One of the mainstream media chronic Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferers’ favorite lines is that Donald Trump shouldn’t be president again because he is “unfit to lead.” There’s obviously some amnesia associated with TDS, because there was a lot to like about Trump’s first term as president, even for the Democrats. Peace in the Middle East, thriving investments, and affordable groceries tend to be well-received all around.
While they repeat “unfit to lead” like it’s some sort of perverse mantra, they insist that Kamala Harris and her alleged boss Joe Biden can lead, despite an overwhelming body of evidence to the contrary.
Times of crisis are the toughest leadership tests. History’s greatest leaders rise to the occasion and prove their mettle when things aren’t going well. The people affected by the devastation wrought by Hurricane Helene could use a president who is competent or at least awake.
No such luck here in the Biden era.
This is from something Matt wrote yesterday:
The Biden-Harris administration has yet again shown its complete inability to effectively manage disaster responses. From its appalling handling of the tragedy in Lahaina, Maui, to its blatant indifference toward the people of East Palestine, Ohio—and now the failure to properly aid the victims of Hurricane Helene, especially in Asheville, N.C.—the pattern is clear. Time and time again, we’ve witnessed an administration incapable of stepping up when it’s needed most.
We are now five weeks away from Election Day. Kamala Harris and her team have been hoping to run a campaign that didn’t offer any challenges that would expose her complete lack of depth and the fact that she’s always in over her head. They’ve gotten adept at using photo ops as band-aids to cover up sore spots. The idea is to create the appearance of Madame Veep doing something.
Her trip to Douglas, Ariz., last weekend was supposed to make it seem as if she’s finally getting serious about the nightmare at our southern border. Nobody bought it.
As Matt goes on to say in his post about the hurricane response, Harris and her team went so far as to fake a photo to make her seem presidential.
This is a leadership test for Kamala Harris, and she is failing it miserably.
As Kevin wrote yesterday, there is someone who is trying to help:
As Harris takes time posing for fake photographs and Biden works on his cadaver tan on Rehoboth Beach, Del., Donald Trump, who — reminder — isn’t the president, is coordinating with Elon Musk to get Starlink internet access up and running for people who have no cell service and no way to tell their loved ones that they are still alive.
Wait, isn’t Trump the guy who’s unfit to lead?
