Trump's Decline

[RaleBulgarian]

Trump is 78 yet still engages with interviews with the press...what's Kamala's excuse?

Credit where credit is due. Traitor Trump’s pathologic need for constant attention has driven him to jump at most interview opportunities.

Those interviews though, have done nothing to improve his standing among Americans because all that Traitor Trump does is regurgitate his same old ‘20 election fraud lies, lies about crowd sizes that nobody but himself gives a single shit about, cry about Harris becoming the Dem nominee, ramble on about the proper pronunciation of her name, lie about she always identified herself as Indian before “becoming black”, make absolutely absurd apocalyptic predictions about another Great Depression, imminent WW3, and on and on …

One thing’s for sure; when Harris does sit down for a proper interview, she’ll do a much, much, much better job than Traitor Trump.

I guess this response was meant for some other post. I don't deny it, at the moment she is doing good...

It won't last.

You hope, but have no supporting argument.

When your opponent calls you ‘communist,’ maybe don’t propose price controls?​

It’s hard to exaggerate how bad Kamala Harris’s price-gouging proposal is.

Seeing this headline you probably think its a link from Fox News or even Newsmax...Nope try the Washington post.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/08/15/kamala-harris-price-gouging-groceries/

“Price gouging” is the focus of Vice President Kamala Harris’s economic agenda, her presidential campaign says. She’ll crack down on “excessive prices” and “excessive corporate profits,” particularly for groceries.


So what level counts as “excessive,” you might ask? TBD, but Harris will ban it.
That’s the thing about price gouging: As has been said of hardcore pornography, you know it when you see it.

It’s not hard to figure out where this proposal came from. Voters want to blame someone for high grocery bills, and the presidential candidates have apparently decided the choices are either the Biden administration or corporate greed. Harris has chosen the latter.

Eventually at some point she is going to have to unwillingly give a lengthy interview or press conference. No matter how pro Kamala you are its going to be hard for any journalist to avoid hard to answer questions. Like when did you realize Biden was unfit to run? Or do you maintain (as you have) he's fit for office but was replaced because polls indicated he couldn't win? She's going to be asked about the economy. She's going to be asked why she has not just changed...but reversed her position on the major issues confronting our country? I know its crazy that the electorate has the gall to ask questions of someone who wants we the people to make her POTUS.

The most disastrous thing she can do is wait until the debate to finally answer some questions. That would be the wrong time to try out your answers to such basic questions.

I'll ask you the same question. What % profit is fair and what's gouging?

To be perfectly clear, I am far more anti-Traitor Trump than I am pro Harris.

I recognize Harris’ traditional pandering to her target audience for what it is, and expect that if she wins in November, she’ll do what most politicians do; mostly maintain the status quo, and maybe have a few successes despite Republican opposition.

I’ll most happily take that over 4 more years of absolute chaos in the Executive Branch, further erosion of our Constitution by MAGAt politicians intent on turning America into a real Gilead, blowing up the national debt by another $8,000,000,000,000+, destroying longtime foreign alliances, etc., etc., etc.

 

[DrewPaul]

LOL
If you want to call the softball fests he has with Musk and Fox So Called News 'interviews'.

He takes questions from the press pool and he was interviewed by the Black Journalist crowd and he is far more transparent as candidate or president than either Biden or Harris.

So what's Kamala's excuse again? If Harris becomes president is this what we should expect from her? To come out read a prepared statement then turn about and run out of the room as reporters representing we the people shout questions? Why not her current boss did it all the time.

Do you fact check what Trump says in the interviews or news conferences?
I have listened to most of the ones Trump has held so. I am impressed on how he can be so dishonest in what he says.

So what's Kamala's excuse again? If Harris becomes president is this what we should expect from her? To come out read a prepared statement then turn about and run out of the room as reporters representing we the people shout questions? Why not her current boss did it all the time.

You would have to ask her. I do not know nor would I speculate why she has not held news conferences or interviews.

And he bombed the black press pool interview.
So what;s his excuse?

Credit where credit is due. Traitor Trump’s pathologic need for constant attention has driven him to jump at most interview opportunities.

Back handed compliment to be sure. Does Kamala have a pathological need to hide from the press? As it turns out we know exactly why Biden hid from the press as much as possible but again what's her excuse? I know what her excuse is for the most pressing questions she doesn't have a good answer. She only has terrible answers and when she's caught like a deer in the headlights she launches into incomprehensible word salads or makes flippant remarks and laughs like a hyena. Its much more a logistical need to hide from the press.

Those interviews though, have done nothing to improve his standing among Americans because all that Traitor Trump does is regurgitate his same old ‘20 election fraud lies, lies about crowd sizes that nobody but himself gives a single shit about, cry about Harris becoming the Dem nominee, ramble on about the proper pronunciation of her name, lie about she always identified herself as Indian before “becoming black”, make absolutely absurd apocalyptic predictions about another Great Depression, imminent WW3, and on and on …

It was very effective for Trump to have a news conference where he placed common house hold items and showed the price differential between now and when he was president.

One thing’s for sure; when Harris does sit down for a proper interview, she’ll do a much, much, much better job than Traitor Trump.

Are you basing this on anything factual or did you just have dreams of Harris hitting it out of the park? She was asked why she hasn't been to the border since being named the Czar and her response was she hasn't been to Europe either. Don't you think if they made her Czar of Europe she would have visited there? Below she's asked to explain the conflict in Ukraine.



Kamala being questioned in a debate by Tulsi Gabbard



Tulsi Gabbard is helping Trump prepare for the debates. I believe it will be disastrous for Kamala to wait until the debate to answer questions. She needs to practice the answers now and make adjustments.

LMAO Your concern is touching. I notice that you still cannot acknowledge the garbled incomprehensible word wallows of mango MAGAt magnet's that I posted. Why not? Post 170 for reference. Anything to help!

 

[DrewPaul]

And he bombed the black press pool interview.

I don't think so...he stood on the firing line, didn't laugh hysterically or respond with an incomprehensible word salad answer. She claimed he didn't answer her first question...No what he didn't do was concede to her allegations posed as a question. He responded with actions he took as president and the record he has of greater minority employment, business ownership and home owner ship. He set up permanent funding for black colleges so they didn't have to come back every year asking for funding...that damn racist.

So what;s his excuse?

He didn't make excuses, he showed up unlike the hiding candidate.

He bombed it, just admit it.
He did far more harm to his campaign than good.

 

[DrewPaul]

I know what her excuse is...she fails miserably when tasked with speaking extemporaneously. She can't even do it at a rally with supporters. Of course its no big deal she'll just bring a teleprompter with her to all meeting with heads of state, to the debate and even to any future press conferences. Just hang on folks I'm waiting for my appropriate response to appear.

 

[DrewPaul]

Name 1 speech or interview you thought was good? The last one he gave was fantastic. He put the kitchen table right on display. Anyone of average income with 2 kids is amazed at how big a bite out of their asses a trip to the grocery store is. He put products out showing before and after his candidacy. No person of the household who does the shopping doesn't understand this. The new slogan Make America Affordable Again is going to resonate. I'm surprised Kamala hasn't taken that slogan yet.

 

[RaleBulgarian]

Back handed compliment to be sure.

Directed at Traitor Trump.

Does Kamala have a pathological need to hide from the press?

Political pundits have suggested that she has the luxury of holding the press off until after the debate, allowing the press to instead watch Traitor Trump continue to make a fool of himself.

I agree.

Another example of how things have flipped over the last month.

As it turns out we know exactly why Biden hid from the press as much as possible but again what's her excuse?

Already answered above.

I know what her excuse is for the most pressing questions she doesn't have a good answer.

Unless you’re a mind reader, you don’t know.

She only has terrible answers and when she's caught like a deer in the headlights she launches into incomprehensible word salads or makes flippant remarks and laughs like a hyena. It’s much more a logistical need to hide from the press.

Uh-huh.

It was very effective for Trump to have a news conference where he placed common house hold items and showed the price differential between now and when he was president.

If Traitor Trump’s interviews have been “very effective”, how come his polling numbers continue to drop?

Doesn’t take a professional political strategist to recognize that Traitor Trump’s performance during interviews has been counterproductive.

Are you basing this on anything factual or did you just have dreams of Harris hitting it out of the park?

Neither. I’m basing my opinion on being able to recognize the difference between someone capable of coherent speech and Traitor Trump.

… named the Czar …

Irrefutably, Harris was never named “border czar” by Biden.

Below she's asked to explain the conflict in Ukraine.

She put her answer in very simple terms so that the stupidest Americans (Trumpsters and MAGAts) could understand.

Nothing wrong with that.

Kamala being questioned in a debate by Tulsi Gabbard

Don’t care.

Tulsi Gabbard is helping Trump prepare for the debates. I believe it will be disastrous for Kamala to wait until the debate to answer questions. She needs to practice the answers now and make adjustments.

Sure. Hang onto that hope.

There's no "excuse" needed.

Some say he shit himself.

I’m good with both descriptions.

I don't fact check either candidate...frankly they all lie and exaggerate. I base on policy and performance. Trumps policies must be excellent since Kamala has reversed her self on major ones like the border, healthcare and fracking and now she even agrees with Trump on no tax on tips. Go Kamaga!!!

Well that's a pretty solid confirmation thanks. The facts dont matter to you. It's all about a cult of personality.

I hope that there are a lot more, a great majority, of voters this Nov with the character and patriotism to vote on what's best for the country and not a personality.

I know your suffering from TDS you don't have to prove it.

Political pundits have suggested that she has the luxury of holding the press off until after the debate, allowing the press to instead watch Traitor Trump continue to make a fool of himself.

Don't you have an opinion? It must be because we're getting closer to the election is making you go off the deep end. The last debate ended Biden's campaign. She needs to get out answers for basic questions now so she can do damage control and wordsmith the answers. If she waits until she is on the highest stage of her entire life with the utmost to lose to hone her answers she'll get hammered. Trump has done six presidential debates and he is under tough questioning all the time. I hope you're not working for and have a place of influence in the Kamaga campaign.

If Traitor Trump’s interviews have been “very effective”, how come his polling numbers continue to drop?

They're about even and Trump usually under polls from real numbers (remember 2016?). We'll get hard numbers about a week after their convention. I don't discount the possibility she could win.

 

[Lursa]

Not sure why you think she needs an excuse. I recall Trump not debating during the Primaries. Said he didn't need to. Were you ok with that?

They are so desperate to find something to attack her on...desperate to find something to camouflage mango MAGAt magnet's attacks, nastiness, lies, lack of substance, and age.

And it doesnt matter what she does introduce...it will be meaningless to them except as a target. It will be a lot of wasted typing...they're not going to vote for her and they're not going to change anyone's mind. They're reacting out of fear.

OTOH, we're (and it seems Harris/Walz too) happy to let MMM and mini-MMM speak for themselves. It gets worse each time they do

Donald Trump's Interview With Black Journalists Ends ..​

https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trumps-interview-black-journalists-ends-abruptly-1932829
Former President Donald Trump's appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) conference on Wednesday came to an abrupt end after a journalist attempted to ask the former president about Project 2025.




After a tense half hour of Trump fielding questions from journalists on stage, Fox News host Harris Faulkner began asking the former president about the controversial policy agenda drafted by a conservative think tank that lays out proposals for a future Republican administration. Trump has previously distanced himself from the 900-page document.

As Faulkner began her question, ABC News correspondent Rachel Scott, who also fielded questions to Trump, interrupted, saying that the panel needed to end at the direction of the Trump campaign

thanks for the reply.

You support a convicted felon.
imo, Trump performance he got lucky as a President. I highly doubt Trump would have been all that successful if he was President from 2020 to present day.

As far as the no tax on tip. Would you prefer Harris say it is a bad idea and not consider it? Seems to me the no tax on tip is common ground between the two. If it is good for America as Trump claims. Why would you not want it supported?

 

[mike2810]

Oh and remind him about post 170 too. He seems to find that one uncomfortably and inconveniently true.

He admits no fact checking is done.
Makes most of the posts just opinion nonsense.

We've been over this. She was surprised elevated to the Democratic nominee just three weeks ago.
In that time she had to assemble her team, research and select a VP, introduce the country to her campaign and VP pick, and ride that honeymoon, put together their campaign plan and strategy in time for the big reveal at the DNC convention starting tomorrow.
It's been a huge few weeks for her and the campaign, with polls dramatically shifted in her favor after Biden stepped down (still too close).

Are you honestly going to tell me that you think the responsible, wise, intelligent thing for her to do was:

Go on some random interview where she either steals her own thunder/DNC splash with essentially leaking it in tidbits?
Or that worse, she should not answer those kinds of questions to keep the thunder for the DNC, and then look like she's hiding something?

Please. She's done her speeches and rallies, picked a great guy for VP, and for the next few days they will be on TV at the DNC convention, with all the former Democratic presidents, even some Republicans, supporting Harris.
But you know, Trump had Hulk Hogan (courtesy Peter Thiel...JD Vance, also courtesy Peter Thiel)

Trump can't stop scaring people off with his mad, off-message ramblings, so here you are pitching that as a virtue, and knowing Harris doesn't have her ducks in a row before the DNC, you hoot at holler that it's so bad.

Silly stuff DrewPaul.

Read some, it will do you good:

Harris and Trump: Compare where they stand on key issues

The 2024 presidential election will give voters a stark choice between Harris and Trump. See where they stand on issues like taxes, EVs, climate change, TikTok and more.

www.nbcnews.com

Fact check too while you're at it. Voting for a lying shitheel can have consequences. How can you vote policy, if they lie about policy?

 

[DrewPaul]

thanks for the reply.

You support a convicted felon.

He's got a record but as Rocky Balboa once said...its nothing to brag about. You view it as some horrible crime he committed. I see it as attacking a political adversary, the way we seen it done in other countries. You claim this is a reason not to vote for Trump others see it as a reason to vote for him. All and all I'd say all the law fare which they hoped would knock him out only led to his rise in the polls.

imo, Trump performance he got lucky as a President. I highly doubt Trump would have been all that successful if he was President from 2020 to present day.

He went against a formidable opponent who was a political savant that the polls had winning by leaps and bounds. The coronation of Hillary turned into a wake. He was advised not to bother trying to turn the northern blue wall states but he believed there were a lot of Reagan democrats who could be flipped. He got breaks Hillary was a terrible candidate. Even so she's a better candidate and far more shrewd politician than Kamala.

As far as the no tax on tip. Would you prefer Harris say it is a bad idea and not consider it? Seems to me the no tax on tip is common ground between the two. If it is good for America as Trump claims. Why would you not want it supported?

If she said she agrees with her opponents idea of no taxing tips I'd agree. Instead she acts as if it originated with her. I'd like to ask her if she knew Trump had already made that a campaign pledge. I don't think she did because otherwise she would probably be against it.
