As the election approaches, the attacks on former President Trump continue to intensify. Attacks, to be clear, not from the Harris campaign but from the Regime Media. Consider, for example, NBC’s most recent campaign roundup.

Compare this sequence with the pillow-soft reporting accorded to Vice President Kamala Harris (click “expand” for transcript):

GARRETT HAAKE: It all comes after Trump campaigned in battleground Pennsylvania.

DONALD TRUMP: If we win Pennsylvania we win the whole damn thing. Right?

HAAKE: But raising eyebrows with this lewd digression about Arnold Palmer, spending 12 minutes talking about the golf legend in his hometown of Latrobe.

TRUMP: When he took showers with the other pros, they came out of there, they said, “Oh, my god. That’s unbelievable.” I had to say it.

HAAKE: Trump also holding a photo op at a Philly-area McDonald’s, working the drive-thru window to prescreened customers.

TRUMP: We love you. Thank you very much.

HAAKE: And scooping out French fries.

TRUMP: We’ve got the salt on it.

HAAKE: Saying he doesn’t believe the vice president worked at McDonald’s for a summer in college. Harris responding today.

HAAKE: Madam Vice President, did you work at a McDonald’s?

KAMALA HARRIS: Did I? I did.

HAAKE: All while Trump supporter billionaire Elon Musk, campaigning for Trump in Pennsylvania, is drawing scrutiny for saying he’ll offer a million dollars to one random registered voter every day if they’ve signed his petition in favor of free speech and the right to bear arms.

ELON MUSK: If you already believe in the Constitution, you’re just signing something you already believe and you can win a million dollars. That’s awesome.

HAAKE: Pennsylvania’s Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro firing back.

JOSH SHAPIRO: I think it’s something that law enforcement can take a look at.

Correspondent Garrett Haake just flitted from one non-controversy to another, reporting on the Trump campaign’s past weekend’s events in the most unfavorable light. The Regime Media continue to seethe about Trump’s Arnold Palmer story, his McDonald’s workday, and continue to attempt to trigger retaliatory lawfare against Elon Musk’s PAC.  

It is a small miracle that Haake didn’t try to tout indictments from 2 years ago. There is almost no rhyme or reason to this filing, seemingly, except to attempt to cram as much Trump-negative information as possible into the record.

Given the tone of tonight’s reporting, one wonders whether the Regime Media took a look at some internal Harris polling and took it upon themselves to clean up.

GARRETT HAAKE: Tonight former President Trump played defense in North Carolina. He’s won the state twice before, but polls now show a coin flip contest.

DONALD TRUMP: I will end inflation. I will stop the invasion. And I will bring back the American Dream.

HAAKE: Neither Trump nor the RNC Chairman saying today they’d seen any indication this election won’t be legitimate.

TRUMP: We’re so impressed. And I think they have a pretty good system here.

HAAKE: But just hours later, Trump still suggesting without evidence the election could be tainted by fraud.

TRUMP: The vote counter is more important than the candidate. That’s been true, unfortunately.

HAAKE: Trump also visited Asheville, hard hit by Hurricane Helene, where he was pressed about his false claims about the FEMA response and threats FEMA workers have received.

TRUMP: Well, I think you have to let people know how they’re doing. If they’re doing a poor job we’re supposed to not say it?

HAAKE: It all comes after Trump campaigned in battleground Pennsylvania.

TRUMP: If we win Pennsylvania we win the whole damn thing. Right?

HAAKE: But raising eyebrows with this lewd digression about Arnold Palmer, spending 12 minutes talking about the golf legend in his hometown of Latrobe.

LESTER HOLT: Garrett, former President Trump now making another appearance there in North Carolina tomorrow.

HAAKE: That’s right, Lester. Trump exudes confidence at these rallies and regularly says he’s winning everywhere, but he also just canceled a planned speech in Georgia to stand up another rally here in North Carolina tomorrow, a state no Democrat has won since 2008. Lester.

HOLT: All right, Garrett Haake. Thank you.
