He did little to quell reports that he is melting down over Harrisā€™s poll numbers.

Amidst reports that he hasĀ becomeĀ ungluedby having to compete withĀ Kamala Harris for the presidency,Ā Donald TrumpĀ held a press conference at Mar-a-Lago on Thursday. And if the goal was to reassure people that (1) he is not at all freaked out by the vice presidentā€™sĀ rising poll numbersĀ and (2) he is the best candidate for the White House, he was not exactly successful!

Trump repeatedly insulted Harrisā€™s intelligence, calling her ā€œbarely competent,ā€ saying that she ā€œcanā€™t do a news conferenceā€ because ā€œsheā€™s not smart enough,ā€ and claiming that sheā€™s ā€œnot as smartā€ asĀ Joe Biden. (As a reminder, TrumpĀ thinksĀ there were airports during the Revolutionary War and that itā€™sĀ safe to inject bleachĀ into the body; heā€™s also beenĀ describedĀ as an idiot by numerous people who worked for him.)

        I keep seeing conservatives say ā€œI just wish heā€™d keep his mouth shutā€. If the hardcore ones are saying that, imagine what the average person is saying. Youā€™re right, heā€™s absolutely sabotaging himself.
