Trump holds seemingly pointless press conference filled with false claims
Former President Donald Trump spent nearly an hour at his Palm Beach, Florida, social club on Thursday ranting to a room full of reporters as he tries to grab the spotlight from a resurgent Democratic ticket fronted by Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
The ex-president’s campaign had called the hand-picked group of journalists to Mar-a-Lago, where he attacked Harris as a “radical left person” during a rambling monologue in which he claimed that America is “in the most dangerous position it's ever been in” and “very close to a world war” without offering evidence to support those assertions. In one bit of news, Trump said that he has “agreed” to debates hosted by Fox News on September 4, ABC on September 10, and NBC on September 25.
“We have spoken to the heads of the network, and it's all been confirmed, other than some fairly minor details,” he said.
But only the September 10 debate on ABC has been agreed on by both the Trump campaign and the Democratic campaign now headed by Harris after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race last month.
