Former President Donald Trump called his rival Kamala Harris a “shitty vice president” on Saturday night, during a Latrobe, Pennsylvania, rally, emphasizing her broader argument that she is too liberal, but in a more aggressive way and with renewed vulgarity.
Trump added the catchphrase from his old TV show The Apprentice to cheers “Kamala, you are fired, get out of here.”
Trump’s comment was met with cheers and was soon echoed by other vulgar cries from the crowd.
Kamala Harris, who was campaigning in Atlanta on Saturday, harshly criticized Trump for rambling in his public statements. “He has a tendency to go off script and ramble, usually unable to finish a single idea,” he said. “And he’s called it a plot, but I think we call it nonsense here.”
Donald Trump had begun his Latrobe, Pennsylvania, not by talking about central campaign issues, but with a more than 10-minute story about Gulf legend Arnold Palmer, a Latrobe native.
The former president called the late golfer “a friend,” tracing Palmer’s biography from his childhood in poverty to playing golf with him when he was in his 70s. At one point Trump suggested that Palmer had unusually large genitals.
After calling Palmer “quite a name,” Trump said when he showered with the other professionals they would come out and say “Oh my God, that’s incredible.”
The Harris campaign was quick to seize on the anecdote.
He suggested that someone should do a well-being check on the former president while another, Matt Corridoni, posted on X Trump “was having a totally normal one.”
In a statement, the Harris campaign sarcastically chastised Trump for focusing on the most important issue for voters in that election, the anatomy of a deceased golfer.
CNN reported that Jason Miller, a senior adviser to Donald Trump, said the former president’s speech on Saturday in Pennsylvania is expected to be the start of the final stretch of the election race and that a more formal closing argument will be presented at Trump’s rally. at Madison Square Garden next weekend.
