Kamala Harris beautiful on Time cover, says Donald Trump
Claiming that Kamala Harris is getting a ‘free ride’ the media, Donald Trump has slammed Time for making her look like ‘the most beautiful actress ever’.
Trump said Ms Harris was “terrible” during a two-hour conversation with Elon Musk aired on X, but noted that she had not endured enough interrogations on her stances since becoming the Democrats’ presidential candidate.
“Look at her, she is terrible but she gets to just ride,” were the words from Trump. Today, a picture of her in the Time magazine. . . she looks like the most beautiful actress to have ever graced the face of the earth.
Our first lady of style was about to quit on Melania’s lookalike, when Trump reassured her saying he was talking about the magazine cover in front of Mr Musk.
“She didn’t look like Kamala but of-course she is a beautiful woman and so let’s drop it. ”
For this story, Ms Harris did not agree to be interviewed, and although she has given occasional one-on-one media interviews since replacing Joe Biden as the Democrats’ presidential candidate, this has been scrutinized by the Republicans.
Trump slammed his political opponent for announcing that she will not do an interview, he accused her of getting a friendly interviewer.
The Time piece noted that Ms Harris had achieved the ‘fastest from-dour-to-goofy vibe switch in recent political history’, lauded her work ethic and political agility, and christened her the ‘whip-smart, lightening-fast meteor’ .
Lively and occasionally erratic, the stream of talk between Trump and Mr Musk started forty-five minutes behind schedule after the X-owner announced that his was crippled by a ‘massive’ cyber attack.
‘More Trump than Trump’
The former president described Ms Harris as a “San Francisco liberal” who had sought to gaslight the voters by attempting to emulate a “Trump-ier Trump than Trump himself” as soon as she joined the race.
Ms Harris clinched a position of policy announcement on the weekend where she said she would mimic Trump’s cancellation of tax on tips – a move which angered the Republican to the point of posting on Truth Social.
Trump told Mr Musk that the vice-president was trying to copy “everything I do”, complaining: “No tax on tips: and all of a sudden, she’s making speeches; and there will be no tax on tips I said that months ago.
“She is a radical-Left San Francisco liberal, and now she’s trying to pretend, she’s looking like she wants to be more Trump than Trump if that is possible he continued. ” “It’s impossible for me to do that, I believe that. ”
Harris disinformation
Trump said it was a ‘disinformation campaign’ to hit at Ms Harris over her immigration policy.
He accused Ms Harris of being Joe Biden’s ‘border tsar’ and said she had overseen 20 million people entering the US illegally and mocking her recent attempts to improve security on the US-Mexico border.
‘You people cannot let them get away with this disinformation,’ While targeting Pelosi, Trump said, ‘Now she’s pretending that she wasn’t really involved, and the entire thing is so horrible. ’
“She was completely in charge,” said one of them. “She could have closed the border down without [Mr Biden. ] He was just fiddling around anyways. ”
Global warming
Trump started speaking of solar panels at length when Mr Musk, the former chairman and chief executive of electric car-maker Tesla, tried to persuade him of the dangers of global warming and pollution.
It’s rare for the former president to get engaged in matters touching on the environment, but this week he said, “I’m sort of waiting for you to come up with solar panels on the roofs of your cars and on the trunks of the cars. ”
“And it just seems like something that at some point you will come up with. I’m sure you’ll be the first,” he went on. “A solar panel on surfaces might be reasonable at the very least in some regions of the nation. ”
He then agreed that ‘it is not my world’ and attempted to bring the argument back to the proliferation of nuclear weapons.
Trump, whose core business is real estate, quipped about the possibility of the oceans’ rise and the financial gains it could bring.
“The biggest threat is not global warming, where the ocean is trying to rise one-eighth of an inch over the next 400 hundred years,” he said to Mr Musk.
“You will have more ocean front land right? The big threat is not that The big threat is nuclear warming because we have five countries today that have a lot of nuclear power and we cannot let anything happen with people like Biden. ”
‘I’ll move to Venezuela’
In the reminder of the interaction, Trump told the leader of Venezuela that if he were to lose the election in November this year, he would be more comfortable to meet him in Venezuela, “This would be a far safer place to meet than our country”, reasoned the US president.
He said that the South American country has reduced the crime rate by ’setting free’ criminals who migrated to the US border.
“These are their criminals, these are their murderers, these are their rapists and they are delivering them… it is a very large assumption,” he said to Mr Musk.
“If something happens with this election, which would be a horror show, we will be meeting the next time in Venezuela, because it will far safer to hold a meeting there than in our country,” he said.
‘You and I will go, and we will have a meeting and dinner in Venezuela’.
Musk pitches ideas
Mr Musk made several attempts to pitch ideas to Trump for his second term, but he wasn’t successful in doing so especially when addressing the 78-year-old.
Trump reacted in a word when the billionaire said he had made ‘some progress’ in deregulation during his first stint in the presidency, but could turn ‘radical’ if he were to be in the presidency again.
“We now hold the record,” he argued. “It is a fact that both deregulation and restrictions were done for all sorts of businesses’ more than any other president we have known. ”
Mr Musk failed to engage the Republican in a proposal to form a “government efficiency commission” to properly spend the taxpayers’ cash. The Republican appeared to dismiss the billionaire three times when the latter asked if he needed his support, before the Republican responded that he “love” it.
Sacking workers
Mr Trump who looked forward to impressing Mr Musk throughout their conversation applauded him over the latter’s dismissal of striking employees.
The former president repeated the words attributed to Ruskina: “You walk in, you say, ‘You want to quit?’ “You don’t have to mention the name of the company, they go on strike you say, ‘That is fine, all of you are gone. You, you, you are all gone. ’”
Thus, the union that supports Ms Harris in the presidential election, known as the United Auto Workers (UAW), accused the pair of federal violations aiming to ‘threaten and intimidate workers who seek to exercise their rights to self-organization’.
Anything about Trump is always contentious, but regardless of what or whom he was pointing to, Tesla has in the past dismissed claims that it fired 27 of its employees in New York for trying to unionize.
There are many reports of Mr Musk being an unforgiving manager who fires people left and right and brought it down from 700 to a mere 140 employees, X’s workforce. In this year he declared his intent to end 14,000 positions at Tesla.
