Trump Denies Praising Kamala Harris as 'Tough, Smart Customer' in Private Phone Call

President Donald Trump rejected former Vice President Kamala Harris' claim in her new book that he privately praised her during a concession phone call, saying he was cordial but never described her as a 'tough, smart customer'. Trump's response comes after Harris wrote in her memoir that Trump told her she was 'one of the toughest, smartest customers I've ever worked with' on election night. Trump disputed this account, stating that their conversation was polite but never made such a positive remark about Harris. The dispute highlights ongoing tensions between the two former rivals.
