In 2016, it was practically a forgone conclusion that Hillary Clinton was going to win the election and become the first woman president of the United States. It didn't work out that way. Among other things, she was plagued by a perception of inauthenticity that most certainly contributed to her losing the election. Yet, Hillary's notorious lack of authenticity pales in comparison to that of Kamala Harris.
If voters are looking for someone who they can believe means what he says, it's Trump all the way. Trump doesn't shamelessly pander to different audiences the way Kamala does. You don't see him adopting fake accents at his rallies depending on where it's located. You don't see him pander to pro-Palestinian voters at one rally and then pander to Jewish voters at another. Trump's position on Israel is clear and consistent.

Trump has always been the genuine article. He's a straight shooter, who says what he means and means what he says.
Kamala Harris, on the other hand, couldn't be more phony and manufactured. She's the epitome of a Hollywood-produced campaign: scripted, rehearsed, and unoriginal.
For example, the Trump campaign released a video on Monday highlighting Kamala's blatant inauthenticity. The video showcases what could be described as her scripted “blocking” — a term used in filmmaking to describe rehearsed, choreographed movements. The video overlays clips from three recent speeches where Harris delivers the same lines with identical tone, gestures, and even a practiced mic-lean, making her delivery appear as rehearsed as an actor’s performance.

"Are you ready to make your voices heard?" she asks. "Do we believe in freedom? Do we believe in opportunity? Do we believe in the promise of America? And are we ready to fight for it? And when we fight, we win!"
Now, watch the overlayed videos.
Everything Kamala does is choreographed and rehearsed — down to the second.

Obviously, candidates have long relied on stump speeches that are mostly identical no matter where they give it. Trump certainly has a stump speech, but if you've ever watched his rallies, you know his delivery is unique, and he often goes off script. Kamala, however, is clearly so well rehearsed that her delivery each time is virtually identical each time—so much in fact that in the above video, her words are actually intelligible, despite three sources being overlayed together.
When she's retired from politics in January, she should consider a career in Hollywood. Frankly, she'd probably be better at it than politics. When it comes to being off-script, she's so bad, it's an impossible feat to find an interview she's done that went well—even the most friendly of interviews with the most friendly of interviewers.
Imagine her talking with world leaders without notes.
I can't even imagine.
