At one of his rallies, Donald Trump declared:
>“And by the way, Kamala will not be your first,” Donald Trump pauses and there this audible booing from the crowd to Kamala’s name, “Female President. She will not be your first female President!”
As the crowd continues to boo Kamala, Trump continues:
>”It’s not the way it’s supposed to be, we’re not supposed to have a socialist.” Trump begins to motion his hands back and forth as he’s known to, “Look, we’re not gonna be a socialist nation, we’re not gonna have a socialist President, especially a female, socialist President. We’re not gonna have it, we’re not gonna put up with it. It’s not gonna happen.”
Edit: Changed the block quote to better match Trump’s wording.
