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.”

    It’s annoying as fuck getting bombarded constantly with US politics on the All thread, but do you know what I haven’t seen one bit of?

    US politics

    Not one mention of the different policies of either party. Not a thing.

    Just constant, childish, embarrassing shit-slinging

    It’s absolutely shameful and just makes everyone look like screaming infants 😂

          You should probably find better news sources, because Kamala and Tim have been talking non-stop about policy for weeks, and I see articles about it constantly. Not enough to always make it through the noise, but still.

          Most people in the US agree with you. The problem is that those companies are all owned by old rich xenophobic, homophobic, every other type of phobic, douchebags.

          You are demonstrably incorrect on this. Either you are looking at the wrong sources, you have fucked up your feed, or you’re only paying attention to the sensationalist nonsense.
