I thought I would give “my opinion” on Donald Trump and Karma Harris. Kamala Harris has done nothing in her four years in office. She is a radical left, and Waltz is also far left.
Many people don’t care for the personalities of Trump and Harris. Trump often says foolish things, while Harris tends to laugh frequently. Remember, you’re voting not just for a person but for a whole party: Republican or Democrat.
During an appearance Tuesday on ABC’s “The View,” Harris shockingly declared that she would have done “not a thing” differently than President Joe Biden did in the nearly four years since his catastrophic administration began.
When Democratic elites staged a coup against Biden in July and replaced him with Harris as the party’s presidential nominee, it suggested that the vice president would, at least, attempt to distance herself from the unpopular president, but not Kamala. She told everyone they would get four more years of the same or worse.
We already knew, of course, that she helped shape the disastrous 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal. And we knew that as Biden’s “border czar” (Harris) helped facilitate an invasion of illegal immigrants, which makes a terrorist attack on America very easy.
The FBI Director agreed and said, “These terrorist organizations don’t usually agree, but they seem united in calling for attacks on us. “As I reflect on my career in law enforcement, I struggle to recall a time when so many threats to our public safety and national security were simultaneously so heightened,’ FBI Director Christopher Wray informed lawmakers this spring.”

So, if you want four more years of destroying America, then vote for the radical left Democrat Harris. If you want to save America, then choose Trump, a Republican.
I think by reading some of Trump’s accomplishments, you will decide to vote a Republican Donald Trump back in office unless you want to finish destroying America by voting for Harris.
