Republican nominee claims Harris is threat to democracy in recording of top-dollar fundraiser in Colorado in August

Donald Trump unleashed a foul-mouthed tirade about undocumented immigrants and predicted that this “could be the last election we ever have” if Kamala Harris wins during a private fundraising dinner this summer.

The Guardian obtained a 12-minute recording of a speech that the Republican presidential nominee gave at a dinner on 10 August in Aspen, Colorado, where attendees were required to donate anywhere from $25,000 to $500,000 a couple.

Trump devoted most of his address to border security and immigration, recycling xenophobic claims now familiar from his rallies. “Radical leftwing lunatics” want people to come in from prisons, mental institutions and insane asylums, he asserted without evidence, adding that the US was harbouring “a record number of terrorists”.

    I’d hazard a guess he always uses the royal we, I haven’t analyzed it in depth but he really can’t think outside himself. No imagination what so ever,all his attacks are just whatever he does or thought of (well maybe some aides helped). I imagine if I knew more about narcissism it’d tie in there but I have zero studying to comment on that.

    If he wasn’t such an asshole with zero self awareness, it’d be enough to pity him, but he is so fuck Trump.

    For more evidence of the royal we just look at when he was president and insert Trump anytime he says the United States. Not directed at who I replied to but to other readers.

      Yes exactly. In his mind Trump = America. There is no separation. Americans are super close to having a king again 😬
