fox News screen all but laughed at him — showing a 554.67-point gain in the Dow, which once again has climbed above 40,000.

    Remember when the Bank of Japan increased their interest rates and caused a few bad days for the stock market recently? Republicans were calling it the “Kamala crash”. A week later and the stock market is back above where it was before the “crash”.

  20. Well. out local News (Sinclair Media) opened the story with ‘For the second day, President **** hammered Kamala Harris on the economy.’

    *eye roll*

    And I have NEVER used his name and president in the same breath, I won’t start now,

  21. I really don’t know what that even was anymore…cherry picked “reporters” asking him the baby softest of questions to which he couldn’t even answer properly without having a senior moment that lasted the entire length of the interview….and now MAGA will be hollering about that Harris is “hiding” while she’s out trying to lower food and drug costs for their obese diabetic butts. It’s like a circus but no one can leave because they tied the tent flaps shut. If it isn’t glaringly obvious on why Kamala is the proper, normal choice over this senile rambling felon then there is no helping you.

    > As Trump Bedminster golf club members cheered him on Thursday afternoon, Trump ***tricked CNN and Fox News into giving him free airtime to insult Vice President Kamala Harris***, the Democratic presidential nominee who now leads Trump in nearly every poll — just three weeks after entering the race. …CNN later cut away from the conference after 30 minutes, before Trump had taken any questions.

    I doubt very much they needed much pressure for either of those networks.

  23. It’s actually kinda cool to watch someone awful deteriorating slowly before our eyes.

    And it’s even more fucking rad that the GOP hitched their wagon to the rotting shit stain.

    It’s historic.

    dump: “You will be thrown into a system where everybody gets health care.”

    Oh please, don’t give everybody health care!!!! /s

    > Lately Trump is low energy, meandering, and struggling to maintain a thought.

    It is almost like he is an obese man pushing 80.

  26. IdrinkandImakethings on

    Clicked it on.
    Heard “the Gaza attack never would have happened if I was president. Never would have happened”.
    Clicked it off

  27. He is in a freefall. The “weird” comments and the assassination attempt are rotting his brain. He can’t stay on message, at all. Love to see it.

  28. “…Trump tricked CNN and Fox News into giving him free airtime…”
    Imo, Fox & CNN went willingly. They knew. And so did Harris:

    “Hours before Trump started talking, the Harris-Walz campaign predicted what would happen:”
    *”…’Donald Trump intends to deliver another self-obsessed rant full of his own personal grievances to distract from his toxic Project 2025 agenda, unpopular running mate and an increasing detachment from the reality of the voters who will decide this election,’ their statement read.”*

  29. >At one point, clearly agitated, he said, “I’m entitled to personal attacks [on Harris]. I don’t have a lot of respect for her. I don’t have a lot of respect for her intelligence. … She called me ‘weird.’”

    Kamala livin rent free in Trump’s brain 24/7! He can not stand being called weird! LMAO!
