“This is a ticket that would like to see this country become communist immediately“. Thus Donald Trump, in a telephone interview given this morning to Fox and Friends, attacked Kamala Harris and her newly chosen ‘veep’ Tim Walz, described by the tycoon as extremely progressive, on a par with Bernie Sanders.
The anecdote
In fact, Trump then told an anecdote about the governor of Minnesota, claiming that he saved him when, in 2020 during the protests after the murder of George Floyd, “thousands” of his supporters “with American and MAGA flags” had surrounded his residence. According to Trump, it was the Democrat himself who called the then president to ask him “to spread the word that he was a good person”.
Trump’s intervention would have caused the demonstrators to retreat, so much so that Walz would have called him to thank him: “He called me and thanked me very much, it was the only time I had to deal with him”, said the former president who in truth in 2019 had appointed Walz to the board of governors.
Trump called it “an insult to Jews” that Kamala Harris ultimately chose Tim Walz, rather than Josh Shapiro, as her vice presidential nomineeagainst whom the Democratic left had mobilized due to his positions on Israel.
In a telephone interview with Fox and Friends, the former president said he was “not a big fan” of the Pennsylvania governor, but said he “would have been a better choice” than the Minnesota governor. “I think any Jewish person who votes Democrat should have their head checked,” Trump later added, repeating a point he often makes.
Debate with Harris
Then a new attack on Kamala Harris: “I heard she’s a bad person, but she’s not good at debates, but we’ll see because I’m having a debate with her in the very near future.” Trump used the term, ‘nasty’, which he has always used against his political opponents, from Hillary Clinton to Nancy Pelosi.
“It will be announced very soon, but the debate will take place, and I would prefer to see it on Fox News anyway.I’m all for Fox, but two people have to agree,” added the former president who in recent days declared “null” the agreement made when Joe Biden was still a candidate to have the second debate on September 10 on ABC News.
Alternatively, the Republican candidate said he was willing to participate in a debate hosted by Fox on September 4 in Pennsylvania, an offer that was not accepted by Harris’ team, accusing Trump of having backtracked on the agreement for September 10. “I think the debates are very important, so that we can expose them as Biden was exposed,” the tycoon said again today, referring to the fact that the disaster of the debate in Atlanta at the end of June started the process that then led the president to announce on July 21 his withdrawal from the race for re-election.
