Donald Trump Privately Rants That Kamala Harris Is a ‘B***h’ as His Polls Plunge
Sources close to the Republican presidential nominee say he is struggling with how to campaign against his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris.
Sources close to the Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump, say he is struggling to devise an effective campaign strategy against his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris . According to a report by The New York Times, Trump has referred to Harris using a derogatory slur in private, reflecting his frustration with her dominance in the news cycle and his own declining poll numbers. While a Trump spokesperson denied the claim, insiders confirmed that the former president has repeatedly used disrespectful language when referring to Harris. This behavior is consistent with Trump's history of demeaning and disrespectful comments toward women and his political opponents.
The report also highlights Trump's dissatisfaction with the leadership of the super PAC, Preserve America, referring to them as "RINOS" (Republicans In Name Only). This sentiment was expressed in angry texts sent to Miriam Adelson, the widow of right-wing magnate Sheldon Adelson, despite a friendly meeting between Trump and Mrs. Adelson just a week prior. The Adelson-backed PAC was spending a significant amount, approximately $18 million weekly, on ads supporting Trump's campaign at the time.
Trump's running mate, JD Vance, has also faced challenges on the campaign trail. Donors have reportedly taken issue with Vance's previous controversial comments about "couch" people and "childless cat ladies." When confronted with the Democrats' strategy of portraying Republicans as "weird," Trump distanced himself from Vance, stating that the characterization was not about him but about his running mate. In response, Trump advised Vance to go on the offensive against Harris and her choice for VP, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Vance's subsequent attacks on Walz reportedly earned him praise from Trump.
Vice President Harris has emerged as a formidable opponent and a significant obstacle to Trump's reelection ambitions. She brings youth, energy, and a fresh perspective to the Democratic ticket, which has been reflected in her favorable polling numbers. Harris has garnered extensive positive media coverage, as acknowledged even by Trump's campaign chief pollster, Tony Fabrizio. Recent polls show Harris leading Trump in key states such as Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, and even surpassing Trump's 2020 performance in Ohio according to Republican-conducted polls.
Trump has resorted to his familiar playbook of derogatory nicknames and personal attacks, referring to Harris as "Laffin' Kamala," "Crazy Kamala," and "crooked," while also mocking her laugh and questioning her Black identity. However, sources close to Trump suggest that he is struggling to adapt to the rapidly changing political landscape and the challenges posed by Harris' candidacy. The former president has faced a series of setbacks and security concerns, including an attempt on his life and a potential Iranian assassination threat, all of which have contributed to a sense of whiplash within his campaign.
When questioned about his strategy to reclaim the narrative and present himself as a positive choice for America's future, Trump's response was characteristically defiant: "I am who I am." This statement encapsulates his reluctance to evolve his campaign approach and his insistence on relying on divisive and negative tactics, even in the face of shifting political dynamics and a formidable opponent in Vice President Harris.
