Xi will treat Harris ‘like a baby’ if she becomes President, says Trump-Read

Accuses Harris of orchestrating the most egregious betrayal that any leader in American history has ever inflicted upon our people

Washington: Donald Trump said that China’s leader would handle Vice President Kamala Harris “like a baby” if she’s elected to the White House, as the former President and his top allies increasingly have moved to infantilise the Democratic nominee.

“If somehow Kamala wins, she’d have to deal with Xi Jinping,” conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt said of the Chinese President. “How would he handle her?” Trump replied, “Like a baby.” “He’d take all the candy away very quickly,” Trump continued. “She wouldn’t have any idea what happened. It would be like a grand chess master playing a beginner.”

The former president, who has escalated his already dark and inflammatory rhetoric in the race’s final stretch, spoke at a rally later Thursday in Tempe, Arizona, where he criticised Harris’ handling of immigration. He accused Harris of perpetrating “a wicked betrayal of America” and having “orchestrated the most egregious betrayal that any leader in American history has ever inflicted upon our people,” even though crime is down.

During an evening event in Las Vegas, Trump compared Harris to “a vulture” in the way he characterised her approach to tax increases. “Even after Kamala wrecked your economy with inflation, she came after you with tip income, like sort of like a vulture would do,” Trump said.

“If she gets four more years, Kamala Harris will pick your pockets.” Harris has offered her own share of insults against Trump, calling him “increasingly unhinged and unstable.” During a CNN town hall Wednesday she also called Trump a “fascist.” She was set to join a rally Thursday night in the Atlanta suburbs with former President Barack Obama and musician Bruce Springsteen.
