Former President Donald Trump recently commented on the “contrast” between himself and Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming 2024 presidential election during a rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Trump emphasized that he and Harris are vastly different individuals, stating there is a candidate on one side who is “fake” and a candidate on another side who will “fight” for the United States.
In a video shared on Twitter by Trump’s campaign account, the former president told the crowd, “The contrast could not be more stark. On the one hand, you have a radical left puppet candidate who is fake, fake, fake. And, on the other hand, you have a president who will fight, fight, fight for America.
This statement comes after Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire at Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13. The incident resulted in the former president being shot by “a bullet that pierced the upper part” of his right ear. In response to the attack, Trump was seen standing up with blood on his head, raising his fist and mouthing the words, “fight” three times.
Following Trump’s words, several people responded by echoing his sentiment of how the election was “fake, fake, fake v. fight, fight, fight!” Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) wrote in a post on Twitter, “FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT for America.” Comedian Tim Young also chimed in, tweeting, “It’s FAKE, FAKE, FAKE v. FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT.
Trump’s comments were made just a day after Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) spoke at a rally in Nevada where he compared and contrasted Harris’s and Trump’s agendas. Let’s just talk about the contrast between not just these two visions, but four years of Kamala Harris’s governance and four years of Donald Trump’s,” Vance told the crowd. Kamala Harris’s vision is open American borders and close American factories.
Vance continued by highlighting the differences between the two candidates, stating that President Trump built the strongest economy in history with a formula based on common sense. By contrast, Kamala Harris would be the most anti-American energy president that we have ever had, as she has pledged to ban fracking.
