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.”

      Right? That’s what the justice system fucking does. It goes after criminals. Not just black people.

        But have you ever taken out a full page ad to insist that a certain group of black people are responsible for a crime even when you had no idea whether or not that was the case?

        Oh wait. What were we talking about?

      She suddenly has/had so much power, apparently, considering she’s VP.

      I sure miss those days when all those great VPs whose names no one recalls wielded such massive power…

        The best part is when asked if JD would be ready to go day one if needed, Trump said that VP doesn’t matter and people only care about the President. So which is it? Does the VP have no power and no real use, or do they have all this secret power to set policy and control the Justice Department?

      Convicted by the state, no less. His federal charges haven’t even been tried yet. Even the President couldn’t pardon him from his conviction.

      Yeah, but she’s simultaneously so powerful that she convinced several elected officials in New York to risk prison time by attacking one of her political opponents in exchange for…? Nothing? And oh by the way, he wasn’t her actual political opponent when the prosecution started, 4D chess over there.

      But also so stupid she couldn’t pass the bar exam and can’t form a complete sentence without a teleprompter.

      Get with it folks!

    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.

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

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

      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.

        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.

          Tim Kaine.

          I did not realize “don’t celebrate too early like we did in 2016” would be a hot take.

            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.

        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.

    I think I am entitled to personal attacks, I don’t have a lot of respect for Trump. I don’t have a lot of respect for his intelligence, and I think he’ll be a terrible president.

    the criteria for public leaders is low. aren’t branches of the government taught in elementary?

      Well the Justice Department is part of the Executive branch. I think the irony is that Project 2025 seeks to remove the independence of various government departments, likely including the DoJ, such that the Executive branch CAN be weaponized against political enemies.

      Trump is talking to the kids who flunked elementary school but got promoted anyway because their teachers didn’t want to deal with them yet again.
