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 mean not only does he have to compete with Harris and Walz, he has to compete against his own running mate. The press doesn’t care about a Harris/Trump debate because they know how it is going to go and it will be as dry as the Sahara, but a Walz/Vance debate? With Walz’s comedic timing vs Vance’s complete lack of awareness? That’s gonna bring in the ratings. At this point Trump is a distant 4th for ratings for them.

      BOHICA.

      Cuz “Bend Over, it’s getting weird again” is just an unpronounceable mess. BOIGWA. Boi-ghwah?bo-ig-wa?

      Sounds like one of the weird camp songs my SiL sings whenever we’re out hiking.

        I’d never heard BOHICA before, so thanks for using it!

        For others not in the know, it stands for Bend Over, Here It Comes Again. It’s military slang, like FUBAR or SNAFU.
