Amidst the spectacle of the debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and ex-President Donald Trump, it was glaringly evident that Harris lacked the candor and decisiveness characteristic of true leadership. Her apparent attempts to appear knowledgeable stood beneath the critical scrutiny, while Trump, despite being older, displayed unwavering firmness.
One can’t help but notice Harris’s deflection when confronted with pertinent issues, a stark contrast to Trump who stood his ground despite the challenging circumstances. Some of her claims, bordering on absurdity, did not fail to bemuse the audience.
A rather peculiar portion of her argument revolved around her outrageously imagining illegal immigrants posing threat to American household pets. This ill-conceived notion not only showcased her distorted view but also betrayed a lack of understanding around a complex issue.
Furthermore, her pride in associating with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy seemed more like a desperate boast, glossing over the fact that their relationship was not based on mutual respect but seemed twisted by potential favor-seeking.
The most outrageous dodge of the night came when Trump pointed out the issue of illegal immigration at the southern border. Harris, instead of addressing the concern, evaded answering and instead accused Trump of not enacting a bipartisan bill pertaining to the problem.
Harris’s blatant disregard for measures which were meant to secure the southern border echoed the same sentiment she and Joe Biden have been notoriously known for, a stark turn away from public safety and sovereignty.
Yet, in a startling display of hypocrisy, she criticized Trump for simply pointing out the horrifying facts of the situation Beeing grounded in reality is not vilifying, it’s voicing concerns for the well-being of the nation.
Questioning Trump’s attempt to ensure fair immigration norms by going against a unconstructive legislation showed Harris’s patronizing approach. To ignore that Trump was, dually, vilified by Biden and Harris for rightfully attending to the problem of illegal immigration was highly telling on their part.
Harris’s convoluted understanding of presidential duties became clear when she misconstrued the concept of public service. The President’s primary role is to ensure the best interests of American citizens which Trump has undeniably strived for, a far cry from catering primarily to political self-interests.
Yet, Harris and Biden’s propaganda seemed to particularly revolve around smearing Trump’s re-election aspirations, branding them as a mere tactic to evade hypothetical criminal proceedings. A perspective only validated by their unwarranted vilification and blatant dismissal of any of his accomplishments or efforts.
The spectacle of the debate highlighted the widening chasm of understanding between Harris and a seasoned leader like Trump. A true President aims to serve the greater good of the public, not paint a distorted image of reality.
Hence, the art of service, as exhibited by ex-President Trump, stands in stark contrast to the self-absorbed propaganda forwarded by Harris and Biden. The debate, therefore, became another spectacle that pit firm leadership against disparaging and misguided rhetoric.
In conclusion, the encounter revealed more about the depth of the characters on stage. On one side was Trump, unyielding and grounded, on the other, a Vice President all too concerned with painting her opponents negatively, whilst disregarding the nation. Harris’s performance, under scrutiny, failed to convince us of a leadership focused on the collective interests of the American community.
