Donald Trump has reposted a crudely misogynistic comment about Kamala Harris on Truth Social in a move that reprised his past record of sexist behaviour and brazenly flouted pleas from members of his own party to emphasize issues over personal attacks.
With fresh polls showing Harris further improving her standing – and widening the gap with her opponent among women voters – Trump drew online opprobrium by sharing a vulgar post on his social media site implying that the Democratic nominee owed her political rise to sexual favours.
The post – originally posted by another user – featured photos of Harris and Hillary Clinton alongside the comment: “Funny how blowjobs impacted both their careers differently…”
The comment was an oblique reference to innuendo surrounding Harris’s former relationship with Willie Brown, the San Francisco mayor. The mention of Clinton – Trump’s defeated opponent in the 2016 presidential election – alluded to the affair between Monica Lewinsky, a former White House intern, and her husband Bill Clinton in the 1990s, which came close to ending his presidency.
I bet he is trying to use this to drown out media coverage of the Arlington debacle.
I doubt he’s capable of that level of strategic thinking. It’s more likely that his handlers are simply directing the firehose of shit to that purpose.
2D Checkers!
Bingo!!
and they collapsed like a house of cards. checkmate.
Good point. I should have said “they are”.
he’s not “trying” to do anything, he does this shit all the time anyway. It was his entire schtick even before becoming a candidate in 2015 or whenever. If the Arlington thing happened last week you’d be saying the same thing about reposting the Taylor Swift AI images. This is just who he is, and 30-40% of the country (in key electoral college areas) are also childish bigots so it works for him.
He does this to get people to talk about him. He hates not being the topic of every conversation. He will do ANYTHING to become the most spoken about topic.
There are no depths he won’t plunge to. I’m genuinely worried that at the debate, he will soil himself and start throwing it around while Kamala is talking.
