Former President Donald Trump's rambling interview with Elon Musk touched on climate change, border security, foreign dictators and inflation.

But it was his apparent appreciation of "beautiful" Kamala Harris — and his comparison to his wife, Melania Trump — that left the internet with raised eyebrows.

During Trump's interview on X with tech billionaire Musk, the MAGA leader said his Democratic rival has received a "free ride" from the media so far.

"But I saw a picture of her on Time magazine today, she looks like the most beautiful actress ever to live," Trump said. "It was a drawing. And actually she looked very much like a great first lady: Melania. She didn't look like Camilla. That's right. But of course she's a beautiful woman. So we'll leave it at that."

The comment left the internet collectively cringed at the comment, including journalist Aaron Rupar, who called the recording "weird stuff!"

"I KNEW IT. His brain is short-circuiting because she is attractive AND formidable. lol he is toast," chided former FBI special agent and legal contributer Asha Rangappa.

She added that Trump "recognizes and is slightly scared of — and in a weird way, craves the approval of — strong, intelligent women," such as his former Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

"Some Mommy issues going on there," she added, noting that Trump equates attractive women with "'dumb' or weak," so he can "sexualize and exploit and dismiss."

"This is the point of the call where I say, 'Well, it's been great catching up grandpa, but I've got to go,' quipped Kelsie Taggart, digital media director at the left-leaning American Bridge PAC.

"Donald Trump mentions this Time magazine cover, says Kamala Harris looks like an actress in the illustration and then says she looks like … his wife, Melania Trump. ???" questioned Christopher Cadelago, Politico's California bureau chief, wrote on X, attaching a photo of the image.

"What??" questioned the Never-Trump account Republicans against Trump.

"Trump basically just said the drawing of Kamala on time magazine was hot and compared it to his wife Melania lol," laughed Jessica Burbank, of the More Perfect Union podcast.

A 72-year-old Colorado woman who stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021, will avoid jail time after a judge sentenced her to a year of probation and a $103,000 fine Monday, the Colorado Sun reports.

Rebecca Lavrenz, who took on the moniker “J6 Praying Grandma,” was convicted on four misdemeanor counts for entering the Capitol and disorderly conduct for participating in the insurrection, according to the Sun. Prosecutors initially pushed for Lavrenz to serve up to 10 months in prison for continuing to defend the insurrection, writing in a recent filing that “her unrepentant promotion of the riot is powerful evidence that she continues to pose a threat to future acts of political violence.”

The Colorado Sun noted that Lavrenz has raised more than $230,000 via online fundraisers by promoting her participation in the riot.
