Trump's scare tactics about Biden and Harris could backfire -- Meanwhile in America
American presidential candidates have been branded through the ages as pimps, crooks, accessories to rape and murder, drunks and even likened to a "hideous hermaphrodite." But until now, no one has accused their rival of plotting to "hurt God" -- as the hardly devout President Donald Trump claims of Joe Biden.
Sure, the US presidency is powerful, but quite how the Roman Catholic who wears his faith on his sleeve would go about wounding the Almighty is unclear. The charge does however show Trump's increasing desperation to destroy Biden.
The front-running Democrat wants to "take away your guns, destroy your Second Amendment, no religion, no anything. Hurt the Bible, hurt God. He's against God, he's against guns," Trump ranted last week. In not so much a dog whistle as full throated racial scaremongering, he's warning "the suburban housewife" — like some 1950s patriarch — that Biden wants low income neighbors (read: people of color) — to move in.
Trump has now turned his ire on Biden's new running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris, suggesting with typical racial and gender allusions that she's "angry," the "meanest" senator, and "a mad woman."

But Trump's increasingly absurd caricatures may backfire. His grandfatherly opponent's record is rich in vulnerabilities after 50 years in Washington, but Biden is no extremist. And during her assured debut on the Biden ticket, Harris didn't look mad or angry — quite the reverse.
