WATCH: Trump hilariously mocks Harris for saying 'thank you' to DNC audience 'about 50 times'
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA: Former president Donald Trump couldn't seem to let go of Vice President Kamala Harris' speech at the Democratic National Convention, even the day after it occurred.
Following his rant on Truth Social during Harris' address, Trump continued to criticize her speech at an event held at a Las Vegas restaurant on Friday, August 24.
He claimed that Harris made no mention of the border and instead fixated on her frequent expressions of gratitude to the audience.

Donald Trump mimics Kamala Harris’ DNC speech at Las Vegas event
During his remarks in Las Vegas, Donald Trump mocked Kamala Harris for the numerous times she thanked the audience.
"She mentioned ‘thank you’ about 50 times,” Trump said, before mimicking her by repeating, “Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you,” while making a guttural noise for dramatic effect.
He then continued with, “Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank -- thank, thank.” Trump concluded his mockery with a question, “What the hell is wrong with her?”
The Harris campaign quickly responded by posting a clip of Trump’s comments on X (formerly known as Twitter).
“What’s going on with her?” I’ll answer: She’s polite, something you’re unfamiliar with. This is all Trump’s got on Kamala Harris- he posts a video of crowd going wild for her, and complains she says “thank you” too many times. pic.twitter.com/HOx7Rar27m
