Former President Donald Trump has taken to labeling Vice President Kamala Harris as a “low IQ” individual, a title that seems to fit into his ongoing rivalry with the current administration. Over the weekend, Trump unleashed a flurry of posts on Truth Social, where he did not hold back in showcasing his thoughts on Harris’s intelligence—or lack thereof. Beyond his typical rhetorical flair, he managed to sprinkle in some “evidence,” which, if nothing else, had a hint of wit about it.
The backdrop for this latest feud is the increasing tension over their upcoming presidential debate. Harris, with her usual penchant for cozying up to the left, seems to prefer an appearance on ABC News—one of the finer establishments in liberal media. Trump, on the other hand, stands firm on the principle that if there’s going to be a debate, it better be on Fox News. He has reportedly issued Harris an ultimatum: agree to Fox, or they’re just going to sit around twiddling their thumbs. Whether the vice president is ready to take up the gauntlet remains a mystery, but one thing is certain: she’s not calling the shots here.

In his social media tirade, Trump didn’t just make vague allegations; he pointed out Harris’s refusal to engage in interviews. It turns out, there’s a method to her madness—she can’t seem to string two sentences together without relying on a teleprompter. It’s like she’s the human version of a computer that freezes when you ask it to run a simple program. Trump criticized the apparent lack of spontaneous remarks from Harris, suggesting her absence from the interview circuit speaks volumes about her capabilities—or the lack thereof. Interestingly, her recent attempt at unscripted commentary came across as more of a diplomatic word salad than a statement with substance, which couldn’t have bolstered her case.
Further illustrating his point, Trump invited the American public to sympathize with the notion that Harris, armed with her “extraordinary” take on diplomacy, would have to face off against world leaders who aren’t exactly known for their polite conversation. The confidence inspiring stance she recently took was far from reassuring, raising red flags about her preparedness to deal with adversaries such as China and Russia. Surely, the odds of Harris effectively managing such high-stakes talks seem bleak, especially when one considers her track record.
In his bombastic style, Trump juxtaposed Harris with “Sleepy Joe,” alleging that both represent a deep well of incompetence that threatens American greatness. With a flair for the dramatic, he pointed out that the nation’s ability to stand tall on the global stage is at risk with individuals of “low caliber intellect” wielding power. The whole exchange, while humorous on the surface, reflects a deeper concern among conservatives: do these leaders have what it takes to navigate the murky waters of international relations?
To silence her critics, Harris could easily take to the stage with Trump—or even better, engage in an unscripted interview—proving that she’s not just a figure with a fancy title. Yet, according to Trump, the likelihood of such a showdown is about as slim as a snowball’s chance in July. The stage is set, the challenge is laid down, and now it’s a waiting game to see if Harris will muster the courage to step up and actually defend her record—or if she’ll continue down the path of strategic silence.
