1. The following are excerpts from a news report dated August 12, 2020 under the headline "Surprised that Biden picked Kamala Harris as running mate, says Trump".

(Begin excerpts)
U.S. President Donald Trump has said he is surprised that his Democratic Party challenger for the presidential elections Joe Biden has named Indian-origin Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate despite knowing how nasty and disrespectful she has been to him.

Biden on Tuesday named Harris as his Vice-Presidential running mate. Harris, 55, whose father is an African from Jamaica and mother an Indian, is currently the U.S. Senator from California.

She ended up at right around two per cent,” Trump told reporters at a White House news conference. “She had a lot of things happening and so I was a little surprised that he (Biden) picked her. I’ve been watching her for a long time, and I was a little surprised,” Trump said soon after Biden announced that he has picked Harris as his running mate....

She is the first person of color to be selected on a vice presidential candidate and also only the fourth women and first ever African American and Indian American to be running for the second highest political position in the country.

Responding to questions, Trump said that Harris has been nasty to Biden. “As far as Kamala is concerned, she’s a big tax raiser. She’s a big slasher of funds for our military.

3. The brothel owner Dennis Hof, who took a leaf out of Trump's book to release a book, The Art of the Pimp, in March 2015, became a "Trump Republican" in December 2016. Maybe the White House incumbent, who released his book, The Art of the Deal, on 1 November 1987, should be inspired by Hof’s incredible posthumous election victory to replace his running mate with a dead Republican because “a dead Republican beats a female Democrat any day”.
