This year, Donald Trump set the democratic world burned with an look at a McDonald’s in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. That, he donned the famous McDonald’s belt, cooked up some potatoes and served clients at a drive-thru glass. All the while, he appeared to be completely enjoying himself, which he was. Trump has the velocity, and he knows it.

But it’s more than that. Whatever Trump’s different failures, at his source, Trump likes people. and not just those with similar backgrounds or those of his course. He enjoys interfacing with people. I had the opportunity to meet with Trump two weeks ago to celebrate the release of an British captive held by Hamas in Gaza. Trump and them had an personal connection. Trump is at ease with his fellow Americans because he is proudly who he is, whether it is Hebrew Americans from New Jersey who are facing the horror and tragedy of having their son imprisoned by the most hated terror group in the world or Pennsylvanian voters who want to meet Trump and get a Happy Meal.
That’s just not real of Kamala Harris.
Off-script, Harris remains a crisis. Her Fox News meeting with Bret Baier fully went off the rails, with Harris able to support even the most fundamental decisions made by the Biden administration. Her “60 Minutes” meeting with Bill Whitaker was filled with phrase salad, spin, and facile drivel. She is obviously taking time off the campaign route to make for a CNN conference and an NBC News interview, events that, for a regular candidate, do not necessitate any hotel conference room preparation. However, this girl is the same lady whose employees had to create a “mock dinner” to include supper with Washington journalists and newsmakers. According to Axios, Harris ‘ assistants perhaps considered including beverage in the mock training session so Harris was training with a glass or two.

What’s more, Harris seems to be a permanent citizen of the amazing valley. She does a somewhat credible work of appearing hot and people… but only , only.  , Her relations usually reek of the staged and the controlled. Every shift is made with perfect accuracy. Twelve-time Best Actress nominee Katharine Hepburn once reportedly described Meryl Streep’s acting as too mechanical:” Click, click, click”, she reportedly told biographer Scott Berg, “referring to the wheels turning inside ( Streep’s ) head”. That’s Kamala Harris with real, genuine human people. And it shows.
Which is why the internet have gone angry about Trump’s McDonald’s attend. Trump’s opponents claimed that the McDonald’s was actually” staged” and that the event had been” staged,” which is a peculiar criticism given that both Trump and his assassination attempts were required for presidential campaigns to secure places of business before candidates enter. The reviewers even went so far as to criticize the neighborhood brand for years of poor health. This was a Trump get, so there is a reason for the despair.
And it was a Trump win because Trump was n’t pretending, he did n’t don jeans and a T-shirt in order to cosplay as one of the boys, Tim Walz-style. Otherwise, he showed up in his classic coat, put on an aprons and started handing out potatoes and chit-chatting with the clients. In contrast to the nylon pleasure that the Kamala campaign displayed, it was a time of authenticity that showed in that regard.  ,

Harris ca n’t shake the fundamental reality that she has been, for decades, a highly stylized political product. Kamala 1.0 was a liberal attorney, Kamala 2.0 was a hard-charging attorney, Kamala 3.0 was the furthest left member of the United States republic, Kamala 4.0 was a moderate. And Kamala 5.0 is exactly where she is at any given time.
But what she really needs is a human being. And that’s the problem: She is n’t.
