Trump ‘offended’ by Russian President Putin’s support of Kamala Harris in US Elections 2024
Former president Donald Trump, on Saturday (September 7), said he was offended by Russian president Vladimir Putin’s endorsement of his Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump’s comments come after Putin, in a teasing comment earlier this week, said Russia wants Kamala Harris to win the U.S. presidential election and cited her “infectious” laugh as a reason to prefer her over Donald Trump. “He endorsed Kamala. I was very offended by that. I wonder why he endorsed Kamala. No, he’s a chess player,” Trump told supporters at a rally in Mosinee, Wisconsin, before questioning whether Putin made the remark “with a smile”. Putin made the ironic remark a day after the U.S. Justice Department charged two Russian media executives over an alleged illegal scheme to influence the November election with pro-Russian propaganda.
