Wow, Donald Trump an afterthought

Less than two weeks from an assassination attempt.
The media is forced to really explore our "new" candidate for POTUS. To not do so would be journalistic malpractice.
Trump must be fuming.

He's also being overshadowed by his VP pick, JD Vance, who's gone viral for having sex with couches. Allegedly.

All of this has gotta be eating Trump alive.

7. For a brief while, they have to operate without an established "narrative"

It's particularly refreshing to have an opportunity to get basically a fresh pair of eyes on trump.

Donnie does weird crap all the time and the media says hey that's just Donnie because they have a narrative that well he does stuff like that and everybody knows it and it's old news and yada yada yada.

Biden says hey he does weird stuff and the media says hey Biden is old he should pull out and resign and any aybhea partisan and yada yada yada.

Harris comes in and they don't have an established narrative to dismiss her yet so for a brief moment, she's the child who says the emperor has no clothes.

For a brief moment, we're allowed to actually listen and say hey, she's right, now that you mention it, that's some really weird crap that Donnie does.
