Trump Freaks Out About Harris’s Media Attention in Unhinged Rant

Donald Trump can’t seem to handle sharing the limelight with his Democratic opponent.The Republican presidential nominee is still obsessing about Vice President Kamala Harris’s media appearances more than a week after she lured millions of Americans to CBS with her traditional preelection 60 Minutes interview—something that Trump practically chickened out of over the network’s intent to fact-check.“I’ve done 60 Minutes many times, even back in the good ol’ days when Journalism was respected and legit, but I have never seen a very poor answer being REPLACED by another, totally unrelated answer, in order to save the person great personal and professional embarrassment,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Tuesday morning, referring to an instance in which the legacy show appeared to edit one of her answers on Israel. “What 60 Minutes did in doing this was Election Interference and Fraud. It is the worst and most blatant scandal in Broadcast History, and will not be soon forgotten. Just watch!”A few hours before, very late Monday night, Trump attempted to rewrite recent history in another portion of his digital tirade. He claimed that Harris had rejected a potential second presidential debate when, in truth, Trump aggressively backed out of going toe-to-toe with the vice president again after his disastrous performance in the first round—something that alarmed Republican donors.But Trump’s rant featured some definitively weird turns, as well. In a post made past midnight, Trump claimed that Harris had made “desperate requests” for his medical records, specifically about his cholesterol, which he promised was “flawless.” He then proceeded to argue that he had, in turn, seen Harris’s health report.“However, I have just seen Kamala’s Report,” he wrote, “and it is not good. According to her Doctor’s Report, she suffers from ‘urticaria,’ defined as ‘a rash of round, red welts on the skin that itch intensely, sometimes with dangerous swelling.’ She also has ‘allergic rhinitis and allergic conjunctivitis,’ a very messy and dangerous situation,” Trump wrote about Harris’s allergies.But of course, the MAGA politico couldn’t let the mention slip without circling back to the prime-time interview Harris got under her belt that he couldn’t bring himself to do.“These are deeply serious conditions that clearly impact her functioning,” Trump said. “Maybe that is why she can’t answer even the simplest of questions asked by 60 Minutes, and others. What is this all about? I don’t have these problems.”

Donald Trump can’t seem to handle sharing the limelight with his Democratic opponent.
