Donald Trump the Megathread part II - threadbans and mod warnings in OP

"Hi Sir, remember a few years ago when you stuck to the script for a press conference and became president and could go golfing all day? You were incredible that day, Sir. A real powerhouse, Sir. Very presidential."

"Yes, yes, that was, that was a good day. Maybe I'll add that in today's briefing. Have you the script there? I just need to ehh... sprinkle a little bit of ehhh... panache in it. Know what I mean?"

(Assistant hands over speech, Trump glances at it, and puts it in his pocket, completely unmarked.)

Don't get your hopes up lads, he will just waffle along like he usually does. Might even mention that the election is being stolen with the recent polls showing his lead vanish.

This might rebound on me but I am continually amazed at some of the contenders inability to check the source of their comments before they use the contents to attack their opponents as part of their political campaign.

AFAIK, JD was questioning Walz military record yesterday to the effect that Walz resigned from his NG Unit shortly after it was notified of a stint of upcoming overseas service and avoided active service thereby with his former unit. Some of his former unit members were used in the attack by JD on Walz. JD also included mention of his own US military service abroad in Iraq in the same breath.

To me, it would be a matter of common sense to have been prepared for questions like that to pop up and to have everything quartered away in preparation. Egg sticks to faces.

Sure that there are others

And that's the crux! Kim Kardashian could win or be a viable candidate. Politics in the U.S is a joke.

This press conference is something else. The deluded ramblings of a madman.

Fair but brilliant judge - The one that ruled in his favour 😂

How much of an increase in take-home pay does the average working family get from the economy upswing in the US - do things look good for them, with a follow-on effect on the economy that'll be to their liking?

There's been a fair amount of mention of the shares-sales and a downturn in shares value on the markets last week, with a reported upswing this week wiping out last weeks losses and both political parties seeking the approval of the unions head offices, and the unions members, for their candidates. Are the unions and their members speaking with one voice?

One thing I saw last week was that Trump seemed to have guessed that there would be a downturn in share prices last week, in that he had spoken about it some 2 or 3 hours before it began. Maybe his comments were published after the downturn began, giving the wrong impression that he was more aware of how the markets were trending then. The Fed had only made it's decision to hold things steady as it goes. He didn't like the Feds approach to things at that time.

This is just so brutally bad

Even when he's talking about crowd sizes, he's struggling to get passionate. He got vaguely passionate when Shapiro got mentioned. He's just struggling to bother. Reintroducing election conspiracy theories now and that won't help him. Basically he comes across as weak and pissed off. 😂

If Simon Harris behaved like this, he'd be ousted... Shameful state for that party.
