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.”

    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.

        That’s all these fascist fucks ever have.

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

        & twist it into their own fucked shit.

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

        I had more stimulating debates at the middle school lunch table.

      I dunno if that’s a Freudian slip or intentional, but either way it’s funny as hell.

      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.

        I wasn’t anywhere near this excited to see every imaginable bad thing happen to him back then.

        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.
