YOU can tell who won the US presidential debate by the fury of the commentators on the side of Donald Trump. When their champion kept failing to land a blow on Kamala Harris, they turned their anger on the television debate hosts and wailed about the unfairness of it all.
“One of the most biased, unfair debates I have ever seen.”
“The worst moderated debate in history.”
“The ABC moderators are clearly shilling for Harris.”
“A political assassination attempt by the corporate media.”
Talk about displacement activity. Harris put Trump off his stride from the moment she came onstage and forced the world’s biggest germophobe to shake her hand. In her high heels and dark suit, the 5ft 4in vice-president did more than stand up to the 6ft 3in former president — she towered over him. Trump’s face was a mask of sullen resentment as Harris drove her stilettos into the most sensitive parts of his anatomy. In short, she kicked him in the balls.
There were moments of tension for Harris . Sometimes her answers appeared too scripted, at other times her mouth went dry from nerves. Yet before long Trump was screaming, “They’re eating the pets!” and spouting a fake news story about Haitian immigrants in Ohio eating dogs and cats (he forgot to mention ducks). He had lost the plot. The Drudge Report promptly posted “The End” beneath a picture of Trump in his private plane with a Bondlike white cat on his lap, surrounded by other felines and a beady-eyed duck. Trump had become what he most feared: a laughing stock.
