Donald Trump and Kamala Harris
EA on Monocle 24: Why Does J.D. Vance Dislike Childless Women?
I joined BBC Radio Ulster’s William Crawley on Wednesday to dismantle the politics around Donald Trump’s declaration that he “took a bullet for democracy”.
Listen from 1:05.37
I cut through the chatter over whether Trump was hit by a bullet or shrapnel during his July 20 campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. I explain why his self-portrayal, with his ear bandaged, as “touched by the hand of God” — or even being the Messiah himself — flopped at the Republican National Convention.
And I explain why the tactic has already been overtaken by the surge of Kamala Harris’s campaign, juxtaposing optimism and the issues v. the chaos, insults, and threat of a convicted felon.
