Just as Kamala Harris’s campaign has been imploding, President Donald Trump’s campaign seems to have picked up steam. Not only is he doing well in the polls, but he’s been doing events that have blown up the only desperate argument they see to have left — the “Hitler gambit.”
It’s pretty hard to argue that someone is Hitler when they’re joking with you as they serve up fries at McDonald’s. It’s hard to argue someone is unstable when they do a three-hour conversation/interview with Joe Rogan and Harris herself doesn’t have the courage to do that. As well as people think they know Trump, his appearance on Rogan’s show was opening minds all over X, with people realizing that they had been lied to by the media after they saw it. Not only wasn’t Trump Hitler or unstable, but he was funny, and he was intelligent. He was the guy he always was, the guy they used to love, before they decided to hate him. He could speak authoritatively on history in a way you could never imagine Harris doing.
I think letting Trump loose on podcasts, which, according to him, was a move encouraged by his 18-year-old son, Barron Trump, opened him up in a new way to a new audience that is now embracing him. Mix in with his natural humor, and that’s a winning combination.
He showed that humor again on Saturday in a post that understandably went viral when he commented on a concern of many when it comes to McDonald’s. And now that he’s worked there for 15 minutes longer than Kamala can prove, he knows.
