Donald Trump has reposted a crudely misogynistic comment about Kamala Harris on Truth Social in a move that reprised his past record of sexist behaviour and brazenly flouted pleas from members of his own party to emphasize issues over personal attacks.
With fresh polls showing Harris further improving her standing – and widening the gap with her opponent among women voters – Trump drew online opprobrium by sharing a vulgar post on his social media site implying that the Democratic nominee owed her political rise to sexual favours.
The post – originally posted by another user – featured photos of Harris and Hillary Clinton alongside the comment: “Funny how blowjobs impacted both their careers differently…”
The comment was an oblique reference to innuendo surrounding Harris’s former relationship with Willie Brown, the San Francisco mayor. The mention of Clinton – Trump’s defeated opponent in the 2016 presidential election – alluded to the affair between Monica Lewinsky, a former White House intern, and her husband Bill Clinton in the 1990s, which came close to ending his presidency.

The more he does these sort of basic misogynistic and racist attacks, the more people he turns off. Sure, just a few here and a few there, but everyone has their limits and he is reaching a lot of limits.
Will they vote for Harris? Probably not. I think he’s going to face the issue the Democrats were looking at facing before Biden dropped out: a bunch of people on their side staying home on election day.
I bet he is trying to use this to drown out media coverage of the Arlington debacle.
I doubt he’s capable of that level of strategic thinking. It’s more likely that his handlers are simply directing the firehose of shit to that purpose.
he’s not “trying” to do anything, he does this shit all the time anyway. It was his entire schtick even before becoming a candidate in 2015 or whenever. If the Arlington thing happened last week you’d be saying the same thing about reposting the Taylor Swift AI images. This is just who he is, and 30-40% of the country (in key electoral college areas) are also childish bigots so it works for him.
Trump hates women of power, because of his narcissism combined with an enormous inferiority complex, he needs to feel inherently superior because without his inheritance he would be an absolute nobody with no real skills or talents.
He knows he is inferior to these women he degrade, but his narcissism forbids him from acknowledging it.
