    The headline is that Trump called Harris “beautiful”, but the actual context was “the most beautiful actress”. I think he was attempting to imply that she isn’t qualified for the job at all, and is simply acting the part.

      This is just garden variety sexism. But it’s so out of place in 2024 that people aren’t going to understand it.

      This guy is a fucking fossil. I bet this worked great back when he was 50, and hanging out with a bunch of other old white guys.

      He was 50 back in 1996. The fucking nineties. Vote this geriatric, senile douchebag off his soap box.
