The latest effort of Vice President Kamala Harris to attack former President Donald Trump as somehow "hiding away" from the public is so silly, it's hard to believe that her campaign would run with that. Trump is all over the place, doing all kinds of interviews and far more than her.
But she is desperate as the numbers seem to be running in Trump's direction. She's down to telling despicable lies and getting nailed on them, such as spreading the false story that Trump froze during an event and was confused, when he stopped because there were two medical emergencies. Even ABC debunked the false story and described how well Trump handled the situation.
Trump is just killing it in multiple interviews. The "Flagrant" podcast he did, for example. was a great interview because showed his humanity and great sense of humor.
But the interview he did on Tuesday with Bloomberg editor-in-chief John Micklethwait before the Economic Club of Chicago showed off his economic chops. He just kept dropping facts on the hostile interviewer and the audience of business people loved it, judging by the reaction.
Trump pointed out how the Republican Party was the party of common sense.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "This is the party, the Republican Party, of common sense... We need borders, we need fair elections, we don't want men playing in women's sports, we don't want transgender operations without parental consent." pic.twitter.com/LMLbX4KbD3— Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) October 15, 2024
Micklethwait tried to attack him, saying there wasn't a "peaceful transfer of power." But Trump reminded him that, in fact, it was a "peaceful transfer," as the crowd clapped in agreement.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "You had a peaceful transfer of power."
Interviewer: "It was by far the worst transfer of power in a long time."

Micklethwait said you had a peaceful transfer of power compared to Venezuela, and the crowd booed at him when he said that. Trump reminded him he had asked for people to march "peacefully and patriotically" and that he didn't seem to have an issue with the protests of the Democrats against the election in 2016. People threatened and tried to suborn the electors. Leftists rioted in the streets when Trump was inaugurated in 2017, but that is forgotten and ignored.
Micklethwait tried to skewer him over inflation, but Trump dropped him with how good his term was in regard to inflation, particularly compared to Biden and the audience loved it.
BLOOMBERG: Are those who claim your policies will drive up inflation wrong?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "I had four years of no inflation."

He also had a throwdown with Micklethwait over the worth of tariffs that was great, and again, the audience clapped. He said all you have to do is build here, and there are no tariffs.
TRUMP: "There are no tariffs."
HOST: *confused*
TRUMP: "No, there are no tariffs — all you have to do is build your plant in the United States and you don't have any tariffs. That's what I want."
AUDIENCE: *applause*

Trump also noted it was going to have a massive positive effect and the audience laughed when he just dropped Micklethwait for being wrong.
Trump just now at the Economic Club of Chicago:
“Tariffs are gonna have a massive effect, positive effect.”
“I know how committed you are to this, and it must be hard for you to spend 25 years talking about tariffs as being negative and then have somebody explain to you that… pic.twitter.com/QN2qAvf2CC— End Tribalism in Politics (@EndTribalism) October 15, 2024
"You're trying to turn this," Micklethwaite stammered.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "What does the Wall Street Journal know? They've been wrong about everything. So have you, by the way... you've been wrong all your life on this stuff." 🔥 pic.twitter.com/kg8LlYcpF0— Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) October 15, 2024
Yes, he did turn it on you, and the audience thought it was great.
He had the audience in love when he started eviscerating Gavin Newsom (or Newscum, as he called him). He also called him out over an anti-voter ID measure.
TRUMP: "Gavin Newscum. He's the Governor of California."
BLOOMBERG: "Newsom."
TRUMP: "Newscum, I call him."
BLOOMBERG: "There are CEOs out here if they said things like that about a rival CEO..."
TRUMP: "They don't have to go through what I have to go through." pic.twitter.com/UTuNzsXYNF— Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) October 15, 2024
The result? A standing ovation.
Standing ovation and huge applause for President Trump following his interview with Bloomberg at the Chicago Economic Club!
The crowd absolutely LOVED it! pic.twitter.com/59NHAU6TdK— Karoline Leavitt (@kleavittnh) October 15, 2024
Just to top it all off, Kamala Harris, who claims Trump is "hiding," was invited, but she refused.

She couldn't even begin to stand up to those questions and display the knowledge that Trump has.
Trump is in a league of his own. I hope the country sees the amazing opportunity that exists with a Trump 2024 win.
God bless President Trump!
He is the man for this moment in history.
It would not have been possible if the 2020 election had not been stolen.
The left created this moment in their greed. Let them enjoy the suck.
“Just for the record, The Economic Club of Chicago and Bloomberg invited Vice President Harris to a similar interview. She has declined.”
Pocketbook issues are probably the most important to many Americans, and Harris can’t even talk about the most basic tenets of the economy.
Obama, Clinton, and even Biden would not of turned down the opportunity to speak at an economic forum such as this one, so it’s Kamala Harris who is “hiding away”.
Trump is already a legend.
What was it that Sherlock Holmes always said?
Amen. Amen! AMEN! :)
The dude was a bloody wanker! Trump should have asked him if he was taking a piss!
He repeated several things. The one that comes to mind is “when you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, is the truth.”
It was about things “hiding in plain sight”
I think...🙄
Guess my old memory has some gaps, after all...😕
Lots of FU money, yet here he is. He’s truly a rare breed.
Perhaps God has another plan?
“What was it that Sherlock Holmes always said?”
“Watson, can you fetch my cocaine?”
So, this was taped in Pres. Trump’s basement, right?
I mean, I’m sure he could do up an Economic Club of Chicago set, hire the “fair and balanced” John Micklethwaiz and bring in an “astroturf” audience and all that while he was “hiding” ... Yes??
A version of Occam’s Razor?
