Donald Trump spent part of his Monday attacking President Joe Biden, Vice President and likely Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, and the media.

The former president fired off a series of messages from shortly before midnight until a little bit after, including one where he attacked Harris for having “absolutely terrible pole numbers against a fine and brilliant young man named DONALD J. TRUMP!”

The “young man” named Trump is 78, making him nearly 19 years older than Harris. With Biden leaving the race before accepting the nomination, Trump is the oldest presidential candidate from a major party in U.S. history.

It’s also likely the former president meant poll numbers rather than “pole numbers.”

Trump has been workshopping attacks on Harris, but seems to be running out of ideas. He has previously called her “Laffin’ Kamala,” but since that hasn’t picked up any traction is now experimenting with “Lyin’” instead.

Just one problem: “Lyin’” ― with the apostrophe instead of the “g” ― was also his nickname for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) during the 2016 primaries. Trump at that time also attacked Cruz’s wife and father. Cruz responded by turning into one of Trump’s most devoted supporters.
