After roasting Democrats, including the absent Democrat nominee Kamala Harris, at a Catholic charity event in New York City Thursday night, former President Donald Trump joined Fox & Friends onset for a live interview Friday morning.
Harris opted to skip out on the 79th Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner, becoming the first presidential candidate in 40 years to miss the annual charity event.
“I think it was terrible that she missed it because… only one person missed it in many years and that’s Walter Mondale and he lost 49-1,” Trump said.
“I think that she’s not competent. I don’t want to say this kind of stuff, but we can’t live with this… I don’t think she’s funny. Look… 5% of her staff stayed with her. 95% quit — If that happened to me, I’d be on the front page of every… Nobody likes her. Nobody wants to be with her. We can’t have her as a President. She’s a Marxist,” Trump said.

Commenting on Democrats’ claims that he is a “threat to Democracy” and that he’s “unstable,” Trump said, “They are a threat to democracy. These people are misinformation people… they’ve tried many different things… such as ‘he’s a dictator, he’s going to take over the world.’ Every week they try something else.”
“I am the most stable human being. I’ve been doing this for a long time. We had four years of greatness. We had the greatest economy in history. We had the greatest border,” Trump said.

However, he noted that he hasn’t looked into the details of the allegations against Adams.
