Trump is mentally ill.
The GOP presidential nominee has been stewing over Harris' media coverage — and decided to counter with a grievance-filled presser on Thursday.

Former President Donald Trump spoke for over an hour in a rambling news conference on Thursday, making dozens of false and outrageous claims in an effort to wrest the spotlight away from Vice President Kamala Harris’ surging 2024 presidential campaign.
Addressing reporters at his ritzy Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago, the GOP presidential nominee insisted his campaign was the one drawing large, enthusiastic crowds on the campaign trail — even though Harris’ rallies attracted tens of thousands this week — and claimed the vice president wasn’t “smart enough” to take questions from the media as he was doing.
“She’s not smart enough to do a news conference,” Trump said.
Trump also claimed he was willing to do three debates with Harris: Sept. 4 with Fox News, Sept. 10 with ABC News, and Sept. 25 with NBC News (the announcement required a clarification from Trump’s campaign regarding the host networks). Both campaigns had agreed to the Sept. 10 debate when President Joe Biden was still the presumptive nominee, but Trump canceled when Harris replaced Biden.
Harris’ campaign hasn’t said whether it’s agreed to all three dates, but Harris told reporters before boarding Air Force Two on Thursday evening that she was “looking forward” to the Sept. 10 debate, adding: “I hope he shows up.”
