Kamala Harris Taunts Trump At Debate With What World Leaders Really Think Of Him

In one of several moments during the ABC News presidential debate Tuesday night, Vice President Kamala Harris got under Donald Trump’s skin by telling her Republican opponent that the former president is considered a joke to world leaders.

After Trump made it clear he still refuses to accept that he lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden, Harris said that the United States cannot afford to have a president who will continue to try to “upend the will of the voters in a free and fair election.”

“I have traveled the world as vice president of the United States, and world leaders are laughing at Donald Trump,” the Democratic nominee said while facing her opponent. “I have talked with military leaders, some of whom worked with you, and they say you’re a disgrace.”

“And when you then talk in this way in a presidential debate and deny what over and over again are court cases you have lost ― because you did, in fact, lose that election ― it leads one to believe that perhaps we do not have, in the candidate to my right, the temperament or the ability to not be confused about fact,” she said. “That’s deeply troubling, and the American people deserve better.”
