In a recent echo chamber of comedic remarks, former President Donald Trump made waves during a NewsNation town hall featuring his running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance, from Ohio. Trump, never one to shy away from clever commentary, posed a tongue-in-cheek question about the brilliance of Vice President Kamala Harris. It’s a classic move: take a jab and watch the floundering responses roll in. Vance couldn’t help but chuckle at the absurdity of the question, before realizing that any elaboration might lead him into dangerously uncharted waters. But Trump, displaying his usual penchant for brevity, quickly cut him off, reassuring everyone that Vance was, in fact, doing just fine without needing to analyze Harris’s brainpower.
Things turned around as Trump turned the tables, asking Vance how he felt about Trump himself. The Senator, with a nod that could only be described as a mix of reverence and amusement, affirmed the obvious—that, yes, the man behind the legend is indeed brilliant. They both happily settled on the consensus that America needs smart leaders, especially when the alternative is currently residing in the White House.
In classic Trump fashion, the former president couldn’t resist boasting about the state of his campaign. He claimed confidence in the coming election, waving the banner of leading the polls with what he called a “landslide.” It seems the only landslide Americans are seeing, though, is in the media’s penchant for downplaying his support while touting Harris’s lead in national polling. Besides, who needs the mainstream media when Trump’s charisma can outshine computerized statistics any day of the week?

Vance, stepping slightly outside the hot air of politicking, addressed the growing divide among friends and families over differing political beliefs. The Senator dished out some sage wisdom suggesting that turning against a lifetime friend just because they back the other political team is a huge blunder. Imagine that—trying to convince the politically obsessed to preserve their social ties over party loyalty. What a concept! The idea that politics should not dictate personal relationships is a refreshing take, especially as friendships are falling apart over who votes for whom.
With only a dozen days remaining until the election, early voting has already made headlines as millions weigh in from their mailboxes. The drama of this electoral game continues to unfold, and the ardent Trump supporters remain excited about their guy’s chances. While Harris may have a slight lead in national polls, it’s the battleground states that tell the real story. Trump’s lead in those crucial areas suggests that when the votes are counted, the political landscape in America may once again sway in favor of the right, much to the dismay of those who blindly follow the media narrative.
