Did you hear about what former President Donald Trump said at a rally in Howell, Michigan? He claimed that Kamala Harris is actually the President of the United States. In a tweet from Acyn, Trump’s statement was shown with a video clip where he said, “Kamala Harris is the President. She wants to be the President of the United States. She is Vice President, so she could do it…” This statement has caused a lot of controversy.

Trump made his comment about Kamala Harris being President during a talk about border security. He later corrected himself and said Harris is just the Vice President. However, his initial comment caused a lot of criticism and raised questions about his understanding of political facts.

The rally was held at the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office in Howell, a town with a history connected to the Ku Klux Klan. Many people think Trump chose this location to use the town’s controversial past for political gain. DeAdBuRgErKiNg™ aka DBK (@DeadBurgerKing) tweeted:

“Why come to HOWELL?! Of all places. Trump must be desperate and hoping to utilize the connections to the KKK my town sickenly supported. But that was YEARS ago… Maybe he’s hoping to rile up the remnants? If there are any… I HOPE not.”
His comments ended up distracting from the event’s main topic of “crime and safety” and instead focused attention on his troubling remarks. In response to the tweet, several notable replies emerged:

Armand Hamouth (@AreMond2): “Kamala Harris is the Vice President,” directly correcting Trump’s erroneous claim.

Dump Trumpism: Register and Vote for Change! (@Nto79549105): “That’s the sound of Trump’s defeat creeping in. He’s seen the data, and spoiler alert: it’s not looking good. He knows it, we know it—just waiting for him to admit it which will never happen. #GameOver #DataDoesntLie,” expressing the belief that Trump’s comments signal his waning political power.

Arthur (@ArthurBaitson): “Donald Trump is too old to run. He needs to step aside,” suggesting that Trump’s age and behavior make him unfit for the presidency.

Trump’s comment about Kamala Harris being President might seem like a one-time slip, but it shows a bigger problem with misinformation and confusion in his statements. This kind of talk isn’t just misleading; it adds to political chaos and division. After all, Kamala Harris is the Vice President, and she’s doing important work. Let’s give her contributions the attention they deserve without getting distracted by Trump’s mix-ups.
