Trump called Kamala Harris even more incompetent than Biden
In an interview with Elon Musk, U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump remarked that his Democratic rival, Kamala Harris, is even more incompetent than Joe Biden.
Trump commented that while Biden and Harris still have several months left in office, they will accomplish nothing significant.
When asked about the recent suicide attack, Trump praised the Secret Service for their professional response, a belief that has only strengthened since the incident.
During the interview, Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur and owner of the social networking site X, inadvertently caused the platform to crash.
According to XCount, 1.3 million people tuned in to the 45-minute interview with Trump.
About 40 minutes in, the platform began experiencing issues, and by the 45-minute mark, it crashed due to overwhelming traffic.
Trump took the situation in stride, congratulating Musk on the success of the interview.
