LOS ANGELES.–No one in the history of presidential debates has been insulted over 90 minutes more than Trump. ABC News proved its undeniable bias against 78-year-old former President Donald Trump, letting 59-year-old Vice President Kamala Harris deliver fake rehearsed insults against Trump, giving zero substance on any issue, other that attacking Trump for the entire debate. So, when it comes to how the media elites decide who won, it about who got rattled or reacted to 90 minutes of insults. Kamala was well coached in how to get under Trump’s skin by insulting him for the entire debate, while giving voters nothing of any substance on any subject other that vague platitudes about her “opportunity economy.” Kamala has no plan, as Trump said, only rehearsed Democrat talking points. Kamala threw everything but the kitchen sink at Trump last night but said nothing of substance.
All voters got last night, especially Trump-haters, was an insult fest, watching her deliver rehearsed lines, all with the intent of getting Trump rattled. So, when finally, Trump barely reacted, the media elites said now we’ve got him, that fake “gotcha moment.” But did Kamala really accomplish her goal or getting through 90 minutes, wasting her time dancing around the ring, throwing feckless punches and answering no questions about what she’s do with the economy or the very dangerous U.S. foreign policy? Trump pointed out that 81-year-old President Joe Biden is missing in action, yet continues to make national security decisions on Ukraine, giving 46-year-old Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky the right to use long-range missiles to attack the Russian homeland. ABC’s debate moderators barely spent a minute on the Ukraine War that threatens world peace.
ABC News exposed for all to see what they did to help a weak candidate muddle her way through the debate. No respectable journalist should have tolerated Kamala’s campaign speeches in a 90 minute debate, rather than responding to questions of her policies on urgent topics including the sputtering U.S. economy and dangerous war in Ukraine. All Kamala could say about the Ukraine War is old Hillary talking points of Trump being a “Putin puppet.” Where’s U.S. foreign policy now that Joe and Kamala have taken on the Kremlin in an existential war with the fake pretext of protecting Ukrainian democracy? Ukraine has never been a democracy and isn’t one now under martial law. Kamala promises more war, more drain on the U.S. treasury while she contemplates how to give away tax payer dollars to first time homebuyers to explode an already inflated federal budget deficit.
Where’s the media scrutiny about the urgent issues facing the country? Kamala insulted Trump for 90 minutes, something never done before in any U.S. presidential debate. Where’s the outrage that she answered not a single question of any substance on what she plans to do to promote prosperity or world peace. All Kamala could say was that Trump has inappropriate relations with dictators around the world, repeating Hillary’s fake talking points. Kamala was coached by Hillary’s old consultants who put Kamala on steroids to go after Trump with a vengeance. Over-the-hill strategists like 80-year-old James Carville could not have cackled louder watching Kamala insult Trump for 90-minutes. But what did the country get other than Kamala’s bad acting performance?
Trump was actually quite contained and civil raising all the objections to a Kamala presidency, certainly from an economic and foreign policy view. What’s the country supposed to do if Russia hits Kiev with a nuke because Zelensky continues to push the conflict into WW III or nuclear War? Kamala would then start firing nukes at Russia, starting a thermonuclear war to end civilization as we know it? Kamala showed she has no plan for the economy or foreign policy other than more of the same, more war in Ukraine, Middle East and next to start a war with China over Ukraine. Russia announced today its military alliance with Communist China, all because of the Ukraine War and U.S. meddling in the South China Sea and Taiwan Strait. What’s Kamala going to do about that?
Everyone that hates Trump was treated to 90 minutes of insults but no substance from the Democrat nominee. Kamala showed she’s a good actor feigning outrage over Roe v. Wade but showed no awareness of the economy or clear-and-present dangers to U.S. democracy. More warmongering by Biden-Harris could eventually start WW III, with Russia and China joining forces to preserve their interests in Eastern Europe and the Indo-Pacific region. So, when it comes to world events, as Trump said, the world is on fire because of Biden-Harris utter incompetence, promising more of the same if Kamala gets into the White House. ABC News blew a real opportunity to help voters see the real contrast between Trump and Kamala but instead treated the Trump-hating crowd to a 90-minute hazing session, letting Democrats indulge their fantasies.
