Donald J. Trump plans to hold a “general news conference” on Thursday afternoon at his private club and home, Mar-a-Lago, the first such event he has held in months.
Mr. Trump announced the event on his website, Truth Social, on Thursday morning.
It would be hilarious if he was dumping Vance from the ticket, but I have a hunch this will be something racist - maybe he’s going to accuse Kamala of not being American and we’re going to have to deal with a whole Birtherism 2.0 “movement”
we’re going to have to deal with a whole Birtherism 2.0 “movement”
AKA BM 2.0
Oh, shit…
Not Number Two.
Damn - I totally blew the opportunity for BM #2
😭
Whatever you do, don’t blow a BM.
I suspect he’s dropping out on some pretense, now that the campaign stopped being fun. If there is any chance in hell he could get a deal to get his sentence(s) commuted, I think he’d do it in a heartbeat.
His dropping out seems very unlikely. Not impossible by any means, but unlikely. He doesn’t seem like the person who’s capable of admitting defeat, especially considering his legal troubles
I agree, and I think we’re working from the same priors. I just have a funny little hunch.
Heh, I get it. Let’s see what happens – I’d certainly enjoy the chaos that Trump dropping out would cause. Republicans would go fucking nuts

It would have a pleasing symmetry with the headache Biden has caused with the old guard in the Dem party that wanted him out.
More likely than him “dropping out” would be him saying that there would be no Republican candidate for president “because the election is rigged!!!”
I could see this also, a bad faith withdrawal and pivot to inciting further insurrection. My gut tells me that some kind of historical first is coming down the pipe.
Could use it as an excuse for another coup attempt
I think if Trump was projected to lose by an embarrassing margin - I’m talking like 75-25 - he might prefer trying to weasel out of having a legitimate devastating loss on official record. That’s not happening though with how big his base is, and with the electoral college being the way it is he is still probably favoured to win - though yes the polls are slipping.
Regardless, I can’t see him dropping out now.

No way. Trump would just use that as “proof” that the election was rigged. In his mind there is no way people wouldn’t vote him into office, so any scenario where he loses, his narcissism would force him to claim there was election malfeasance .
You’re probably right.
He is still in quite a bit of legal jeopardy. I highly doubt he would drop out knowing that some lawsuits have only been held at bay due to the position of power a presidential candidate and the godhead of a cult has.
Not that I believe this is the case AT ALL, but to further this line of thought:
If he was dropping out, it would be because he’s already got the party machine going on a new (guaranteed) nominee who would have already promised to pardon trump (and this promise would be assured by some damning fact trump could use as an assurance)
He won’t. The only reason he is running this time is to stay out of jail though I think.
If he drops out, I guarantee he’s going to be doing a runner shortly after.
It’s more likely he’ll use this event to set up things for a civil war
I could easily see that. Right now the only thing I’m not expecting is for the next couple of months to be uneventful.
0% chance. Narcissists cannot admit defeat.
Can he dump Vance at the moment though? The RNC has already voted and he’s already been certified as the VP candidate.
I know Vance could step down and Trump could appoint a new VP, but I’m not sure that Trump has the ability to “fire” him.I know Vance could step down and Trump could appoint a new VP, but I’m not sure that Trump has the ability to “fire” him.
Trump would be the type to announce he’s firing Vance so he can be The Strong Man™ but it would in reality have to be Vance stepping down. It all works out to be the same result though.
I’m not sure that Trump has the ability to “fire” him.
That’s never stopped him before
I’m sure it’ll be tactful, thought-provoking, revealing, humorous, witty, intelligent, factual, and memorized word-for-word to be recited ala Churchill, JFK, MLK et al for centuries to come.
PS - 'shrooms for sale! DM for info.
No lies even!
Prediction: he’s going to announce he’s selling golden Trump brand dildos so everyone can go fuck themselves.
“golden” dildos, at $1000. But if you opt for the “I’ve always supported you, and believe all your lies” version for $100,000 you can get the ultra special trump bucks dildo, modeled off your savior trump’s dick itself*. (*Note: all special versions are the same as the regular, any and all payments are recurring subscriptions and cannot be cancelled except in person)
Why is mine tarnishing? Is this even real gold?
It’s crusted with diamond dust!
Golden couches.
With a special pocket for glove and lube storage.
Not too many comments actually make me laugh out loud, thanks for the laugh!
Nah, with J.ust D.umb Vance now on board, it’ll probably be a new “Freedom Couch” sold exclusively at Bob’s Discount Furniture.
“Why aren’t you all paying attention to me anymore?”
Realistically, no matter what the topic is, this is the core problem.
Harris should hold a town hall at the exact same time…
My diaper’s full and I need changing! 🧷
Is it to claim that he has really important news about Kamala’s birth certificate and he’ll be sharing it at a later date?
But what about the long form birth certificate? /s
It’s not October yet
-
Rant and rave about nonsense for an hour (given)
-
Announce that all “bogus” charges against you have been dropped
-
In a completely unrelated event, announce that you’re dropping out of the race
-
Fuck off to Moscow forever
-
He’s going to announce that he’s dumping JD “Couch Fucking” Vance and his new VP pick is Vladimir “Genocidal Clown” Putin.
Adina Ross gave him an Elon so now Trump is gonna let the briber have Vances spot
I’d love for Kamala to sue him for defamation.
I still remember hearing that scum sucker Trump talk about wanting to tighten the libel laws before he was president, obviously so people couldn’t accurately talk about him as president.
He needs to pay his bill from EJC suit. Maybe with an actual consequence followed through he will learn to shut his mouth.
I see some people saying he’s going to drop out.
Almost having his head turn into pink mist plus slipping in the polls. He can’t take it anymore.
That will never happen. His free life depends on him winning and using the DOJ to wipe away the remaining cases against him.
“Judge” Cannon has been buying him time so he can win and erase everything, but she can’t drop the cases for him.
That and whatever deal he has with Putin will have him stuck with this. He does in fact want a Trump Moscow hotel after all.
His ego would never allow it
To protect himself from polling behind and losing to a coloured women though?
That’s not how his brain works. From his point of view he’s always winning. It’s like a law of nature for him. That’s where all the fake facts come from. If the facts say he lost, the facts must be wrong
Why is this news?
It isn’t, but it drives clicks.
I’m calling my shot: by the end of September, he drops the hard R in public.
Ok. It’s Thursday. When’s the conference?
The conference is going to happen two weeks from now.
Donald J. Trump plans to hold a “general news conference” on Thursday afternoon at his private club and home, Mar-a-Lago, the first such event he has held in months.

Where are you seeing the two weeks figure?
Maybe it’s finally JFK back from the dead to anoint Trump King of America
Or are we not doing that anymore?
JFK is gonna hold off cause he doesn’t wanna run against his nephew
And he’s going charge everyone to attend. Just ignore the shithead. Why does it have to be on his own private venue? Just do it in a McDonald’s; it’s basically his second home
Let’s hope he is dropping out of the race because of mental health issues.
