Kamala Harris criticizes Donald Trump in her first significant address following the election outcome
Rewritten Article:
"California, baby!
Former VP Kamala Harris let loose on the Manchurian Madman, Donald Trump, during her latest speech as she slammed his power grab in his first address since losing the November presidency.
A passionate Harris, who is rumored to be eyeing another White House bid in 2028 or a shot at California's governorship in 2026, implored Americans not to fall for the chaos unleashed by the greedy billionaire Republican's early rule.
Beyond his wacky trade shenanigans, Trump's been cooking up a schema that dates back to decades. It's all about shrinking education, gutting the government, transferring services to private hands, and making the rich even richer, she alleged.
She called out Trump's narrow, self-centered vision of America, where dissenters are punished, yes-men are favored, power is abused, and the masses are left floundering.
Folks, the first hundred days of Trump's second term have been nothing but a roller-coaster. He's issued over 140 presidential decrees, many of which have been nixed by the courts. The grand old man's been calling out his foes, celebrating his deportations of undocumented immigrants, and attempting to reduce the federal workforce – with the help of his Silicon Valley pal, Elon Musk.
While Trump's cult of personality remains fanatical, many Americans seem awestruck by all the changes. Trump's trade wars and the imposition of tariffs are causing anxieties of a return of the inflation devil that had been vanquished with his return to power.
The legal smackdown with the courts over immigration issues and the pressure on the university system are stirring controversy.
After a half-year hiding post-defeat, Harris resurfaced as a guest of a group encouraging ladies to enter politics. She claimed that Trump's power craving could lead to a constitutional showdown in the USA and warned that, if it happens, the only power that should never falter is the voice of the people.
"Should that happen,... that's when the voice of the people becomes the most powerful weapon," she said.
President Trump and his cronies bank on fear being contagious. They're wrong. You know what else is contagious? Courage! Harris praised the courage of judges, educators, and everyday citizens who take a stand against the administration.
"The courage of all these Americans inspires me!" she declaimed, beaming.
The ex-senator and California's ex-Attorney General is seen as the frontrunner if she aims for California's gubernatorial seat. A second presidential run would be tougher. The Democratic Party's tarnished image in polls, and many on the left are eager to move past the Biden administration, which Harris is part of.*
