Trump, sans ear bandage for first time since assassination attempt, slams Harris as a ‘bum’ in Florida speech
SUMMARY
Donald Trump, appearing without an ear bandage for the first time since an assassination attempt, blasted Kamala Harris as a “bum” during a Turning Point Action summit speech on Friday. Trump, 78, called the 59-year-old vice president a "failed VP, in a failed administration," mocking her role as Border Czar. He mispronounced her name intentionally, saying, “I couldn’t care less if I mispronounce it.” Reflecting on his recovery, he said, “As I think you can see, I’ve recovered well and, in fact, just took off the last bandage off of my ear.” Since Biden endorsed Harris for the Democratic nomination, Trump has intensified his attacks, calling her “vicious and dumb” and dubbing her "Lyin Kamala Harris." Harris has responded by criticizing Trump in her campaign rallies, escalating the rhetoric as the 2024 presidential race heats up.
