Republican nominee claims Harris is threat to democracy in recording of top-dollar fundraiser in Colorado in August

Donald Trump unleashed a foul-mouthed tirade about undocumented immigrants and predicted that this “could be the last election we ever have” if Kamala Harris wins during a private fundraising dinner this summer.

The Guardian obtained a 12-minute recording of a speech that the Republican presidential nominee gave at a dinner on 10 August in Aspen, Colorado, where attendees were required to donate anywhere from $25,000 to $500,000 a couple.

Trump devoted most of his address to border security and immigration, recycling xenophobic claims now familiar from his rallies. “Radical leftwing lunatics” want people to come in from prisons, mental institutions and insane asylums, he asserted without evidence, adding that the US was harbouring “a record number of terrorists”.

    Because you wanted to learn about it, so you did.

    Donald Trump doesn’t want to learn about anything that doesn’t affect him personally, so he won’t put in the effort to educate himself. Also his narcissism won’t let him believe that there’s anything he isn’t already the most knowledgeable person about.

      I agree he doesnt care to learn, but I also wonder if that’s because he finds it so difficult.

      He ain’t bright.
