Donald Trump leveled his worst slur yet at Vice President Kamala Harris while speaking to his supporters in a small Wisconsin town on Saturday.
The former president insulted Harris as he ranted about illegal border crossings and described her as “mentally retarded.”
‘Kamala has an intellectual disability. If a Republican did what she did, that Republican would be impeached and removed from office, and rightfully so, for high crimes and misdemeanors,” Trump began.
Trump claimed that the Democratic candidate was responsible for migrants who entered the country illegally and committed crimes.

“Think about it: 13,099 convicted murderers. They are all our country now. And I’ve been saying that for three years. She let in rapists, gang members, drug dealers, child predators and traffickers,” he raged.
‘Joe Biden became mentally disabled. Kamala was born this way. She was born that way,” Trump repeated.
“And when you think about it, only a mentally disabled person could have let this happen to our country.”
Trump’s comments come amid a barrage of racist and sexist attacks from him and his allies on Harris, the first woman and first Black and South Asian person to serve as US vice president.
Trump has called Harris “crazy,” “crazy” and “dumb as a rock,” and has wrongly suggested that she previously downplayed her black heritage.
Last month he came under fire for sharing a post suggesting his opponent only achieved success thanks to a ‘blowjob’.
During Saturday’s rally, Trump added that Harris could never be forgiven for “obliterating our border.” Pictured, Arris, center, talks Saturday with John Modlin, chief patrol agent for the U.S. Border Patrol’s Tucson Sector

The original comment was made by another Truth Social media user, who wrote beneath a photo of Hillary Clinton, Harris and Trump’s 2016 Democratic rival, “Funny how blowjobs affected both of their careers differently…”
Trump, meanwhile, inherited significant wealth from his father, Fred Trump, a successful real estate developer in New York.
As Trump expanded his operations, he faced financial challenges: Between 1991 and 2009, six of his companies filed for bankruptcy, mostly in the casino industry.
The bankruptcies were used to restructure debts without directly affecting his personal finances.
Despite these setbacks, Trump has often achieved success in real estate and branding, while the true extent of his wealth remains a subject of debate.
One thing Trump has no shortage of is insults and nicknames. Last month, he made a thinly veiled jab at Harris for describing himself as “prettier.”
The 78-year-old Trump began musing about Harris’ recent image on the cover of Time Magazine, which he previously compared to his wife Melania.
“I look a lot better than them,” Trump said, drawing laughter from the crowd. “I look better than Kamala.”
During Saturday’s rally, Trump added that Harris could never be forgiven for “obliterating our border.”
“She should never be president of the United States,” he continued.
“She lets people come into your house and break into your house,” he said.
Trump also claimed not to understand what Harris meant when she said he was responsible for taking children from their parents.

Under his administration, Trump separated children from their parents at the US-Mexico border in a policy that was globally condemned as inhumane and that Trump himself ended.
The former president hopes frustration over illegal immigration will translate into votes in Wisconsin and other crucial swing states.
The Republican candidate has denounced people who cross the US-Mexico border as “poisoners of the country’s blood” and vowed to stage the largest deportation operation in US history if elected.
“I will free Wisconsin from the massive invasion of migrants,” he said. ‘We are going to liberate the country.’
Trump has repeatedly portrayed migrants as criminals and accused Harris of failing to stem an unprecedented rise in illegal immigration, even though the number of border crossings has declined since President Joe Biden issued an executive order limiting asylum applications.
Democrats, in turn, have blamed Trump for convincing allies in Congress to kill bipartisan legislation that would have funded more border agents and given the Secretary of Homeland Security the authority to restrict entry for most people above a daily limit to ban.
The rally stage in Wisconsin with Trump featured three mugshots of men in the US illegally charged with a crime, including Alejandro Jose Coronel Zarate, a case Trump cited in his speech.

Wisconsin Republicans in recent days have pushed the story of Coronel Zarate’s arrest in Prairie du Chien as more evidence that people in the country illegally are committing crimes in the United States, and not just in the southern border states.
Prosecutors charged Coronel Zarate on September 18 with sexual assault, child abuse, strangulation and domestic violence.
Police Chief Kyle Teynor posted statements on Facebook saying Coronel Zarate is not a U.S. citizen and that he had two fake immigration documents, including a fake Social Security card.
The chief added that Coronel Zarate’s tattoos indicate he has ties to the Tren de Aragua gang, which started in Venezuelan prisons and is a growing threat in the US.
