Meanwhile, Harris has aggresively hit the campaign trail, hoping to fire up voters in battleground states across the country

On Thursday, former president Donald Trump attempted to — yet again — recalibrate his campaign, this time with a press conference at his property in Bedminster, New Jersey.

The appearance at his beloved golf course comes exactly one week after Trump tried to put the spotlight back on himself amid Vice President Kamala Harris’s surging poll numbers, with a press conference at his Florida home of Mar-a-Lago. He used the event to grumble over crowd sizes, at one point stating incorrectly that his speech before the January 6 riot at the Capitol had more attendees than Martin Luther King’s 1963 March on Washington.

It’s noteworthy that both of these “press conferences” happened at his own properties — the safest of spaces for the former president.

    I mean, he almost got killed. I’d be a bit wary too

      yes but you’re normal. We’re talking about a demented sociopathic malignant narcissist who also happens to be a convicted fraud and rapist in a wig, makeup, and heels.

      Not . . . not that there’s anything wrong with a wig, makeup, and heels - only if you’re pretending to be a dictatorial strongman asshole.

        It’s like Vance’s eyeliner: Makeup for men should be perfectly acceptable, if it helps them feel more comfortable. But when your base regularly hurls f-slurs, it’s just hypocritical.
