Donald Trump has been the target of at least two assassination attempts.
And yet the vice president, Kamala Harris, called an “emergency” press conference Wednesday to tell the world that he is the second coming of Adolf Hitler.
“Donald Trump is out for unchecked power. He wants a military like Adolf Hitler had, who will be loyal to him, not our Constitution,” she said.
“He is unhinged, unstable, and given a second term, there would be no one to stop him from pursuing his worst impulses.”
There is no way to sugarcoat the fact that Harris, in her desperation as her campaign heads down the toilet, has just invited more assassination attempts on her political rival.
She has green-lighted future efforts to murder him, with her carefully scripted, deliberately delivered official message from the official vice presidential residence in Washington, DC, using an American flag as her backdrop, just to add an obscene flourish.
Harris may as well have put a target on Trump’s back and called it a bull’s-eye like her boss, President Biden, did shortly before Trump escaped, by a fraction of an inch, being shot dead by an assassin’s bullet.
After all, any decent, reasonable person would try to assassinate Adolf Hitler if they had the opportunity to travel back in time and save 6 million Jews from genocide, and prevent World War II with its 15 million military casualties and 38 million civilian deaths.
That assassin would be hailed by history as a hero.
This is exactly the glory that Harris is offering fellow unhinged sufferers of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Tempting fate
Given the shockingly violent recent history of this election campaign, it is not hyperbole to say that Harris has incited violence against her political opponent.
It is a logical, inevitable, predicted outcome of her carefully chosen words, and it will take uncharacteristic competence from the Secret Service, politically unhelpful caution from Trump, and God’s grace to keep him safe over the next two weeks.
In fact, people concerned about Trump’s well-being worry about the period through to Inauguration Day because, if Trump were to win the election, and something were to happen to him, there is no guarantee that the unscrupulous, power-mad Democrats would allow his VP-elect, JD Vance, to take his place.
It’s a ghoulish thought but one that is top of mind for sanguine political operatives who understand the desperation of the Democrats and the deep state cabal who covered up for Joe Biden and are propping up Harris.
To the cabal, Trump really is an existential threat — not to democracy or America, as we are frequently told, but to them and their control over the presidency.
It’s no coincidence that Harris’ pernicious press statement came soon after Biden said of Trump: “We’ve gotta lock him up,” thus blowing up all the elaborate lies he and Harris and the rest of their godforsaken administration have told about the politically motivated lawfare being conducted around the country against the former president and coordinated by the White House in numerous meetings and the seconding of DOJ attorneys to do the dirty work.
Calling Trump Hitler is Harris’ closing message of her benighted election campaign, a fitting capstone of almost four years of the deeply cynical and divisive reign of Harris-Biden.
She is a failure as a candidate for president just as she was the first time she tried, when she flopped so badly she didn’t even make it to 2020.
It was supreme hubris to think she could somehow transform herself into a winner when she hasn’t even tried to improve herself or learn anything new in the four years since.
In her failure, she reaches for her campaign’s dirtiest tricks, using the same ring-around-the-bathtub deep-staters who sabotaged Trump’s presidency and successfully denied him re-election in 2020 by lying that Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation, among other foul tactics.
Enter John Kelly, Trump’s former chief of staff who has been on a vengeful jihad against his former boss after being fired and disrespected by him.
Kelly, a former four-star general, was not a good fit for the Trump White House and, by his own telling, tried to sabotage the president.
He also once physically shoved First Daughter Ivanka Trump, according to her husband Jared Kushner’s memoir.
Just as he did in 2020, Kelly is spewing unverifiable personally motivated venom about Trump, which The New York Times and The Atlantic happily amplify two weeks before the election without even attempting a fact-check.
Personal attacks
Kelly has claimed to the Times that Trump has praised Hitler and “fit the definition” of a fascist, as well as reportedly being a source for the besmirching of the memory of a murdered soldier to The Atlantic.
The family and attorney of Vanessa Guillen, 20, along with former Trump aides in the room four years ago, have vehemently denied unreliable journalist Jeffrey Goldberg’s hit job in The Atlantic claiming that Trump refused to pay for the soldier’s funeral and derided her as a “Mexican.”
No surprise that The Atlantic is owned by one of Kamala Harris’ best friends, billionaire widow Laurene Jobs, who has squandered Apple founder Steve Jobs’ money by transforming the magazine into a Trump-deranged smear sheet with risible articles regularly denouncing the former president as the incarnation of Hitler, Joseph Stalin and Benito Mussolini.
By leaping on Kelly’s debunked allegations, Harris again has shown that she is out of her depth.
On the day Vladimir Putin is meeting with leaders from half the world, including China and India, at the so-called BRICS summit which challenges US hegemony, what do we get from the woman who aspires to be the leader of the free world?
A cartoonish script read aloud in a tremulous falsetto falsely defaming the likely next US president as a fascist and Hitler clone. She sullies the office she holds and the office that she seeks.
She betrays the American people whose vote she desires by gaslighting them and telling foul lies against the man half of them voted for in 2016 and in 2020 and will vote for again in 13 days.
Unlike Harris, Trump is not an enigma.
He was president for four years and has been president-in waiting for another four.
He has been a public figure for decades, as a big-time New York property developer and man about town, and as the star of the ratings blockbuster “The Apprentice” for 14 seasons.
The American people know he’s not Hitler, unless their brains are afflicted with the Trump Derangement virus.
Chuck Schumer, Kathy Hochul and the other Democrats who cordially hobnobbed with him at the Al Smith Dinner last week know he’s not Hitler.
Nobody who knows him believes such idiocy.
It’s a fantasy concocted for the ignorant rubes who read The New York Times and don’t understand the way the world works.
