The Kamala Harris campaign for president has been going remarkably well, particularly given the unusually short time frame and unique circumstances that thrust her into the race. In just over a month she has raised a record amount of donations, signed up hundreds of thousands of volunteers, and presided over a successful Democratic convention. All of which has led to a surging rise in the polls, and a simultaneous sinking for Donald Trump.

Harris has been making all the right decisions in her orchestration of the campaign. And among those was her choice of the vice-presidential candidate to accompany her on the Democratic ticket. Tim Walz has proven to be an extraordinary asset whose experience and authenticity have endeared him to the American people. Which, of course, triggered a knee-jerk inquisition by MAGA Republicans in Congress.

Not to be left out, Trump himself has been busy defaming Walz. As is his psychotic pattern, he has called him childish names and spewed a litany of licentious lies. For example, Trump posted a comment on his floundering social media scam, Truth Social, that he likely believed would land a knockout blow to Walz. It consisted of a picture of the cover of Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post with the headline “OH, BROTHER! The stories I could tell. Sibling warns: Tim Walz should not decide America’s future.”

Trump added his own commentary saying that Walz “Sounds like a really great guy!” However, for some reason Trump neglected to mention that his late sister, former federal judge Maryanne Trump Barry, was not exactly proud her little brother. In fact, she is on the record harshly chastising him in recordings by Trump’s niece, Mary Trump. As CNN reported in August of 2020…

“Maryanne Trump Barry bitterly criticized her brother, President Donald Trump, saying, ‘Donald’s out for Donald,’ and appeared to confirm her niece Mary Trump’s previous allegations that he had a friend take his SATs to get into college, according to audio excerpts obtained by CNN.” […]

“Among the some of the more critical comments made by Barry was commenting on how her younger 74-year-old brother operated as president. ‘His goddamned tweet and lying, oh my God,’ she said, according to the recording. ‘I’m talking too freely, but you know. The change of stories. The lack of preparation. The lying. Holy shit.'” […]

“Barry also said at one point to her niece, ‘It’s the phoniness of it all. It’s the phoniness and this cruelty. Donald is cruel,’ according to the audio scripts and recordings.”

Who cares that Gov. Walz has a brother with whom he has partisan ideological differences? Every family in America probably has a sibling, or uncle, or third cousin twice-removed, who is an insufferable political contrarian. It might even make Walz more relatable to many voters with similarly severed families.

Furthermore, the difference between Walz and his brother, and Trump and his sister, are noteworthy. Walz’ brother is a Republican who has clashes with his Democratic brother on purely partisan grounds. But Trump’s sister is also a Republican whose animus is much deeper and more personal. She is repulsed by Trump’s rancid character and his absence of morality and ethics.

UPDATE: Trump also hyped some members of Walz’s family who are at best distant cousins in Nebraska who have never met him…

This is more residue from the toxic stain that is Donald Trump, whose noxious cult appeal has driven a wedge between previously cordial family members. And while it doesn’t have any effect whatsoever on Walz’s ability to serve, it does illustrate how devoid of any substantive criticisms the GOP is. This is the best they can do?

Trump was not only despised by some members of his family, but the people who worked most closely with him in his administration have abandoned him. Of 44 cabinet and other top level staffers, only four have publicly endorsed him. Among those who do not appear to regard Trump as fit to serve are his vice-president Mike Pence, Defense Secretary Mark Esper, and Chief of Staff Gen. John Kelly.
