Former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to claim his ABC News event with Kamala Harris was his best debate “ever.”
Meanwhile, media pundits from across the political spectrum heralded Tuesday night’s debate as a positive for the Harris campaign. Prominent conservatives including dozens on Fox News noted that Trump started the debate off strong but became unhinged as the event continued on.
However, Trump had a very different interpretation, writing on Truth Social that moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis were against him in a “three on one.”
The Harris campaign has already challenged Trump to another debate before the November election. Trump responded to the challenge while speaking to the press after the debate by saying, “[Kamala Harris] wants to do another debate because she got beaten so bad tonight, I don’t know if we’re going to do another one. I wouldn’t mind…”
Awkward handshake between Trump and Kamala at first debate
TRUMP: “I’m an open book. — everybody knows what I’m going to do — cut taxes very substantially and create a great economy like I did before.”
KAMALA: “Donald Trump left us the worse unemployment since the Great Depression!”
(There was a global pandemic.)
TRUMP: “In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs, the people that came in. They’re eating the cats! They’re eating the pets!”
TRUMP: “She has no policy — everything that she believed — is out the window. She’s going to my philosophy now. In fact, I was going to send her a MAGA hat.”
TRUMP: “I probably took a bullet to the head because of the things that they say about me…They’re the threat to democracy.”
WATCH: Trump tells Kamala to end the debate, go wake up Biden, and sign an order to close the border
TRUMP: “She hates Israel. She wouldn’t even meet with Netanyahu when he went to Congress to make a very important speech. She refused to be there because she was at a sorority party…If she’s president, I believe Israel will not exist two years from now.”
TRUMP: “Where is our president?! We don’t even know if he’s president! They threw him out of a campaign like a dog…We have a president that doesn’t know he’s alive!”
KAMALA: “Let’s remember how Donald Trump started! He was land, he owned land, he owned buildings!”
Trump says he was going to send Kamala a MAGA hat for stealing his policy ideas.
Harris invites people to attend a Trump rally, says people leave Trump’s rallies out of “exhaustion and boredom.”
Former President Trump to Vice President Harris: “Wait a minute. I’m talking now. If you don’t mind. Please. Does that sound familiar?”
Trump insists at debate that he did not recently admit he lost the 2020 election: “I don’t acknowledge that at all.”
Kamala Harris: Donald Trump was fired by 81 million people, so let’s be clear about that and clearly he is having a very difficult time processing that.
KAMALA: “These dictators and autocrats are rooting for you to be president again!”
TRUMP: “Putin endorsed her last week.”

Not a fan of either candidate…
Well! Must give it to kamala…. she was very well prepped and answered without laughing all the time… articulate…. but her eyes and teeth were not straight.. one could see SHE LIED BIG TIME!!!
Trump on the other hand needs to focus on the main point and stress on main points.
The Don got creamed. Now it’s time for the RNC to copy the DNC and finally dump Trump. Swap the populist loser out for a real Conservative.
Whoever told Trump to go unhinged should be fired from his campaign. Trump needs to realize that most voters are looking to vote for the person they hate the least and he is hated because he goes unhinged. His ideas and policies do not matter to the majority of swing voters. His core base (who enjoy his unhingedness) are going to vote for him no matter what. He needs to be professional and calm and controlled and let her hang herself.
And when she says he is a threat to democracy, tell her to tell that to RFK Jr. who the democrats boxed out of the debates. How many debates did she participate in and how many speeches did she give and how many interviews has she done in order to attain the Democratic ticket? None. She was appointed without any individuals voting for her. That is about as undemocratic as you can get. Her saying Trump is a threat to democracy defines virtue signalling. I pray someone from the Trump campaign reads my messages and conveys this to the people running Trump’s campaign.
It’s a real shame.
We could have easily had a Republican president if Trump would have stayed out.
Grumpy OLD macDonald whines some more, he can’t handle three on one! You think Putin shows up to a meeting by himself? He proves the point that he’s weak and unfit.
Harris wiped the floor with this imbecilic idiot!
Trump looked more surprised by kamala sticking her hand out for a handshake than the bullet….
At some point you have to wonder whether Donald just doesn’t care any more or is deliberately trying to lose the election. EVERYONE, including his wife and kids, told him to stay calm and focus on substantive issues and Harris’ flip flopping. Instead, he looked like an angry and scowling old man, screaming gevalt about immigrants stealing and eating cats in Ohio.
