Diving Deeper:

In the latest episode of "Triggered," Donald Trump Jr. pulled no punches, delivering a fiery critique of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz as he warned voters about the dangerous path he believes the country is on under Democratic leadership. From illegal immigration to crime and economic policies, Trump Jr. touched on a wide range of issues, often taking direct aim at the policies of Harris and Walz.

Discussing the surge of illegal immigration, particularly Venezuelan gangs in American cities, Trump Jr. highlighted the consequences of what he called Harris’s failures as "border czar." “Tens of thousands of illegal immigrants from Venezuela have poured into Aurora, Colorado, under border czar Kamala Harris,” he said. He then showed shocking footage of armed Venezuelan gang members taking over apartment buildings in Aurora, remarking, “Venezuelan street gangs are taking over apartment buildings in American cities as we speak.”

He further explained that this gang activity is not limited to Aurora but has also spread to other major cities, including Chicago. Trump Jr. referenced a 911 call and added that these gang members are brazenly displaying firearms and motorcycles in the courtyard of the complex. He drove the point home by blaming Harris directly for this surge in crime, stating, “This is Kamala Harris’s America… our more years of Kamala Harris will mean that this sort of illegal immigrant crime will be in every single town and city in America.”

Beyond crime, Trump Jr. delved into the economic impact of Harris' policies, especially in regard to foreign labor. He cited economist E.J. Antoni’s findings that native-born Americans have lost 1.2 million jobs, while foreign-born employment has risen by 1.3 million. "Yesterday was Labor Day, and under Kamala Harris, it’s become foreign Labor Day," Trump Jr. quipped, emphasizing that her policies are undermining American workers. He continued, “We’re swamping out American workers... Kamala Harris didn’t talk about this yesterday.”

Trump Jr. also mocked her use of various accents to appeal to different crowds. “Does Kamala not realize that her speeches are on camera?” he asked sarcastically. “She’s just blatantly making up new accents each and every day to try to appeal to voters.” He played clips of Harris delivering speeches in Detroit and Pittsburgh, pointing out the stark differences in her tone and delivery. Trump Jr. doubled down, saying, “How phony is this person? I mean, it’s literally laughable.”

Trump Jr. equally called out Harris’s plan to tax unrealized capital gains, describing it as another example of Democrats trying to grab more money from hardworking Americans. He explained how taxing unrealized gains, like home appreciation, could hurt ordinary citizens, despite Harris’s claims that the policy targets the wealthy. "Haven’t we seen this bait and switch before?" he asked, reminding viewers that income tax was initially introduced to target the wealthiest Americans, only to expand later. “There’s no doubt that Kamala Harris and the Democrats will expand this plan to tax unrealized gains to eventually reach into your 401(k) plans,” he warned.

Another major theme of the episode was the attack on free speech, particularly regarding Harris and Walz’s stances on censorship. Trump Jr. reminded viewers that Harris once called for his father, Donald Trump, to be banned from Twitter, saying, “Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are pro-censorship... When even Chris Hayes thinks you’re too far left, then you’ve really crossed the Rubicon.” He added that Walz doesn’t believe in free speech either, playing a clip where Walz stated, “There’s no guarantee of free speech on misinformation or hate speech.” Trump Jr. reacted to this, saying, “Let me guess, Tim Walz and the Democrats are going to be the arbiters of truth regarding misinformation. Well, we’ve seen that happening over the last eight years.”

On the issue of public safety, Trump Jr. criticized Harris’s record as a district attorney, claiming that she has a long history of being soft on crime. “Kamala Harris allowed criminals that punched cops and spit on cops to avoid any jail time,” he said, referencing a report from the New York Post. He summarized Harris’s agenda as one that “wants to free criminals, defund the police, and take your guns,” warning that this would become a grim reality if she wins in November.

Looking ahead to the election, Trump Jr. urged voters to stay engaged, as early voting begins in states like Pennsylvania in less than two weeks, saying, "Election season is officially here."
