Donald Trump recently made a comparison between his rally crowd sizes and Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I have a Dream” speech attendees, claiming he had more people present. Trump also made controversial remarks about Vice President Kamala Harris, alleging she identified as Black for political gain and questioning her competence. He attributed her polling success to her gender and criticized her handling of San Francisco and California. Harris’ campaign responded by calling Trump’s press conference abnormal. Trump’s advisers stressed the importance of contrasting his record with Harris’ and staying on message. Despite a lighter event schedule, Trump claimed to be leading significantly and focused on TV ads and media appearances. The adviser declined to comment on whether Trump’s messaging always benefits him. Overall, Trump’s press conference showcased his tendency to make controversial and provocative statements while drawing comparisons to historical figures and focusing on his political opponents’ weaknesses.
