Kamala Harris criticizes the Trump administration while promoting her new memoir, sharing a surprising comment from Trump in a private conversation. Learn more about her candid remarks and reflections on her 2024 campaign.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris has ignited a wave of discussion after she took a strong stand against the Trump administration during her book tour. In an emotional appearance at the Day of Unreasonable Conversation summit on October 6, 2025, Harris made headlines by referring to Trump and his team with a strong expletive. Her comments, which came after sharing a surprising private conversation with Donald Trump, have since gone viral.
Harris’ Candid Remarks at the Summit
While promoting her new political memoir, 107 Days, Harris shared insights from her 2024 Presidential campaign and expressed her candid thoughts about the current political landscape. 107 Days explores the aftermath of her failed campaign, which came about after Joe Biden withdrew from the race. The book has already been described as one of the bestselling memoirs of the 2020s, offering a postmortem of Harris’s journey through a tumultuous campaign against Donald Trump.
During the summit in Los Angeles, Harris addressed the crowd with an impassioned speech. “We are living history right now, and you all storytellers are living this,” she said, urging the audience to capture the emotions and experiences of this moment in time. However, her comments took a sharp turn when she turned her attention to the current political scene. “These merfers are crazy!” she declared, a statement that sent the audience into applause and cheers. Her statement about the Trump administration drew widespread attention, and she even added, “I call this ‘The Freedom Tour,’” after the applause died down.
The Surprising Comment from Trump
As part of her book tour, Harris has been sharing personal anecdotes from her political career, including a surprising comment made by Donald Trump during a private phone call in 2024. Following an attempted assassination on Trump’s life, which had occurred in September of that year, the two leaders reportedly spoke. According to Harris, Trump told her, “How do I say bad things about you now? I’m going to tone it down. I will. You’re going to see.”
Harris also claims that Trump told her that his daughter, Ivanka Trump, was a “big fan” of hers, a remark that many found unexpected given the contentious nature of their political rivalry.
A Difficult Election Loss
In addition to her thoughts on the Trump administration, Harris also reflected on her experience during the 2024 Election Night. “I kept saying over and over again, ‘My God, my God,’” she recalled. “I had never felt that level of pain and grief except when my mother died. I was grieving for the country. I knew what was going to happen.”
Despite the heavy loss, Harris remains a force in American politics, and her memoir has given her the opportunity to revisit those emotional moments while sharing her reflections on the political climate and the future of democracy in the United States.
Censorship Concerns in Hollywood
Harris also touched on broader issues in the political and entertainment world, discussing her concerns about growing censorship, particularly in Hollywood. She referenced Jimmy Kimmel’s temporary suspension after his comments on conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s death, sharing her thoughts on the risks of speaking truth in today’s society. “Every person has to make that decision for themselves, right? But there will always be risk associated with speaking truth,” she said.
Conclusion
Kamala Harris’s 107 Days offers a deep dive into the emotional and political struggles that defined her 2024 campaign. Her candid reflections, including the surprising private exchange with Donald Trump, provide readers with a unique glimpse into her personal and professional journey.
As Harris continues her book tour, her powerful remarks on the Trump administration and current political issues have sparked further conversations about the future of American politics.
