Trump switches from economic remarks to personal insults at Pennsylvania rally

As he attacked Democrats for inflation, he asked his crowd of supporters: “You don’t mind if I go off teleprompter for a second, do you? Joe Biden hates her"

Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump speaks at a campaign rally at the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. 

Donald Trump has again sought to deliver a campaign message focused on the economy, but the Republican repeatedly swerved into non-sequiturs and personal attacks, including twice declaring he was better looking than Democratic rival Kamala Harris.

The former president switched back and forth between hitting his points on economic policy and delivering insults and impressions of President Joe Biden and French leader Emmanuel Macron as he held a rally in north-eastern Pennsylvania.
