On Thursday, Donald Trump walked into a room of journalists gathered at his Mar-a-Lago estate for a news conference. He didn’t look particularly happy.
His remarks came after a week in which Kamala Harris and her new running mate Tim Walz have dominated media attention, raked in millions of dollars and enjoyed a bump in polling. Trump’s media event seemed more an attempt to win back the spotlight than announce anything new.
It’s every attention hungry narcissists worst nightmare: somebody else is getting attention!
“Call an emergency news conference so I can spout nonsense for an hour as a free commercial on every network.”
They feel for it, and even generally skipped coverage of his opponent. Mission accomplished!
