Kamala Harris is going to ban windows in buildings. She is also going to declare cows and beef illegal. Obama is the president of United States. American parents are understandably very concerned because they send their child to school in the morning and then the child returns as a girl in the afternoon. Finally, Kamala Harris is a piece of crap and mentally disabled.
Those are some of the brightest ideas put forth by Donald Trump in this election campaign. They are nothing new. The former president - and now, the favorite in the polls - of United States has a long history of ramblings that sometimes delve deeply into the absurd (it is advisable to listen to his testimony about "the tremendous smoke" from wind turbines in 2019 when he was in the White House) or insults (in this regard, nothing beats when in 2015, before becoming president, he imitated New York Times journalist Serge F. Kovalevsky, who has a congenital arm defect).
But in this campaign, he has outdone himself. Especially since July, when he started trailing Harris in the polls, which forced him to increase the aggressiveness and fantasy of his statements, a task in which he had the enthusiastic support of his vice presidential candidate, JD Vance. Thus were born the hoaxes of Haitian immigrants eating cats and dogs in the town of Springfield, Ohio, something that Trump still defends: just last week, in an interview with Fox News, he refused to admit that it was a lie and added a new species to the Haitian gastronomic list: "And the geese? What about the geese? They have all disappeared."
Many of these statements, however, are strategic. If Joe Biden doesn't know where he is, Trump, in most cases, does (although sometimes he blanks out, perhaps due to his 78 years, like last week when he started dancing without saying anything for 39 minutes at a rally in Pennsylvania until people left). His messages indirectly relate to hoaxes that flourish in the deepest swamps of X (the former Twitter), Rumble, and other ultra social networks.
The ban on meat and cows, for example, connects with the fear that vegetarians will take power and that a real man's meal - a beef steak - will no longer be accessible. Buildings without windows are, according to these theories, a strategy to combat atmospheric warming, which Trump denies exists and, furthermore, if it does, it will be better because "there will be more beachfront to build on." The theory that a child's sex can be changed in a few hours and that schools do it is as valid as Santa Claus's flying reindeer, but some believe it.

Perhaps the most striking thing of all is how the media in the United States is ignoring it. At the rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, where Trump praised the dimensions of golfer Arnold Palmer's reproductive organ, the -supposedly- Democratic New York Times simply reported that "the president started his speech with half an hour of golf anecdotes." No one would think that among the anecdotes of a sport is the size of a player's member, but that's how things are in the United States in 2024.
What follows is just a brief compilation of some of Trump's stellar campaign moments, without altering anything, so the syntax sometimes makes no sense. The first illustration is an edit that the president posted on Monday on his Truth social network, in which, aside from the madness of portraying himself as a football player with a physique the former president never had, a psychoanalyst would undoubtedly identify some kind of envy of Trump towards Palmer. The second, another similar case, in which Trump equates himself to Elvis Presley.
"My name is Ryan. I'm six years old. I live on a farm in Massachusetts. What is your favorite farm animal?"
"I'm going to tell you who I like. I like cows. But, if we go with Kamala, you won't have cows anymore because they won't be allowed. I don't want to ruin this kid's day, but I like cows. They seem so cute and beautiful and... but, according to Kamala, who is a radical leftist lunatic, we won't have cows anymore. So we have to get rid of her. If you like cows, you have to get rid of her."

"Kamala wants to make red meat illegal. Do you know what that means? It means there won't be any more cows. I guess in the end, she'll want to get rid of people. There won't be any more people."

"[Democrats] want to do wonderful things in this country, like getting rid of cows and getting rid of windows in buildings. They have wonderful plans for this country. The truth is, they are crazy."

"Democrats want to tear down buildings and rebuild them with very tiny windows. Okay, very tiny windows, where you can't look outside, you can't see the light."

Changing children's gender in schools
"I want to ask you about the failure of the education system here in the Bronx. What are we going to do to improve it?"
"Bring officials from Washington. Half of the buildings in Washington belong to the Department of Education. You don't need any of them. I'm going to reduce it to one person and a secretary to ensure they teach English. Okay. A little English, reading, writing, and arithmetic. No transgender, no surgeries. You know they take your children. There are some places... Your child goes to school in the morning and comes back in the afternoon transformed into a girl, without parental authorization. What's that about? Without parental authorization. The first time they told me, I said, "You know? That's an exaggeration." No. It happens. There are areas where it happens. We're not going to let it happen."

Arnold Palmer's Golf Player Penis
"Arnold Palmer was quite a man. I say this with all due respect to women. I love women, but that guy... that guy... that guy... was a guy who was a real man. This man was strong and tough, and I don't want to say it, but he showered with the other [golf] stars and they came out saying... "My God, it's incredible." We have very sophisticated women here, but what this man had was something special (...) I had been here before and told this, but not in such detail."
