Inside the Worst Three Weeks of Donald Trump’s 2024 Campaign
The New York Times ^ | Aug. 10, 2024, 5:04 a.m. ET | Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan

People around the former and would-be president see a candidate knocked off his bearings, disoriented by his new contest with Kamala Harris and unsure of how to take her on.

The Aug. 2 dinner at the Bridgehampton, N.Y., home of Howard Lutnick, the Cantor Fitzgerald chief executive, was a high-powered affair. Among the roughly 130 people who dined under an air-conditioned tent were some of Donald Trump’s wealthiest supporters, including the billionaire hedge-fund financier Bill Ackman, who sat next to the former president, and Omeed Malik, the president of another fund, 1789 Capital.

Some guests hoped Mr. Trump would signal that he was recalibrating after a series of damaging mistakes. He did not.

Before the dinner, answering a question that voiced concerns about the upcoming election during a small round-table discussion inside Mr. Lutnick’s house, Mr. Trump said, “We’ve got to stop the steal,” reviving yet again his false claims about the 2020 election — claims that his advisers have urged him to drop because they don’t help him with swing voters.

According to two people present, Mr. Trump himself also brought up his remark, made two days earlier at a gathering of the National Association of Black Journalists, in which he had questioned Vice President Kamala Harris’s racial identity.

It had been a display of flagrant race-baiting that was egregious even by Mr. Trump’s standards, and it instantly reprogrammed America’s TV news chyrons: He falsely claimed that Ms. Harris had only recently decided to identify as Black for political purposes.

But Mr. Trump showed no regret. “I think I was right,” he told the rattled donors that Friday night.

People who do not believe the gaslighting of the corporate media see the typical lies of the racist NY Times.

Trump called Maggie a HAG last night at the Montana rally. Story is BS!

Blah , blah , blah. As soon as I saw it was the NY Slimes I dismissed it as nothing more than enemy propaganda.

Trying to distract from the Tim Walz debacle. It’s Harris who’s having a terrible week.

The problem is the Babylon Bee is hysterically funny, the NYT people have no sense of humor whatsover.

If Trump was truly worried, he and Vance would be out with one or more stops every day, just as Trump did in previous elections.

Actually they can and will hide her just like with Biden.

I watch a baseball game and I see 20 Kamala ads, all well done, versus two against her. Zero positive ads for President Trump.

Maggie: “I’m not really supposed to say it, but this whole affair was a bunch of rich Jews getting together to give money to a lying, treasonous, rapist named Donald Trump! No decent person could possibly vote for this Jew-controlled candidate. Every good Democrat, particularly our middle eastern brethren in the struggle against the Zionist dogs, should vote against this son of a pig and ape and should do so as many times as they can! Death to the Zionist entity and DEATH TO AMERICA!”

Trump had a good week. Harris had an awful one after closing the marxist Waltz.

Trumps lead is within the margin of error so fraud wins in the contested states.

the democrats can run the fraud articles because they know they have the fraud votes.

We were headed for a photo finish with Shapiro as the VP. Waltz has been a complete disaster for the Democrats.

Consider the Source!!
The Times writers will never, ever show Donald J trump in a good light.
Sad that they are so biased but I relish the fact that I have not purchased one copy of that rag since I was a Senior in College, taking an”International Politics” course way back in 1962!
“Ignore the ignorant,” works well, for me.

He has, and I have a feeling there is much worse to come about him.

“Where is Trump? In Montana? Is that the best use of his resources?”

Trying to get the 51st GOP Senator elected. He will need control of the Senate; and House.

The man is trying to build a national party.

Without helping win Senate and House seats, Trump would be unable to pass his agenda for the country.

Yeah, good luck getting 67 GOP seats in the Senate.

The point of a Trump presidency is that he would run and reign in the enormous and sprawling executive branch. At a minimum, he would shut down the border.

Yes it was, there is a senate seat at play and Trump clinched it for the GOP. Working the down ballot seats now will be essential when he's back in office.

If the article is from The NY Times, it’s not worth reading. The same with the AP and Reuters.
