Last week will undoubtedly be etched into the annals of Presidential campaign history. The Democratic National Convention, marked by a conspicuous absence of substantive policy discussions and an aggressive push for abortion rights, seemed to offer little more than a relentless barrage of anti-Trump rhetoric.
It was striking how, on the first night alone, former President Trump’s name was mentioned 147 times, while President Biden's was uttered only twice during the entirety of the RNC. This stark contrast highlights a fundamental issue: the Democrats appear to lack a coherent message or vision beyond sensational and inflammatory attacks on Trump. This raises the question—are they deflecting from their own failures, such as the catastrophic border situation or the soaring inflation rate, which stands at a staggering 20%, not the 2.2% they would have us believe?
The reality is that the Democrats face a significant challenge in distancing Vice President Kamala Harris from her troubling “America Last” record, and instead of addressing this head-on, they seem to rely on deflection.
It's no secret that politicians often pivot when pressed by the media. However, the national press seems particularly "eager" to repackage and reintroduce Vice President Harris as a fresh face, creating an environment of complacency among the mainstream media.
In contrast, President Trump’s campaign for a return to the White House continues to gain momentum and unify diverse segments of the electorate. Unity was a promise made by President Biden in 2020, yet his tenure has seen increased division, with his administration even weaponizing the government against political opponents.
Enter President Trump, leading a coalition so broad that it’s impossible to ignore. Who would have imagined that a member of one of the most powerful political families in U.S. history would join his unity ticket?
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s decision to drop out of his race and endorse President Trump is an unprecedented move that has left many puzzled.
A Kennedy—once a symbol of the Democratic dynasty—has now allied himself with Trump, rejecting the Socialist and Marxist elements that have hijacked the Democratic Party. When we speak of unity, let there be no confusion—the real unity is emanating from the Trump campaign, one that welcomes people of all backgrounds, even those who previously likened him to Hitler.
The Democrats are slowly realizing that a campaign based solely on hating one individual cannot succeed, yet they persist in this approach. The DNC’s big takeaway seems to be an attempt to capitalize on the emotional moment when Tim Walz’s 17-year-old son, visibly moved, was seen on stage with his father.
The internet's rush to mock this young man is a disheartening display of immaturity, especially given the historical precedent of shielding the minor children of political figures from such attacks.
The Democrats are now condemning this ridicule, framing it as cruel given the young man’s non-verbal learning disability. As someone with a personal connection to this issue—my six-year-old niece shares the same condition—I am deeply disturbed by these attacks.
However, it’s important to remember that Democrats were not so compassionate when it came to Barron Trump, who faced relentless speculation and mockery, with figures like Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar making unfounded claims about his behavior.
The question remains: will the Democrats continue to ride this distraction for the next two and a half months or so, or will they confront the reality that they have little more than a plagiarized "No Tax on Tips" policy to offer—a policy lifted directly from President Trump’s platform?
This election season is far from over, and it is increasingly exhausting. Yet, here we are, trying to make sense of it all as politicians flood the airwaves with their messages, driving the American people to the brink of madness.
