Donald Trump called a news conference yesterday at his residence in Mar-a-Lago after barely campaigning this week, only to ramble at reporters on a variety of subjects and make multiple false claims before conceding that he will debate Harris on her terms, on September 10 on ABC.
His lesbian and clinical psychologist niece, Mary Trump, summed up his news conference in one joke that really only she is in a position to tell.

Donald Trump insulted Haley’s husband but Haley is more worried about her career in the GOP, Mary Trump speculated.
“This is someone’s old racist uncle ranting on a street corner in front of a bunch of flags,” she wrote on X. “I should know.”

Trump discussed a wide variety of topics at the news conference, where he stood in front of several American flags in his home. He even touched on LGBTQ+ issues, attacking Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) for being on the “radical left” and “heavy into the transgender world,” referring to how they oppose taking rights away from transgender people.
At one point, while taking questions, it appeared he didn’t even remember that he accused Harris of deciding to “turn Black” during an interview with the National Association of Black Journalists just last week.
A reporter asked: “Kamala Harris’ father is Jamaican American and she went to a historically Black college. How is she only recently deciding to be Black?”
“Well, you’ll have to ask her that question because she’s the one that said it,” Trump said, even though Harris never said that. “I didn’t say it, so you’ll have to ask her.”
“At one point it looked like he was gonna cry,” Mary Trump said on YouTube. “He looked so lost, he looked so incredibly incompetent and clueless that- and crazy.”
“He looked damaged and weak.”
“I swear to God, if the New York Times doesn’t call for him to step down, I don’t know what I’m gonna do,” she said, likely referring to how the New York Times called for President Joe Biden to remove himself from the 2024 elections after his debate with Trump in June. “He rambled, he goes on tangents that make no sense.”
“It’s a disaster,” she continued. “I’m guessing that people on his campaign teams, the Republican party, are freaking out.”
She also called out her uncle for getting mad at a “stupid question” a reporter asked.
“I mean, the rudeness, just how offensive that is, to speak to another human being that way, let alone one who is just trying to do- probably the only person in the room that is trying to do a job.”
“If he’s pressed the way we know Kamala Harris can press him, he’s not going to be able to keep it together.”
