Trump campaign hits below the belt
The Free Press Journal|August 30, 2024
The Donald Trump presidential campaign on Wednesday hit a new low when the former president posted a flurry of vulgar and sexist comments on his Democratic Party rival Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton, drawing howls of protests.

The national and local media termed Trump's comments as 'unprintable'.

The first was a crude remark which suggested Harris had traded sexual favours to help her political career. Another post, by a user on Trump's social-media website, depicted an image of Harris and Hillary Clinton, Trump's opponent in 2016. The text read: "Funny how blowjobs impacted both their careers differently..." The remark was a loaded reference to former President Bill Clinton's Monica Lewinsky scandal and the right-wing contention that Harris’s romantic relationship with Willie Brown, the former mayor of San Francisco whom she dated in the mid1990s while he was speaker of the California State Assembly, fueled her political rise.

While Harris brushed off the comments saying “Trump is out of his mind”, the former president promised more such sex-laced comments which he said will be run on political steroids.
