Toward the end of a meandering news conference, Donald Trump said he was allowed to continue his barrage of personal attacks even as Republicans push him to shift his tone.
Toward the end of a meandering news conference, former president Donald Trump insisted he was “entitled” to continue his barrage of personal attacks against Vice President Kamala Harris, even as Republican allies are pushing him to shift his tone and emphasise policy issues.
His nearly 80-minute news conference was intended, in part, to show his renewed emphasis on the economy, inflation and other policy issues. He had props displayed on either side of him in anticipation of such a focus: a grocery-store haul that included 3 gallons of milk, seven Campbell’s soup cans, at least three dozen eggs and a box of Cheerios cereal that Trump said he wanted to take home with him.
Still, Trump hewed a bit closer to his prepared remarks than he typically does during his events, as he tried to lay the blame for the Biden administration’s economic policies on Harris — even though he had been blaming Biden for the same issues for years. Speaking for nearly 45 minutes before taking questions, Trump tried to argue to reporters that Harris was “a radical California liberal who broke the economy, broke the border and broke the world”.
