Donald Trump held a press conference at Mar a Lago on Thursday, rambling on for 75 minutes. His performance was clearly a melt down of major proportions.
He told a ton of lies, but what stood out even more was his obsession, as always, with the size of his crowds at public rallies and other events.
Trump has claimed that his 2017 Inauguration crowd was larger than that of Barack Obama in 2009, a total lie. This blogger and author was actually present at that historic inauguration, and knows personally how massive that crowd was on a very cold day, but people were willing to tolerate the cold weather.
Trump is now contesting, against reality, that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz only had about 2,000 people at their rallies in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan, when the totals were between 12,000 and 15,000 at each rally, with the last two outside and in very hot weather.
And even more crazy, Trump is claiming that his crowds at many events, including his inauguration, were greater than on August 28, 1963, when Martin Luther King Jr. spoke before a crowd of 250,000 at the March on Washington!
Trump came up with absolutely insane numbers much higher than that date’s 250,000.
One has to say that seriously, Trump is in rapid decline, as the oldest Presidential nominee in American history!
If somehow he is elected, JD Vance will be the nightmare who is our President, despite the fact that he is a massive phony, who is a chameleon willing to say anything to advance himself!

Huge crowd at the Harris-Walz rally in Arizona tonight!
The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) endorsed the Harris-Walz ticket, marking the first time in its 95-year history that the civil rights group has made a presidential endorsement, NBC News reported.

I think he’s considering for the first time that he might lose again and he is not psychologically equipped to deal with that reality. Sure, he’ll fight it and tell his supporters that it was stolen and perhaps even incite more violence. But deep down he knows he might actually lose just as he knows deep down that he lost in 2020. There’s a look of panic in his eyes right now. If he fails this time he might just break apart at the seams.
Trump is having a rally in Bozeman, Montana tonight. NYT reported that his plane had to land in Billings because of a “mechanical issue”. He had to apparently wait for a much smaller jet to continue on to Bozeman 100 miles away.
Small hands. Small crowds. Small jet. LOL!
Seems his jet is a bit of a clunker like his campaign.
He probably told his mechanic to come up with something — he needs another “brush with death” story, since no one’s buying his “which Brown was I flying with?” helicopter lie.
So the plane is a lemon, just like his running mate.

Here’s where the presidential candidates are expected to be on Saturday:
* Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will wrap up their five-day trek through five battleground states with a rally tonight in Las Vegas.
*Former President Donald Trump is also in the West, where he is expected to participate in a campaign fundraiser in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, before attending another fundraiser in Aspen, Colorado.
According to a recent Newsweek report, the vice president is gaining ground with white voters.

At his rally in Montana last night, Trump told his stupid followers a ridiculous fan fiction story that he’s come up with: Biden will take the nomination back from Harris at the DNC convention. LOL!
He wants Biden back because he knows he’s losing to her.
Trump claims he raised $28 million in Montana and Wyoming fundraisers.
“Great visit to Montana and Wyoming, where I am leading BIG,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “… Anyway, the two day visit raised $28,000,000 for our very successful Presidential Campaign. Thank you to a truly beautiful part of the World!”
The New York Times is reporting that Trump is attacking donors, throwing his running mate under the bus, and lashing out at staff.

Trump lies about everything, so I very much doubt he raised that much.
For the first time this election cycle, voters trust the Democratic candidate more than former President Trump on the economy, according to new polling released by the Financial Times and the University of Michigan.
