Former President Donald Trump is out of his depth facing the prospect of running against Vice President Kamala Harris instead of President Joe Biden, wrote his niece Mary Trump in her latest email blast — and he's "terrified."

[...] "Donald also hates women (especially strong women) and minorities, so you can see why current Vice President and presidential candidate Kamala Harris terrifies him to the point of incoherence. He says she’s 'crazy,'" Mary Trump says.

She continues: "His childish nickname for her is 'laughing Kamala' because she feels joy, and joy is something he [Donald Trump] has never experienced and doesn’t understand. Faced with the reality that he is now running against a vibrant, intelligent, experienced woman who is fully two decades younger than he is, Donald spent Sunday and Monday flailing, trying to find an angle of attack that would stick."

He's so lost trying to figure out what to do, she added, that he's even continuing to attack Biden, despite knowing Biden has already decided to exit the race.

Combine that with the fact that Democrats have seen a massive surge in donor support and that tech billionaire Elon Musk appears to be backing out of his plan to give a pro-Trump PAC $45 billion a month, Ms. Trump wrote, "Donald and his sycophants, enablers, and backers are scared."

"And they should be," she noted.

$45 BILLION a month? That's not a small typo.

Indeed, this was announced at the end of last month/beginning of this month, it's been circling around for a few weeks now.

Yes, but it was supposed to say 45 million, not billion.
