Vice President Kamala Harris is at it again, and this time she’s using a shaky hit piece from The Atlantic to hurl accusations at former President Donald Trump. The piece, written by Jeffrey Goldberg—who has made a name for himself spinning anti-Trump narratives—claims that Trump praised H****r. You read that right. And what’s the basis of this claim? A couple of anonymous sources that somehow feel a lot like a rerun of old, debunked stories.
Of course, Harris wasted no time in grabbing this low-hanging fruit to attack Trump. Why let a fact-check get in the way of a good smear campaign? After all, the timing couldn’t be more convenient. Harris has been grappling with negative headlines after Trump’s massive rally success, and what better way to distract from your own shortcomings than to throw some mud? She made the wild claim from Washington that Trump’s alleged comments are “deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous,” warning America that Trump is “unhinged” and “unstable.”

Cue the dramatic pause.
Let’s break this down. The supposed bombshell from Goldberg’s article relies on anonymous sources—two of them. If that doesn’t scream credibility, what does, right? Even The New Yorker’s Susan B. Glasser and The New York Times’ Peter Baker’s 2022 book, from which this allegation seems to have been dredged up, couldn’t provide any hard evidence. It’s all a game of “he said, she said,” with the media once again playing Harris’s biggest cheerleader.
Trump’s team didn’t waste any time shooting this down, categorically denying the absurd claims. But, of course, denial or facts won’t stop Harris and her team from milking this baseless narrative for all it’s worth. She’s leaning into it hard, framing the entire issue as a national crisis—because, apparently, Harris believes that accusing Trump of being a closet admirer of H****r is a winning strategy.
It’s no secret that Harris’s approval ratings have been in the basement lately. Maybe she sees this as her hail mary, hoping that if she repeats the words “unhinged” and “unstable” enough times, it will somehow convince the public that she’s the one holding the moral high ground. She went on to say that without people like John Kelly to act as guardrails, Trump would essentially be a dictator-in-waiting in his second term. Really, Kamala? This is the message you want to close on?
Let’s be honest—this is less about Donald Trump and more about media manipulation. Harris’s stunt, boosted by the mainstream media, is a classic case of trying to shift the conversation away from her own blunders. Trump is fresh off a successful weekend of campaigning, and rather than address her own weak points, she’s pulling out the tired old “Trump is dangerous” card.

And what’s the deal with The Atlantic printing easily debunked falsehoods? They even got called out for a completely fabricated story about Mayra Guillen, whose sister, Vanessa Guillen, was a U.S. Army soldier tragically killed in 2020. The story claimed Trump offered to pay for the funeral but supposedly got angry over the cost, spouting an expletive. Guillen herself has said the story is absolutely false, yet it still made it to print.
However, after this statement, she bombed the CNN town hall:

Even CNN agreed that she didn’t do well. The only answer she could give was Trump bashing, as usual. That is her only platform.

At the end of the day, this whole debacle is less about any real concern over Donald Trump’s mental state and more about political theater. The Harris campaign is desperate to score points, and the establishment media is all too eager to play along. This is just another example of how far the political machine will go to distract, distort, and destroy. But for those paying attention, it’s clear who’s really grasping at straws here—and it’s not Donald Trump.
