'Dumb as a rock Kamala Harris': News coverage of Biden's departure has Trump venting fury

Former President Donald Trump went into a tailspin Monday over news coverage of President Joe Biden’s announcement that he was dropping out of the presidential race and endorsing his vice president, Kamala Harris, to replace him.

Trump jumped on Truth Social to lambast the coverage.

He claimed the news networks were showing Biden as a “brilliant and heroic leader,” and that Harris was being built up to have the makings of a great president.

And yet Trump said that the reports were reinventing history.

“Wow, just watching the Fake News, and they’re doing their very best to turn the Worst President in the History of our Country into a “Brilliant and Heroic Leader” (He was heroic because he quit!), and to turn “Dumb as a Rock” Kamala Harris from a totally failed and insignificant Vice President into a future “Great” President," he wrote on Truth Social.

"No, it just doesn’t work that way!”

Many news networks, including the conservative Fox News, have reported a newly-energized Democratic Party largely uniting around Harris.
