During a press conference held in Bedminster, New Jersey, former US President, Donald Trump made no bones about his personal grievances against current Vice President, Kamala Harris. Trump justified his reproachful remarks as his prerogative, shifting the event’s focal point from the economy and cost of living to his political rivals and the state of immigration.
Trump expressed his outrage against Harris and the entire Biden-Harris administration, blaming them for the current state of affairs, namely inflation and immigration. He baselessly asserted that Harris had a hand in his legal woes, including his impending sentence for his hush-money case in New York and various other criminal cases against him in Washington D.C. and Atlanta, though no evidence of such involvement exists.
“I think I’m entitled to personal attacks,” the stringent former president declared, adding, “I don’t have a lot of respect for her intelligence and I think she’ll be a terrible president.” He also disparagingly addressed immigrants residing in the United States, expressing deep-seated resentment.
Despite calls from fellow Republicans to refrain from personal remarks and focus on issues, Trump continues to face backlash for his attitude, as Harris ascends in the polls. Comments questioning Harris’s racial identity attracted widespread public contempt.
Harris’s campaign was not shy about deriding the former president in response to his news conference. The campaign dismissed the event as Trump “huffed and puffed” while spreading “his usual lies and delusions,” according to Harris campaign spokesperson James Singer.
The former president did, however, devote time to deriding the economic performance of the Biden-Harris administration, highlighting inflation and supply chain problems. His critique comes a day before Harris’s scheduled major economic address.
Trump used a backdrop of assorted groceries to highlight rising consumer prices, yet officially reported monthly inflation rates tell a different tale. The U.S. Department of Labor recently declared a drop in the annual inflation rate to 2.9%, with food prices up by 2.2% and energy prices increasing by 1.1% over the previous year.
The former president also extended his reproval to the Biden administration’s handling of illegal border crossings. Trump’s allegations about migrants taking over the job market and Harris allowing “at least 20 million people to invade our country” lack factual basis
. The Department of Homeland Security estimated 11 million unauthorized immigrants residing in the U.S. as of January 2022, refuting the former president’s claims. Harris has not proposed granting unrestricted access to federal resources for undocumented immigrants, contrary to Trump’s allegations.
