President Donald Trump referred to his 2024 presidential rival — former Vice President Kamala Harris — as “dumb as a rock” in a Wednesday social media post, calling her out for a claim she’d been making as she promoted her memoir.
Trump mocked Harris, who has repeatedly claimed that the 2024 election was exceptionally close, as she makes the rounds in the press ahead of the release of her book, “107 Days,” about her abbreviated run for the White House in 2024.
“Kamala Harris, who is DUMB AS A ROCK, is going around and using, as a standard part of her Speech on why she lost the Election, that 2024 was the ‘closest Presidential Election in the 21st Century,’” Trump posted.
Trump shared a graphic that showed the 2024 election results by county, adding, “Everyone knows this is a lie, and was covered as such by Fox News! I won the Electoral College, 312-226, a LANDSLIDE, Counties Nationwide, 2,600 to 525, a LANDSLIDE, all seven Swing States, a LANDSLIDE, and, despite the fact that California’s Fake Mail In Ballots came in at ridiculous numbers (It was RIGGED!), I still won the Popular Vote by MILLIONS!”
“Bush, as an example, won the Election by 537 Votes, and many other Elections were very close. Kamala’s ‘closest in the 21st Century’ soundbite was, like everything else in the Democrat Party, A TOTAL LIE! I expect an apology. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump closed out his post on his Truth Social platform.
Harris has already taken some backlash for the upcoming memoir that revealed the main reason she decided against naming former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg — her first choice for a running mate — as her vice presidential pick: she was concerned that voters would not accept a gay man running alongside a black woman.
