Trump Calls Harris ‘Dumb as a Rock’ in Unhinged New Attack
“Just as Donald Trump fired Joe Biden, he will demonstrate to the world he can fire Dangerously liberal Kamala as well,” the memo reads.
In a Truth Social post, former President Donald Trump launched a scathing attack on Vice President Kamala Harris, referring to her as "dumb as a rock." This marks a shift in Trump's focus, from targeting President Joe Biden to taking on the leading candidate to succeed him. Trump's outburst comes ahead of what his senior campaign advisors, Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles, described as a plan to challenge Harris, who has gained momentum following Biden's suspension of his campaign.
Trump's advisors were quick to criticize Harris' performance as "border czar," holding her responsible for what they described as "the border invasion." They attributed various issues to her handling of the border, including the presence of nearly 100 terrorists in the country, hundreds of thousands of fentanyl-related deaths, and a surge in child trafficking. However, it's important to note that while migrant encounters reached a record high in 2023, crossings at the southern border have since decreased significantly, and the Biden administration has taken steps to manage the situation effectively.
The advisors also attempted to link Harris to migrant crime, blaming her for incidents such as the murder of Georgia college student Laken Riley. They claimed that Trump was ahead of Harris in the polls, citing a HarrisX/Forbes poll conducted before Biden's withdrawal. However, more recent polls, including a Morning Consult poll after Biden's withdrawal, show a much tighter race, with Harris trailing Trump by just 2 points. Additionally, a Quinnipiac University poll found the race too close to call, indicating a highly competitive contest between Trump and Harris.
