‘He’s Angry at Her and He Hates Her’: Trump’s Rants Grow More Delusional
Republican also claims he can win New York
Donald Trump’s campaign speeches have long been drifting into bizarre territory, talking as he has, about the fictional character Hannibal Lecter and being mauled by sharks.
But during a rally in President Biden’s hometown, Trump’s remarks became truly untethered to reality.
The former president and current Republican nominee held an event Wednesday in the battleground of Scranton, Pa. The Keystone State’s 19 electoral votes could well determine who prevails in next month’s election.
Trump has long railed against the fact that Vice President Kamala Harris replaced Biden at the head of the Democratic ticket in July — and the former president’s remarks Wednesday indicated that he remains angry that he’s no longer facing Biden.
Trump claims — as ever, without evidence — that Biden and Harris hate each other.
Trump even said that Biden is looking “sharper,” after denigrating the president for some kind of cognitive decline.
“He’s looking pretty good compared to Kamala, I say. Right? First time — I said, you know, this guy’s starting to look sharper. He’s starting to look sharper because we’re comparing — and he’s angry at her and he hates her,” Trump said. “The only question is, I think he hates her almost as much as he hates me. No. And I think he might be willing to — he can’t take much more. It was an overthrow, okay? It was an overthrow. And he’s having a hard time saying, you know, he did it voluntarily, he didn’t.”
Trump baselessly claimed that Harris or others somehow used the 25th Amendment to the US Constitution to engineer Biden’s withdrawal from the race.
“They pulled out — you know what they did, right? Article, what? 25. That’s what they did. And they said you’re sick, you’re not going to go on. He got 14 million votes. He got 14. Think of it. He got 14. She got none,” Trump said. “And this was really, this was an overthrow. This is the first overthrow. Or you could call it a coup. Do you want to call it a coup? This was the first coup in the history of America.”
And despite time growing short in the election — and lagging the Harris campaign in fundraising — Trump continues to not give up his fantasy that he can win his native state of New York this year.
Not only has he lost the Empire State in both of his previous presidential elections, no Republican has carried New York in the Electoral College since Ronald Reagan four decades ago.
“We just rented Madison Square Garden. We’re going to make a play. We’re going to make a play for New York. Hasn’t been done in a long time. It hasn’t been done in many decades. But we’re going to make — how could New York be run worse than it is, right? With all the problems, everything is corrupt in New York, and we’re going to make a play,” Trump said.
As he so often does now, Trump also just made up accusations about migrants.
“I mean, I think that, you know, the migrants, the migrants have taken over Madison Avenue. They’ve taken over 5th Avenue. They’ve taken over the parks. The kids can’t play Little League. You know, it sounds like a trivial thing. It’s a big deal when you have a son that’s a Little League player and he can’t play,” he said. “So we’re going to go Madison Square Garden.”
