Katty Kay: Trump fights for spotlight as Democrats dominate coverage
www.bbc.com
A shake up for the Democrats has led to an attention deficit for Trump - an unusual position for the ex-president, writes the BBC's Katty Kay.

On Thursday, Donald Trump walked into a room of journalists gathered at his Mar-a-Lago estate for a news conference. He didn’t look particularly happy.

His remarks came after a week in which Kamala Harris and her new running mate Tim Walz have dominated media attention, raked in millions of dollars and enjoyed a bump in polling. Trump’s media event seemed more an attempt to win back the spotlight than announce anything new.

    I feel we could get a much better bang/buck ratio by shooting him down to Venus along with a sensor package. Far less expensive, and the live broadcast of his horrific demise would probably go some way to defraying costs as well.

      Tons of people would pay-per-view that, if only for morbid curiosity. You could sell limited numbers of commemorative recordings in big collector packs and everything. They will be worth trumps fortune in a few years only (since that doesn’t really exist).

      Sure sure it’s immoral and unethical to sell commemoratives of someone’s death to pay for the costs to bring about said death… but like… meh. He’s done way more harm than this would.

      Throw musk and zuck in there with him, just for good measure, and our healing can begin.
