President Trump on Friday said he would support seeing a female president within the U. S., but quickly added that it shouldn't be Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.).
Trump mocked Harris over her poor
performance within the Democratic presidential primary during a campaign rally
in New Hampshire.
"And this is able to be your
president, possibly? I do not think so. I do not think so," Trump told a
raucous crowd. "You know, I would like to ascertain the primary woman
president also, but I do not want to ascertain a lady president get into that
position the way she'd roll in the hay, and she's not competent."
"They're all saying 'we want
Ivanka,'" Trump added, motioning to the gang and eliciting loud cheers.
"I don't blame them."
Harris is that the first woman of color
nominated to a serious party's presidential ticket. She attacked Trump each day
earlier over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, saying he failed at his
basic duty of keeping Americans safe.
Trump has frequently attacked the senator
since she was named’ to the Democratic ticket earlier this month. He has
regularly derided her as "nasty," complaining about her tough
questioning of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during Senate Judiciary
Committee hearings and citing her criticisms of Joe Biden during the 2019
Democratic debates.
He also entertained a false and racist
conspiracy theory about her eligibility for the vice presidency after it had
been first raised during a Newsweek op-ed.
Trump's dismissal of Harris as a possible
future president follows the Republican National Convention, where multiple
speakers sought to melt Trump's image and make inroads with female voters, who
polls show favor Biden.
