What Donald Trump Should Be Careful Of In Debate With Kamala Harris — RT World News

Mark your calendars, ladies and gentlemen, Kamala Harris has done something extraordinary. She has become the only candidate in half a century to become the presidential nominee without winning a single primary vote. Biden’s addiction obtained enough delegate votes in the virtual roll call process to become the official Democratic nominee. Interesting how no winning votes had a strange way of getting this extremely unqualified woman a little closer to the Oval Office.

But the shock and awe doesn’t stop there, so be advised to sit down. The absolutely, positively 100% legitimate corporate media monstrosity with its bloody hand on its heart reports: Harris is now more popular than Joe Biden or Donald Trump were at any point in the 2024 election cycle.

Yes, a Morning Consult poll of 11,538 registered voters between July 26 and 28 found that 50 percent have a favorable opinion of the incumbent vice president, while 46 percent have an unfavorable opinion. According to the pollster, “Harris’s 4-point net favorability rating is a higher rating than either Biden or Trump’s across the cycle.”

Does anyone really believe this, other than those people who would prefer to see Donald Duck, for example, as commander-in-chief instead of Donald J. Trump?

Incidentally, let’s not forget that this is the same unbelievable, overhyped candidate who had her presidential dreams (temporarily) demolished in less than five minutes by a tenacious Tulsi Gabbard during the 2020 Democratic primary debates. The problem, however, had nothing to do with the deeply unpleasant darling of the Deep State, of course, but rather with a little problem known in the political world as cash flow, the main grease responsible for putting the most despicable people in positions of power over the years.

As CNBC reported shortly after the debate fiasco, “[w]With Harris trailing former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, among others, some of Harris’s top funders have struggled to convince members of their networks to write checks to her campaign. In some cases, many of her supporters have told the campaign they will not host events for her.

Now, just four lackluster years later, with no serious signature project to call her own, money is no longer an issue for Black and Asian-American Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party’s definitive DEI hire. Harris’s campaign announced over the weekend that it had raised $310 million in July, more than double Trump’s haul last month, making a strong case for the obvious: For whatever reason, the money and media machine is spinning at warp speed to the political left, as it has for time immemorial, and woe betide anyone who thinks it has anything to do with power-hungry vultures perched on Capitol Hill, waiting for their next feeding time.

And this is where Trump has every reason to be suspicious of media merchants – even if they are the ones notorious traitors on Fox News – as she acts as a ‘neutral’ referee in the upcoming debates. As proof, as if proof were needed, here’s something Harris, not some AI-generated body double, said a few days ago at a rally:

“Donald Trump doesn’t care about border security; he only cares about himself,” the invisible border tsar told a crowd of devoted supporters. “And when I’m president, I’m going to really work to solve the problem.”

The fact that Kamala Harris is able to say such inanities without any reaction or laughter shows that the media is truly manipulating the American people and is not playing fair with Trump.

But in the perennial struggle against the forces of the left-wing media, Trump has a knack for being his own personal Darth Vader, largely because of his willingness to speak his mind, and occasionally the truth, no matter who it hurts. In a less idiotic era, this would have been known and welcomed as candor.

Consider, for example, the extremely hostile interview the former president gave during a National Association of Black Journalists conference last week.

“I have known her for a long time, indirectly,” Trump said in relation to his political opponent. “And she was always of Indian descent, and she was just promoting Indian descent. I didn’t know she was black until a few years ago when she became black, and now she wants to be known as black.”

“I respect either one,” he added, “but she obviously didn’t, because she was Indian all along, and then all of a sudden she made a change and… she became black… Someone should look into that too.”

“Is she Indian or black?” he asked completely unfazed, despite the whistles from the crowd.

In these maddeningly diverse times, this isn’t the first time a politician has been called out for not being Native American, Black, Redwood, or whatever. In 2019, Senator Elizabeth Warren went through the embarrassment of a DNA test to prove that she was, as many had suspected all along, a very white Democrat from Massachusetts and not a member of the Cherokee Nation. The race issue, however, wasn’t so obvious when it came to Harris. Here, Trump gave his opponent—and the obnoxious media—an unnecessary box of free ammunition by questioning Harris’s black identity while the wagons rolled around. And as fun as it would be to pursue the line that Harris hid 50 percent of her racial lineage for most of her life, that would be a misrepresentation of the facts.

Harris, 59, is the daughter of a Jamaican father and an Indian mother — both legal immigrants. And although her parents went their separate ways when Harris was just seven, and she moved in with her mother, it did not alienate her from black culture.

According to a report in The Wall Street Journal, she was raised in a predominantly black neighborhood in Berkeley, California, because, she says, “Her mother believed her daughters would one day be seen as black women and wanted them to have strong role models around them.”

Harris attended Howard University, a historically black institution in Washington, D.C., and is a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha, a black sorority.

Needless to say, the White House was very amused by Trump’s reckless foray into such foreign affairs.

“What he just said, what you just read to me, is repulsive, it’s an insult,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said. “No one has the right to tell someone who they are, how they identify.”

While it’s questionable whether Trump was actually telling Harris who she was, how millions of black Americans will interpret Trump’s comments is another matter. Regardless, he’s set himself up for what could be a very uncomfortable—even disastrous—exchange with Harris, who, as a far less gifted orator than The Donald, will seize any opportunity to play the victim card. And Trump may have just unwittingly handed her the ace of spades.

In addition to the racial card, Trump will also enter the lion’s den as a climate change denier “convicted criminal,” misogynist and an anti-abortion advocate – colorful little phrases that Harris certainly remembers by heart.

Whatever the outcome of this tragicomedy, expect plenty of whining and lecturing from the (check) black (check) Indian (check) candidate as she tries to portray herself as the deserving underdog in a white man’s game.
