Does Donald Trump Need to Reset?
Donald Trump has been a spectacular comet in American politics, the likes of which have never been seen. Most everyone, admirers and critics alike, is drawn to watch his bright light streak across the sky.
In 2016, the veteran showman, rookie politician, and frequent Democrat donor had no business ousting 16 others, all career Republicans, to capture that party’s presidential nomination.
And the brash, often crude, candidate had even less business tapping into the boiling discontent of the Heartland to defy polling that year to defeat the GOP establishment, the Deep State, media, and Hillary Clinton. They thought she was perfectly positioned and widely expected to inherit her husband’s Oval Office throne and become the first female commander in chief.
So shocked was Clinton with the historic upset that she literally lost her ability to speak on Election Night.
So shocked and enraged were her party’s puzzled politicians — and those hidden allied forces whose influence was severely threatened by the unorthodox outsider — that they’ve spent the past eight years plotting in innumerous subversive and legal ways to eliminate the Donald Trump who lives rent-free in their minds.
So far, unsuccessfully.
This historic marathon campaign has shown Americans very eager to vote. Despite an assassination attempt, Trump was coasting to a second term against a mentally baffled Joe Biden.
Then Democrats, who’d claimed the president was sharp as a tack, simply dumped the old man as no longer politically useful, not because he was a genuine, shuffling threat to national security, which he was and is.
They dumped him because they accurately sensed losing their grip on political power, which is the most important reason for being in that moldering swamp of Washington.
Once again, without thought for the nation’s welfare or anything beyond grasping power, that party’s geriatric oligarchy, led by an even more ancient Nancy Pelosi, discarded the expressed wishes of 14 million gullible party primary voters.
And those party old-timers installed, instead, the most marketable political persona at hand, Kamala Harris.
She has all the attributes necessary for success in a modern U.S. political campaign that is brd on sounds and appearances and nothing resembling substance.
Harris seems a fresh face, a woman of color with immigrant parents, 22 years younger than the old guy and 19 years younger than her GOP opponent. She’s a California liberal in the most extreme way possible, even donating bail money and campaigning to release rioters in other states.
Perhaps most importantly but intentionally hidden for now, Harris’ mind is an empty vacuum. She is mentally incapable of expressing an original thought, if she had one. Which she doesn’t. Like a chameleon, she melds into whatever political surroundings she’s in.
She’s a perfect-looking receptacle to enjoy the perqs of power in exchange for saying what the oligarchy tells her to say, even more loyally than the 81-year-old senile receptacle she replaces. And she can win with Trump’s help.
In a blinding instant, this craven political maneuver bizarrely turned the incumbent political party and its female figurehead into the agents of change in an election that’s perfectly suited for that after four years of disastrous policies from that very same Biden-Harris administration.
It’s like packaging an 0-17 NFL team as the Super Bowl champions. And media buys into it.
Here, according to the White House transcript, is what Harris read from her teleprompter unveiling the specifics of her Soviet-style price-control economic initiative Friday:
We will build what I call an “opportunity economy” -- (applause) -- “an opportunity economy” -- an economy where everyone can compete and have a real chance to succeed; everyone, regardless of who they are or where they start, has an opportunity to build wealth for themselves and their children; and where we remove the barriers to opportunity so anyone who wants to start a business or advance their career can access the tools and the resources that are necessary to do so. (Applause.)
An apparently shocked Harris, who lives with servants in government housing, shared a statistic with her North Carolina audience that shocked no one who buys their own foods:
A lo- -- a loaf of bread costs 50 percent more today than it did before the pandemic. Ground beef is up almost 50 percent.
According to Harris, everyone already knows the historically high rate of inflation during her time as Joe Biden’s vice president was caused by the pandemic. And not by flooding the country with $5 trillion in newly-printed money to cover their administration's wild spending.
“We all know that prices went up during the pandemic when the supply chains shut down and failed,” she continued reading.
If you’re confounded by this thinking and sudden turn of events, including the addition of Harris’ sidekick, fellow radical Tim Walz, imagine how it hit Donald Trump.
