- Trump calls Harris a fool
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has insulted his Democratic opponent Kamala Harris, calling her "dumb". "She has a really low IQ," the former U.S. president claimed at a campaign event in Atlanta, Georgia. Trump derided the current vice president and Democratic presidential nominee as "crazy" and a "radical left freak".
The Republican compared Harris to Senator Bernie Sanders, who previously sought the Democratic presidential nomination and is known for his left-wing positions. "She's worse than Bernie Sanders. She's like Bernie Sanders, but not as smart," he mocked. "She's a dumb version of Bernie Sanders, and even further left than him."
Trump regularly insults his opponents with derogatory remarks. He has previously derided several people for their alleged low intelligence quotient and referred to himself as a "very stable genius".
His increased rhetoric against his opponent in the November presidential election may also be due to Harris' current momentum in the campaign. She is currently raising high campaign funds and performing better against Trump in early polls than U.S. President Joe Biden, who was initially set to face the Republican but bowed out under pressure from his party.
In the heated US election campaign, Trump turns his criticism towards Harris, labeling her as a "dumb version" of Senator Bernie Sanders and even more left-wing. Despite Trump's frequent insults regarding intelligence, Harris continues to gain traction in the campaign with increased funds and better polling numbers.
