Trump Says He Has Right To Engage In ‘Personal Attacks’ On Harris

Former President Donald Trump addressed a question about his “personal attacks” on Vice President Kamala Harris during a press conference at his Bedminster golf course in New Jersey on Thursday, defending himself while citing her own campaign rhetoric.

“I’m very angry at her that she’s weaponized the justice system against me and other people. Very angry at her. I think I’m entitled to personal attacks,” the former president noted. “I don’t have a lot of respect for her, I don’t have a lot of respect for her intelligence, and I think she’ll be a terrible president.”

The Republican nominee went on to respond to the Harris Campaign’s lack of messaging, which has hinged on referring to both Trump and J.D. Vance as “weird.” He said regarding Harris and especially Walz: “And we have this guy that’s running a failed, really a very failed state, who’s had a terrible career. I mean, you have him saying ‘they’re weird.’ No, he’s a weird guy. And she’s weird in her policy. Who wouldn’t want to have strong borders? Who doesn’t want to have lower taxes?”

He also pointed to Harris’ lack of accomplishments and electoral success.

I don’t think people know who she is yet. When people — because really, people didn’t know. You can ask the man on the street. I saw it on one of the shows today. They asked him in his seat. ‘What’s the last name of Kamala?’ Nobody knew.”

At another point during the press conference, Trump questioned how Harris could promise to take action “on day one” while she was already in office.

“So she is saying when she gets in — she’s in now. And especially with Biden, because I mean, he’s not in the best of shape. But you know what? She’s in there now. She can do anything she wants. And she’s still saying, ‘if you elect me, I’ll do this, I’ll do…’ Why didn’t she do it?” the former president said. “Here’s my one question, it’s the easiest question because she complains about everything, everything, everything. Why didn’t she do it? That’s all I ask.”
