Donald Trump has drawn ridicule and accusations of hypocrisy after accusing Kamala Harris of mistreating Mike Pence, the former vice-president who his supporters said should be hanged during the January 6 insurrection that he incited.

The Republican’s nominee’s comments came in an interview with Fox News, when he also singled out Harris’s 2018 cross-examination of Brett Kavanaugh during Senate confirmation hearings after Trump, then president, nominated him as a justice on the US supreme court.

. . .

Trump’s comments prompted a response from Harris’s campaign, which appeared to interpret it an example of age-related confusion and evidence that the former president, who is 78 and now the oldest presidential candidate in US history following Joe Biden’s withdrawal, is in mental decline.

    Hate to be pedantic, but what kind of phone is that in the photo? It has the white, wired headphones, and an actual phone jack.

    It says it’s a campaign event on Monday.

      Likely some form of secure/encrypted phone. There are special versions of phones made, not available to the general public.

      My phone (Motorola G32) has a headphone jack, and the headphones themselves aren’t part of the phone.
