Trump: I'm more attractive than Harris

Donald Trump was supposed to focus on his economic policy when he held an election rally in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania on Saturday. But, as so often, the Republican presidential candidate deviated several times from his intended main topic and made personal attacks against his rival.

In the middle of a critical outburst about the previously high inflation, which Trump blames the Biden administration for, he stopped and asked the supporters on site if they would have anything against him deviating from his manuscript for a while.

Then followed several attacks against his rival in the presidential election, the Democrats' Kamala Harris. Among other things, Trump continued to paint a picture of Harris as merely a part of President Joe Biden's government and that she, during her time in the White House, did not do anything to stop the price increases that occurred in the wake of inflation.

Day one for Kamala Harris was three and a half years ago. So why didn't she do anything about it then? This is her 1,305th day.

He also attacked his opponent personally and noted, among other things, her laughter, something he has done several times before.

Another point he focused on was that a columnist at the Wall Street Journal had described Kamala Harris as beautiful.

I look much better than she does, said Trump.
