Donald Trump has said China's leader would handle Kamala Harris "like a baby" if she's elected to the White House.
"If somehow Kamala wins, she'd have to deal with Xi Jinping," conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt said of the Chinese president on Thursday. "How would he handle her?"
Trump replied, "Like a baby. He'd take all the candy away very quickly.
“She wouldn't have any idea what happened. It would be like a grand chess master playing a beginner."
The comments marked a return of Trump’s frequent jibes about his political opponents, dating back to his first presidential run in 2016, when he slammed "Low Energy" Jeb Bush, the former governor of Florida, and "Little" Marco Rubio, the Florida senator.
It is the latest line of insults against Harris, with Trump also previously calling her “lazy,” a “stupid person”, asking whether she is “on drugs” and saying she has a “low IQ”.
In a later rally in Tempe Arizona on Thursday, the former president criticised Harris' handling of immigration.
He accused her of perpetrating "a wicked betrayal of America" and having "orchestrated the most egregious betrayal that any leader in American history has ever inflicted upon our people”.
Then during an evening event in Las Vegas, Trump compared Harris to "a vulture" in the way he characterised her approach to tax increases.
"Even after Kamala wrecked your economy with inflation, she came after you with tip income, like sort of like a vulture would do," he said. "If she gets four more years, Kamala Harris will pick your pockets."
But Harris has offered her own share of insults against Trump, calling him "increasingly unhinged and unstable."
During a CNN town hall on Wednesday she also called Trump a "fascist."
At a rally in Georgia on Thursday, she was joined by rock legend Bruce Springsteen, who also dubbed Trump a would-be “tyrant”.
“I want a president who reveres the constitution, who does not threaten but wants to protect and guide our great democracy,” he said. “Who believes in the rule of law and the peaceful transfer of power, who will fight for a woman’s right to choose, and who wants to create a middle-class economy that will serve all our citizens.”
The rally at James R Hallford Stadium in Clarkston, Georgia, drew about 20,000 people, according to the Harris-Walz campaign, which would make it her largest political rally yet.
