Memo to conservative writers: You’re starting to sound like press secretaries for the Harris campaign. Every op-ed contains the same three elements: former President Donald Trump must start talking about the issues, he shouldn’t have told ABC News correspondent Rachel Scott at the National Association of Black Journalists conference that Vice President Kamala Harris wasn’t always black, and that disparaging Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp at his Atlanta rally was wrong.
First, the reality is that Trump spends about 95% of his time at rallies and press conferences addressing the issues. Second, rather than applauding Trump for agreeing to attend the NABJ convention or for his restraint in responding to Scott’s stunningly offensive questions, they focus on his true, but politically incorrect, observation that Harris only emphasized her black heritage when it became politically expedient. And finally, they slam Trump for taking shots at the Georgia governor.
Late last week, the Wall Street Journal’s three most popular op-eds all took aim at Trump. Columnist Gerard Baker opined that “Trump is looking like a loser again.” The editorial board asked, “Will Donald Trump Blow Another Election?” And writer Peggy Noonan told readers that “Harris just won her third week in a row of the first three weeks of the hundred-day campaign” while Trump spent most of the week having what a GOP strategist told Politico was a “public nervous breakdown.”
These writers are doing the Democrats’ work for them. While I agree that Trump’s remarks about Kemp were unfortunate, they must let this go and focus on the task at hand: defeating the most far-left Democratic ticket in U.S. political history.
I get it. Trump is a flawed individual. (We are all flawed.) He is impulsive, unpredictable, egotistical, and sometimes boorish. I would argue that these traits are what made Trump a formidable adversary on the international stage. His temperament kept the tyrants of the world, who both respected and feared him, in line.
Trump is also strong, smart, courageous, patriotic, demanding, and one of the most accomplished presidents in modern memory.
And America needs his leadership now more than ever.
The willingness of the conservative media to amplify every single misstep Trump made during his presidency is what gave us President Joe Biden and Harris, who have presided over a period of unprecedented decline both domestically and globally. By every metric, America is worse off since the day this pair took office. And that is precisely where we should all be directing our venom.
The world is on fire and the Biden-Harris administration is the arsonist. Much of the current chaos and strife can be attributed to its failed foreign policy and its projection of weakness on the international stage. As we teeter on the brink of World War III, I submit that a dose of Trump’s abrasiveness would go a long way in defusing tensions.
The administration’s fatal mistake came early on when Biden decided to withdraw all troops from Afghanistan by Sept. 11, 2021. His approval numbers tanked the day the Taliban seized control of Kabul in August 2021 and have never recovered.
Harris owns this debacle as well. Biden emphasized from the start that theirs was the Biden-Harris administration. He told reporters he wanted Harris to be “the last voice in the room” when major decisions were being made, according to the New York Post. Harris later confirmed to CNN that she was indeed the “last person in the room” when Biden made the decision to leave Afghanistan on the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. She told CNN, “This is a president who has an extraordinary amount of courage.”

As President of the Senate, Harris has cast 33 tie-breaking votes. Ignoring warnings from former President Barack Obama’s economic advisor Larry Summers that passage of the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan in March 2021 would trigger inflation, Harris cast the deciding vote. Likewise, she is responsible for passage of the ironically named Inflation Reduction Act in August 2022. These two bloated stimulus bills, along with the rest of the Biden-Harris administration’s reckless and needless spending triggered the worst inflation in 40 years. Harris also owns the long series of interest rate hikes that were required to cool prices down and that have more than doubled mortgage rates.
And no matter how hard she tries to run from it, she is responsible for their failure to enforce U.S. immigration laws. The Biden-Harris administration’s open border policy has allowed more than 10 million illegal immigrants, including terrorists, into the country. It has also enabled drug traffickers to smuggle massive quantities of fentanyl over the border which kills approximately 70,000 Americans each year.
Anyone who trusts Harris’s election-year conversion is naive. She supports the same radical positions she championed during the 2020 Democratic presidential primary. To name a few, she supported a ban on fracking and offshore drilling, Medicare-for-all, and the Green New Deal. She also compared the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to the Ku Klux Klan. I’ll take impulsive and egotistical any day over the candidate who encouraged donations to a fund set up to bail out violent rioters during the George Floyd riots.
If you’re able to, chip in now to the @MNFreedomFund to help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota. https://t.co/t8LXowKIbw

Two recent decisions show that she is and will remain a San Francisco radical. First, she chose the far-left Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate. Second, her solution to the persistent inflation she helped create is to enact government price controls which have never worked anywhere they’ve been tried.
We have a binary choice to make in November. We can choose socialism, or we can choose Donald Trump.
And yes, it really is that simple.
