Republican presidential candidate and former President Donald Trump said at a press conference on Thursday that the honeymoon period for Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris may be coming to an end.
“Well, it’s over. The honeymoon period is over,” Trump told reporters. “She’s having a little phase. We have the convention coming up.”
But at the end of the day, Trump said, this race is “about policy.”
“It’s not about her. I’ve seen her and I think she’s incompetent. She destroyed California. She destroyed San Francisco. Everything she’s been involved in has gone wrong,” he said. “I don’t want to use foul language, but everything she’s been involved in has gone wrong. She’s incompetent,” he continued, slamming Harris for not even giving interviews to “friendly” media.
Because she can’t do it better than Biden. There’s a reason why Biden didn’t do it better. And I can tell you, 25 years ago, he was never the brightest, brightest ceiling light bulb. He certainly wasn’t, but he could do interviews. Maybe he couldn’t, at least these days. But she should do interviews.
He said Harris was reluctant to do interviews because her “policies are so terrible,” and gave several examples.
“She wants to open the borders. She wants to defund the police. She wants to take away guns. Anyone who doesn’t want to go after guns, when I was president, we provided full gun protections, which is very important,” he continued, before blasting Harris at a news conference for rising to the top of the ticket without the help of actual voters.
He said:
We have a Constitution, and it’s a very important document, and we live by it. She doesn’t have the vote, but I’m happy to run against her. I’m not going to complain from that standpoint. And I’m loathe to defend her. [Biden]but he didn’t want to go. He wanted to try and see if he could win. After the debate, they said, “You can’t win. You can’t win. You’re out.” At first they said it nicely, and he wouldn’t go. And then, you know that better than anybody. If you think about it, at first they said they were going to go back on the ballot again. They were going to go through a primary system, a quick primary system. They had no choice but to do that, and then it all just disappeared. And they just picked the first person to go through. She was the first loser. Okay, so that’s why we call her the “first loser.” She was the first loser because she was the first to drop out during the primary system, the Democratic primary system. And she dropped out. She had no votes, no support. By the way, she was a bad debater. A very bad debater. That’s not something I’m looking forward to, but she was a bad debater. Obviously, she had a bad debate. She didn’t make it to Iowa, and then for some reason — and I know he regrets it, and you regret it — he picked her, and then she turned her back on him. She was working with people who wanted to get rid of him. But in a primary system, where there were 14 or 15 candidates, and she was the first to drop out, didn’t get any votes, lost, and then she was picked to run for president, that seems unconstitutional to me. Probably not.
