Trump sparks outrage in latest rally, calls VP Kamala Harris ‘a dumb person’

In a fiery campaign rally in Pennsylvania, a crucial swing state, Donald Trump, on Wednesday, unleashed a barrage of insults aimed at prominent female figures, including Vice President Kamala Harris, Whoopi Goldberg, and Senator Elizabeth Warren.

The former president’s vitriolic speech sparked controversy and raised eyebrows among critics.

Trump lambasted Harris, calling her a “dumb person” and claiming she’s “not smart.” He also suggested that President Joe Biden appears “sharper” than her. This wasn’t the only attack on Harris; Trump has consistently targeted her and other high-profile women throughout his campaign.

Goldberg and Warren were also in Trump’s crosshairs. He labeled Goldberg “demented” and mocked Warren, continuing his history of criticizing female politicians and media personalities.

Despite his history of inflammatory comments, Trump claimed that his words don’t impact how women view him. “I think [women] like me anyway. I think it’s all bulls***. They make it up,” he said.

In addition to his personal attacks, Trump reiterated familiar, disputed claims about his ability to solve global conflicts. He asserted that world leaders “fear” him and that he could single-handedly resolve the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and Israel and Gaza.

This rally comes as Trump gears up for the final stretch before Election Day. He has several rallies planned, including one in Manhattan, a traditionally Democratic stronghold.

Trump’s Pennsylvania rally was characteristic of his campaign style, blending provocative rhetoric with unverified claims. As the election draws near, Trump’s strategy will be closely watched to see if it resonates with voters.
