Trump persists in questioning Harris’s race as his campaign flounders since shooting: ‘I think I was right’
The former president also referred to Kamala Harris as a “bitch” in private, according to a report
Trump has also fielded calls from donors who are upset about his running mate, JD Vance, and the Ohio senator’s previous comments including referring to Harris as a ‘childless cat lady.”
Trump dismissed calls for Vance to be replaced on the ticket, but he also asked advisers if they were aware of the comments before Vance was selected.
At the Hamptons dinner, Trump also downplayed the Democrats’ strategy of painting the GOP as “weird.”
“Not about me. They’re saying that about JD,” Trump said, according to the Times.
Oof. Incredible lack of self-awareness while also throwing your running mate under the bus lol

Trump whipped a violent mob into a frenzy ready to actually lynch his last running mate. JD just needs to look at Pence to see what his own future holds.
lmao he genuinely thinks people don't find him weird. what a weirdoooo
If by "genuinely thinks" you mean "is in denial", sure. It's not so much a matter of believing it or not, he just says what he wants to be true, simple as.
"They don't hate me, they hate my VP." What a dimwit.
I feel like it was the kind of thing that worked better before articles were written about it and then literally every article and comment since then has included the word.
Openly talking about it as a strategy feels like it’s turning it into our version of “Let’s Go Brandon” in a way.
Lmao does anyone else remember the shooting? Everyone seemed so convinced his win was in the bag after that “iconic” photo. Now it’s a big whatever.
that's one of the reasons why the dropout was a good idea. it came so soon after the shooting and made such waves that it completely drowned the shooting.
it helps that a. he didn't really get hurt and b. he's super unpopular, so the reaction from people who weren't already in the maga cult ranged from "don't give a shit" to "you had one job".
i think he's super demoralized so he doesn't even feel like campaigning. the press conference was probably people around him telling him that Harris has been dominating the media and getting ahead in the polls so he had to show his orange mug before people completely forgot about him (ah, we should be so lucky).
mind that one of the factors in 2016 was that he was so outrageous that he got billions of dollars worth of free advertising. now people are talking about Harris, walz and couches.
Joe leaving the race effectively wiped out anything from that event. Trump for once is the victim of the mass adhd that is our current media and cultural environment. I myself have forgotten several times that he was even shot at, and he's not good at keeping it front and center in anyone's mind either.
Too busy insisting Kamala isn't black, keeping her front and center.
Oh yeah, when that teleprompter got shot, rip
It's a dog whistle. He just wants to constantly remind his racist cult that she's black, so they won't focus on him being senile, belligerent, and stupid.
let him spend his energy on people who will anyways vote republicans no matter what even if he is 105 years old
God forbid that he lives up to 105.
I live in a blue state. Almost all of the kids I see nowadays are mixed race. This sort of shit is almost over. As soon as the boomers die out, there won’t be a majority white voter.
In some far future utopia we will've all interbred and evolved to a nice caramel/olive skin and our descendents will imagine us as cavemen. If we mange to make it that long.
I gotta say this is actually something I'm disappointed by.
Not because I want white people to survive forever or think any race is better than the other but because I like the idea of living in a world with other races. Like a fantasy setting with different types of elves or whatnot.
I like the diversity and would love to see just how different each race could become while still being the same species.
This won't go well for him. Even after the meeting the Republicans had when they were told not to be racist and misogynistic against Harris they still can't help themselves.
In his mind biracial doesn't exist so he'll keep going; one day it'll stop just not today.
His mind also can't admit he made a mistake. That quote is just way too perfect "I think I was right"
My first reaction was to wonder why anyone would care what her race is. It is the least interesting or important thing about her
Racial Colorblindness is still racism. Kamala Harris, like anyone mixed race or nonwhite, has had a measurably different experience living in America than her white peers.
Fixating on her race the way Trump and Republicans are doing is absolutely racist.
But hand waving her racial identity away like it is irrelevant is also quite a racist thing to do.
Because it's all he's got. Childish name calling and racial slurs.
I hope he keeps it up. It's a losing argument and I want him to go all in on it 1000%.
He looks so much more pathetic than usual.
The human race is an unscientific way of saying single species of human called homosapiens. There aren't more, just us multicolored assholes. Now replace "race" with the real thing... "Trumpfus persists in insulting Harris by calling her a fake black person as his campaign flounders since shooting: 'I think I'm fucking racist"
In added fucking. He didn't say fucking.
Of course he does. Racism is what carries his campain. He has nothing else to show for.
Casual racism is what laid the foundation of his cult. He stoked the flames for 8 years with an obsession when Obama hurt his fee-fees at a correspondents dinner and he's been riding on that wave this whole time
I think he's entirely too far right, which is the problem.
