On Saturday, former Republican president Donald Trump took the stage at a rally in Pennsylvania and couldn't help but make personal attacks against his Democratic rival, Kamala Harris. He criticized her physical appearance, claiming that he was much better looking than her. This isn't the first time he has brought up the topic, as he has mentioned it at previous rallies as well.
Trump's comments were prompted by a recent Time Magazine cover featuring Vice President Harris. He took issue with the illustrator's portrayal of her, stating that they were too generous in their depiction of her. "I'm much better looking than her," Trump, who is 78 years old, boldly declared. He continued to express his disbelief at the artist's work, stating that Time Magazine had to resort to hiring a sketch artist because they couldn't find a good picture of her.
While the original purpose of the rally was to discuss Harris' economic policy rollout, Trump quickly went off script and couldn't resist taking a dig at her appearance. This attack was just one of many he made against Harris and her Democratic allies.
Last week, Trump received calls from his allies to focus his campaign on policy issues instead of personal attacks. However, he dismissed these calls and claimed that he was entitled to attack Harris because he doesn't have a lot of respect for her. He also criticized President Joe Biden for dropping out of the presidential race and joked about not knowing who he was running against.
Pennsylvania is a crucial state in the upcoming election, with 19 Electoral College votes up for grabs. Trump narrowly won the state in 2016 but lost it to Biden in 2020. He expressed his frustration at having to face Harris as his opponent, stating that she "stole" Biden's presidential bid. He also claimed that Biden "hates" Harris and that her presence on the ticket was an "overthrow" of his presidency.
Despite his harsh words, Trump stated that he was looking forward to debating Harris on September 10th, claiming that she would be an easier opponent. However, his attempts to target her have been inconsistent, with some focusing on policy issues while others mocking her laughter and intelligence. He also faced backlash for questioning her racial identity during a previous appearance.
In conclusion, Trump's personal attacks against Harris at the rally in Pennsylvania were just one example of his disdain for her. Despite calls from his allies to focus on policy issues, he couldn't resist taking jabs at her physical appearance and intelligence. As the election draws closer, it remains to be seen how Trump will continue to target Harris and whether or not these attacks will have any impact on the outcome of the election.
