    He can’t stand that the media is talking about Biden and Harris and not him. He is a child shouting “Look at me!”

      The fact that there was an assassination attempt made against him within the last month, and we’ve all collectively moved on to talking about Harris must boil the black ichor that runs through his veins.

      I think he’s finally figured out that Harris is going to suck all the oxygen out of the room for a long time. He wants free airtime.

      I guess he thought wearing a huge bandaid on his ear claiming Jesus personally chose to save him while innocent little children all over the world died in various horrible ways would still be bigger news.

      It’s the core of his being. As a narcissist, “look at me” is the emotion driving all of his actions. Since 2015, the media and the GOP have seen him and just parroted “look at him” in an ever-more-deafening crescendo.

      It’s interesting how after that continuously escalating supply of attention, he goes through attention withdrawal at the slightest decrease in attention. I guess that’s where the “sociopath” part comes in handy, since he has no barriers to doing or saying anything to redirect attention to him. He’s like the perfect machine built to waste our time.

      Also, he wants to be president (and was president) and has no idea how shit works. Maybe that’s not a good sign.

    Trump still can’t bring his diseased brain around to the fact that Biden is no longer his opponent.

    This isn’t a campaign speech. There is no “equal time”.

    The guy can’t even understand he’s not president any more. Talk about cognignitive impairment. Republicans need a younger candidate.

    It’s only fair—if Biden gets coverage for announcing he’s dropping out of the race, Trump should get equal coverage when he announces he’s dropping out.

    The letter, written by Trump’s campaign manager David Warrington, argues that Biden’s speech is not a true news event but rather a “campaign advertisement during prime time.”

    They really, really don’t want Biden to have dropped from the race.

        And the whole reason he announced so early was because he knew the indictments were coming and wanted to play the “election interference” angle to try and shield himself from being held accountable.

          Well, that and he knew that he could grift lots and lots of money from people as long as it was for a “campaign”. Plus, if he claims that everything anyone ever does is “election interference”, then it becomes easier to justify using campaign funds for everything.

    As always, all one needs to do is pretend that Trump is an unusually tall and bald five-year-old, and what he says and does makes perfect sense.

      You are being deeply and unreasonably unfair to five-year-olds. The ones I’ve met tend to be curious, happy, utterly inclusive and considerably more coherent than the orange one.

      Only if the 5 year old spent those 5 years eating lead paint. In a meth lab. While on meth.

    The best response would be offering an impromptu debate between the two candidates following the address…
