Donald Trump posts scathing message about Kamala Harris after she exposed surprising comments he made to her in private
Donald Trump lashed out at Kamala Harris after she spoke about him during her appearance on The View to promote her new memoir 107 Days. The book talks about the short but intense period when she was running for president. During the interview, Harris did not hold back. She called Trump a “con man” and suggested that the 2024 election was a very close contest, something she said defined the race and the way people saw the results.
Trump did not stay quiet for long. He turned to his Truth Social platform, where he often shares his unfiltered thoughts, and posted a long and angry message aimed directly at Harris. Interestingly, he didn’t spend much time denying or even addressing her calling him a con man. Instead, what really seemed to hit a nerve was her description of the 2024 election as close. In his usual style of writing with lots of capital letters and dramatic language, Trump fired back, calling Harris “dumb as a rock” and insisting that the election had not been close at all.
He laid out what he described as proof of his supposed “landslide” victory. Trump pointed to the electoral college results, which gave him 312 votes compared to Harris’ 226, and he emphasized how many counties he had won across the country. He boasted about sweeping all of the key swing states, describing each one as a landslide. He even repeated a claim he has made before, saying that California’s mail-in ballots were rigged but that despite this, he had still won the popular vote “by millions.” He compared his win to George W. Bush’s extremely narrow victory in 2000, trying to argue that other elections were truly close but his was not.
Trump’s post ended with him demanding an apology from Harris. He accused her of spreading lies just like the rest of the Democratic Party, saying her “closest in the 21st century” remark was nothing more than a talking point designed to mislead the public. He signed off his rant almost as if it were an official statement, thanking people for their attention as though it were a formal matter.
But the numbers show a different side of the story. While Trump’s electoral college victory was secure and gave him breathing room, the margins that delivered him those key swing states were very slim. In Michigan, he only won by about 1.4 percent of the vote. In Wisconsin, it was less than a single percentage point, just 0.9 percent. In Georgia, his margin was 2.2 percent. These are hardly the wide gaps one would associate with a landslide. They were tight enough that each state could have swung the other way if just a small number of voters had changed their minds.
So while Trump’s overall electoral count may look strong on paper, the truth is that the road to victory was narrow and fragile. It took a series of very thin wins in critical battleground states to secure his place in the White House. Harris pointing this out touched on something Trump has always been sensitive about: the perception of his wins. He prefers to present himself as dominating, unbeatable, and massively popular, but the fine print of the election data tells a more complicated story, one where luck, timing, and razor-thin margins played a bigger role than he wants to admit.
