Who the hell are the team?! Are they trying to help tank him? I cringed during his performance at the because it was clear he was pathetically striving to draw attention through creating a scene. I was embarrassed for him. He has been pathetically striving to gain coverage ever since. I know can hardly be "managed," but there are things in the handlers' control, such as not having ketchup and Fruit Loops near him when you KNOW he is going to go off the rails and start uttering batty .

Photo from ABC News fact-check article on Trump's luxury, Bedminster take on high living costs (yes, having such a speech at such a location is a bad look in and of itself). Trump is standing at a podium with a Trump-Vance 2024 sign on it. The podium stands in back of a long, table-clothed table. On the table, to each side of Trump, are laid out a number of food items as well as a doll house. The ketchup and Fruit Loops are certainly not the only foods on display, but they are, by my guesstimate, about two feet away from Trump (one of the poorly placed products to each side of Trump), meaning these poorly placed items are clearly in any photos of Trump. The table is long enough that even if the handlers felt those products needed to be displayed (they didn't), they could be out of camera range. This is a HUGE mistake of product placement.

The NABJ interview with Trump provides a model for media coverage

Trump’s appearance also afforded the opportunity later on Wednesday to 🔸rebuke his hateful rhetoric in a way that made him look like a sad has-been. 🔸

“It was the same old show. The and the ,”
she declared in a speech in Houston.

“And let me just say: The American people deserve better. The American people deserve better.”

She continued, “The American people deserve a leader who tells the ,
a leader who does not respond with hostility and anger when confronted with the .
We deserve a leader who understands that our differences do not divide us.
They are an essential source of our .”

🌟That’s how one puts Trump in his place without getting into a personal spat with him.


🌟No other single interview or media encounter with Trump in this cycle has laid bare as much about the candidate or opened him up to as much criticism.

👍Kudos go to Scott and her co-moderators in Chicago.

The NABJ interview also raises a troubling question:
❓What’s wrong with the rest of the media?❓


Not one question in the CNN-hosted debate with Trump and President Biden on June 27 confronted Trump about or .

(As to the latter, there has been inadequate coverage
— certainly not on the front page of most papers or headlining cable news
— devoted to Trump’s disparaging comments that ...
any Jew who does not support him is a “fool” and “should have their head examined,”

or agreement with a radio host who called Harris’s husband
a “crappy Jew❗️”)

CNN’s debate moderators
🔹did not ask about pardons for Jan. 6. insurrectionists.🔹


Unfortunately,
too many in the mainstream political media have been 🔹taken in by Republican spin. 🔹

The preposterous suggestion that,
after the assassination attempt,
Trump might have “changed,”
entertained as a possibility by far too many outlets

(as The Post’s Philip Bump and a select number of other commentators pointed out),

unsurprisingly turned out to be
