Democrats are baiting former President Donald Trump, and unfortunately, he is falling for the trap again. The former president seems to have resumed his long-established frustrating habit of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory in his presidential campaign. I write this as someone who is voting for Trump and has supported Trump in his last two campaigns.
This is the third time Trump has been nominated as the Republican nominee for president. Yet, with this historical feat, one would think he would have learned from his past mistakes and stopped repeatedly falling for the Democrats’ political tricks. Unfortunately, he doesn’t and commits numerous unforced errors that threaten his chance at victory. For example, take the recent controversy surrounding Trump’s comments regarding Vice President Kamala Harris.
Recently, Trump has called to question Harris promoting herself and identifying as a black woman. It’s a dumb and foolish path to go down. First, absolutely nothing good can come from it. Second, it’s a waste of time, energy, coverage, and resources because, of all the current problems in the country and all of the grievances listed by voters, none of them has anything to do with Harris’s ethnicity. People are experiencing real problems.
But if Trump doesn’t shift his focus, he is going to lose the election.
However, exposing Harris’s political record would help persuade undecided voters. Harris is the politician who helped raise money for an organization that helped keep violent criminals out of jail. She was the one Biden tasked with “tackling the migration issue at the border.” But instead of solving the problem, the situation only worsened. People continued to suffer, including innocent women such as Laken Riley, a slain nursing student in Georgia who was allegedly killed by an illegal immigrant.
Does anyone think Laken Riley’s family cares about Harris’s ethnic background? How about anyone else victimized by illegal immigrant crime? Of course not. These are the kinds of things that Trump should focus on. Continuing this pointless and misguided crusade on Harris’s race and ethnicity will accomplish nothing.
In an era when America is reeling from the policies of the Biden-Harris administration, a time frame during which tens of millions of residents suffered from the lingering effects of rampant inflation, high gas prices, utility bills, grocery purchases, the substantial increase in violent crime, and an overall deterioration in the quality of life, Trump doesn’t need to concern himself with Harris’s ethnicity. Consider this a plea to Trump to do the right thing and focus on what really matters. Millions of other people such as myself want to see Trump victorious, not watch him make the same mistakes that cause him to lose for a second time.
Just a few weeks ago, Trump was on top and favored in the presidential election — something most political pundits did not think he could do. He enjoyed a wave of momentum that coincided with President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance and the sympathy, empathy, and admiration that followed after the assassination attempt on his life. Less than a month later, all that goodwill and buzz around him has evaporated.

It’s simple: Attack Harris on any of her numerous vulnerabilities and the political reality that she is woefully inept and a horrible candidate with a record that highlights her incompetence and failures. It would behoove Trump to stop losing focus and get with the program.
If not, Trump is going to lose the election.
