In tonight’s ABC Presidential debate, one candidate – Donald Trump – displayed vivid, righteous indignation, channeling frustrated Americans on the critical topics of the economy, foreign policy, immigration, and especially trade. The other, Kamala Harris, came off as scripted, platitudinous, and hollow on major policy points.
Thanks to the listlessness of Congressional Republicans over the past decade, Harris had an easier time with one topic: Obamacare. But across the board, Trump was far more in touch with the day-to-day American experience, rightly quizzing at the end of the night – if she has all these plans, why hasn’t she done it? She is, after all, in office right now, without much of a “boss” to answer to nowadays.
But with inflation still squeezing the average American, economic stagnation, trade imbalances, and real-world illegal migration horrors manifesting across the country, Trump seized the mantle of ‘MAGA’ – Making America Great Again. Regular readers will be acutely aware that if I really didn’t believe so, I wouldn’t write it.
