'Particularly risky' Trump strategy casts cloud over his electability: New York Times

As election day looms closer and closer, Donald Trump has ramped up his attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris while sinking lower and lower with the type of attacks he is deploying against his Democratic opponent which, in turn, is raising questions whether he going too far or has already reached that point. According to a report from the New York Times, the former president is running a "particularly risky" strategy of attacks that could come back to haunt him with voters due to the growing coarseness of his rhetoric and his use of degrading memes of Harris on his Truth Social account. As the Times reports, "Trump has found a particularly complicated and risky target for his trademark brand of transgression" that could turn off even more women voters that could complicate his re-election hopes." With both major parties battling for female and moderate swing-state voters, Mr. Trump could potentially alienate an undecided audience uncomfortable with his coarse rhetoric." Of note are the terms the former president is using to go after his opponent, which have included, "wack job, "communist," “dumb as a rock," “real garbage," “a bum," and, as the Times is reporting, "employing a phrase he applies almost exclusively to women, 'nasty.'"
