Days after claiming "entitlement" to make personal attacks on his rival Kamala Harris, the former US president Donald Trump upped the ante a notch to take the attack one step further. The Republican candidate on Saturday belittled Kamala Harris featuring in the cover of Time Magazine and said he was "much better looking" to make the cut. The former president who has come under fire from rank and files of the GOP for personal attacks against Harris and not staying on line, yet again resorted to the same.
At a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, he claimed that Time had unsuccessfully tried to photograph Harris, and that the magazine had no pictures to use of her. “Time magazine doesn’t have a picture of her,” he said. “They took a lot of pictures that didn't work out so they hired a sketch artist.
And I said, ‘Is that Sophia Loren? Who might that be? Is that Elizabeth Taylor? Oh, they must be celebrating the great life and times of the magnificently beautiful Sophia Loren.’ “I am much better looking than her,” Trump said to jeers from the crowd . However, this isn't the first time Donald Trump has harped on this theme .
Earlier in the week he had also compared the Time image to “our great first lady Melania.” Trump hit out at at Vice President Harris' economic policy before calling himself "better looking". The attack also comes on the back of Republicans urging him t0 stay away from personal attacks and the former claiming to be "entitled" to personal attac.
