Donald Trump has been increasingly vocal about the appearance of his opponent, Kamala Harris. He recently said the Democrat was a “very attractive woman.” Now, at a campaign rally in the key swing state of Pennsylvania, he’s raised the bar even higher.
Trump has compared his looks to Harris’s. His Democratic opponent would have an advantage because of her attractiveness, the 78-year-old said during a campaign appearance in the state of Pennsylvania, adding: “I’m much better looking than her. I think I’m better looking than Kamala.”
Trump responded to the Democrat’s laughter by saying it was “the laugh of a lunatic.” This isn’t the first time the Republican has discussed Harris’s appearance or attacked women in this way. He’s often used the word “lunatic” in the past for politicians on the other side — including for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election campaign.
As for Harris, Trump said he was asked not to call her “crazy.” “But she is. A crazy person,” the former president said.
Advice-Resistant Trump Gets Personal
At the rally, he again portrayed the Democrat as a radical leftist, calling her a “communist.” He also sharply attacked US President Joe Biden. The United States was being run by “stupid people,” he claimed. Although he is advised to avoid such epithets, he can think of no better word than “stupid.” “How else can you describe it? (…) It’s a perfect word.”
Trump again accused Biden and Harris of letting criminal “crazies” into the country through their immigration policies. He also repeated the false claim that the 2020 election victory was stolen from him. He warned that this could happen again in 2024.
Trump is falling behind
Trump has promised his supporters tax cuts and the diversion of climate protection money to infrastructure, among other things. He wants to lower energy prices by increasing the promotion of fossil fuels.
With Pennsylvania, Trump wants to secure a state in his election campaign in which natural gas production plays a major role. Pennsylvania is a so-called swing state in which both parties traditionally compete for votes. Exciting races are also expected in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina and Wisconsin.
Harris would now clearly win the election:
Pennsylvania is at the top of the priority list for both parties because of its population size. After Biden withdrew as the Democratic candidate, Harris quickly overtook the polls and increasingly put pressure on Trump.
