Kamala Harris has not held back on her thoughts of President Donald Trump as she pulls back the hood of her presidential campaign.

As valiant as the former vice-president's intentions were, Harris ultimately fell at the final hurdle, as Trump won by a landslide - taking all seven swing states in the process.

Since then, the Democrat has been forced to watch on from the sidelines, giving her time to reflect on her short 107-day presidential campaign - writing a political memoir titled 107 Days, which she released on Tuesday last week (September 23).

While you'd imagine it would be written in a tactful and diplomatic way - which it is for a large part - she also hasn't held back in making it known how she and her campaign team think of the 79-year-old.

The 60-year-old wrote that as she prepped for her face-to-face debate with the Republican in September 2024, she was instructed that she should train for 'the painful matter of imagining what kinds of personal attacks Trump might mount against me'.

One of those narratives was posed by an advisor. They said: "He might ask you if you've ever had an abortion."

The former attorney writes how she came up with various responses she could ask on the back of that question, penning: "If he did, the response would be: That's none of your business and that's not what we're here for."

But not everyone in the room was pleased with the beige response, and instead proposed she flip it on Trump with an X-rated question.

"[Harris was told] that if he got that personal, I should ask if he took Viagra," the Californian wrote.

While another advisor suggested she take it further, with the question: "Had he ever paid for an abortion?"

The 79-year-old never posed the question - which she actually saw as a victory.

"In the end, he didn't go down that track. He probably knew a question like that would be exceedingly thin ice for him - and would infuriate just about every woman in America," Harris added.

Trump's presidential campaign against Harris was anything but clean, and while he didn't ask her the offensive question that they had prepped for, he had gone as far as questioning her ethnicity on his way to victory.

Speaking at the National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago - in July last year - he said: "I didn't know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black and now she wants to be known as Black."
