Trump’s Relentless Campaign to Undermine Kamala Harris’ Momentum

[Social Media]

 

As Election Day looms closer, Donald Trump is intensifying his efforts to dismantle Kamala Harris' image as a transformative leader and undermine her credibility as a potential president. Despite his advisors urging him to focus on voter concerns such as inflation and immigration, Trump is doubling down on his combative, insult-driven approach that first catapulted him to power in 2016.

 

Recently, Trump has used international tragedies to launch accusations against Harris, blaming her for the deaths of U.S. troops in Afghanistan and implying her involvement in hostage killings in Gaza. Alongside his running mate JD Vance, Trump has also attacked Harris’ multiracial heritage, suggesting it reveals a duplicitous character that accounts for her changing positions on energy and immigration. In a particularly offensive move, Trump amplified a sexually charged slander against her on social media, while his campaign ads accuse Harris of intending to cut Social Security benefits by allowing undocumented migrants into the country. Echoing past Republican strategies, Trump and his allies are portraying Harris as a dangerous extremist, branding her as a communist and even a “Bolshevik.” 

 

The barrage of attacks has extended to Harris' running mate, Tim Walz, with South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem describing him as a “security risk” because of his past teaching stint in China. Trump, meanwhile, continues to stoke fears of a rigged election, hinting that the 2024 race might not be “free and fair,” and dismissing charges against him related to interfering in the 2020 election as baseless.

 

As Trump ramps up his attacks, he is simultaneously grappling with his own political challenges. Desperate to narrow a significant polling gap among women, Trump has altered his stance on reproductive rights, even as his role in appointing a conservative Supreme Court that overturned Roe v. Wade remains a contentious issue. Vance, too, has made missteps, including a demeaning comparison of Harris to a frazzled Miss Teen USA contestant, further alienating female voters.

 

The critical question remains whether Trump’s attacks will succeed in galvanizing his base or if they might start to sway opinions against Harris in key battleground states. With his inability to capture more than 49% of the vote in pivotal states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin during past elections, Trump’s path to victory may hinge more on damaging Harris’ appeal among swing voters than on broadening his own support base.

 

However, Trump’s tactics come with significant risks. His controversial behavior, such as posing for campaign photos at Arlington National Cemetery in a manner some perceived as disrespectful, could backfire and reinforce Harris’ narrative that America is ready to move past the chaos of the Trump era. Despite her gains in recent polls, Harris' campaign remains cautious, acknowledging the ongoing threat posed by Trump. As her campaign manager Jennifer O’Malley Dillion noted, “Make no mistake: the next 65 days will be very hard… This race will remain incredibly close.”

 

Harris' recent campaign stops in Detroit and Pittsburgh emphasize her focus on union workers, a group that traditionally voted Democrat but has been increasingly swayed by Trump’s appeal to blue-collar voters. A crucial debate scheduled for September 10 in Philadelphia could be one of the final turning points of the campaign, occurring just as mail-in voting begins.

 

Trump’s relentless attacks have not yet succeeded in redefining Harris negatively in the eyes of the electorate. While Republicans criticize Harris for lacking policy clarity and changing her stances on fracking and immigration, her centrist positions appear to be frustrating Trump’s attempts to land a decisive blow. Harris has worked to counter Trump’s criticisms, such as rebuking his campaign stunt at Arlington and his efforts to hold her responsible for past military failures in Afghanistan.

Sure hope it works.  So hard to believe the Leftist propaganda can take over the truth in the US.  Truth needs to win out this time.

MAGA Musks Twitter is also well onboard here muting accounts that support Harris and using well established MAGA influencers to continually spread misinformation and outright lies  in coordinated daily attacks.

When Harris wins the likes of Musk will be sure to be investigated regarding their blatant election interference.

Attacks are all he has. No real policy to speak of, convictions, dishonor, and four disastrous years as president. He does not possess the creative juice to adapt, and that is absolutely killing his campaign, at this point. He is headed for the greatest humiliation of his lifetime.

 

He's old, he's tired, he's now the oldest person to ever run for president, he's feels like he's 85 or 90 right now, he seems to be losing interest, he seems to be losing the plot, his message is getting tired, he has no ability to dance on his feet and be creative, and adapt, and he just seems to be disintegrating before our eyes, which is a beautiful thing to watch.

The day I heard Musk bought I left forever.

The amount of money he has managed to lose warms me

     Typical Trump.  He's far too lazy to actually do any thinking on any of the important issues so he does what he always does, takes the easy way and just insults.  Which, actually is probably smart on his part because he has done so many flip flops and told so many lies that he can't keep anything straight at this point.  In the horrible event that he wins, he'll likely need a new cabinet position, Department of Trump Lies, to manage and maintain all of them in some sort of order.  Meanwhile, I find it insane that any woman with a functioning brain would vote for Trump.

She's doing a pretty good job of undermining herself, going from identifying as Indian to black, fluffing the CNN interview, lying about working at McDonalds, talking in fake accents and avoiding press questions now trying to avoid debating Trump.

So many propaganda polls showing Harris is slaughtering Trump.

 

I guess they are all wrong, you are the lone voice who is right.

 

Quite easy to be right with a statistical sample of one.

 

 

[Purdey]

Apparently the Republican party is worried it doesn't have enough money compared to Harris.

Why should money determine election outcomes? Can Harris win on money alone?

First, the disruption of the election. Local precincts refusing to certify to the state. Perhaps, state officials refusing to certify the vote. That brings on the law suits. But there are mandatory Constitutional timeline demands so the courts will intervene. As a national Presidential election is in question ... immediate SCOTUS involvement. After all, a major Constitutional crisis. Trump loses by an overwhelming popular vote (more than the 3 million votes opposing him in 2016, more than the 7 million votes opposing him in 2020 ... I'm looking for 10+ million votes opposing in 2024). He will count on the Electoral College. The Electoral College overthrows an overwhelming popular vote and ... Katy bar the door. Increasingly happy to be an American economic working middle class refugee. My mail-in, Absentee Ballot will, no doubt be attacked y MAGA as it will definitely be cast in opposition to Trump and his Project 2025 ilk.

Totally fake. Pure delusion. The stock market and high real estate prices are not translating into a great economy. Many are barely getting by. Consumer confidence is terrible. Only homeowners who have their homes paid off, and the top 10% are doing well. The others are hurting. I travel often to the US, and see it first hand. 

 

Stop the lies.
