Let’s get straight into it folks. Jorge Ramos is at it again. Univision’s senior anchor is driving the narrative, with his recent comments about former President Donald Trump’s indictment in New York making waves. You may recall that Ramos isn’t one to shy away from a spectacle. He admitted to orchestrating a confrontation with Trump over immigration, foot-high production values and all.
To get the full picture, let’s delve into the infamous moment. Ramos hopped on a plane to Iowa to argue head-to-head with Trump about immigration, what might have been perceived as standing up for immigrants, was merely a produced television spectacle meant for ratings. Three cameras, microphones and a strategic plan – all for the purpose of confronting Trump.
You see, when Ramos says he “asked questions”, read more accurately as premeditated statements – “You cannot build a 1900-mile wall. You can not deny citizenship to children in this country.” This confrontation wasn’t about asking questions; Ramos just wanted to make a scene, and that’s exactly what he did.
Ramos took this glorified showmanship even further when he wrote an op-ed associating Trump with Latin American politicians infamous for corruption and abuse of power. He delved into the shady pasts of these leaders, highlighting their unchecked wealth accumulation, and uses this as a launching pad for asserting Trump should stand trial to “maintain a healthy democracy”. It seems Ramos is endorsing jail time – or even death – as a fitting punishment for Trump.
But let’s pause here for a second. Is this what constitutes ‘justice’ for Ramos? Akin to the authoritarian methods he seemingly lamented back in his homeland? The hypocrisy is glaring. Ramos champions the ‘noble’ act of putting ex-presidents on trial, yet conveniently leaves out Daniel Ortega, the leftist Nicaraguan dictator who crushed his opposition with false financial crime charges. Trumped-up accusations, anyone?
This anomaly in Ramos’ argument further speaks to his true motive – silencing Trump, using any means necessary. He disguises his political bias as a concern for democracy, betraying a grave contradiction.
The real issue here compatriots, isn’t about whether Trump should be held accountable for his actions if proven guilty, but rather how this ‘journalist’ is using his platform to manipulate the public discourse. It’s important for us to recognize these tactics for what they are – an attempt to control the narrative and steer perception. As long as Jorge Ramos has influence over Univision’s content, expect more of this strategic shenanigans. Be alert, this is more than just a news story.
Ultimately, we should be asking, is it about upholding democracy or is it about clipping Trump’s wings? Ramos, it’s time to make up your mind.
