Right now, just days before the election, there are two pressing questions for Democrats...
They say that the truth is the first casualty of war. Maybe yes. It is undoubtedly the first victim of the Democratic press coverage of Donald Trump when he is running for president.
"Trump Escalates Violent Rhetoric, Calls for LizCheney to be Shot."
Lord. Did he really do that? No, not at all. But CNN wants you to think so, and they're happy to bring out rabid NeverTrumpers like JonahGoldberg to attack the bad orange man for threatening Cheney, one of the former's most outspoken critics. the president.
The problem is that the full video of Trump's appearance with Tucker Carlson pretty much shows him warning that Liz Cheney, like her father, is a war hawk who would gladly send "10,000 troops" to fight and to die for a futile war.
Investor and recent Trump convert BillAckman has taken stock of the misrepresentations the media has spread about Trump. Take the baseless claim that he said the white supremacists who attended a 2017 rally were "very nice people." The liberal press had a day of celebration with this one. Unfortunately for The Narrative, Trump did not call white supremacists and neo-Nazis "very good people." He said they should be "punished in full".
A comedian at Trump's Madison SquareGarden rally last week referred to Puerto Rico as a "floating island of trash." The liberal media tried to use the remark as well, even though Trump wasn't even in the building when the bad joke was made.
That didn't stop Joe Biden from describing Trump supporters as "scum." Trump's response was swift, funny and politically devastating for the Harris campaign.
Trump had a garbage truck crash into his plane in Green Bay, Wisconsin. He exited the plane wearing a neon orange and yellow maintenance vest. He then climbed into the cab of the truck where he conducted a brief interview before leaving for his rally, where he performed wearing a vest. The crowd loved it. So did the friend who followed him by car.
In 2016, Hillary Clinton's claim that half of Trump's supporters belonged to a "bunch of wretched people" helped her lose the election.
Harris' campaign team must be concerned that calling Trump supporters "scum" could have the same effect, because the White House tried to modify Biden's remark by slyly making "supporters" plural, in a single supporter by means of an apostrophe, “supporter.” The potentially illegal change in the official transcript was noted, however, causing quite a laugh along the way.
Experts are divided on whether calling Trump supporters "scum" is worse than calling Trump and his supporters "fascists" and (as Hillary Clinton put it) "a clear and present danger" to "our democracy". However, there is general agreement that none of the epithets are complimentary.
At this moment, just a few days before the elections, there are two urgent questions.
One is, how desperate must the propaganda press working for Harris be to blunder while covering the Madison Square Garden rally by announcing that "Trump's MSG Rally Comes 85 Years After Pro-Nazi Rally at Famous Arena" ?
The second question concerns the issue of "democracy". Harris says to "protect democracy" we should make him president.
But remember that she is not a candidate.
In July, when the Democrats realized that Joe Biden was slipping far behind Donald Trump, they somehow managed to oust Joe, the Democratic nominee, and insert Kamala Harris, who no one had voted.
Among other things, those stunts showed that Democrats were happy, in the name of "protecting democracy," to destroy it. As I have often observed, when they talk about "our democracy", what they mean is "their oligarchy".
What will happen when Trump wins on Tuesday?
First, the memo from above that was issued after the 2020 election explaining that it was unpatriotic and possibly illegal to complain about the outcome will eventually be rescinded. In its place will be a restoration of the 2016 memo describing how complaining about election results you don't like is your patriotic duty. Expect marches, protests, loud screams and other such dubious attractions. /The Telegraph
