GOP’s closing argument: ‘Kamala broke it, Trump will fix it’

Former President Donald Trump and his supporters made their closing refrain in the final week of the campaign, arguing that Harris was responsible for the current state of the country and that the only cure was the return of the 45th president.

“Kamala broke it, but I’m going to fix it,” Trump said at his Madison Square Garden rally Sunday evening. This phrase became a secondary slogan of the campaign, as Trump himself and his surrogates repeated it at every opportunity.

The campaign appears to be banking on most voters deciding they are better off under Trump and aims to portray Harris as the person pulling the strings in the Oval Office. Moreover, “Fix” refers to the laundry list of policy items, primarily border security and tax policies, but also applies to initiatives on all major issues.

“While Trump talks about solving Americans’ problems, Kamala Harris is focused solely on attacking him,” a campaign official said. he told Fox News. He is “asking people to vote for something, while she is asking people to vote against something.”

Allies and advisors follow suit

Other MPs also embraced the message. In a recent column for Fox Business, former Trump adviser Larry Kudlow highlighted inflation data and cost-of-living figures to show that the American people are worse off. But he took the “insurrection” one step further by highlighting Trump’s allies who will work in the administration to help repair the nation.

“There are many people, both new and old allies, helping Mr. Trump, but this is a significant representative group,” he wrote kudlow. “(T)his group, along with many others, shows that Donald Trump has the confidence and good sense to get the best people on his team, and so he can say with increasing confidence: Kamala broke it, Trump will fix IT. That’s the riff.

Kudlow specifically highlighted exes Vivek Ramaswamy, Elon Musk, JD Vance, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Tulsi Gabbard and several others.

Vance himself made the point “Think of the big tent coalition we built,” he said during a rally on Tuesday. On the right you have people like Brian Kemp, Nikki Haley. “On the left, there are people like Tulsi Gabbard and Bobby Kennedy.”

“This is the common-sense coalition that is ready to take the country in a more positive direction. But it’s very simple. Kamala Harris broke it. “And Donald Trump will fix it,” he concluded.

World leaders also emphasize the same point

The campaign is not the first to embrace such messaging. On the world stage, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban made a similar point in March this year amid escalating conflicts in the Middle East and Eastern Europe. “The President (Donald Trump) was the president of peace. “He inspired respect in the world and created the conditions for peace,” he said. Orban said. “During his presidency, there was peace in the Middle East, there was peace in Ukraine. We need it more than ever!”

“It is up to Americans to make up their own minds, and it is up to us Hungarians to openly recognize that it would be better for the world and better for Hungary if President Donald Trump returned to power.” added.

Trump himself has repeatedly pointed to Orban’s comments and repeated them at a rally in Allentown, Pennsylvania, earlier this week.

“Hungary’s powerful Prime Minister, Victor Orban, said: ‘If you bring Trump back, everything will stop.’ All these wars, everything will stop. “They respected him.” Actually, he said it differently. Trump said they were afraid of him, but I don’t care,” he said.

“China was afraid. Russia was afraid. They are all afraid. And you know what? I don’t want (them) to be afraid. “I just want respect,” he added. “And right now they need to respect us again. They are laughing at our country. They are laughing at us. “If we win, America will be feared and respected again, and on every issue, Kamala broke it and I will fix it.”

“Why didn’t he?”

Harris, however, initially had difficulty articulating her own position and even adopted some of Trump’s positions, such as repealing tip taxes. Although he has slowly sketched out more platforms for his future efforts, the Trump campaign has returned to a second refrain, namely asking why he hasn’t pursued such goals while in office for the past four years.

“He spends all his time complaining about everything but doesn’t do anything about it. He will do this. He will do this. Why didn’t he do it right?” Trump said at his Wednesday rally. In effect, Harris has shackled herself to the perceived failings of the Biden White House by saying: “AppearanceHe said earlier this month that he “can’t think of anything he would have done differently than President Joe Biden over the last four years.”
