USA Trump insults Harris as "stupid"

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has called his Democratic opponent Kamala Harris "stupid". "She has a really low IQ", the former US president claimed during a campaign appearance in Atlanta, Georgia. Trump denigrated the incumbent vice president and Democratic presidential candidate as a "lunatic" and a "radical left-wing freak".

The Republican compared Harris to Senator Bernie Sanders, who himself had run for the Democratic presidential nomination in the past and stands for very left-wing positions. "She's worse than Bernie Sanders. She's like Bernie Sanders, but not as smart," he mocked. "She's a dumb version of Bernie Sanders, and even further left than him."

Trump covers his opponents with vile insults as standard. In the past, he has also disparaged several people in relation to their alleged low intelligence quotient and described himself as a "mentally very stable genius".

The fact that he is currently stepping up his tone towards his opponent in the presidential election in November may also have something to do with the fact that Harris currently has some momentum in the election campaign. She is currently generating a high level of donations and is performing better in initial polls against Trump than US President Joe Biden, who originally wanted to run against the Republican but dropped out of the race under pressure from his party.
