On Thursday, Donald Trump walked into a room of journalists gathered at his Mar-a-Lago estate for a news conference. He didn’t look particularly happy.

His remarks came after a week in which Kamala Harris and her new running mate Tim Walz have dominated media attention, raked in millions of dollars and enjoyed a bump in polling. Trump’s media event seemed more an attempt to win back the spotlight than announce anything new.

      I mean not only does he have to compete with Harris and Walz, he has to compete against his own running mate. The press doesn’t care about a Harris/Trump debate because they know how it is going to go and it will be as dry as the Sahara, but a Walz/Vance debate? With Walz’s comedic timing vs Vance’s complete lack of awareness? That’s gonna bring in the ratings. At this point Trump is a distant 4th for ratings for them.

      BOHICA.

      Cuz “Bend Over, it’s getting weird again” is just an unpronounceable mess. BOIGWA. Boi-ghwah?bo-ig-wa?

      Sounds like one of the weird camp songs my SiL sings whenever we’re out hiking.
