Donald Trump is a wannabe dictator and “No Serious Man,” Kamala Harris said on Media Blitz

Donald Trump is a “lackadaisical person”, a “sore loser” who craves dictatorship, Vice President Kamala Harris warned the satellite radio host Howard Stern during an appearance Tuesday afternoon.

“Donald Trump there is a desire to become a dictator,” Harris said. “He admires strong people. And he was played by them because he thought they were his friends.”

Harris made the comments on Stern’s Sirius XM show as part of an explosive media blitz that also included Recent stop on the podcast Call her dadCBS News’ 60 minutes And View mode. The wide-ranging and sympathetic interview with Stern—in which the former athlete shockingly pledged to vote for Harris unequivocally—covers topics from abortion and voting rejection to breakfast cereals Harris’s favorites (Raisin Bran and Special K) and typical morning exercise routine (30 minutes on the elliptical machine).

The two also repeatedly returned to the topic of Trump’s personality, something Stern knows well as an old friend and companion of the 45th president. “How can anyone justify any of this? I don’t understand, it’s crazy,” Stern said of Trump’s behavior. “And I’ve known Donald Trump for years – he was at my wedding and I always had a good time with him. But not as president of the United States.”

Stern has repeatedly criticized Trump for his handling of issues including abortion and the Covid-19 pandemic, both of which came up in his conversation with Harris. Regarding abortion, Harris said, Trump “handpicked three members of the United States Supreme Court to do exactly what they did: Take away the right of an individual to make decisions about his or her health.” their own body”.

The couple also discussed A damn new report about Trump’s relationship with the Russian president Vladimir Putin. Trump, according to a new book by journalist Bob Woodwardsecretly sent Covid-19 testing machines to Putin during the pandemic and had private conversations with the Russian dictator as recently as this spring. (Trump’s campaign has said book contains “fabricated stories.”)

Trump “admires dictators,” Harris said, and has promised “to be a dictator from day one.” Stern asked Harris if she would feel safe staying in the US if Trump won; Harris dodged the question, instead saying she was “doing everything she can” to win the election.

But that battle has become “surreal,” the vice president admitted, as her opponent continues to dabble in conspiracies and truths. Harris described a sense of unreality during the September 10 debate with Trump, when the former president spread an unfounded online rumor about Haitian immigrants in Ohio eating dogs and cats. “This is a very important moment to win the votes of the American people,” she said. “And he was talking about things that were factually untrue and quite ridiculous.”

The unscripted, hours-long appearance with Stern represented something of a departure for Harris, who has previously kept a distance from the press and participated in only three television interviews in the month 9. She plans to make twice as much in the first week and a half of October, according to Washington Poston Monday reported that Harris’s sudden media outburst designed to appeal to voting blocs that do not yet fully support the vice president.

To achieve that goal, Harris and her companion, Minnesota Governor Tim Walzhas created a series of podcasts and other digital media projects that typically don’t make the campaign circuit, incl Call her dad, All the smoke, And smarter. Call her dad is the most popular podcast among women in the United States; All smoke is a sports podcast aimed at black men and smarter is a comedy podcast hosted by Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, And Will Arnett.

Meanwhile, Trump and his running mate, appeared on the podcast hosted by influencers like YouTubers Logan Paul and stand-up comedian According to Von. The former president also seems to keep track of his opponent’s press appearances.

“Lyin’ Kamala … is being exposed as a ‘dummy’ every time she performs,” ​​Trump wrote Tuesday afternoon on Truth Social.
