Donald Trump labels Kamala Harris 'weakest' candidate

In his X post, Donald Trump wrote, "Kamala Harris is the Weakest Presidential Candidate in History on Crime."

"She’s allowed millions of people to pour through our Borders, many from prisons, mental institutions and, indeed, terrorists, coming in at levels never seen before," he argued.

Questioning Harris' candidacy, Trump stated, "What gives her the right to run for President? She got no votes to Biden’s 14 Million."

"She failed in her previous attempt, was the first one out of 22 people to quit, never made it to Iowa, and now she’s a Presidential Candidate? This is a Threat to Democracy!" he concluded his post.



 

Donald Trump mocks Kamala Harris' lack of media appearances

Donald Trump also addressed Kamala Harris' lack of media appearances since she accepted her Democratic presidential nomination in July.

During Trump's appearance at the Moms for Liberty event on Friday, August 30 in Washington, DC, the 78-year-old politician said, "I think she would have been better off if she just had interviews, even if they weren't great; it would have been better than because now everyone's watching. And now we see she's defective."

"She's a defective person, and we don't need another defective person as President of the United States; we just had that," Trump added.



 

Following Harris' first major interview with CNN's Dana Bash on August 29, Trump intensified his criticisms, accusing her of inconsistency, particularly on her stance on fracking and suggesting that she may have been fed answers during the interview.

"I was surprised she didn't do a lot of interviews, but she's not good at it, I guess. And they knew that. They knew something that we didn't know," said Trump, reported Washington Examiner.

Internet divides over Donald Trump labeling Kamala Harris a 'weak' candidate

After Donald Trump labeled Kamala Harris a "weak" presidential candidate and called her candidacy a "threat to democracy," netizens weighed in on the former president's remarks.

While one user on X wrote, "Tell me you’re afraid of Kamala Harris without telling me you’re afraid or Kamala Harris," another tweeted, "Kamala Harris is a literal communist! If she is elected, we will lose our country! We need President Trump back in office!"



 



 

"And she can’t do an interview without a script Kamala is FAKE," a netizen commented, while someone else opined, "Trump is the weakest candidate ever. He was a failed president for four years."



 



 

"If the election is fair, she has no chance," an individual penned, and another remarked, "I don’t think it’s wise for a person convicted of 34 felony counts to question 'what right' a person has to run for president."
