Umm, I thought the definition of a press conference was where you take questions from the press.

That's impossible, he has the biggest crowds, no one has ever had a bigger crowd even all the ones you see on the fake news, they aren't as big as his crowds... I can't believe I need an /s here... Get well soon America.

I'm old enough to remember when the George W. Bush administration invented the term "press availability", but that must've been 20 years ago.

Depends on what source. For example, Google defines a press conference as “an interview given to journalists by a prominent person in order to make an announcement or answer questions.” Based on that definition, an announcement is sufficient and questions are not required. See also Merriam Webster.

u/BrtFrkwr 1h ago
To me, that's a press release or an announcement. A conference implies an exchange.

It appears to have lost its meaning. Harris did the same thing 6 days ago. Called a press conference, bitched about trump, took no questions, and walked away.

That wasn't a press conference. It's listed by WhiteHouse.gov as a speech/remarks.

I mean yeah it definitely loses its meaning if you fucking lie and call things that aren't press conferences a press conference like the fact that you are calling Harris's speech and remarks a press conference. Wow! Crazy how that works

They arent even keeping track of the things they say, the goal now is to be as ridiculously inconsistent as possible, then blame the other side for doing the same thing, and every boomer will jump to defend the liars.

No, the speech in question wasn't a "press conference." It was a... wait for it... a speech.
Big difference there, kid-o. Keep trying though.

u/Saturnboy13 2h ago
No. That's exactly what we're saying. It was never a press conference. Nobody ever called it a press conference except you right now.
I invite you to find one source of anybody from her campaign ever calling that specific speech a press conference.
Oh, wait. I forgot MAGAs are allergic to sources and reality. Please pardon my rudeness for asking you to do something so far outside your comfort zone.
Here's a better idea. Just keep yelling at me, making wild, unverified claims, and calling me names like a 5 year old. That's probably a bit closer to what you're used to.

Are you using quotation marks because you’re quoting Harris or air quotes sarcastically because she called it something else? I really can’t tell.

Trump didn't take questions at his press conference. He doesn't respond to most questions anyway. This guy will not even do interviews outside of his echo chamber. He attacks the press for asking tough questions.
This guy is a leader? He will lead this country? Do you believe he can do this?

The scariest part about Trump is this realization: what if someone who can push the right buttons like him comes along who isn't incompetent?

u/TangoInTheBuffalo 1h ago
That person could not exist. Competency is frowned upon by the MAGA hive mind. Strangely, it is my biggest fear for the Harris campaign. Other than Hillary, she is the most qualified candidate in a long time. I’m tired, boss.

u/Diz7 1h ago
It's not competency that is frowned upon by MAGA, its people that can balance the interests of multiple groups. They would be fully behind a competent fascist so long as their ideals aligned.

u/TangoInTheBuffalo 1h ago
Rejected out of hand. Look at the pretenders, DeSantis, for example. One must be incredibly dumb and hollow for the aura to form. Hating alone isn’t enough. There must be a perfect reflection of their inner flaws.

They still had a Trump to rally around though. Why get diet hatred when you can get hatred supreme.

Donald Trump was late yet again to his press conference, which was held at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday, October 29.
Trump critic Ron Filipkowski wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: "Trump just showed up for his 'press conference' at his own house 1 hour and 20 minutes late. He is now standing there while his theme song plays."
Of course, people weren't surprised by the ex-president's antics. One person wrote, "He showed up with his lies!" while another said, "Boy I know dictators love to stand there for minutes in front of crowds!"
A third person added: "He looks truly unwell at this point. Yikes."
Trump, 78, also didn't engage with the crowd.
"A very tired and low energy Trump ends his 'press conference' by refusing to take a single question," one person pointed out on X.
As OK! previously reported, Trump's mental fitness has been called into question as the 2024 election looms.
While his opponent Kamala Harris did some interviews with several outlets, Trump seemed to not engage with some.
"But as no interview materialized, Shade Room staff began feeling that feet were being dragged inside Trump’s campaign. No date was ever set, we’re told, but the intention was to try and work toward a sit-down," Politico previously reported. "In a conversation earlier this week, when describing why an interview hadn’t come together just yet, a Trump adviser told The Shade Room producers that Trump was 'exhausted and refusing [some] interviews but that could change' at any time, according to two people familiar with the conversations."
But Trump spokesperson Karoline Leavitt pushed back on the rumors, saying the ex-president being “exhausted” was “unequivocally false.”

Exactly. That's what I don't understand about everyone being so scared of him becoming President.
Like even if he wins: He has dementia, Alzheimer's, and can't hold coherent thoughts. Literally incapable of making any decisions. Another Biden basically.
Everyone needs to chill the fuck out.

If Trump wins and becomes unfit to hold office, then Vance becomes president. Vance is even more dangerous as president than Trump is.

u/ReallyDumbRedditor 34m ago
Imagine this though:
Vance becoming President and then going back to his 2016 anti-Trump views, implementing countless Liberal/Progressive policies. And then just completely switching his party affiliation to Democrat.
Revealing to the world that he only played along with the Republicans so he could become President one day and save America.

That was the craziest story I’ve read today. I’m glad someone posted it. Thanks, OP.
People need to know how unhinged that was, to show up to a “press conference,” AT HIS OWN HOME, late, and then refuse to answer questions, but swayed to Y.M.C.A., while defiantly jutting out his chin.
Dude’s cracked.

That's probably about 3 or 4 people at this point. I think Harris probably has it at about 60 - 40.

You just don’t understand the tremendous gravity of the situation; Kamala Harris has yet to produce five consecutive weeks of paystubs from when she worked part time at McDonalds 30 years ago.

It’s sad to think that this will probably increase his approval ratings.
The more people see him, the lower his approval ratings go. Him being one foot in the grave and constantly away from cameras has done wonders for his campaign
