Putin Announces His Choice for US President, Destroys Liberal’s Trump Narrative

The U.S. establishment has made it clear who they want in the White House. Spoiler alert: It’s not Donald Trump. Kamala Harris, the darling of the Democratic party, is the chosen one, backed by the media, political elites, and other power players who seem more concerned with maintaining control than letting voters have their say.

It’s no secret that Harris has been shielded from the same scrutiny Trump faces as if the establishment is holding her hand all the way to the Oval Office. Voters might wonder if they’re being robbed of their right to a fair election.

The elites aren’t just propping up Harris—they’re rewriting the narrative. From biased coverage in the media to curated debate stages where Harris is free to throw punches while Trump faces endless fact-checks, the message is clear: the establishment is doing everything it can to push its preferred candidate. But recent news coming from Russia reveals just how far the manipulation goes and how the media continues to perpetuate lies about Trump’s relationship with Russia.

From Fox News:
As soon as the highly anticipated event ended in Pennsylvania, the Russian media exploded with detailed reportage and analysis of the Trump-Harris faceoff. Putin’s commentariat largely declared Harris the winner.

“Bad Night for Donald Trump” read the headline of an editorial run by business journal Kommersant, which characterized Harris as “being in her best form.” The authors praised Harris for “taking control of the situation from the very start” by “stepping into the opponent’s territory” when in the beginning of the debate, she came up to Trump, stretched her hand and introduced herself saying, “Hello. I’m Kamala Harris.”

On Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s press secretary, Dmitriy Peskov, flatly denied that the Kremlin had any interest in watching the Trump-Harris debate. “It’s not our business,” Peskov said. That would seem to undercut the long-standing media narrative that Russia is obsessed with Trump and invested in helping him win elections. So much for that Trump-Russia collusion story, the media loves to spin.

But, of course, Russian state media had its own plans. Despite the Kremlin’s official stance, Russian media quickly jumped into full coverage mode after the debate, with outlets like Kommersant declaring Harris the winner. Funny how the media here at home and over in Russia seem to be singing the same tune. Russian outlets praised Harris for being “in control” and “attacking from the start.” Meanwhile, they claimed Trump had a “bad night,” a sentiment echoed in many American headlines as well. It’s almost like they were reading from the same script.

Russian commentators didn’t stop there. They latched onto Harris’ jabs about Trump being weak on Russia, with Harris quipping that Putin would “eat Trump for lunch.” But here’s where it gets interesting: despite Peskov saying Russia didn’t care about the debate, Russian media proudly counted how many times Trump and Harris mentioned Putin. Twelve times in total, they boasted. So, while the media here spins stories about Trump being in Putin’s pocket, Russia’s own state-controlled outlets are eating up the drama, using it to push their own narrative about a divided America.

Russian media even peddled conspiracy theories about Harris wearing “spy earrings” during the debate, supposedly getting coached through hidden earpieces. The theory went viral on social media, helping Kremlin propaganda spread faster than wildfire. What does this all tell us? While the media here paints Trump as the Russian favorite, it’s Harris who’s getting glowing reviews from Moscow.

The real takeaway here is simple. The media and elites can’t hide the truth forever. Russia may be playing its own game, but the manipulation we see here in the U.S. is no less dangerous. At the end of the day, it’s the voters who are losing.

Key Takeaways:

  • The U.S. establishment heavily favors Kamala Harris, with the media shielding her from the same scrutiny Trump faces.
  • Russian state media praised Harris after the Trump-Harris debate, despite the Kremlin denying interest in watching.
  • The media’s narrative of Trump being Russia’s favorite is contradicted, as Russian outlets support Harris and even spread conspiracy theories to undermine Trump.
