Donald Trump’s staff is doing injury management after his disastrous Thursday press convention. His efficiency on the “self-announced” occasion was rambling, incoherent, and downright bizarre—except you’re a MAGA true believer, in fact.
“This is a disciplined campaign,” Karoline Leavitt, the Trump marketing campaign’s nationwide press secretary, instructed Fox Information shortly after the press convention ended. “And we’re disciplined because we are led by President Trump, who wakes up every day and focuses on the issues that matter to the American people.”
A type of “issues that matter to the American people” appears to have been Trump’s declare that he spoke to a bigger crowd on Jan. 6, 2021, than Martin Luther King Jr. did throughout his well-known “I Have a Dream” speech.
On the right-wing community Newsmax, Leavitt was requested on Friday about Trump’s declare that he virtually died in a helicopter crash with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown—a declare that has been totally debunked, together with by Brown himself.
“Uh, I would just refer you to President Trump’s statement and what he said yesterday,” she responded. “The president has a lot of amazing stories from his life.”
In order that’s a … he’s-an-amazing-liar spin?
Caroline Sunshine, the deputy communications director for the Trump marketing campaign, additionally went on Newsmax on Friday, spinning Trump’s wandering verbosity as proof that he’s a “leader” prepared to “take tough questions.”
A few of these supposedly robust questions Trump was requested? Was he apprehensive in regards to the crowd sizes at marketing campaign occasions for Vice President Kamala Harris and her operating mate, Tim Walz? Did he know that Harris as soon as dated Brown? And did he “follow” the right-wing “discussion” about Harris’ “career trajectory”?
It’s onerous to spin Trump’s defensive, ornery, and meandering press convention as something aside from what it plainly was: a man freaking out as he slips within the polls.
Donate to Kamala Harris’ marketing campaign and assist defeat MAGA this November.
