Donald Trump questioned the competence of US Vice President Kamala Harris.
Washington:
Donald Trump, the former US president and presumptive Republican Party presidential nominee, attacked Vice President Kamala Harris, raising questions about her competence and describing her as an “insurance policy” for current President Joe Biden.
His attack on Kamala Harris, who is of Indian and African descent, came amid conversations in the Democratic Party about whether President Biden should remain the candidate in the November 5 presidential election.
Joe Biden, 81, faced calls from some Democrats to step down as a candidate after his disastrous performance during a June 27 debate with Trump, in which he struggled to complete sentences or land any significant blows against his opponent.
“No matter what else may be said about corrupt Joe Biden, you must give him credit for a brilliant decision, probably the smartest decision he has ever made. He chose Kamala Harris as his vice president. policy. Maybe the best insurance policy I’ve ever seen,” Donald Trump, 78, told his supporters in Florida.
“If Joe had chosen someone even halfway competent, they would have kicked him out of office years ago, but they can’t because she must be his second choice,” he said while repeatedly mispronouncing her name.
Trump said that as vice president, Harris was given two very important tasks: border security and dissuading Russia from attacking Ukraine.
“First, she was put in charge of US border security. She never showed up. She never went. She never went there once. And the border is the worst border in the history of the world,” he claimed.
“We have the best border in history because it has the worst border in the history of the world. Then it was sent to Europe to dissuade Russia from attacking Ukraine. How did that work? Not very good. Both times, the The result was a deadly failure. Since Kamala was named border czar, the Biden-Harris administration has lost track of nearly 150,000 children, many of whom have undoubtedly been raped, trafficked, killed or horribly abused,” Trump said. .
Trump accused Harris, 59, of being a socialist.
“I don’t think Kamala Harris’ California socialism is going to please the people of Doral, the people of Miami or the people of Florida. right? We want our freedom,” he said.
“Joe, Kamala and the entire Democratic establishment were caught red-handed in the middle of the biggest scandal and the biggest cover-up…it’s a cover-up. It’s the biggest cover-up in political history. As you know, they are all co-conspirators in the sinister conspiracy to defraud the American public about the cognitive capabilities of the man in the Oval Office,” Trump alleged.
