Former President Donald Trump said that he's "entitled" to personally attack Vice President Kamala Harris because he doesn't "have a lot of respect for her."

Speaking with reporters at a news conference at his golf club at Bedminster, New Jersey, on Thursday afternoon, Trump was asked if he believed his "strategy" of attacking his political opponents was working in his reelection campaign.

"I'm very angry at her, that she weaponized the justice system against me and other people," the former president responded.

"I think I am entitled to personal attacks," Trump added. "I don't have a lot of respect for [Harris]. I don't have a lot of respect for her intelligence, and I think she'll be a terrible president."

Trump said Thursday that Walz has "had a terrible career" and called him "a weird guy," adding that Harris was "weird in her policy."

I love this so much. His best retort is "no, you're weird!".

Um so pumped to see him lose the ejection, and then go to jail, and then become irrelevant, and then die.

"Oh, so we can just steal 'weird' and turn it against them, like we did 'fake news' and 'fascist' and all the others, right?"

Followed by:

"Look at these weird liberals who want health care and don't think of women as cattle!"

#winning, Donald and JD. Never stop never stopping.

I've been doing this with them for a while. They get mad when you call em snowflakes and just hit em with no u.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 27 points 2 months ago (2 children)

The popular political position of "no u."

[–] MaxPow3r11@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

That's all these fascist fucks ever have.

Which is why they have to coopt every movement/slogan created by the left

& twist it into their own fucked shit.

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

The only arguments reactionaries have are "no u" and "nuh-uh."

I had more stimulating debates at the middle school lunch table.

[–] Xaphanos@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You missed "become poor" and "have his family turn on him".

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Some already have

[–] girlfreddy@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago

Um so pumped to see him lose the ejection

I dunno if that's a Freudian slip or intentional, but either way it's funny as hell.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I'm more excited to see him lose the erection.

[–] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I love this comment so much!

This 100%

[–] piecat@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Does secret service have to protect him in prison?

Not an expert but I think so.

I don't think he'd end up in regular prison anyway. House arrest at his golf club or some shit.

Pump the brakes on that excitement. I don't know how old you are, but let me tell or remind you that voters were this excited in 2016 too, and spoiler alert, he won.

Harris does not have that big of a lead. Let's get excited after she actually wins.

[–] SmokumJoe@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

No one I knew was excited about Hillary in 2016.

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 10 points 2 months ago

I wasn't anywhere near this excited to see every imaginable bad thing happen to him back then.

[–] Clent@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Without looking it up, can you tell me who Hillary's vp pick was?

Her most memorable moment was calling Trump supporters deplorables but she immediately walked it back.

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Tim Kaine.

I did not realize "don't celebrate too early like we did in 2016" would be a hot take.

[–] Clent@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

You didn't say celebrate. You said excited.

People are excited. Possibly more excited than when Obama was running.

Trump has been pouting about how excited everyone is so telling people not to get too excited sounds a lot like what Trump is ranting about.

kamala would have turned around
