Donald Trump said President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were “nice” when they checked up on him after an apparent assassination attempt at his Florida golf course on Sunday. (Watch the videos below.) But the Republican nominee abruptly pivoted to campaigning and criticizing the two.
He also also mispronounced Harris’ name again, saying Ka- ma- la while referring to his election opponent by first name only. Speaking at a town hall in Flint, Michigan, on Tuesday, Trump recounted cordial, concerned calls from Biden on Monday and from Harris earlier that day. “It was very nice and we appreciate that,” the former president said .
“But we have to take back our country and we have to win. We’re going to win. And we’re going to make America great again.

” “And the same with Kamala today. She could not have been nicer,” Trump added. “But the fact is we have to have people that are respected by the opponent.
” "But, you know, in one way I sort of wish the call wasn't made." Trump wishes President Biden didn't call him after threats on his life were made because he disagrees with him. There is no way this man is serious about toning down the rhetoric.

Harris revealed that in her phone call she also told Trump, as she has said publicly, that there was “ no place for political violence in this country .” Trump has been blaming Harris, Biden and other Democrats for the attempts on his life because they say the former president, who fraudulently tried to overturn a fair election and inspired a coup attempt, is a “threat to democracy.” Consider supporting HuffPost starting at $2 to help us provide free, quality journalism that puts people first.
