*********** presidential nominee Donald Trump at a news conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate on Aug. 08, 2024, in Palm Beach, Fla.

Several times, he mentioned that Biden is “very unhappy” about having to leave the race, something I’m sure he knows for a fact. It’s an extension of a Truth Social post he shared Tuesday.

“What are the chances that Crooked Joe Biden, the WORST President in the history of the U.S., whose Presidency was Unconstitutionally STOLEN from him by Kamabla, Barrack HUSSEIN Obama, Crazy Nancy Pelosi, Shifty Adam Schiff, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, and others on the Lunatic Left, CRASHES the Democrat National Convention and tries to take back the Nomination, beginning with challenging me to another DEBATE,” he wrote on the platform.

‘Kamabla’? Trump isn’t just losing the election, he’s losing his mind.

Trump also gave his thoughts on Harris’ position on *******. He incorrectly said she supports an arms embargo on *******, even though her

What is Trump actually worried about?

Maybe Trump’s campaign is concerned about polling. The vice president has pulled ahead of him in

While polls never tell the full story, they can determine the next steps for a campaign and set the course for the rest of the election. These new polls also show that Harris is a political threat to Trump that

After an hour of talking, Trump ******* to discuss his own plans for a future presidency and instead resorted to hyperbole about his record and his opponent’s. It would have been nice to hear him talk about policy and his plans for the campaign leading up to November.

After eight years of this, however, most of us have learned not to expect anything substantial from him. So we’ll all just wait for his next rambling news conference.
