the hidden smackdown in "Believe me, I know Donald Trump's type!" [View all]

I don't know who is writing speeches for Kamala Harris or whether she is doing this largely herself, but the smackdown punchline of "Believe me, I know Donald Trump's type." is very strong. Coupled with a look that is priceless and the roar of the crowd.

Behind the straight ahead Perpetrator - Prosecutor metaphor that is played so well, doesn't this do one other thing?



In the world of sexual predation that Donald Trump is so familiar with, "she's not my type" is a line he often uses to try to disassociate from women he had been involved with. Or just to categorize them in general.

With this line, Kamala Harris basically alters the roles of predation. She is predator and he is prey.
She "knows his type".
That is the twist that is really extra delicious.

This is one savvy candidate and long may she show this to the world.
And kick ass.
And win with us this election and our freedom from Trump and our liberties and our rights and a much better life and world for all of us.
