During a rally on Saturday night, Trump said the media was rallying around Ms Harris as she closed a polling gap between the two and saw a surge in campaign contributions.
The speech saw the former president abandon any of his initial messages of unity following his shooting, telling the crowd that it may have only made him worse. He said Ms Harris, a centrist former state prosecutor, is being compared to Margaret Thatcher by the media without any evidence.
“Three months ago, she was thought of so badly, [the media] were just killing her,” he said of the Vice President at a rally on Saturday. “And now they’re trying to make her into a – let’s say – Margaret Thatcher. I don’t think so. It’s not going to happen. “Margaret Thatcher didn’t laugh like that. Did she? If she did, she wouldn’t have been Margaret Thatcher,” the Republican added, labelling his rival “Laughin’ Kamala Harris”.
Trump never fails to disgust. One detects a certain level of desperation now. Fact is, Trump knows he stands little chance of winning the presidential race now; so he's aiming low. – © Mark Alexander
