On one hand, former President Donald Trump has remained consistent. Everywhere he has appeared in public for the last nine years, he has sounded like a New York City real estate developer who loves America and wants to restore its former greatness, only this time with peace and prosperity for all Americans. He has railed against open borders, idiotic trade deals, endless wars and a corrupt establishment. He has never changed.

Can't argue with that paragraph, because everywhere trump has appeared in public, he has sounded like the dumb, compulsive liar and grifter that he always has been. And the only thing he wants to see restored is his bank balance and tax cuts for his buddies.

 

If you wanted proof that this clown is losing his marbles, then listen to his speech at the Republican party get together and you will find that it is a complete and utter mess, which some have called a "word salad", but that is being kind, and some.

 

I will add something to your "remained consistent" mention, because he has certainly remained consistently dumb and is getting worse.

 

PS. Forgot to add that in the diatribe by thaipo7 "they" mentioned that Kamala Harris spoke to the audience like she was speaking to children!!! If you really want to see what that is like then you should view the difference between Obama and trump giving a speech on the killing of a terrorist – – it is absolutely laughable what trump delivers.

No, you're confusing policies with the implementation of the policies, as leftists tend to do. Helping leftists confuse voters with lies about implementations, and start busily attacking them, won't help the election effort.

 

Anyone can  claiim he's going to lower inflation, reduce crimes, etc..

 

So how is Trump going to lower inflation and make life more affordable, exactly, as it seems to be a major claim?

True, Biden and his chorus promised that and delivered the opposite.

 

Inflation wasn't a problem and life more affordable during Trump's last presidency. Maybe try to create the same conditions BUT now he's inheriting Biden's 35 trillion debt AND Biden's international mess w/ military threats.

 

Recession, as Reagan and Volker used to wring out the inflation of the 70s, cutting gov't spending, is probably the way to go, but that would be quite unpopular, esp w/ the Deep State. Fortunately Trump doesn't need to worry about being re-elected now, but he probably wants Vance to continue Trumpism.

 

Guess you'll have to wait and see what Trump and his advisors come up with. You won't like it, whatever it is, so let's not worry right now. 🙂

Trump never lowered inflation. He inherited a low inflation from Obama, and inflation was low all over the world. Actually his tax cuts resulted in a bit higher inflation than in other countries before Covid.

 

Trump also never reduced or stabilised deficit or debt, he increased them significantly even before Covid.

 

So it's just a list of empty promises, as even someone like you, who is well informed about Trump and the GOP, has absolutely no idea of how they intend to achieve it.

Trump's is much better. He's a natural entertainer and delivers in his inimitable, informal, spontaneous style that leftists hate. Obama, reading from a teleprompter, has the characteristic pompous, pretentious, schoolmarm tone he uses even when going around apologizing to Muslims for America. In his favor, Bin Laden was a much more significant target. Biden was opposed to the raid, BTW. CNN Can’t Whitewash Joe Biden Opposing the Osama bin Laden Raid. Prescient of his misguided foreign policies during his presidency.

The solution to inflation is well-known except by left-wing economists who wish to abolish private property and control all consumption and production. North Korea's doing great!

 

North Korea inflation rate for 2022 was 0.00%, a 0% increase from 2021.

North Korea inflation rate for 2021 was 0.00%, a 0% increase from 2020.

North Korea inflation rate for 2020 was 0.00%, a 0% increase from 2019.

 

And there are a number of ways to achieve that solution. We've seen how well Biden's done. Now there's a big mess to make it all a lot more difficult. Argentina's got it down, but they aren't a world power.

 

Trump's wise to play his cards close to the vest, as anything he says will simply be attacked and lied about; and those lies will be believed by the gullible and economically illiterate beliveing in all the "free stuff" looted from the rich that Kamala's promising them, like all Dem politicians always do.

She’s No Trump or Flip Flop Vance 

Positions reversed:

 

Over the course of about fifteen years (mid-20s to 40s)  J.D. Vance flipped on: Trump, gender procedures for minors and support of police.

 

 

In her late fifties, over the course of a few weeks, Kamala:

Went from wanting to ban fracking, to loving it.

Went from wanting to ban private health care to loving it.

Went from wanting a mandatory gun buy-back program to not wanting one.

Went from supporting Biden's border policy, now she wants the border closed. 

 

So, the media is now saying that illegal border crossings have plummeted to about what they were under Trump, which proves that Biden/Harris are tough on the border. 

But does it not also shows that:  1, Illegal crossings were much lower under Trump, and 2, that the Biden Administration has been lying for three years saying the border was closed, and 3, the that the Biden Administration has been lying for three years saying that they could do nothing without legislation, and 4, that the Biden Administration has been lying by claiming the border issue is Republicans fault for stopping the ridiculous bill. 
Biden and Harris are both liars, they could have stopped the flood of illegals flooding across the border any time they liked, but the left wants open borders, so they left it open until the election.

In 2019 the bottom 25% of wage earners saw a 4.5% wage increase while the top 2% only saw a 2% increase, making Trump the first President in 60 years to shrink income inequality

Kamala Harris Mocked After She Suddenly Acquires a New Accent During Atlanta Rally: 'Transparently Fake'

 

A Democrat is a Democrat no matter how you dress them up.  Thank God I am not one.  Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, and now Kamala Harris.  All phonies, all Liberals, all hate America, all are liars, all support and are supported by our enemies, all are Marxist and Communist in their thinking.  This is why Bernie Sanders loves them.  Trump is the real deal.  This is why he connects with real people.  He doesn't need useful idiots.

The Democratic Party’s most fervent supporters have already proven that they care nothing about opportunism or dishonesty. Feed them platitudes about identity, and they will vote blue no matter who.  With the thinking portion of the electorate, however, Republicans have a real opportunity. In fact, as of Wednesday, they have exactly 97 days to showcase Vice President Kamala Harris as often as possible.  Happily, a pair of videos that showed Harris speaking in a “transparently fake” accent at a rally in Atlanta, Georgia, on Tuesday has gone viral on the social media platform X.  Greg Price of the State Freedom Caucus Network posted the videos side-by-side. As of Wednesday morning, the post had more than 2.7 million views.  In the first video, recorded one week ago, Harris sat on the set of “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” Looking into the camera, the vice president enunciated her words and used a measured tone, as if speaking to children.

“We are all in this together, and your vote is your power,” Harris said, nodding her head for emphasis — all with no trace of an accent.  At the Atlanta rally, however, the vice president suddenly morphed into legendary actress Hattie McDaniel’s “Mammy” character from “Gone with the Wind.”  “You all helped us win in 2020. And we gonna do it again in 2024,” Harris said in a forced southern accent. Each “20” in the year “2020” came with an unmistakable drawl. And the “4” in “2024” sounded much closer to “fo” than “four.”

“Here is Kamala Harris, who was born in California to Jamaican and Indian college professors, talking to drag queens in Los Angeles a week ago vs. black people in Atlanta tonight. Fakest human being that has ever lived,” Price posted.

Clay Travis

Kamala Harris went to speak in Atlanta and now has a Southern accent. LSU coach Brian Kelly is jealous. But in all seriousness, why do people do this? It’s just so transparently fake.

 

On one hand, former President Donald Trump has remained consistent. Everywhere he has appeared in public for the last nine years, he has sounded like a New York City real estate developer who loves America and wants to restore its former greatness, only this time with peace and prosperity for all Americans.

So Trump and the GOP have no record of lowering inflation, no record of lowering deficit and debt  (actually they increased them), and no one knows how they intend to achieve these goals.  😀

7.    Defend our Constitution, our Bill of Rights, and our fundamental freedoms, including freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the right to keep and bear arms
8.    Prevent World War Three, restore peace in Europe and in the Middle East, and build a great iron dome missile defense shield over our entire country -- all made in America
9.    End the weaponization of government against the American people
10.    Stop the migrant crime epidemic, demolish the foreign drug cartels, crush gang violence, and lock up violent offenders
11.    Rebuild our cities, including Washington DC, making them safe, clean, and beautiful again.
12.    Strengthen and modernize our military, making it, without question, the strongest and most powerful in the world
13.    Keep the US dollar as the world's reserve currency
14.    Fight for and protect Social Security and Medicare with no cuts, including no changes to the retirement age
15.    Cancel the electric vehicle mandate and cut costly and burdensome regulations
16.    Cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, radical gender ideology, and other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content on our children
17.    Keep men out of women's sports
18.    Deport pro-Hamas radicals and make our college campuses safe and patriotic again
19.    Secure our elections, including same day voting, voter identification, paper ballots, and proof of citizenship

Under Biden, real wages after taxes and inflation decreased dramatically. That's one big reason (of several) he became so unpopular; and Kamala will likely lose.

 

But first, you need to explain HOW Kamala is going to achieve equity, which she defines as "everybody ends up in the same place." She's stressed that as her goal over years. Does that mean everyone has a government job paying the same amount?

Attack ads are really all Trump and the RNC have. It 's a bit difficult to post ads with policies such as giving tax cuts to billionaires, cutting social services, and gutting Medicare. Or weaponizing the DOJ to go after anyone who has slighted the orange crybaby.

 

No doubt the Democrats will have their own attack ads, with plenty of meat on the bone. Age, cognitive decline, abortion rights, felonies, racism, misogyny. It's a long list.

Biden mismanaged the crisis, greatly weakening the economy, then made it a far, far worse with absurdly large spending bills, that were bipartisan only by force. Then interest rates had to rise, reducing real wages even further.

 

Over his first three years, Biden has spent both $5.9 trillion more than was spent in pre-pandemic 2019 and run deficits of $5.9 trillion — with another $1.6 trillion projected for 2024 and federal publicly held debt reaching $27.9 trillion, 99 percent of GDP. This is a massive amount of extra money pumped into America’s economy.

     --Mr. President, take responsibility: ‘Bidenomics’ led to ‘Biden-flation’

 

But you're ignoring the question of how Kamala is going to achieve "equity." What's she gonna do? Don't you KNOW???
