At a dinner he was hosting for billionaire donors at Trump Tower in New York City, former president and current presidential candidate Donald Trump reportedly referred to his opponent in this year’s election, Kamala Harris, with one of the most disgusting slurs imaginable.
According to the New York Times, Trump was hosting a dinner for billionaire donors in the penthouse of his Trump Tower suite when he allegedly called Harris the r-word while speaking at the gathering.
WTF?!?!
That outlet reported over the weekend that the dinner in question took place two weeks ago — on Sunday night, September 29. There, former Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, hedge fund manager Paul Singer, investment banker Warren Stevens, and billionaire Joe Ricketts were apparently among those in attendance when Trump made the despicable remark.

Per the NYT, Trump allegedly lashed out with that completely inappropriate r-word reference during a rant about how his donors didn’t seem to appreciate him. He was attempting to convince more Republican donors to put more money into his presidential campaign, and was apparently mad that they weren’t doing so. And somehow, while angry that Democrats have been financially backing Harris to the hilt, the convo wrapped around to a jaw-dropping slur about Kamala. Huh?! Make it make sense…
As the donors looked on, Trump reportedly ranted about how his administration’s tax policy was far more favorable to them than anything that would be put forth by Harris and the Democrats. (Which is true, TBH. Trump loooooves helping out his billionaire buddies!) Thus, he wanted them to thank him by adding more cash to his campaign to match the major fundraising hauls Harris has gotten in recent weeks.
Those fundraising asks are whatever — just the normal way of the political world in this day and age. But again, how the f**k did he go from begging for dough to using the r-word to refer to Joe Biden‘s current Vice President??? Unhinged behavior!!
Then again, this certainly isn’t the first time Trump has gone too far. Back in late September, during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, the former Apprentice star publicly took aim at Kamala’s mental acuity, too. As he ranted and raved on stage in front of his adoring fans, Trump publicly insulted Harris by calling her “mentally impaired.” Which is also totally inappropriate! Just stick to the issues, dude. Seriously!
Ugh. It’s all just too much. Reactions, y’all?? Share ’em in the comments (below)…
