The Harris-Walz campaign is trying to paint Trump as a worn-out old-timer who mumbles his way through press conferences. Seriously? This is coming from the same Harris who gave us the timeless classic: “It is time for us to do what we have been doing and that time is every day.” If that’s the gold standard of clarity, then calling Trump incoherent is like the Biden-Harris approach to border security—hilariously ironic. It’s the ultimate case of the pot calling the kettle black.
The Irony of Age Discrimination
The Harris campaign’s pokes at Trump’s age aren’t exactly breaking new ground. Political strategist Tevi Troy points out the irony of the left using age discrimination against Trump. Wouldn’t it be more interesting if the story focused on Trump’s business savvy and political moves that breathed new life into the American economy, resulting in those record-low unemployment rates and tax cuts that put extra cash in regular folks’ wallets?
Energy Levels: Trump vs. Biden-Harris
How can you criticize Trump’s energy when your own administration seems to be running on fumes? While Harris and Biden float half-baked ideas like building a floating pier that sank after swallowing $320 million, Trump was expanding healthcare options and keeping Medicare premiums at a 14-year low. Now that’s what you call getting things done.
Age-Related Political Attacks: A Brief History
- ✅ John F. Kennedy vs. Eisenhower: Youth as an asset
- ✅ Ronald Reagan: Masterfully deflected age remarks
- ❌ George H.W. Bush vs. Reagan: Age attacks backfired
- ❓ Harris vs. Trump: Yet to be seen
This time around, Harris’s script feels like a rerun, lacking any fresh ideas, much like the Biden-Harris Administration’s warmed-over policies, from rejoining the WHO without any real changes to the messy exit from Afghanistan that cost lives and credibility.
Trump vs. Biden-Harris: Handling the Press
While Harris claims Trump would be too pooped to deal with the press, it’s actually Trump’s media interactions that stand out. He tackles tough questions, doesn’t duck press conferences, and doesn’t need cue cards to remember which reporters to call on. The Biden-Harris team, on the other hand, often comes across as more rehearsed than a soap opera—only with far less drama.
A Better Strategy?
One has to wonder: Is harping on about age really the smartest move? Maybe Harris should focus on delivering results, or even better, giving credit where it’s due for things like the Trump administration’s role in brokering those groundbreaking peace deals in the Middle East, known as the Abraham Accords, instead of downplaying them as mere “normalization agreements.”
Trump, who many would say fast-tracked COVID-19 vaccines with Operation Warp Speed, stands in stark contrast to Biden-Harris’ muddled vaccine messaging and head-scratching border policies that saw illegal crossings go through the roof. Where Trump saw action, Biden-Harris sees photo ops.
Wrapping It Up
To sum it all up, the Harris campaign’s age-based jabs at Trump might get a few chuckles but won’t do much else. If past experience teaches us anything, it’s that focusing on competence, efficiency, and actual achievements is the way to go. Save the word salads and fancy rhetoric for another day. Until then, voters will likely remember that it was Trump who asked the tough questions and got stuff done, regardless of his birth certificate.
