“I want to congratulate Vladimir Putin,” Trump said.
“He released some of the biggest killers in the world,” Trump added.
“They caught some of the worst killers. And we got our people back, but we made some really terrible deals. And it’s nice to say we got them back, but will that set a bad precedent?”
“Harris has the most left-wing agenda of any presidential candidate in history,” the former president said after congratulating Putin.
“He’s considered even more left-wing than crazy Bernie Sanders. He’s even worse than Bernie.”
Taking the attack a step further and more personal, Trump continued to attack Vice President Kamala Harris with a ‘low IQ’ statement.
“She’s a woman with a really low IQ,” Trump said in his attack. “Her IQ is very low. We don’t need a woman with a low IQ.”
“President Xi of China said, ‘Well, we have another low-IQ guy,'” Trump said, taking a dig at Biden. “He loves dealing with people with low IQs, and he’s got them here. I’ll tell you, we’ve got them all.”
“He’s got a coup, he just doesn’t know it,” Trump said, mocking Biden’s alleged mental decline.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump announced he was withdrawing from the ABC News debate scheduled for September 10 and said he would only participate if the debate took place on Fox News six days earlier.
Harris strongly criticized the announcement and targeted Trump, saying that this is an attempt to avoid a fair confrontation. Trump announced on his social media platform Truth Social that the debate would have a “fully in-person audience” and that it would take place in Pennsylvania, a major battleground state.
Trump’s proposal echoes the format of his first debate with President Joe Biden. The second debate was originally planned to take place on ABC News on September 10, but Trump suggested moving it to Fox News, a network preferred by his supporters. Harris, who officially clinched the Democratic nomination on Friday, responded by reaffirming her commitment to the original debate date.
