    "Stand up for our principles and not sell them for the benefit of personal flattery’ this is not the apprentice Trump

    I’m experiencing so many conflicting emotions right now. Horrified, amused, enthusiastic, resigned…

    There’s smoke coming out of my ears, and I smell a burning clutch from constantly shifting gears.

      I laughed a lot at some of the absurd things he has said during this, but that claim so far has been the funniest. It’s phrased like he just ended a game of Clue but he can only communicate via conservative buzzwords.

      Kamala just got a laugh out of me when she was talking about Trump inviting the Taliban to Camp David and she’s talking and then chokes on her words to look him up and down to try to find a PG-rated descriptor of him and ended up just saying “and this……… former president”.

      Clearly a sentence from a perfectly sane man and not a rotten brain kept alive through shoddy dark magic inside a barely functioning zombie

      He’s parroting good points he hears used against him.

      “You don’t have a plan”

      “That’s a lie”

    Trump when asked who should win in Ukraine: “I want the war to stop, I want to save lives. People being killed by the millions. It’s so much worse than the numbers that you’re getting, which are fake. We have to give them $250 billion because we don’t ask Europe who are at a greater risk because Biden and YOU don’t have the courage to ask Europe like I did with NATO and they paid up, which is why they don’t like me as much as weak people. You look at what’s happening. They pay lots less. They should be forced to equalized. I want to get the war settled. I know both Zelensky and Putin well and they respect me. They don’t respect Biden. Why would you respect him? He hasn’t called Putin in two years. This is a war that’s dying to be settled. When I win, when I’m president-elect, I’ll get them together. That war would have never happened. When I saw Putin after I left, because this country has gone to hell, when I saw him setting up soldiers, I thought he was going to negotiate but he wasn’t because of Biden and millions are people are dead and it will be WWIII and where is Biden? We don’t even know if he is a president. They threw him out of our campaign like a dog. Biden doesn’t know he’s alive.”

    Trump when asked again: “I think the war should finish. Negotiate a deal. People’s lives are destroyed.”

    Harris finally tells him he’s not running against Biden.

    Trump on Israel/Gaza and how he would negotiate to get the hostages out and end the war: “If I were president, it wouldn’t have happened. Russia- I know Putin very well- wouldn’t have gone into Ukraine. All of the sudden, she hates Israel! She wouldn’t meet with Netanyahu because she was at a sorority party. She hates Israel. If she is president, I will predict Israel will not exist in two years. I am good at predictions. She also hates Arabs because the whole place will blow up. It would have never happened. Iran was broke under Trump, now they have $3 billion because they took down my sanctions. Now they are paying terrorists. They are spheres of terror. They had no money. ABC covered it well. Now they are a rich nation and now they are spreading that money around. Look at what’s happened with the ‘hooties’ and Yemen. Look at the middle east. If I’m president-elect, I will get it done before I become president.”

      Trump rebuttal to Harris explaining why Trump is a disgrace on national security: “She’s the one that caused it. That’s weak on national security. 168 countries sent people into our country. Their crime rates were way down. Putin endorsed her and I believe it. It wouldn’t have happened with me. World leaders think they’re incompetent. I have a question: why did Biden kill the Keystone Pipeline and allow the Nord Stream Pipeline? Because he’s weak.”

      If ANYONE thinks Trump came out on top in this debate, they are certifiable.

      He literally doesn’t understand how anything works at all ever.

      It plays well with his authoritarian base, it probably won’t play well with everyone else.

      But to be fair, it can be compared to Hillary Clinton being proud of her friendship with Kissinger. It didn’t play well for Clinton, either.
