Kamala needs to do a quick

podium appearance and demand trump apologize to our veterans. She needs to refer to him as Donald, to drive home it's a personal request (on behalf of veterans) , and not about politics. I think this would be powerful, and force him to rightfully give an apology. If he does or says anything other it's nothing but a huge dagger for his campaign.

"I'm speaking" is one of her most powerful statements. Trump will ignore it, at his PERIL. Women are listening.

Thank you again Madame Vice President.

but I think it would align veterans with Kamala and show that she does care for them.

and again at the debate with Vance. Demand an apology.

Today - keep the focus on the economic platform.

if someone paid him several million dollars. Even then it would be the most half-assed, non-apology apology ever.

Fuck him and that dead ferret on his head.

He's doing the work of Harris's campaign for them. Outside of his cult of similarly damaged psychopaths who agree with his shit, his mouth is the political gift that keeps on giving.

She’s got this and it’s not our place to say what she should or should not do.

Eddit to add:

Perhaps the demands should be made by the media, if they ever grew a pair.

By not responding she:

Rises above it and makes him even angrier by ignoring him.

She keeps the news about her, not about him.

And Trump will just continue to chop himself up into tiny rotten pieces.

It's more sublime when he does it all by himself, veterans will come around and condemn him, just watch.

Trump’s ideal setup would be to have Harris reacting to his statements and antics. Anything to keep the focus on him.
She just needs to keep focusing on her campaign, and let the surrogates and media highlight Trump’s insanity.
