Trump held a press conference at Mar A Lardo and it was as full of lies and batshit buggery as you might imagine. But it was also EXACTLY the sort of decline that prompted Biden to drop out of the race. Trump was manifestly old and rambling. Sure, sure, there was the usual whining and the endless grievance. Sure, sure, there were false claims and false equivalencies, but Trump is unable to string together coherent sentences in ways that are worse than what made Biden drop out.
At one point, he was asked about whether Harris should have picked Shapiro (most of the reporters were hand selected to avoid actually tough questions). This was an easy lay up about the Democrats being beholden to anti-Semites on their left. Instead, Trump launched into an attack on Shapiro instead that clearly demonstrated that he has no fucking idea who Josh Shapiro is.
He attacked Brian Kemp again. He lied about crowd sizes again and again, including saying he had more people there than at MLK's "I Have A Dream" speech.
Honestly, I want a reporter to sit down with Trump and ask him basic questions like "What is the capital of Nebraska?" and "What is Article I of the Constitution about?" or "Who are the Republican Senators from Florida?" I'd wager he could barely answer any of them.
There are no headline stories at either the Times or Post as of 3:51pm ET.
