Former President Donald Trump made a bold claim about Vice President Kamala Harris recently. He suggested that if Harris becomes president, China's leader, Xi Jinping, would handle her like a baby. This comment occurred during an interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, who wondered how Xi would treat Harris.

Trump replied, "Like a baby. " He elaborated, saying Xi would quickly take away all the candy, leaving Harris clueless about what happened. It would be like a grand chess master playing against a beginner. Trump is known for his harsh words against opponents, often belittling women.

Harris, the first woman of color to lead a major-party ticket, has faced criticism from Trump, who has called her "lazy, " "stupid, " and "slow. " He even accused her of having a low IQ. Now, just weeks before the election, he's using personal, sometimes sexist, and child-referencing insults against her.

Trump's campaign didn't respond immediately to requests for comments on his remarks. At a later rally in Arizona, he criticized Harris's handling of immigration, calling it a "wicked betrayal of America. " Meanwhile, Harris has referred to Trump as "increasingly unhinged and unstable" and a "fascist. "

Some of Trump's allies use similar attack lines. For instance, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson suggested at a rally that Trump was ready to punish Harris, comparing her to a child needing discipline.
