Trump's Crude Sexual Attacks on Harris Spark Republican Frustration Amid Poll Gains

[Social Media]

 

Donald Trump has once again found himself at the center of controversy after reposting a misogynistic comment about Vice President Kamala Harris on his Truth Social platform. The post, which revived his pattern of sexist behavior, drew criticism not only from Democrats but also from within his own party, where strategists have urged him to focus on key issues rather than personal attacks.

 

As recent polls show Harris gaining momentum, particularly among women voters, Trump chose to share a vulgar post that insinuated Harris’s political success was linked to sexual favors. The post, originally made by another user, featured photos of Harris alongside Hillary Clinton and commented, "Funny how blowjobs impacted both their careers differently…" The comment referenced rumors about Harris’s past relationship with Willie Brown, former mayor of San Francisco, while the mention of Clinton alluded to the Monica Lewinsky scandal that nearly ended Bill Clinton's presidency.

 

This isn’t the first time Trump has targeted Harris with lewd references. Earlier in August, he shared a video by the Dilley Meme Team, a rightwing group, which included a parody of Alanis Morissette’s song "Ironic," with the line, “She spent her whole damn life down on her knees,” accompanied by images of Harris, her husband Doug Emhoff, and Willie Brown.

 

The latest post was part of a series of extreme messages Trump shared on Wednesday, including endorsements of the QAnon conspiracy theory. He reposted, “WWG1WGA! RETRUTH IF YOU AGREE,” which is an acronym for the QAnon slogan, “where we go one, we go all.” Another post declared, “nothing can stop what is coming.” The FBI has identified theories like QAnon as potential threats that could incite domestic terrorism.

 

In addition to these posts, Trump shared manipulated images of Bill Gates, Anthony Fauci, Joe Biden, and Nancy Pelosi in prison garb, further stoking division.

 

The Harris campaign did not immediately respond to Trump’s latest social media outbursts. However, CNN host Anderson Cooper remarked that these posts took Trump’s campaigning to a “whole other level.” Cooper noted, “This is the Republican candidate for president and the 45th president of the United States, talking about two women who, no matter what you think of their politics, are two of the most accomplished women in American political history.”

 

As Trump’s online activity intensified, a new Reuters/Ipsos poll showed Harris leading Trump by four points nationwide, with a notable 13-point lead among women voters. Additionally, a Fox News survey indicated Harris was gaining support in crucial southern Sun Belt states, leading by slim margins in Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada, while Trump held a narrow lead in North Carolina.

 

Trump’s continued personal attacks have frustrated Republican strategists who have advised him to focus on issues like the economy, inflation, and immigration—topics they believe could resonate with swing voters. Jason Roe, a former executive director of the Michigan Republican Party, expressed the growing frustration within the GOP, stating, “I think people are incredibly frustrated. Harris’s campaign and policy stances give opportunities for the Trump campaign to talk about issues that actually will matter to swing voters. And rather than doing that, he’s delving into this nonsense.”

 

Stuart Stevens, a strategist for Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential bid and a member of the anti-Trump Lincoln Project, suggested that Trump’s approach could ultimately backfire, leading to a decisive victory for Harris. He told CNN, “There’s been a lot of talk—it’s sort of a universal truth—that this election is going to be close. I have a different opinion. I think it’ll be close till about October 20th, and then I think it’s going to be like Carter versus Reagan, that the bottom is going to start to drop out [of Trump’s campaign]. I think this is going to be a race that Democrats are going to win by more than Biden did.”

How very "Presidential" !

 

Add to this his calls for "military tribunals" to target people like Barack Obama and Liz Cheney simply because they criticized him, and it's time to toss that clown into the dustbin of history....plus Leavenworth.

If true, then she should be treated the same as Lewinsky and Clinton. I honestly can not see how she managed to stay in politics as it is. So perhaps there were other horny men promoting Harris for her other (uhh) skills. Certainly her positions were not given to her for her political abilities. 

[Skeptic7]

That grotesque thing referred to as "Trump" is a total trainwreck...uneducated, un-American, unappealing and uncouth bloviating buffoon. 

[proton]

As opposed to them referring to Trump as a rapist, mysoginist and racist for the past 8 years!

He can't help it. It is his only game. He is a very old dinosaur, and even polls, supporters, and advisors are warning him about doing this, he is incapable to listening or taking advice. He does not have it in him. 

 

Women make up the majority of the electorate, and both Trump and Vance are pushing them away. They are hurtling towards a historic loss. And the world will celebrate that. 

 

 

[bamnutsak]

Trump and Vance should stop re-posting ANYTHING.

 

And I'd say Trump needs to stay on issues. (As does Vance, all he does is attack, but he's toothless in that role.)

 

But based on his performance in Potterville, MI, billed as a speech on "Economic Policy" yesterday he seems unable to focus on anything for more than a few seconds. And he was sweating profusely. Thank god he can still use the teleprompter, sort of.

 

His mental decline is shockingly apparent. Maybe they have him on a new medication protocol? Or it's side-effects from the Ozempic? Whatever it is, it is not working.

What do you mean last 48 hours. Ive been guns blazing since i got here and im not going anywhere

[bendejo]

I'm waiting for his rally performances to include him biting the heads off of chickens. 

I saw him do the babbling lunatic earlier today, and for the press "yep, ol' T being T, and now the weekend weather . . . "  If Harris said the same thing the mediasphere would be on red alert.

That guy has got to be high.  Probably pharmaceutical, but DonJr can help out if necessary.  Vance has got to be on edibles, or micro-dosing yuppie style.

It doesn't matter who wins. Neither side will accept this election. I wonder if this is the last one!

He’s got to the point of telling the world ‘he’s doing the weave’.

Yeah so what, why all the outrage on this site given that many users here on AN are constantly delivering their misogynistic comments on a daily basis and laugh about it.

…a repost, such a silly thing to get worked up over. How about citing some policy differences as opposed to schoolyard nonsense.

Great way to get attention, just another day for him.

He wakes up in the middle of night, does his babble and forwarding stuff for an hour, goes back to sleep and them wakes up to the reactions.  See?  He's not completely stupid!

Nothing wrong with highlighting delinquent sexual behaviour. Especially when it assisted her up the greasy pole to her current position. 

 

They've thrown enough mud at him over the years.

Two wrongs don't make a right. Even if Trump has been the target of accusations in the past, that doesn't justify him perpetuating misogynistic remarks. Additionally, it's important to note that many of the accusations against Trump have been based on his own words and actions, rather than hearsay or unsubstantiated rumors.

This suggests that it's acceptable to speculate on someone's sexual behavior if it allegedly helped them achieve their current position. However, this is a harmful and misogynistic trope that is often used to discredit women in positions of power. Is that something about you that you like to portray - doesn't it say more about you that the subject?

This is known as the "third-grade" defense.
