‘Public Meltdown’: Harris-Walz Campaign Roast Trump Presser With Viral Dril Meme

The Harris-Walz campaign released a statement on Thursday mocking former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago press conference.

Under the headline, “Donald Trump’s Very Good, Very Normal Press Conference,” and the subhead, “Split Screen: Joy and Freedom vs. Whatever the Hell That Was,” the campaign statement included a meme from the viral X account @dril. The meme read, “and another thing: im not mad. please dont put in the newspaper that i got mad.”

“Donald Trump took a break from taking a break to put on some pants and host a press conference [with the words struck through] public meltdown,” read the statement, adding:

We have a lot to say about it. Here are some initial thoughts – with more to come. He hasn’t campaigned all week. He isn’t going to a single swing state this week. But he sure is mad Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are getting big crowds across the battlegrounds. The facts were hard to track and harder to find in Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago meltdown this afternoon. He lied. He attacked the media. He made excuses for why he’s off the campaign trail.

The statement then included a lengthy fact check on some of the various topics Trump touched on; including crowd size, whether or not January 6th was peaceful, the correct dates for their scheduled debates, and Project 2025.

The statement then went on to add some snark into its fact check with lines like:

Trump does not know the difference between asylum seekers and an insane asylum.

Donald Trump does not “cherish” the Constitution.

Abortion is not “less of an issue” for voters. It is not “subdued.” It is not a “small issue” for voters, despite how much Donald Trump wants it to be.

Donald Trump did not answer the abortion question “very well in the debate.” Everybody did not want Roe v. Wade overturned. The American people do not support states banning abortion.

After-birth abortion does not exist. Minnesota and Virginia are not the same.

Donald Trump doesn’t know what progressive means.
Kamala Harris does not want to take away everyone’s guns. Tim Walz is a gun owner.
Vice President Harris does not support an arms embargo on Israel.

Donald Trump could not remember Tim Walz’s name.

Donald Trump’s tax cuts are not the biggest in history. We don’t know what “the transgender became such a big thing” is supposed to mean.

Donald Trump will cut Social Security – just like he proposed every year he was in office.

Government was not weaponized against Trump and Steve Bannon. Mail ballots are secure.

We agree – Elon IS a different kind of guy.

There are no polls that say Donald Trump is going to win in a landslide. The MAGA base is not 75% of the country.
