One of the best indicators that the Donald Trump campaign has suffered yet another catastrophic collapse is the scheduling of an emergency media event to stir in some irrelevancies intended to deflect from the damage he’s done.

The frantic rush to fumigate his political house drove Trump to hold what he called a “press conference” following the fiasco of his Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday. The interminably long and unbearably tedious affair was rife with the sort of demagogic White supremacism that marked the previous “America First” rally staged at MSG 85 years ago by the American Nazi Party.

Trump and his campaign knew that they had laid a rotten egg shortly after a featured guest speaker insulted Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage.” And while the campaign made a mild statement that the “joke” didn’t “reflect the views” of the campaign, Trump himself has still failed to repudiate it or apologize. And that slur only scratched the surface of the hostility that was rampant at the Garden.
Instead, Trump held a phony press conference that was nothing more than another opportunity to spew the very same repulsive rhetoric that he unloads at his cult rallies. The venue for this sham was his own Mar-a-Lago home/hotel, and he was still more than an hour late arriving. Plus, he packed the room with his supporters who were cheering on cue for everything he said.
Trump never mentioned the demeaning of Puerto Rico and the millions of Puerto Rican citizens throughout the United States. But he did launch ludicrous and baseless attacks on Kamala Harris for running a “campaign of hate” and “trying to destroy our country.” Which was pure projection on Trump’s part. What’s more, he ducked out the back way without taking a single question from the assembled reporters. Why on Earth would any journalist bother to show up for this sort of charade?
In a fit of deliberate deception Trump repeatedly referred to the MSG hate-mongering as a “love fest.” Which, ironically, is the very same way he described the deadly January 6th insurrection that that he incited.

Fox News carried Trump’s so-called press conference without correcting any of the obvious lies he told on a variety of subjects. However, there was one thing that Fox’s Harris Faulkner felt compelled to correct…
“At the very beginning, you heard the former president talk about a stolen election. And while he may feel a certain way, the facts remain, Joe Biden was declared the winner with 51% of the vote. The states certified those results of the 2020 election, and Congress accepted those results. Now, the nation is moving toward November 5th.”

UH-OH. Faulkner just contradicted Trump about his insistence that the 2020 election was “rigged and stolen” from him. That’s likely to earn her a Truth Social shoutout from him saying that “I HATE HARRIS FAULKNER AND FOX NEWS!!!” But she may have felt some pressure to make this particular correction because it’s on the same subject for which Fox News lost a $787 million defamation lawsuit by Dominion Voting Systems.
As for Faulkner’s observation that “nation is moving toward November 5th,” that’s something that the calendar makes irrefutable. But it doesn’t stop Trump or Fox News from setting up another round of election denying after the 2024 results are in. In fact, they have already started. And the spectacle of Trump continuing to rant about 2020 at this mockery of a press conference is proof of it.
For the record, when Trump completed his prepared whining, he left the room to the applause of his MAGA audience, and his campaign anthem, “YMCA.” So what exactly made this “press conference” different from his rallies?
