The former president repeatedly attacked women who criticized him, mocking his appearance and insulting his character. During the 2016 Republican presidential cycle, he called Hillary Clinton, the Democratic candidate, a “nasty woman” — an insult that your supporters it became a feminist battle cry – and “unbalanced”. Trump also mocked his Republican primary rival Carly Fiorina’s face on television and shared an unflattering photo from Senator Ted Cruz’s wife, Heidi Cruz, on Twitter.

“Donald Trump wants to isolate America from the world, abandon our allies and get closer to dictators,” continued Chitika. “Vice President Harris rejected your worldview as dangerous, destabilizing and shortsighted. Donald Trump would make America weak.”
Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said Trump was not referring to Harris’ race or gender in the interview with Ingraham and criticized Harris on her immigration record.
“She is weak, dishonest and dangerously liberal, which is why the American people will reject her on November 5,” Leavitt said in a statement.
Trump’s running mate, Senator JD Vance – who is facing backlash himself about comments he made in 2021 about “childless hot women” leading the country – repeatedly used the word “weak” during a speech in Nevada on Tuesday when describing Harris’ leadership.
