The thing is this could be such a powerful gotcha, but in the world of fast moving stimulation it’s a quick laugh and then buried. Even trump would pick it up for a second then drop it, raising an eyebrow then forgetting it. Nothjng seems to have weight or depth, everything just skims along. 20 years ago that would have been discussed for weeks the fact that a potential president had scored such an own goal comment. When all there is is noise then there’s no noise at all.
 
Trump admits to being a Dafty . But vows to sweat profusely and possibly remove to voting rights of women in future elections declaring them unsafe. He then admitted to sleeping with a North Korean despot whilst being pissed on by Valery Putin on Blue Peter.
 
"Election officials in Arizona and Ohio confirmed that Kennedy’s name will not be on the ballot in their states, and he is also listed as withdrawn from the race on the Texas secretary of state’s website. Kennedy’s campaign has also reportedly filed paperwork to remove his name from the ballot in Pennsylvania.

But in key battleground states of Michigan, Nevada and Wisconsin, election officials said it was too late for Kennedy to take his name off the ballot even if he wants to do so." lol
 
It seems surprising to me that Trump isn't constantly harping on about 'They tried to kill me' (that all-purpose Trump 'they' which leaves who 'they' refers to entirely to the imagination of his audience). The man loves to be a victim and he's literally had the closest brush to victimhood one can have, but he's not trying to capitalise from it.

The thin-skinned fool probably can't come to terms with the idea that someone doesn't like him let alone dislikes him enough to want to kill him. It goes against his narcissistic 'People love me, EVERYONE loves me, everyone says I'm the best' mantra.

Probably is, we just don't get the wall-to-wall coverage over here.

If the would-be assassin had been a lefty instead of being a right-wing nutball, we would never hear the end of it. Not just from him but also from the odious scumbags who prop him up and amplify his messaging both within Congress and across the airwaves...

Trump’s Outrageous January 6 Gala Is a Giant Flashing Warning Sign

Donald Trump is hosting a fundraiser for the insurrectionists who tried to kill democracy on January 6.
newrepublic.com newrepublic.com

Donald Trump has taken January 6 denialism to a new level: He’s going to be hosting an awards ceremony dedicated to the Capitol riot.

On September 5, a “J6 Awards Gala” will be held at Trump’s golf club in Bedminister, New Jersey. The event will include a raffle to win a plaque recognizing the “Justice For All” song performed by Trump and the “J6 Prison Choir,” which briefly reached the Billboard Music Chart. The choir is made up of defendants serving prison sentences for their actions in the Capitol in 2021.

Trump is scheduled as a guest speaker, as is his former lawyer and indicted co-defendant Rudy Giuliani. A separate flier for the event notes that tickets range from $2,500 for an individual to $50,000 for a table for 12.

“We gather to pay tribute not only to these individuals but to all J6 defendants who have shown incredible courage and sacrifice,” the event description states.

In a promotional video for the event, Trump calls the rioters “peaceful” and “hostages,” and adds that “there have never been people treated more horrifically than J6 hostages.”

Fancy stuff compared to the beer hall
 
I've seen various clips or short mentions in reports of crowds leaving Trump rallies early, this is an interesting article about why that could be happening.

We all know how important crowd size is to Donald Trump. That’s why liberals and Democrats enjoy sharing video clips on social media of his campaign rallies in which there appear to be lots of empty seats. But I think liberals and Democrats are missing the forest for the trees. Crowd size is not as important as crowd interest. The question isn’t whether they’re coming. It’s whether they’re staying. They aren’t.

About 7,000-8,000 people attended Trump’s rally on Friday in eastern Pennsylvania, according to Mary Wheeler. Another reporter at the venue (for the New York Post) said it can hold around 10,000. About an hour into Trump’s speechifying, however, attendees started heading for the exits, according to USA Today reporter Zac Anderson. “Looks like people are starting to trickle out of the Wilkes-Barre Trump rally as he goes past the hour mark. There appears to be more empty seats.”

This is important to say. The conventional wisdom among Republicans, former Republicans and the reporters who reflect their views is that Trump must stop playing the role of showman to win over indie voters, especially white women. He must stop saying things like he’s much better looking than Kamala Harris. (Yes, he said that.) They say he needs to stick to policy. “Trump doesn’t seem to be making a serious effort,” Charlie Dent, a former GOP congressman, told The Financial Times. “The focus is still all about maga [Make America Great Again]. But I’m sceptical that the maga base will be large enough to win.”

But the conventional wisdom among Republicans seems misguided. He’s already stopped playing that role of showman. Indeed, he may no longer be capable of playing it again. Something is very wrong with him. He’s habitually incoherent. His press conferences usually devolve into a word salad so impenetrable it’s like a foreign language. Bloomberg’s Tim O’Brien has said he’s not well. Point is: A showman never loses his audience. But Donald Trump appears to be losing his.

Crowd interest, more than crowd size, is worth our attention, because it tells us rallygoers are seeing something that the rest of us are not. I suspect what they are seeing, though perhaps without knowing it, is that Trump can’t communicate anymore. He talks and he talks, to be sure, but it’s not talking that makes any kind of sense. It’s gibberish, and gibberish never persuaded anyone to do anything. It can’t even persuade Trump voters to stay in their seats. Too many people are spending too much time parsing the meaning of this or that remark. Rallygoers aren’t bothering, though. They are telling us the truth.

Looks like Trump could well pull out of the only TV debate with Harris that has been agreed, to me it looks like he's coming up with excuses as it dawns on him that Harris is likely to perform better than him, which could boost her poll leads even further, and is possibly weighing up if the debate will be more damaging compared to appearing weak if he pulls out.

Former president Donald Trump suggested Sunday evening that he might skip a Sept. 10 ABC News debate with Vice President Kamala Harris (D), after agreeing to participate as the GOP presidential nominee earlier this month.

“I watched ABC FAKE NEWS this morning, both lightweight reporter Jonathan Carl’s (K?) ridiculous and biased interview of Tom Cotton (who was fantastic!), and their so-called Panel of Trump Haters, and I ask, why would I do the Debate against Kamala Harris on that network?” Trump asked in a social media post Sunday evening.

The Sept. 10 debate is the only one that both campaigns have officially committed to with a network. Trump’s renewed questioning of the ABC News debate comes as Harris has increased her lead in national polls and is gaining ground in key Midwestern swing states. As of Sunday, The Washington Post polling average has the vice president leading in Wisconsin by three points, in Pennsylvania by two points and in Michigan by less than one point. Trump continues to lead in the Sun Belt states, but Harris has significantly narrowed the gap.

He's really terrified of her, isn't he?

Certainly looks that way, although perhaps not totally giving up yet, he certainly seems to be struggling, and this Washington Post article from a couple of days ago seems to confirm it, again worth reading in full.

Trump allies try to energize him as he struggles to adapt to Harris​

The Republican nominee has fixated on Biden’s withdrawal: “It feels like he’s lost his mojo.”

Republican nominee Donald Trump looked cheerful playing golf at his New Jersey club one day earlier this month, then appeared bored in an afternoon news conference and dour during a reception with megadonor Miriam Adelson. He publicly mused about staying home during the Democratic National Convention, letting Vice President Kamala Harris hold the spotlight unchallenged.

Several former aides who have known Trump for years said he always preferred to keep a lighter schedule in August, when his family visited Bedminster and he usually golfed almost every day. But aides did not want a situation where he was watching the convention every night, getting angry, and then just golfing all day and stewing, according to people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private interactions. Trump also had grown annoyed with the news coverage that depicted him as not working as hard as his opponent, one person who talked to him said.

“The stakes for Trump this election are arguably the highest they’ve ever been. His criminal cases don’t go away if he loses. Yet he seems to be phoning it in, running a remarkably low-energy, undisciplined campaign,” said Alyssa Farah Griffin, a former White House spokeswoman who quit after Trump supporters attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. “From spending days off the campaign trail golfing to coming up with frankly weak nicknames like ‘Kamabala,’ it feels like he’s lost his mojo.”

How come (most of) these aren't federal crimes that could be pursued? I do wonder what Biden's been doing all this time.

The Republicans have lost the popular vote in six of the past seven presidential elections. 1,000 polling places have since closed across the country, with many of them in southern black communities.

The senator also cracked: “There’s a lot of liberal folks in those other schools who maybe we don’t want to vote. Maybe we want to make it just a little more difficult, and I think that’s a great idea.”
