Deep Look:
“She wouldn’t have any idea what happened,” Trump added, likening Harris’ potential presidency to a “grand chess master playing a beginner.” These remarks are the latest in a series of personal insults Trump has directed toward Harris throughout the campaign. The former president has referred to her as “lazy,” “stupid,” and “slow,” often using derogatory terms historically employed to demean women and people of color.
Trump’s personal attacks have been a defining feature of his political strategy since his 2016 run, where he branded his opponents with nicknames like “Low Energy” Jeb Bush and “Little” Marco Rubio. His comments about Harris have followed a similar pattern, but with a specific focus on infantilizing the vice president and questioning her competence. Trump has also accused Harris of being “on drugs” and possessing a “low IQ.”
Thursday’s remarks came less than two weeks before the election, reflecting Trump’s increasingly combative tone. The former president has escalated his rhetoric in recent weeks, casting Harris as a grave threat to the country while accusing her of orchestrating a “wicked betrayal of America” in her handling of immigration. Trump made this accusation during a rally in Tempe, Arizona, later the same day.
Harris has responded to Trump’s attacks with her own sharp rhetoric, calling him “unhinged” and a “fascist” during a CNN town hall. Harris has also accused Trump of destabilizing the country and undermining democracy. She is using her final campaign days to rally voters in key states like Georgia, where she appeared Thursday night alongside former President Barack Obama and musician Bruce Springsteen.
In Thursday’s interview, Trump continued to criticize Harris’ performance in public appearances, describing her as coming across “like a child, almost,” during her CNN town hall. “She’s an empty vessel,” Trump said, accusing her of being manipulated by “a very smart, very powerful, very liberal” faction of the Democratic Party.
Trump’s allies have echoed his attacks on Harris, with some taking an even more aggressive approach. At a recent rally in Georgia, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson warmed up the crowd by comparing Harris to a misbehaving child, suggesting that Trump was ready to punish her for her actions. Carlson told the audience, “Dad is pissed. And when dad gets home, you know what he says? ‘You’ve been a bad girl, and you’re getting a vigorous spanking.’”
The inflammatory rhetoric has extended beyond public figures like Carlson. Brenden Dilley, a pro-Trump commentator known for his social media presence, reacted to Harris’ CNN town hall with a vulgar insult, posting, “This dumb bitch might lose every state if voters see this.” While Dilley is not directly affiliated with the Trump campaign, the campaign has often shared memes and content produced by his team.
Despite the escalating rhetoric, Harris has maintained her focus on criticizing Trump’s leadership and presenting herself as a stable alternative. During a campaign stop in Georgia, she told supporters that Trump’s presidency was marked by chaos and that a second term would be even more destabilizing for the country. Harris emphasized the importance of voter turnout, urging her supporters to cast their ballots early.
Harris is not without her own star power in the final days of the campaign. On Thursday, she was joined by Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen at a rally in the Atlanta suburbs, where she called out Trump’s behavior and vowed to restore dignity to the White House. Harris will next travel to Texas for a rally with singer Beyoncé, continuing to leverage celebrity endorsements in her effort to energize Democratic voters.
As the race enters its final phase, the contrast between Trump’s personal attacks and Harris’ emphasis on policy and stability will be at the forefront of voters’ minds. While Trump’s comments may resonate with his base, Harris hopes her message of competence and leadership will win over undecided voters and solidify her support ahead of Election Day.
