Letter: Focus on the real threats
Published: 07-10-2024 3:59 PM |
Since the June debate, one presidential candidate has been under a microscope. The media scream about Joe Biden’s age, and declare him virtually dead on arrival after a faltering debate performance that capped a month of international travel and diplomacy. Yes, age matters. But there’s only three years’ difference between the two candidates. Where’s the press when Donald Trump forgets his doctor’s name, says he’s running against former President Obama, or declares, falsely, that millions of violent migrants stream across the border, raping and murdering? What about Trump’s incoherent rants about sharks and electric boats? His felony convictions? His grift?
Trump strode onto the stage in gorilla posture and glared into the cameras on debate night. His face was hard with anger, even rage, which crackled out of my TV screen as he ranted about migrants and dead babies, brushing off any question he chose not to answer. His fear-based persona dominated his performance and his outrageous lies previewed what we’ll get if he is elected. The Heritage Foundation’s 2025 Plan for governance is tyrannical. The media don’t focus on it, although it’s a promise Trump will keep. It’s dehumanizing, it tears down the rule of law already under attack, it destroys alliances that minimize global wars, and it would sink the now growing economy. But Trump gets a pass. The Supreme Court has shown itself to be in line with the 2025 Plan. Voters need more information about this serious threat than we’re getting.
