Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Tuesday hurled a series of personal attacks at Vice President Kamala Harris, calling her “lazy” — a word long used to demean Black people in racist terms — and repeatedly questioning her intelligence and stamina.

At an event in Miami aimed at courting Latino voters, he said Harris was "lazy as hell" for not holding a campaign event. Trump's comments ignored that Harris spent her day in meetings in Washington and recording interviews with Telemundo and NBC. He referred to the first woman of color to lead a major party ticket as "slow" and having a "low IQ."

Later in the day during a rally in Greensboro, North Carolina, he called Harris a "stupid person" and went on to ask: "Does she drink? Is she on drugs?"

Tuesday marked the first day in more than two weeks that Harris had no public events scheduled after a run of more than 14 consecutive days of travel to political events in pivotal states, including a three-state run on Monday, starting in Pennsylvania, continuing to Michigan and ending in Wisconsin.

I swear this is starting to feel like a fucked up advent calender where every day he's going to say increasingly disturbed things culminating on Nov 5 when he finally drops the n bomb live

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 22 points 3 weeks ago

I would love it if he just skipped to the nbomb instead of waiting until the last minute, so it might actually negatively impact him.

Are you kidding? With what he's already said and done? Anyone still on the Trump train isn't going to hop off for that. Most of them probably use it among themselves anyway. His supporters would eat that shit up.

It isn't about the MAGA idiots, it is about motivating everyone else as higher turnout increase the odds of the Dems winning.

If he got elected and dropped it or worse afterward, what could we do that would not have been solved by voting.

Vote. If not for Kamala, then vote against a truly existential and internal, real threat.

Undo him for good.

Says the guy who's been cancelling events left and right.

[-] gargamel@leminal.space 29 points 3 weeks ago

She's campaigning her ass off, while he needs to cancel events every day. He thinks we're idiots who can't see reality right in front of us. Go take another nap trump. Fuck off.

He thinks we’re idiots

Well, he KNOWS almost half the people in the country are idiots.. He is just trying to convince more to be idiots.

Trump is looking tired frail and weak. Not sure he is going to make Election Day.

[-] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 11 points 3 weeks ago

Frail, weak and OBESE. (speaking of lazy…)

[-] capital_sniff@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

It is already hard enough knowing a non zero percent of adults in our society voted for Trump. I'm not sure I could handle watching them vote for JD.

He's projecting again

[-] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

I really wish we had another month before the election. The man is self destructing mentally.

He's about half a step from pulling out the N-word

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
