Donald Trump isn’t one to flatter his Democratic rival Kamala Harris, but he tried his own way… by comparing her Time magazine cover to that of his wife Melania.
On Monday night, Trump, the Republican presidential candidate, gave a wide-ranging interview to billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk on X Spaces.
Waiting for your permission to upload Instagram media.
After working out some technical issues, their conversation began, with Trump eventually complimenting Kamala on making the cover of Time on Monday with the headline “Her Time.”
Trump told Musk: “She looks like the most beautiful actress that ever lived. It was a drawing and, in fact, she looked a lot like a great first lady, Melania.”

He added: “She didn’t look like Camilla [sic] but, of course, she’s a beautiful woman, so let’s leave it.”
Pretty bizarre language from 45, who usually hurts his opponents with cutting words.
In the interview, Trump attacked Harris, accusing her of being what he considers a radical left-wing liberal.
Trump also harshly criticized Harris for not giving interviews since the vice president replaced President Joe Biden as the Democratic ticket leader, calling her rise a “coup.”
As you know, Biden withdrew from the 2024 race for the White House after his party pressured him following his poor performance in the debate against Trump. Kamala quickly took over the reins without being challenged in a primary.
