Standing next to a spread of coffee, cereal and breakfast meats at his New Jersey golf club on Thursday, former President Trump started what he billed as his second news conference in as many weeks by highlighting increased costs of everyday foodstuffs due to inflation — a major issue for voters in November.
Then, he veered off into a rambling 40-minute speech — uninterrupted by media questions — in which he aired old political grievances and debunked conspiracy theories, and lied, repeatedly, about the state of the economy, the safety of the nation and the policies of Vice President Kamala Harris, who is running against him in the presidential race.
Among other things, Trump made the false claim — easily debunked — that Harris, a former San Francisco district attorney and California attorney general, made it legal for thieves in California to “rob a store” if what they take is worth less than $950.
Thieves are “going into stores with calculators, calculating how much it is, because if it’s less than $950, they can rob it and not get charged,” Trump said. “That was her that did that.”
Trump’s event was part of a new campaign strategy to draw a contrast with Harris, whom the Trump campaign has been hammering for not taking media questions as she rides a wave of Democratic enthusiasm. But it and other recent events have had the additional effect of reviving a much older Trump strategy for drumming up attention — which is essentially for him to stand in front of reporters and talk smack.

Anybody who takes these people seriously is mentally deficient
LA Times could never name one lie Trump has ever told. Trump is not a liar
LA Times lies by calling itself a “news” paper.
Fact check: feelings are not facts, and if someone expresses a feeling different from yours, it’s not lying.
... or a traitor to the United States of America.
If this Rectum fellow doesn’t like Trump “trying to reclaim the spotlight” he should stop writing about him “trying to reclaim the spotlight”.
See how that works?
correct headline: “LA Timesseeks to reclaim spotlight with old playbook of lying, talking smack as media”
“ Thieves are “going into stores with calculators, calculating how much it is, because if it’s less than $950, they can rob it and not get charged,” Trump said. “That was her that did that.”
Does this liberal rag care to clarify what the law states? They say Trump is wrong they don’t give data?
Has the LA Times recanted any of its stories that President Trump colluded with Russia to win the election?
It should be clear to everyone by now all media outlets are deep state loud speakers of varying volume.
Anytime you disagree with a Communist, it is a lie.
Hey, LA Slimes, when are you EVER going to release the Fasil Khan/0blama dinner tape???
Talk about lying smack ... y’all are the KING of Smack Lies.
Proposition 47 was enacted to comply with a 2011 California Supreme Court order, which upheld that California’s overcrowded prisons violated incarcerated individuals’ Eighth Amendment rights against cruel and unusual punishment.Such stupid people. The $950 law avoids overcrowding prisons simply by making theft up to $950 a misdemeanor, not a felony, so the criminals don’t go to prison. But hardly anybody gets caught because the cops don’t respond to reports of misdemeanors in progress. It’s a “don’t go to jail free” card.“In 2011, our prisons were bursting at the seams, and California was ranked either first or second behind Texas as having the highest per capita incarceration rate of any state in the country,” Kubrin said. “It was so bad that the Supreme Court stepped in and told us we needed to reduce our prison population by 33,000 individuals.”
“So the goal of Prop 47 was to limit our prison population, to reduce the number of people that we send to state prisons,” said Kubrin. “Prop 47 has achieved that goal while not causing crime rates to go up.”
LA TIMES is A LEFT WING DEMOCRAT, COMMUNIST RAG.
DONT BELIEVE anything you read in the MAIN STREAM, FAKE MEDIA.
ANYTHING.
LA times proving once again that they are nothing but feckless democrat lapdogs
Rector states: He said Harris “is in favor of the death of the American dream,” and repeatedly insinuated that the 2020 election was stolen, which it was not.”
Rector knows this because the people who would have stolen it said it was the most secure and safe election.
Trump accomplished what he wanted, getting the corrupt news to talk about inflation, Bidenomics.
A subunit of the propaganda arm of The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate carries out their masters orders.
President Trump continues to get millions in free publicity while driving the communist media insane.Terrific entertainment he is giving us on his way to the White House.
In DemWitSpeak “lying” is telling the truth on DemWit policies. Demedia has “truth Squads” and “fact checkers” whose job is when finding truth and facts, censor and cancel it. So few if any ever see it.
