The latest episode of political theater shines a spotlight on Vice President Kamala Harris as she dusts off her “dictator” rhetoric aimed at Donald Trump. This revival comes just a day after her tone-deaf comments dissed thirteen grieving Gold Star families who lost loved ones during the botched Afghanistan withdrawal under her and President Biden’s watch. The timing raises eyebrows, as Harris seems to be trying to distract from her own missteps by hurling baseless accusations about Trump.
Harris’s recent social media post took aim at Trump with a flashy photo and a caption proclaiming he would be a dictator on Day One. This rhetoric might play well in her own echo chamber, but it essentially holds little weight in the real world. Trump has spent years promoting policies that prioritize American interests over international obligations, effectively counteracting the globalist agenda that Democrats seem to favor. Harris’s characterization of Trump as a dictator is simply an attempt to brand him as something he is not, ignoring the key details of his policies and intentions.

Trying to shift the narrative, Harris may have forgotten that Trump has already addressed this so-called “dictatorship” in the context of his first day back in office. When asked about his plans, Trump stated he would be taking decisive action against the detrimental policies of the Biden-Harris administration. Quite tellingly, he made it clear his “dictatorship” would involve closing the border and ramping up domestic oil production—two issues that a great number of Americans are yearning for rather than some authoritarian reign.
The irony is palpable. Harris, who just insulted families grieving their fallen heroes, now commandeers the moral high ground to point fingers at Trump. While Harris assures her followers that she won’t allow Trump to “dictate” their future, it’s hard to see past her clumsy pivot. Her misguided attempt at redefining the conversation comes off as an alarming form of political projection—shifting attention away from her administration’s failures and onto a cartoonish image of Trump as a power-hungry ruler.
In a show of unity, the Gold Star families responded to Harris’s dramatics by explicitly stating their disdain for her attempts to politicize Trump’s visit to Arlington National Cemetery. They highlighted that Trump’s presence was not only welcomed but also requested by them to honor their fallen family members. The families accused Harris of treating this most sacred occasion like a stage for her partisan agenda—a move that echoes the very politically feigned compassion they frown upon.
While Harris attempts to carry her narrative to the public, Trump steadfastly carries the endorsement of those families who lost loved ones under Biden’s watch. In the end, it wouldn’t be surprising if these desperate political maneuvers only further isolate Harris as she continues to flounder amid charges of incompetence and poor judgment.
