During his press conference at his Bedminster, N.J., property, Trump was asked by multiple journalists about criticism from some Republicans that he needs to be more disciplined and lay off the personal attacks on Harris. He responded that he was “entitled to personal attacks.”
The Harris campaign criticized the event, saying he had “a stream of not-much-consciousness” and then “it did not get better” when he took questions.
“At his country club, Donald Trump, huffed and puffed his opposition to lowering food costs for middle and working class Americans and prescription drug costs for seniors before pivoting back to his usual lies and delusions,” spokesperson James Singer said.
Similarly, Prez Biden has had a stammer in his speech since birth; he’s just hidden it better. The biggest sign of decline is that he’s not hiding it. Combined with a rabid-jackal press interface that Mr Trump doesn’t see, it makes Prez Biden look far worse than he is. When allowed to form a freakin’ thought, he makes good decisions; in a time when that seems so rare.
Having said that, optics are everything, and the campaign was at risk of losing a decent leader and lifelong politician for one that can mumble into a microphone louder and only presents in public as a completely terrible human being and leader and manager.
