Donald Trump called his opponent Kamala Harris 'retarded' as he lashed out at Republican donors at a private fundraiser.
The former president was giving a speech to some of the wealthiest Americans at Trump Tower in New York City on September 29.
Instead of sweet talking them into opening their wallets, he tore into his backers for letting him fall behind Harris in fundraising all while eating steak and baked potatoes.
The vice president has raised more than $1 billion in the three months since she took over the race from President Joe Biden.
While Trump's slur against Harris was the worst remark, but no one was spared his wrath, seven people there told the New York Times.
Rich donors had plenty of reasons to be grateful to him, he insisted, including lowering their taxes - though not all those listening agreed with that.
Trump also complained about how many Jews supported Harris, given his hardline pro-Israel stance, and claimed they needed their heads examined.
He used the same phrase about Jews at many of his rallies, and claimed they would bear some of the blame if he lost the election.
The same moment Trump was insulting her, Harris was raising another $28 million at her own fundraiser at the JW Marriott in Los Angeles.
Trump is no stranger to baselessly insulting his opponents' mental acuity, doing it almost daily while Biden was still running against him.
Just last month he called Harris 'mentally impaired' at a rally in Pennsylvania.
Harris, by contrast, made a groveling apology after responding 'well said' to a long question from a voter who called Trump's actions 'mentally retarded'.
'That word and others like it aren't acceptable. Ever,' she said, claiming not to have heard the voter say it at the time.

Somehow I kept thinking about the old star trek episode "Patterns of Force"
And wondered who the man behind the curtains with drugs was.
As far as Kammy goes, I have dated women like her. It is all about her, and she will do anything to get ahead as long as she determines it will be in her long term best interests.
She is smart in her own sociopath way, as is Trump in his.
do I want her in office? not unless I know who is pulling her strings.
Every single person in this country should know she is the best actor the Dems could slot in, and can see it was by a totally democratic process she got there.
Back to rehashing this from 13 days ago.
People don’t believe that there are a lot of stupid lawyers, but you can believe it — there are.
And Harris is a good example of one.

Retard (pejorative)
As Rush used to say: “Words mean things.”
I call her that all the time.
I call every democrat that actually.
Who knew I was horrific?
Funny to watch these ‘tards clutch their pearls feigning great offence over trivial matters.
‘tard. Yes, the colloquial version.
“I’m smart!!! Not dumb, like they say!”
Trump has got to keep away from the personal crap and focus on her crazy policies. That doesn’t win a single vote and turns off some independents. He needs to take one track for the next three weeks - the economy, border controls, and rising crime. The personal stuff is a waste.
Again, he’s not wrong.
“The word is sometimes censored and referred to as the euphemistic “r‑word” or “r‑slur”.[4]”
Heh, only by homos.
My wife’s explanation is the Daily Mail is upset because they had to pay Melania a huge defamation settlement for calling her a hooker.
Interesting then they question how Trump refers to people.
Good assessment. I saw the headline and thought maybe he had called her the “N” word.
<< Trump is no stranger to baselessly insulting his opponents’ mental acuity, doing it almost daily while Biden was still running against him. >>
The mentally retarded author just unwittingly just proved Trump’s point.
Going sissy hasn’t been working.
At some point “conservatives” are going to have to start calling spades spades.
When someone can expend as many words as Harris does without saying anything remotely intelligible, one certainly does wonder...
oldie but goodie...

“People don’t believe that there are a lot of stupid lawyers, but you can believe it — there are.
And Harris is a good example of one.”
Harris graduated law school in 1989 and sat for California’s July 1989 bar exam. She failed. Per a contemporary article, 81.4% of her law school classmates passed, meaning she was in the 18.6% that failed.

If the American people wanted a president who was in the dumbest 1/5th of their class, they could have elected John McCain years ago.
“had to pay Melania a huge defamation settlement for calling her a hooker.”
XD XD... that’s funny, I hadn’t heard that.
In this case, Melania is not a hooker. For Kamala, a case could certainly be made that based on video evidence her IQ may be near the clinical definition of retarded.
THEY TRIED TO ASSASSINATE HIM. TWICE! He gets a pass from me on anything he calls her.
I’m not seeing the problem.
Additionally, this is anti-Trump DM. C’mon, man.
Damn the dicks in the “media mafia” sure are busy nitpicking. Like digging boogers and eating them.
