Americans Can’t Stop Laughing After Trump Says He’s Hotter Than Kamala Harris, ‘Delusional, Deranged, and Psychotic!’

If you're talking about your looks, the rally's over.

There is plenty that gets said at any given political rally — not just one party or another — that can be chalked up to hyperbole. Would-be lawmakers make wild promises, pat themselves on the back for imagined victories, basically pretend they invented fire to keep their constituents warm.

But there has to be a line, right? There have to be some things that you just recognize as, you know, a grown-up, that are just to silly to say.

Donald Trump walks that line all day long, every day.

At his most recent rally, Trump called Kamala Harris every name in the book. He trotted out all of his favorite nicknames for his political enemies. He claimed persecution at every turn.

And he said he was hotter than Kamala.

Okay, so for now, we’re gonna set aside the plain fact that Kamala is hands-down the most attractive person ever to get the presidential nomination of a major political party.

The point of this article is to recruit you into an elite circle of voters that makes their decisions based on ability, not looks.

Like grown-ups.

Okay, I’m done setting aside that HUGE aside from before. We’re not talking about “hotness.” We’ve never had a “hot” presidential candidate. Even the arguably most attractive man to run for president on a major ticket, JFK, was still a kind of awkward ginger with a weird accent.

Barack Obama can only be called a fluke, honestly, because he was the magical mix of looks, charisma, intelligence, and historical timing that any political party can only ever dream of. There wasn’t ever a moment when anyone but Mitt Romney thought Barack Obama wasn’t going to win the presidency

But, and hear me out here, I think despite the fact that obviously attractiveness is subjective, we can all agree on one thing. Donald Trump has both the countenance and demeanor of an angry orangutan.

That’s what makes his little jab at Kamala in Pennsylvania so hard to swallow.

Trump claimed that he’d read a statement by a Republican commentator declaring that Kamala had an edge on Trump in the area: “She said, Kamala has one big advantage, that she’s a very beautiful woman.”

He could have just let that lie there. Unspoken even in THAT comment is the idea that all Harris has going for her is her looks. It plays right back in to the whole “slept her way to the top” nonsense the GOP’s been trying to peddle since Joe Biden dropped out and endorsed his VP.

But he absolutely HAD to follow it up. His ego wouldn’t let him stop at just a sexist insult, he had to make it about himself.

“I say that I am much better looking than her. I think I’m… Much better… I’m a better-looking person than Kamala. No, I couldn’t believe it, she said, you know, I had never heard that one. They said no, her biggest advantage is that she’s a beautiful woman, I’m going, ‘Huh. I never thought of that.’ I’m better looking than she is.”

One online newsman, Ben Meiselas of MeidasTouch.com, said “It’s not hyperbolic saying he is actually psychotic.”

Another X user with a tremendous following outlined the difference between the campaign messaging of Harris and Trump:

Watch Trump’s idiotic statement here, but grab some tissues, because you’re about to die laughing.

People on Twitter had a field day:
