How Trump Plotted to Be Ready for ‘Laffin’ Kamala’ Harris
Former president—and current presidential candidate—Donald Trump has already previewed his attacks on Kamala Harris, now a leading candidate to become the Democratic Presidential nominee after President Joe Biden's decision to step aside.
In a campaign rally yesterday in Grand Rapids, Michigan—his first since the assassination attempt on his life in Butler, Pennsylvania a week ago—Trump said, “I call her Laughing Kamala. Have you watched her laugh? She is crazy. You know, you can tell a lot by a laugh. No, she's crazy. She's nuts.”
Trump and senior Republicans have been preparing the groundwork for attacks on Harris for weeks, ever since Biden's disastrous debate appearance three weeks ago. A week after that debacle, in a July 4th message, Trump debuted the line on Truth Social: “Respects to our potentially new Democrat Challenger, Laffin’ Kamala Harris.”
