Former President Donald Trump has denounced Vice President Kamala Harris’ nomination as the Democratic presidential candidate as “not fair,” escalating his rhetoric as new polls show Harris gaining substantial ground in key battleground states.

In a fiery statement on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump accused the Democratic Party of staging “the first ever ‘Coup’ in America.”

His outburst comes in the wake of President Joe Biden’s unexpected withdrawal from the 2024 race, which paved the way for Harris to become the Democratic nominee.

    I’m sorry to hear about that.

    Trump’s whole plan was to fix the pandemic with a vaccine. His idiot followers are anti-vaccine, though, and not even Trump could convince them otherwise.

    I do blame Trump for ignoring Fauci, discouraging mask-wearing, calling the virus a hoax at the beginning, and discouraging lockdowns. Oh, and holding rallies as usual, despite the risks.

    Operation Warp Speed was one of the few things he got right, but we lost a lot of people in the process.

      Thanks. They were already lost to me just by supporting Trump’s racist and other anti American rhetoric.

      I thought any decent president should have been vaccinated on live television and plastered all over their social media. Trump did it in secret and wouldn’t even admit it to his rabid followers. Maybe more of them would still be alive if he had.
