Trump press conference, June 13, 2024

It’s 2:44 pm, EDT. Trump is holding a press conference in Washington DC.

So far, plenty of “Nobody’s ever seens.”

People coming in from all over the world, from mental institutions.

“Press conference” as in taking and answering questions from the press? Or just another opportunity to bloviate on camera?

1:44 pm, perhaps?

Maybe hasn’t started yet?

He doesn’t look quite so orange today.

The US is being laughed at, all over the world, Biden is being laughed at by the rest of the world. They’re looking at us as a bad example of democracy.

“We’re gonna have a tremendous election.”

Damn! I was interrupted mid-post by a business call. Anybody catch the rest of the press conference?

I did not.
But I am currently listening to Presidents Biden and Zelenskyy take questions from the press concerning the US commitment to arm Ukraine.
There have been a few thinly veiled questions alluding to the integrity of said commitments should American leadership change hands.
Were there any questions from the press during the one that you watched?

MeidasTouch coverage (8 min). Hannibal Lecter, tariffs, Nancy Pelosi, Taylor Swift, Milwaukee sucks, Dems want to kill babies after birth.

I can’t say. I was interrupted by a business call that lasted about a half-hour, which prompted another business call that lasted almost as long.

Jeez, you’d think it was a workday or something! :wink:

I did have the Biden-Zelensky press conference on in the background. I get it, it’s about Ukraine and its conflict with Russia. That’s what this press conference is all about. So why are American reporters asking about Hunter Biden’s legal matters?

I heard one question that afforded Biden the opportunity to declare before the world audience that he accepted the jury’s verdict.
I sure couldn’t say why some reporter asked a specific question.

“…we didn’t start the fire.”

Okay, I truly laughed IRL to that one.

Isn’t that essentially the GOP position? They only care about fetuses. Once you’re born, you’re on your own.

He seems to be hanging on to the Hannibal Lecter joke. Fucking hilarious for a 5 year old.

Nice guy… He even had a friend over for dinner.

I didn’t see it but from reports and the general tone of the rants it sounds like the orange felon is terrified that he might lose the election. And then he’s really screwed.

I have said before that I think if a person went into a maternity ward with an AR-15, the GOP would be arguing on behalf of the gun rather than the babies.

His argument will be that because political interference caused him to “lose” the election (which he actually won and the evidence of that will be here in two weeks), all these charges should be dropped because the whole thing was clearly a witch hunt sham the likes of which we have never seen before. In other words, his usual whine of “rules don’t apply to me because I’m special!” I also believe he will immediately declare that he is the Republican nominee for the 2028 election and cannot be prosecuted because this will be further political interference. I predict two out of three judges will have very little patience for this and even the third one might have to finally admit that this guy is just a sore loser with a bad case of short, sticky fingers.

Let him bloviate. Extensively. Without constraint.
Are there any non-committed MAGAs who this will resonate with their values and change their vote to TRUMP on the basis of this or subsequent sessions? Any Biden voters who will change their vote?

Never interrupt an opponent when they are making a mistake.

He can gripe about that all he wants until the prison guard smacks the bars and tells him to shut up.
