Trump wins imagery election 'I'm Lovin' It' versus campaign of hate
COMMENTARY
By Charles Hurt - The Washington Times - Monday, October 21, 2024
OPINION:
The joy is gone, but the Happy Meal is back.
On Friday, a reporter asked Vice President Kamala Harris in Michigan why she was no longer campaigning as a “joyful warrior.” In a grave and tired voice, she offered a long, circuitous, incomprehensible response that ignored the question. So the reporter asked again.

A mug shot in Georgia.
Mr. Trump, face down, blood streaking his face after a bullet had struck his ear at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Then, Mr. Trump, moments later — standing tall, blood still streaking his face, fist raised — chanting “Fight! Fight! Fight!” with the American flag billowing behind him.
It was an image so powerful and honest that The New York Times cropped the picture to remove the flag — lest the true image be too appealing to voters before the November election.
Every one of these pictures became instant pop art, printed on T-shirts, sold as swag and worn by legions of people who are not part of the political intelligentsia. By year’s end, they will show up in the T-shirt bins at Goodwill and in Third World countries after survivors crack open the disaster-relief containers from America.
Already the most famous mortal in the world, Mr. Trump now glares defiantly from people’s chests from the projects of Atlanta to the slums of Calcutta and every country holler and jungle enclave in between.
