Meanwhile, Harris has aggresively hit the campaign trail, hoping to fire up voters in battleground states across the country

On Thursday, former president Donald Trump attempted to — yet again — recalibrate his campaign, this time with a press conference at his property in Bedminster, New Jersey.

The appearance at his beloved golf course comes exactly one week after Trump tried to put the spotlight back on himself amid Vice President Kamala Harris’s surging poll numbers, with a press conference at his Florida home of Mar-a-Lago. He used the event to grumble over crowd sizes, at one point stating incorrectly that his speech before the January 6 riot at the Capitol had more attendees than Martin Luther King’s 1963 March on Washington.

It’s noteworthy that both of these “press conferences” happened at his own properties — the safest of spaces for the former president.

      Thanks - I was hoping for something more in depth, but this certainly could be it…:

      According to Vanity Fair’s sources, another theory floating among Trump’s circle is that he is suffering from the trauma of the assassination attempt against him in July.

      “He’s been watching that seven-second clip of how close he was to getting shot right in the head—over and over and over again,” said a Republican close to the campaign. “He may actually legit have PTSD.” A campaign official confirmed that it continues to affect Trump. “He’s been through a lot,” he said.
