Former President Donald Trump recently addressed questions about his lack of public campaigning, stating that he is currently focused on other activities. During a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago residence, Trump mentioned that he is leading by a significant margin and is allowing the Democratic convention to proceed without his direct involvement.
Trump defended his absence from public events by highlighting his extensive media engagements, including recording commercials and conducting interviews via phone, radio, and television. He emphasized the level of media outreach he is undertaking, suggesting that it surpasses previous standards.
In response to criticism of his reduced public appearances, Trump dismissed a question as 'stupid' and criticized his Democratic opponent, Kamala Harris, for her perceived inability to hold news conferences. He asserted that Harris lacks the intelligence to handle such interactions effectively.
Despite his current focus on media engagements, Trump assured that he plans to resume campaigning after the Democratic National Convention, scheduled to take place in Chicago from August 19 to 22. He mentioned intentions to support certain senators in their election campaigns, emphasizing that his efforts are not solely for personal gain.
Trump's remarks shed light on his strategic approach to the upcoming election and his current priorities in engaging with the media and supporting political allies. As the political landscape continues to evolve, his decisions regarding campaign activities and public appearances will likely remain under scrutiny.
