Former US President Donald Trump, on Monday, criticized his Democratic rival for the White House, Vice President Kamala Harris, calling her a “radical Left lunatic” and claimed that President Joe Biden was “close to vegetable stage.”
In a wide-ranging interview with Elon Musk on X, Trump’s social media platform, he launched attacks on both Democrats.
Speaking about Harris, Trump said, “Far Left, like far, far worse than Bernie Sanders,” referring to Senator Bernie Sanders, an Independent who caucuses with Democrats. “She is considered more liberal by far than Bernie Sanders. She’s a radical Left lunatic. And if she’s going to be our President very quickly, you’re not going to have a country anymore. She believes in defunding the police. She believes in no fracking, zero. You don’t know, all of a sudden she’s saying, No, I will. I really want to see fracking today, that is if they got it.”
Trump also criticized Harris’s tenure, stating, “She is going to be worse than him (Biden), because she is a San Francisco liberal who destroyed San Francisco, and then as Attorney General, she destroyed California.”
Trump’s comments come as he has been trailing in the 2024 presidential race. Since Biden stepped out of the race and endorsed Harris as the Democratic candidate, she has energized the Democratic Party, drawing large crowds and raising more funds than the Trump campaign. In response, Trump has been aggressively targeting her.
Regarding Biden, Trump said, “Now, Biden is, you know, close to the vegetable stage, in my opinion. I looked at him today on the beach, and I said, Why would anybody allow him? The guy could barely walk. Why would anybody allow him? He has a political advisor to think this looks good, you know, he thinks this looks good because it looks so bad. And it’s, it’s ridiculous, I mean, and he’s been doing that for a long time, you know, he can’t lift the chair. The chair weighs about three ounces. It’s meant for children and old people to lift, and he can’t lift it. The whole thing is crazy.”
Trump was referring to a recent video clip of Biden on the beach.
