Presidential Candidate and former POTUS, Donald Trump, was behind enemy lines as he thundered closing arguments for this election cycle at Madison Square Garden in deep blue New York City to a sold out crowd and thousands more outside. His remarks offered real hope to a nation hungry for a better life, and with inflation under the Biden-Harris administration, I mean that literally.
He began rocking the world’s most famous arena with the question, “Are you better off now than you were four years ago?” The crowd answered with a resounding, “No!” From there, Trump called out the current administration for the horrible policies tanking the economy and outlined the changes he intends to implement on day one. The speech was sound bite gold, but fewer words could be smithed together to resonate with such optimism as “dream big again.” The stark contrast of life under Republican and Democrat policies couldn’t be made clearer.
During the Obama years, the hopey changey that Americans were promised turned out to be for the worst. We were told that the country’s best days were behind us and we had to get used to a new normal. He said jobs that disappeared weren’t coming back, and you couldn’t garner more pessimism than by telling a young voter that maybe grandma just needs a pill.
We’re seeing a different approach under Biden/Harris. President Joe Biden wants you to cast the evidence aside and believe his policies are working. To add insult to injury, he demanded journalists “start writing that way.” Even his fawning left-wing media isn’t buying it.
Vice President Kamala Harris hasn’t done any better. Before waking up one morning to find herself at the top of the Democrat ticket, she went on record several times insisting Bidenomics is working, but gaslighting the American voter doesn’t help fill the car and fridge. She knows she’s not fooling anyone, so now she wants the Grand Canyon between Bidenomics and her campaign.
Discouraging Democrat rhetoric and just flat out lies will never generate enthusiasm for any message. After four years of Democrat policies pounding the economy into the ground, most Americans, especially young people, feel like the American dream is out of reach. Trump said he wants to bring it back. Making the American dream affordable is what the Trump campaign is all about, but why settle for a dream when you can dream big again?
