By Paul Tamburro Donald Trump has called his presidential rival Kamala Harris “a beautiful woman,” comparing her to his wife Melania Trump. Trump made the comment in an X (formerly Twitter) Spaces conversation with Elon Musk. Referring to Kamala appearing on the front cover of Time Magazine, Trump said: “Actually, she looked very much like our great First Lady, Melania.
” Elon laughed and agreed, before Trump continued: “She didn’t look like Camilla, but of course she’s a beautiful woman, so we’ll leave it at that.” Listeners pointed out that Trump likely pronounced “Kamala” incorrectly when referring to “Camilla.” The moment has since gone viral, with the odd exchange being clipped and reposted on X by listeners.
Trump says he saw Kamala Harris today on Time Magazine. He says she looked beautiful but then says it was drawing. He then says she looked like Melania Trump.

Unfortunately for Musk, the stream was plagued with technical issues, starting over 40 minutes later than its scheduled time. Musk claimed that the problems were the result of a “massive DDoS attack” on X’s servers. The hour-long conversation saw Musk show his support for Trump’s presidential campaign.
The pair have had a tumultuous relationship, though Musk is reportedly in the process of donating $45 million per month.
