Trump reverts to stereotypes as campaign fumbles to respond to Harris pick

It took President Donald Trump less than two minutes to reach for the word "nasty" as he reacted to California Sen. Kamala Harris' historic selection as the first Black woman to join a major-party ticket.

A few minutes later, the President added "meanest" and "most horrible" to his characterization of Harris and claimed she was "disrespectful" in her attacks on Biden during the Democratic primary, when they stood on the debate stage as equals.
...
Harris was one candidate that several Trump campaign advisers said they did not want, according to two sources familiar with the discussions. Several Trump campaign advisers told CNN they would have preferred to see Biden pick from the other finalists on his shortlist, with a preference for former national security adviser Susan Rice and Rep. Karen Bass, both viewed as lightning rods for controversy.

"She is certainly formidable," a source close to the campaign said. "She will inject some much-needed energy into the campaign."

like that bloated piece of toxic treasonous trash is worthy of an opinion on anything.. much less Joe Biden's VP pick, Senator Kamala Harris.

".. "She will inject some much-needed energy into the campaign." Oh yeah? like trump can't walk down a short ramp without help or drink water with one hand.. energy?

at his campaign rallies? Like any comedian, he needs new material. His act is repetitive, redundant, and

I need one of those signs, I'd totally rock that on my truck.

Still is. Least presidential EVER to take over the WH. He is a disgrace. No CLASS, no intelligence, no respect at all. He is a DUD. Always has been, always will be. The gop picked themselves a Russian puppet as their leader, and like all things tRump - it flopped. They picked rubles over respect and look where it got them.

except:
Russia DID get their money's worth. Look at how much BunkerBoy has destroyed in his own reign of terror:
International relations with allies - ignoring Russian bounties on American soldiers - disruption within our own government.
If anything, they got a bargain.
It's going to take years of work to clean up the mess that their puppet has made in our country.

damage alone. The gop gladly helped him. The money poured in from Russia, and the gop scooped it up. They knew from the start that tRump is stupid, but he got their tax cuts passed, Social Security and Medicare are on the chopping block just as the gop has dreamed about. McConnell needs to GO, he is bought and paid for to destroy the middle class, and any entitlement programs. He has made himself a fortune by working AGAINST his constituents.

I was referring to him talking about Kamala being mean to Biden during the debates. He was mean to everyone during his campaign and look how he treated Hillary.
