Trump sits down with popular comedian Theo Von, slams Kamala: ‘Borders are bad, world is blowing up’

August 21, 2024 | | Print Article

Former President Donald Trump tore into Vice President Kamala Harris during an appearance Tuesday on comedian Theo Von’s podcast.

“She’s the worst vice president ever,” he began. “He’s [President Joe Biden] the worst president ever. Deadly combination. And we have a country where the borders are bad, where the world is blowing up — you look at Israel, you look at Ukraine, you look at all the different things that are happening — and she has no clue.”

“And you know what I say about her? Why don’t you do it? You know, she complains about everything. She’s been there for 3 1/2 years. Why didn’t you do it? Why didn’t you fix it? You could fix it right now. Don’t do whatever you’re doing. And she won’t talk to you, and she won’t talk to anybody. She won’t be interviewed,” he added.

He doubled, tripled, and quadrupled down throughout the interview.

“She’s a disaster,” he said at one point. “She’s the worst vice president. It’s the worst administration in the history of our country, and she’s a part of it.”

He also went after Harris for lying about him.

“People in politics, many of them, not all of them, are really liars,”  he said. “She made up a series of lots of different taxes, that Trump’s going to charge you on clothing, he’s going to charge you on this, on that. And actually, she’s the one.”

“Your taxes are going to go up by four times. And if the Trump tax cuts — because I got the largest tax cuts ever — but they expire soon. She has to be able to do something about it, and she’s unwilling and incapable,” he added.

At one point during the back-and-forth exchange, Von noted to Trump that “it’s pretty clear that the establishment doesn’t like you.”

The former president responded by correctly noting that, although the establishment doesn’t care for him, the people do.

“Well, I think the people like me because we’re leading now in all the polls,” he said. “We’re leading in Rasmussen. Rasmussen is a very highly regarded pollster, and we’re leading by five points. Others also. But I think the people like me a lot. So we won in 2016, and then we did much better in 2020. We got millions and millions more votes.”

Von then asked him why the “establishment keeps trying to sink you — what it is they’re so afraid of?”

“In some cases, the things we’re talking about right now,” Trump replied. “They want to sell products that I’m not interested in. They want to have certain boats and certain chips and certain planes and certain everything bought. Hharma is another one that’s interesting.”

“Do they push back against you, you think?” Von then pressed.

“Yeah, I do,” Trump responded. “Yeah, I think it’s pretty obvious that they do. In one way, that’s a positive thing politically because when you can show that they push back, the voters seem to like it. But we have a lot of popularity. We have a lot of people that want to see me come back and win because we had a great time. We had the greatest economy in history when I was president.”

“We had the best job numbers — African American, Hispanic American, Asian American, women, men, everybody. We did a lot of good things. We cut taxes more than anybody else, including Ronald Reagan. We cut regulations, which created jobs. We had a great period of time, and I think the people want it back,” he added.
