Ivanka would be better candidate: Donald Trump

Kamala Harris is “not competent” to be president, US President Donald Trump has said.

Trump said he would support seeing a female president in the US but suggested that his daughter. And senior White House adviser Ivanka Trump would be a better candidate for such a role.

Harris, 55, was a presidential aspirant. Harris returned to politics after Joe Biden, picked her as his running mate in the November 3 election.

Harris is the first Indian-American born to a Jamaican father and an Indian mother. Harris is also first Black woman to be picked by a major American political party.

“You know I want to see the first woman president also, but I don’t want to see a woman president get into that position the way she’d do it, and she’s not competent,” Trump said. “She’s not competent,”. “They’re all saying, ‘we want Ivanka’. I don’t blame you,” he said responding to his supporters.

“How about her? Sheer beauty? What a beauty though. They pick a woman who starts off…She (Harris) starts off (her presidential campaign) sort of strong. She’s one of the favourites. Within a period of a few months, she goes down, down 15, 12, 11, nine, eight, five, three, two,” he said. He even marked the popularity downslide of Harris in the few months after her highly impressive campaign launch.

“Then she goes, I’m going to leave because I’ve decided that I want to leave. I want to leave. She left (the race of presidency) because she wouldn’t have gotten any votes. She was terrible. And this would be your president possibly. I don’t think so. I don’t think so,” Trump said.

“And of our foreign adversaries who are devising a plan to destroy the United States from within all they have to look, is that the Biden-Harris (ticket),” he said. Harris alleged that the president’s policies have been “a reckless disregard” for the danger a pandemic would pose to American lives.

She said Trump has “failed at the most basic and important job of a President of the United States. He failed to protect the American people”.

A tombstone remembering a Chinese soldier who died during the Galwan clash on June 15 circulated on Chinese social media platform Weibo seems to be the first possible proof of Chinese troops killed during uproar where 20 Indian soldiers lost their lives.

The image was shared on the military forum describing in detail about the tombstone of the soldier who has been identified as Chen Xiangrong.

Written in mandarin the epitaph reads, ‘Tomb of Chen Xiangro. Soldier of the 69316 troops, from Pingnan, Fujian who sacrificed his life in the struggle against India’s border troops in June 2020 and was posthumously remembered by the Central Military Commission.’

The Chinese PLA troops and Indian soldiers had confronted in a bloody face in Galwan valley on June 15 over former’s misadventures and alleged transgression in the area.

China has not made any official statement about the casualties in Galwan yet. While 20 Indian soldiers, including the commanding officer of the 16 Bihar infantry regiment Colonel B Santosh Babu, lost their lives in the PLA ambush.

Reports are there that the Chinese soldier who put a photo of the tomb has been sent to jail by the Xi Jinping government of China.

So far, there has been no reaction from the Chinese government or the Army on the validity of the alleged tombstone, whose picture has gone viral on social media.
