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.

    He also complained about Obama golfing (at Air Force bases close to the White House). Trump nearly doubled his count (mostly at private/expensive golf courses).

    Republicans are nothing if not hypocrites.

      Mostly at his own private + expensive golf courses, where he was billing the secret service at exorbitant rates, which we all paid for in our taxes. That’s fucking bullshit, and reason #27564 that you shouldn’t vote for the guy.

      Obama golfing (at Air Force bases close to the White House).

      Golf courses specifically designed and built for heads of state and dignitaries to golf at because of house safe and secure they are. Mar-a-lago was allegedly a nightmare for the secret service to secure.
