Former President Donald Trump said that he's "entitled" to personally attack Vice President Kamala Harris because he doesn't "have a lot of respect for her."

Speaking with reporters at a news conference at his golf club at Bedminster, New Jersey, on Thursday afternoon, Trump was asked if he believed his "strategy" of attacking his political opponents was working in his reelection campaign.

"I'm very angry at her, that she weaponized the justice system against me and other people," the former president responded.

"I think I am entitled to personal attacks," Trump added. "I don't have a lot of respect for [Harris]. I don't have a lot of respect for her intelligence, and I think she'll be a terrible president."

Sounds like your feed might be a bit fucked. I constantly see stuff about Harris and walzs policies and stances.

Top story about Harris on CBS News (top story was just-broken news about SCOTUS, second non-policy story about Trump):

Kamala Harris releases economic plan aiming to lower housing costs, end price gouging

Top story on NBC News:

Harris makes her big pitch to bring down high costs of living

Top story on ABC News:

Harris unveils economic plans on inflation, housing. Here's what economists think

Top story on MSNBC:

Project 2025's training videos just took Trump’s clumsy abortion stance from bad to worse

Top story on shitty CNN:

Harris’ plan to stop price gouging could create more problems than it solves

Top headline on the New York Times website:

Harris and Trump Offer a Clear Contrast on the Economy

Top headline about Harris on the Washington Post website (top story was on Ukraine):

So are you looking at Fox News or the New York Post or something?

You should probably find better news sources, because Kamala and Tim have been talking non-stop about policy for weeks, and I see articles about it constantly. Not enough to always make it through the noise, but still.

Most people in the US agree with you. The problem is that those companies are all owned by old rich xenophobic, homophobic, every other type of phobic, douchebags.

[-] ThunderWhiskers@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

You are demonstrably incorrect on this. Either you are looking at the wrong sources, you have fucked up your feed, or you're only paying attention to the sensationalist nonsense.
