“He’s really bad being Hitler,” my son mused in a text this morning about the following story.
President-elect Donald Trump, in a Saturday post to Truth Social, offered the help the Democrat Party pay off the campaign debt of Vice President Kamala Harris.
I find that somewhat profound, given the vile bilge and abject lies about the now-president-elect that were parroted throughout the bitterly-fought 2024 presidential campaign. From “Hitler” to “fascist” to “racist” to “white supremacist,” the baseless attacks against Trump were never-ending.
Yet, here’s Trump’s offer (emphasis, mine):
I am very surprised that the Democrats, who fought a hard and valiant fight in the 2020 Presidential Election, raising a record amount of money, didn’t have lots of $’s left over. Now they are being squeezed by vendors and others. Whatever we can do to help them during this difficult period, I would strongly recommend we, as a Party and for the sake of desperately needed UNITY, do. We have a lot of money left over in that our biggest asset in the campaign was “Earned Media,” and that doesn’t cost very much. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Yes, the president-elect made the offer in classic Trumpian style, but the question is whether he truly means what he wrote. I believe he does, for the reason he stated. This country remains ripped apart, and Trump is now in a unique position to help it heal — in a demonstrative, actionable way, vs. lip service, which is customarily thrown about by both parties after an election.
It would be wise for the dims to grab that olive branch and hold on for dear life.
