Donald Trump lasted about two minutes into Vice President Kamala Harris’ nomination acceptance speech before launching into a full-blown public unraveling.
Moments after Harris took the stage Thursday at the Democratic National Convention, it became clear that the former president — and her 2024 opponent — was glued to the television in a hate-watch for the ages.
“Here she comes into the Arena,” was the first of around furious 50 posts in a Truth Social meltdown that began when Harris entered the United Center in Chicago, Illinois, and continued long after she left the stage.
Notable reactions to Harris’ statements included:
“IS SHE TALKING ABOUT ME?”
“A lot of talk about childhood, we’ve got to get to the Border, Inflation, and Crime!”
“Walz was an ASSISTANT Coach, not a COACH.”
“Too many ‘Thank yous,’ too rapidly said, what’s going on with her?”
“She caused the Attack of October 7th.”
The former president was especially apoplectic about Harris’ description of he and his allies’ expansive plans to restrict reproductive rights. Harris said Trump “would limit access to birth control, ban medication abortion, and enact a nationwide abortion ban, with or without Congress.” She added that Trump “plans to create a national anti-abortion coordinator and force states to report on women’s miscarriages and abortions.”
“Simply put, they are out of their minds,” Harris concluded. “One must ask: why exactly, is it that they don’t trust women?”
Harris was describing components of Project 2025, the conservative personnel and policy program created to help the next GOP president (read: Trump) quickly impose a far-right agenda.
Trump has actively tried to run away from the project in recent months, because its plans poll terribly. He was not pleased with being tied once again to its proposals.
“I do not limit access to birth control … THAT IS A LIE, these are all false stories that she’s making up, that I’ve never even heard of. It’s just words coming out of her mouth,” Trump posted. “I TRUST WOMEN, ALSO, AND I WILL KEEP WOMEN SAFE! SHE WON’T, BECAUSE THE INVASION OF OUR COUNTRY AT HER OPEN BORDER IS DESTROYING THE LIVES OF WOMEN, AND THE FAMILIES AND JOBS OF AFRICAN AMERICANS AND HISPANICS.”
Trump only stopped posting in order to call into Fox News, where he raged at anchors Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. When MacCallum pointed out that Harris was gaining in several polls and key demographics, Trump countered that “she’s not having success. I’m having success.”
“I’m doing great with the Hispanic voters, I’m doing great with Black men, I’m doing great with women because women want safety,” Trump countered. “They don’t have safety when they have somebody allowing 20 million people into our country.”
“No, it’s only in your eyes that they have that, Martha,” the former president griped.
Throughout the phone call, the former president seemed so flustered that he repeatedly — accidentally — pressed the buttons on his phone, cutting off his statement with a chorus of beeps.
The hosts eventually cut him off, ostensibly because it was time for a special edition of Fox’s cringiest show: Gutfeld!
Trump, however, was nowhere near done, and within minutes was calling into Newsmax’s live DNC coverage. There, the former president complained that Harris hadn’t addressed “woman trafficking” in her speech, and suggested he and the hosts take a trip to Caracas, Venezuela.
He was still accidentally jamming the buttons on his phone during the call.
“He is uhh, he’s a very special man,” host Greg Kelly said when the former president finally hung up.
