Trump facing backlash for personal attacks on Harris

After 40 years of feeling unmotivated to vote, I finally registered—not because of political issues, but because I witnessed someone abuse their power and commit treason. I will always vote against terrorism in all its forms. If you want to debate this, take it up with the scholars who define these terms.

It’s deeply troubling to see politicians using racism or violence in their rhetoric. Such behavior undermines the principles of equality and respect that define our nation. It’s vital that we hold our leaders accountable for their words and actions. We should demand that those who promote hate or violence resign and ensure that our political landscape reflects true American values. Our leaders should be held to a higher standard, and we must work together to foster a more inclusive and respectful dialogue in our democracy.

Trump advocating a Purge-like scenario that’s insane. He’s obviously not fit to run a country.

Trump's modus operandi has always been childish personal insults. He's incapable of intelligence discussion of policy. Nothing new here.

Let Trump say whatever he wants, Let Kamala say whatever she wants it doesn't matter, We the people [Americans] are going to choose who we want as president on the final day.

America decides, what are they deciding about? Whether they want a dictator to ruin their lives or not I guess. Are you not sick of this guy and his abuse? Vote blue.

Every Trump supporter needs to watch the Frontline documentary on Harris and Trump. I believe they will finally understand that Trump’s image was always fictional. I honestly feel sorry for Trump. He was raised to never be a loser and when he finally lost… well, for those of us who have seen his election denialism and watched January 6th live, we now know what happens when he’s rejected.

MSS Santuary States should have to pay for this migrant situation we are in, even if it's 70 percent taxes. If you are a citizen who doesn't want to support immigrants fill out tax exempt form.

I say let DT go off script and say the trash he does. It shows the kind of person he is, and that is very unpopular. We don’t need a creep like that representing our great nation. 🇺🇸

All that Trumpty dumpty has left, is personal insults and racist dog whistles.

Who else is sick and tired of inane, juvenile, unhinged rhetoric from the Rep Pres candidate ? Surely they could have picked someone who had integrity, honesty, have their Ego under control and is not a convicted Felon ?
