The debate that took place yesterday between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris served as a vivid and real-life example of the stark differences in style, substance, and credibility between the two candidates. The debate highlighted the clear contrasts between Trump, a leader exuding confidence and conviction, and Harris, who seemed to merely echo what she was told, offering nothing new or remarkable. This made her come across more like a parrot than a candidate for the presidency of the world’s most powerful nation.

Kamala Harris’s performance was, to be frank, disappointing. Her responses were superficial and lacked credibility. Instead of addressing the core issues at hand, she resorted to repeating the same worn-out phrases and personal stories that we’ve heard time and time again. She seemed to believe that by repeating her upbringing story, she could appear more authentic and relatable, but she failed. Rather than building a bridge of communication with the people, she appeared tense, insincere, and entirely unconvincing.
What is even more concerning is the way Harris used her personal background as a shield, attempting to manipulate the emotions of a segment of Americans by focusing on race and background instead of confronting the real issues that impact people’s lives. This strategy is not only insulting to the intelligence of voters, but it also raises serious questions about her sincerity and intentions. Her attempts to portray herself as a champion for the rights of people of color came across as mere theatric and fully devoid of any genuine commitment to change.

In contrast, Donald Trump displayed the confidence and clarity that have long defined his political career. Whether one agrees with his policies or not, it cannot be denied that Trump speaks with a certainty and clarity that leave little room for doubt. He does not hide behind polite facades or rely on catchy phrases; instead, he confronts issues head-on, with a straightforwardness that resonates with many Americans.
As the debate concluded, it became undeniably clear that Kamala Harris is not the right person to lead America and the world. If she wins the presidency, it will be nothing short of a disaster for the United States and the entire globe. Harris would be an even greater burden than Joe Biden, whose presidency has been marked by hesitation, decline, weak leadership, and confusion, allowing terrorist Iran to expand and strengthen with the billions it was permitted to acquire.

In these critical times, we must recognize the gravity of the situation. A Harris presidency would not only be ineffective and disastrous, but it would also lead America and the world down a perilous paths. Therefore, let us hope, for the sake of America and its future, and for the sake of all nations, that this dreadful scenario does not come to pass and that this weak, insincere, and fake politician does not reach the White House.
