Donald Trump pushes false claims
The former president held a press conference a week earlier at
his Mar-a-Lago estate last Thursday. He replied to questions ranging from his recent attacks on Harris to immigration to reproductive rights for more than an hour. Engaging in hot exchanges with reporters, he also tried to push false claims on the outcome of the 2020 election and the size of the crowd at his Jan. 6, 2021, rally before the attacks on the U.S. Capitol.
Why press conference now?
Political commentators and observers feel his news conference appears to be part of the campaign’s attempt to draw a contrast between the two candidates. On the other hand, the Harris campaign has used Trump’s news conferences to highlight the bungles he has made and attack his policies.
Food items to be placed on display
AP has reported that Trump’s staff will be laying out many items, including instant coffee, sugary breakfast cereals, pastries, and fruit, on tables where the press conference will be held. He is most likely to target Kamala Harris for a price rise. But, he will do so a day after the Labor Department announced year-over-year inflation reached its lowest level in more than three years in July. However, his team is banking on the fact that the consumers are still feeling the impact of higher prices.
