The Spin

Anti-Trump narrative

Donald Trump's attacks on Kamala Harris reflect a disturbing pattern of demeaning personal rhetoric. His refusal to focus on policy debates, instead resorting to deeply personal jabs, illustrates his tendency to bypass norms of political discourse. They reveal an attempt to regain control through nastiness rather than substantive engagement.

Pro-Trump narrative

Kamala Harris has opened herself up to personal attacks through her actions, particularly her role in "weaponizing the justice system" against Donald Trump. She, too, targets him personally, calling him "weird." Harris' calls for civility during the campaign deserve to be dismissed given her behavior towards her opponent.
