Donald Trump has doubled down on his deployment of personal attacks against Kamala Harris, despite being advised against it by Republican strategists, taking her to task for declining to debate him on Fox News on September 4 and announcing a town hall with Sean Hannity on the same network instead.
Writing on Truth Social, the GOP presidential nominee griped: “I am not surprised by this development because I feel that she knows it is very difficult, at best, for her to defend her record setting Flip-Flopping on absolutely everything she once believed in, including her statements that THERE WILL BE NO FRACKING IN PENNSYLVANIA and her HORRIBLE Performance on the Border, our ‘Border Czar,’ where millions of criminals and people from mental institutions and terrorists, have been allowed to pour into our Country, totally unchecked and unvetted.“
Trump also questioned Harris’s intelligence in a new CBS interview, commenting: “Our country needs a very smart person, and I don’t think she’s a very smart person.”
The candidate meanwhile remains under fire over his use of artificial intelligence on social media after posting a deepfake video of himself dancing with Elon Musk and a fake endorsement from Taylor Swift.
Trump slams Biden DNC address as ‘angry and ranting Speech full of LIES’
Donald Trump has lashed out after President Joe Biden delivered his address at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago last night, passing the torch to party presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris.
The former president wrote on Truth Social this morning:
An angry and ranting Speech full of LIES, Biden took credit for everything done during the Trump Administration, even continuing to say that he was better on Inflation and Jobs. He never mentioned the Afghanistan Disaster and all the Wars he got us into, or the fact that far more people died from COVID during the Biden years than the Trump years. The Jobs Biden/Harris “created” were almost 100% from Illegal Aliens pouring into our Country, which are destroying the lives of our Black and Hispanic population!
Biden’s speech closed out a boisterous and enthusiastic first day of the convention. You can read Andrew Feinberg and Alex Woodward’s coverage of the president’s remarks below:
