DuringĀ his press conferenceĀ at his Bedminster, N.J., property, Trump was asked by multiple journalists about criticism from some Republicans that he needs to be more disciplined and lay off the personal attacks on Harris. He responded that he was ā€œentitled to personal attacks.ā€

The Harris campaign criticized the event, saying he had ā€œa stream of not-much-consciousnessā€ and then ā€œit did not get betterā€ when he took questions.

ā€œAt his country club,Ā Donald Trump, huffed and puffed his opposition to lowering food costs for middle and working class Americans and prescription drug costs for seniors before pivoting back to his usual lies and delusions,ā€ spokesperson James Singer said.

    lol genuine question: what the fuck is wrong with people who STILL think trump is going to listen to anyone who tells him anything other than everything heā€™s doing is perfect, and exactly the right thing to do

      Itā€™s a wonderfully baited question. If he agrees he admits heā€™s undisciplined and isnā€™t being effective. If he disagrees he gives more ammunition to the unhinged, old man losing his mind narrative.

      Even without the obvious fact that trump never backs down itā€™s so good to make the news cycle about him losing (his mind or polls)

      Honestly, Iā€™m starting to think that heā€™s just a contrarian whenever a question is phrased like that

      The follow up to that question is ā€œcan you name three things that you are not ā€œentitled toā€?ā€
