From claiming he doesn't know what race Vice President Kamala Harris identifies as, to nicknaming the 2024 Democratic nominee "Kamabla" — former President Donald Trump has yet to hold back on using racist tropes in an effort to intimidate his opponent.
On Tuesday, an X (formerly Twitter) account called Trump War Room — which calls itself "The Official War Room account of the 2024 Trump campaign" — posted a jab at Harris that many political experts deem outright racist.
The account published two side-by-side photos. One of a neighborhood featuring brick homes with pristine lawns, and American flags waving in the front yard, captioned: "Your neighborhood under Trump." The other photo consisted of Black and brown people sitting outside on the street, captioned: "Your neighborhood under Kamala." The words "Import the third world, become the third world," were also added to the post.
