The New York Post Endorses Donald Trump, Calls Kamala Harris an 'Unqualified Political Lightweight'

In a surprise move, the New York Post announced on Friday that it's endorsing Donald Trump for President of the United States. 

Using the picture of Trump just after he was nearly assassinated, pumping his fist in the air and shouting fight under an American flag, the Post called Trump "the clear choice for a better future.

The very first words of the endorsement don't mess around: 

Voters carry a heavy responsibility in this election — one of the most consequential in the history of this great nation.

The choice will have reverberations for decades, deciding which of two very different paths for the future Americans will take. 

We must choose the following:   

  • A secure border and a sensible immigration system.
  • Safer cities and support for law and order. 
  • A thriving, low-tax and low-regulation economy for all — fueled by an energy policy that supports, not penalizes, industry and households. 
  • Common-sense policies that restore the power of parents to choose what is best for their children on school choice, gender surgery and trans athletes playing in female sports. 
  • An America that’s respected on the world stage — feared by our enemies and trusted by our allies. 

Only one candidate can credibly claim to lead us there. 

Donald Trump.

The Post goes on to say that the examples set by the last two administrations give us a pretty good record to compare with one another, and proceeded to ask themselves if they are better off than they were four years ago, as Reagan once did. 

The Post admits that Trump can be "ridiculously hyperbolic," and it's fair to find him offensive, but the results he produced before COVID were undeniable:

But before COVID wreaked havoc across the globe, Trump’s first-term results were paychecks that grew markedly faster than inflation, the lowest unemployment in 50 years, a secure border and peace overseas.

It recounts how, when Joe Biden took over, the country took a "hard left turn, with disastrous results" and plunged into the things Americans everywhere are suffering from, including rapidly rising inflation, millions of illegal migrants entering the country, mounting crime, and "culture wars over DEI and gender identity" which have "set neighbor against neighbor." 

The Post also condemned the "disgraceful" weaponization of the justice system against Trump, as well as the two assassination attempts that resulted from "the all-too-familiar constant barrage of hysterical media attacks on him."

To make sure it drove its point home as to why it wasn't choosing Harris, it launched into denouncing her harshly: 

Meanwhile, Kamala Harris has rightly been criticized as an underqualified political lightweight because she refuses to answer almost any question about the last four years or reveal any detailed future policy plans.   

What may also be just as true is that she doesn’t want the American people to know the full scale of her radical plans, because it would scare them off.

Indeed, any close study of her record shows it to be that of a San Francisco progressive.

If she wins, Harris will not only co-opt Bidenism but accelerate the progressive hurricane ripping through the fabric of American society.

The Post rightly predicts that electing Harris will only make inflation worse, driving us further into debt and killing jobs. It also highlighted that Harris co-sponsored the radical leftist Green New Deal, while boasting about her war on oil on her own website. 

Meanwhile, they note that Trump has a "Drill, baby, drill" approach to oil in order to maximize America's energy independence, as well as pull back regulations on businesses and cut taxes for workers. Moreover, it says Trump treated Iran like the villain it was, pulled out of the bad Iran deal, and killed Qassem Soleimani. 

It finished with this: 

The burden is heavy on our shoulders this November. 

But Trump and Harris want to take us down very different roads — making the choice stark and simple, but vital. 

Donald Trump is the right choice.

The Post is correct. There really is no mistaking who the better choice is here. 

Harris is a leftist radical with no good plans, while Donald Trump is an experienced businessman with proven chops to take us into a far better future. The people who side with Harris do not have a good outlook on this country, while Trump represents pride in the United States and a desire to see her thrive. 

The difference couldn't be more obvious. As Tucker Carlson pointed out during his speech in Georgia, the Democrat Party has used and abused America and its people, seeing them not as people but a collective to be controlled, and they've made that clear by how they've spoken about and treated Americans.

This is a fantastic endorsement, and one coming out of the heart of New York as well.
