Former President Donald Trump said that he’s “entitled” to personally attack Vice President Kamala Harris because he doesn’t “have a lot of respect for her.”

Speaking with reporters at a news conference at his golf club at Bedminster, New Jersey, on Thursday afternoon, Trump was asked if he believed his “strategy” of attacking his political opponents was working in his reelection campaign.

“I’m very angry at her, that she weaponized the justice system against me and other people,” the former president responded.

“I think I am entitled to personal attacks,” Trump added. “I don’t have a lot of respect for [Harris]. I don’t have a lot of respect for her intelligence, and I think she’ll be a terrible president.”

    She suddenly has/had so much power, apparently, considering she’s VP.

    I sure miss those days when all those great VPs whose names no one recalls wielded such massive power…

      The best part is when asked if JD would be ready to go day one if needed, Trump said that VP doesn’t matter and people only care about the President. So which is it? Does the VP have no power and no real use, or do they have all this secret power to set policy and control the Justice Department?

        Trump seems to enjoy throwing JD under the bus. He also claimed that all the “weird” accusations were just about JD, not him too.

          It has nothing to do with JD. He would be throwing anybody under the bus.
