Former President Donald Trump lashed out at Vice President Kamala Harris in a scathing new interview, calling her “weird.”
Trump spoke with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham about her campaign’s frequent attacks on himself and his vice presidential nominee, Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio.
The Harris team and leading Democrats launched a new attack on the Trump-Vance slate this week, calling MAGA Republicans “weird.”
Trump tried to spin the story, calling it a “scam.”
“You know who’s really weird? She’s really weird,” Trump told the host on her Ingraham Angle show.
“She’s a strange person. Look at her past. Look at what she does.”

He then moved on to innuendo, while his team is focusing on some of the left-wing policy positions from her 2020 campaign that Harris has since jettisoned.
“And look at what she said about herself, and I won’t get into that, what she said and who she was compared to, what she said starting around 2016. She became a completely different person. Just for political reasons,” Trump said.
In 2011, Trump gave $5,000 to Harris’ campaign for California attorney general, records show. He gave another $1,000 in 2013, before she was re-elected to the top law enforcement post.
Democrats are leaning on the “outlandish” attack, first launched by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, a leading contender for Harris’ running mate.
His anger over the “strange” attack came after Trump had railed against the Russia investigation during his time in the White House.

“And look at what she said about herself, and I won’t get into that, what she said and who she was compared to,” Trump said, without further elaboration
“Look what they’re doing, they’re just taking slogans,” Trump says said. “Russia, Russia, Russia. He’s a paid employee of Putin! These people are crazy,” Trump said.
After Trump criticized the Russia investigation, he began criticizing Joe Biden’s golf game.
“And everything about them, look at Biden. He said he would challenge me to golf. I’m a very good golfer. He’s a terrible golfer. This guy can’t hit a ball 30 yards,” Trump said.
He then bragged about hitting a “nice 7-iron right at the pin” on his golf course.
Trump also took aim at Biden in a radio interview on Tuesday, claiming that Harris “doesn’t like Jewish people,” despite being married to Doug Emhoff, who is Jewish.
The Democrats’ “strange” attacks on Trump are themselves a reversal of some of the core campaign themes that President Biden emphasized when he was nominated by the party. He called Trump a threat to democracy itself and repeatedly criticized him for inciting his supporters ahead of January 6.
Democrats are dropping their attacks in interviews and online criticism of Trump and his running mate JD Vance, countering his criticism of “childless” leaders who he says have too little interest in the country.
Walz called Trump and Vance “just weird” in an interview last week.
Harris then used the attack at a fundraiser, calling Trump’s “wild lies about my record and some of the things he and his running mate are saying just plain weird.”
Harris also asked Trump about the pronouns Harris uses to label herself — which she posts on her campaign page. X account.
“Kamala Harris, in her Twitter bio, which I never noticed until this morning, uses she/her pronouns,” Ingraham said, asking her subject, “What are your pronouns?”
“I don’t have — I don’t want pronouns,” Trump responded. “I don’t want pronouns, I saw that.”
“So you’re fluid?” he asked, using a gender term.
“Nobody even knows what that means,” Trump said.
