The latest episode in the ongoing drama that is Donald Trump’s public life offers yet another reminder of how the left is perpetually on a search and destroy mission against the former president. Even when things seem to be going swimmingly for him—like being the overwhelming favorite to win the GOP nomination—they’re still desperately trying to grasp at straws that could ruin his chances. Recently, a visit to the National Association of Black Journalists event in Chicago turned into yet another opportunity for the leftist media to feather their faux-outrage nest, courtesy of some racially charged questions aimed at Trump.
During this lively gathering, Trump made a comment that caught the chuckles of the crowd, referring to Kamala Harris’s shifting identities over the years; specifically, how she once identified as Indian-American before fully embracing her Black heritage. This jab hit close to home, considering Harris’s constant rebranding seems more about political advantage than authentic representation. The left, predictably, scrambled to twist Trump’s words into a narrative that paints him as a racist, as if using sheer volume of angry headlines could drown out the truth that the media itself has flip-flopped on how it refers to Harris over the years.

It doesn’t take a genius to see the hypocrisy dripping from the liberal narrative. The same Associated Press that touted Harris as the first Indian-American U.S. senator in 2016 was ready to roll out the red carpet for her as the first Black woman nominated as a VP candidate by a major party in 2020. And let’s not overlook that Snopes, notoriously known as a fact-checking engine for the left, quite astonishingly confirmed that Trump’s assertion had merit, rating it as true. Seems like the left may want to pump the brakes on this manufactured outrage before it spins out of control.
The idea that Harris can pick and choose her racial identity based on convenience is a marvel of modern politics. Social media users are already pointing this out, questioning the logic of changing one’s race as if switching outfits for a different event. The apparent frustration from the online community reflects a growing awareness that the Democrats appear to bend narratives like they are pretzel sticks, shifting them to fit their current needs.
Trump’s comments were not only accurate, but they also provided the kind of fair critique that political discourse desperately needs. The media has created this peculiar circus around identity politics, and it seems Trump—wise to the tactics of the left—strikes back like the seasoned veteran he is. It ties back to a classic saying in political strategy: if the media are perceived as not just lazy but morally bankrupt, they become the perfect foil for a master tactician like Trump, who knows exactly how to play the game—and he’s playing it brilliantly.
