When the President of the United States casually suggests he’d like to take a swim with a political opponent, one has to wonder if he’s swallowed a bit too much of his own Kool-Aid. During a recent event in Baltimore, President Joe Biden let his emotions fly, reportedly implying that he’d like to drown former President Donald Trump. This isn’t just a slip of the tongue; it’s a flashing beacon signaling how far the Democrat Party has drifted into the sea of inflammatory rhetoric.
The Democrats have long touted themselves as the guardians of democracy, yet their language veers dangerously close to inciting political violence against their adversaries. In a country where a president is supposed to be a unifying figure, Biden’s call for a swim with Trump raises alarming questions about the priorities of the party that claims to uphold American values. After all, Trump has faced at least two serious assassination attempts lately—talk about throwing fuel on a fire that’s already lit.

Then there’s the fruitless effort by former President Obama to establish that every presidential word matters, a concept that becomes quite amusing when juxtaposed with Biden’s flippant threats. Last week, Biden was all about locking Trump up, but it’s a mystery how someone locked in legal battles suddenly becomes a threat that needs to be drowned. If this is how Democrats view political rivalry, it’s clear they are more interested in silencing dissent than engaging in civil discourse.
As the Democrats continue to ramp up their vile rhetoric, it seems the campaign of joy has turned into a campaign of personal attacks against Trump. Vice President Kamala Harris has decided to paint Trump as a “fascist”, employing comparisons to Hitler which only serve to underscore her desperation as her polling numbers plummet. Instead of providing a rationale for their fading enthusiasm, they opt to twist the narrative, as witnessed when Governor Tim Walz absurdly equated Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden to a Nazi event. Instead of a mea culpa, Harris doubled down on her outrageous comments, fully embracing the divisive language they so often claim to abhor.
Trump, understandably alarmed, has pointed out the reckless nature of these attacks. He has stated that it’s a campaign of hate, which could potentially put his life in jeopardy. A man who has faced threats against his life shouldn’t have to contend with political opponents who wield inflammatory comparisons like they’re confetti. These comments suggest that the Democrats are not just fear-mongering; they’re playing a dangerous game that could escalate tensions further.
The Democrats might find it humorous to engage in this level of discourse, but for many Americans, it’s reminiscent of a reality TV drama gone off the rails. It’s time for a reality check: the party that claims to be all about democracy appears to be more invested in inciting chaos than in fostering dialogue. Instead of offering solutions, they throw around threats like candy, hoping to distract from their own issues—completely missing the fact that significant portions of the country see through their antics. In the end, one has to ponder whether this brand of politics is what America really needs.
