Donald Trump's slur against Harris at Trump Tower forces donors to exit fundraiser 'shaking their heads'

MANHATTAN, NEW YORK: Donald Trump reportedly used a slur  to describe Kamala Harris during a private fundraiser with wealthy supporters at his Trump Tower penthouse in Manhattan last month.

The New York Times reported that Trump, frustrated by Harris' fundraising success, made the offensive remark while hosting Republican donors on September 29.

Donald Trump also allegedly complained about his billionaire backers, expressing dissatisfaction with the level of financial support they were providing for his campaign.

The gathering included high-profile donors such as billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Singer, billionaire investment banker Warren Stephens, and Betsy DeVos, Trump's former education secretary.

Trump told his supporters they needed to "do more, appreciate him more and help him more," according to the report, urging them to recognize the tax benefits he was advocating for their wealth.

While Trump was expressing his frustrations, Kamala Harris was reportedly raising $28 million at a private event in Los Angeles.

The report says Harris has raised more money in three months than Trump did over the past year, Daily Beast noted.
