Donald Trump continues his diatribes against Kamala Harris. But, a problem for the Republican candidate for the White House, his excesses against his Democratic rival go less and less well in his own camp.
At a meeting on Saturday in Prairie du Chien in Wisconsin, a particularly contested state in the Midwest, Donald Trump chose to once again attack Kamala Harris on her intellectual abilities, as reported by the Huffington Post. The candidate’s comments were especially repeated throughout the weekend and in passing targeted the current tenant of the White House.
Trump very far from mea culpa
In Wisconsin, Donald Trump told his supporters: “Joe Biden has become mentally disabled. Kamala was born like this. She was born like that. “. This outing “triggered hilarity in the room”, noted the Huffington Post.
And the former president cannot claim error. Very far from mea culpa, he actually said almost the same thing again on Sunday in Pennsylvania: “Corrupt Joe Biden has become mentally handicapped. Sad. But the liar Kamala Harris, honestly, I think she was born that way. There’s something wrong with Kamala. I don’t know what it is, but it’s missing something. And you know it, everyone knows it.”
The economy rather than insults
This strategy of insults and excesses has obviously always been criticized by the democratic camp. But this time, this violence also no longer passes among several members of the Republicans. According to the Canadian daily The presssome of Donald Trump’s allies are now pushing him, publicly and privately, to end this strategy and instead talk about the economy or immigration. “I think the best thing to do is to say that his policies are destroying the country and that they are crazy liberal,” Lindsey Graham, senator from South Carolina, said on CNN on Sunday. On ABC, Tom Emmer, a Republican elected to the House of Representatives from Minnesota, said “we should stick to the issues. Donald Trump fixed the problems once. They [les démocrates] broke them. He will repair them again. “.
