In a recent interview with Fox News Digital, political analyst Constantine discussed Vice President Kamala Harris’s strategy during a debate with former President Donald Trump, revealing how she successfully targeted his weaknesses. According to Constantine, Harris used specific tactics to provoke Trump, particularly focusing on issues like the size of his rally crowds — a topic Trump is known to be sensitive about.
“He fell for every one of her games; they were all tactics,” Constantine explained. “So when she would poke the bear, he would growl back, and she would keep poking, especially when it came to the crowds.”
During the exchange, Harris mentioned that attendees at Trump’s rallies often leave early due to exhaustion and boredom. Trump quickly fired back, claiming his rallies set attendance records, while accusing Harris of busing in supporters and paying them to attend her events.
Constantine noted that instead of staying focused on the debate and addressing the core issues, Trump got sidetracked by defending himself and retaliating against Harris. This defensive approach, Constantine suggests, played to his detriment.
“You could see that Trump was getting really, really upset about it,” Constantine added. “At one point, he dropped his shoulders, dropped his head, and he sunk. And then you see his upper lip move upward very quickly. It was a micro-expression of leakage — hatred, disgust, and scorn… he was really angry at her for saying that.”
Constantine’s analysis highlights how Harris’s strategy of needling Trump over his perceived insecurities effectively threw him off balance, resulting in a debate performance that showed visible frustration.
