So much for his insistence on changing the venue.
The Harris troll of him deflecting while overdubbing chickens clucking was the chef’s kiss.
NotThe One
LOL! VP Harris is playing Trump like a fiddle.
Trump is projecting again like when he announced that he agreed with FOXNEWS to have a debate on Sept. 4 to pressure VP Harris into a disadvantaged situations. A convicted felon is less likely to outsmart a competent trial prosecutor!
Trump is OLD and WEIRD!
TaiwanIsNotChina
Thank the lord. We need as little Trump as possible.

How hard is it for adults to have a calm and respectful discussion where they each give the other person time to speak and express their thoughts.
What a schoolyard.
bass4funk
Rules are you, you made them, don't change them, and stop flip-flopping all the time. Muted mics, no notes, the end.
dagon
The fear and trembling from Trump is palpable.
How does MAGA believe he is strong?
I'll make the claim, backed by the evidence of Harris' past Senate investigation hearings, that this will be an epic embarrassing grilling of Trump.
lincolnman
That's today...at 5:25AM...give him an hour and he will have completely FLIP-FLOPPED again...like;
1) Yes, I'll debate Biden
2) No, I won't debate Harris
3) I'll debate Harris but it has to be on Fox
4) OK, I'll debate Harris on ABC
5) No, I won't debate Harris on ABC
6) OK, I'll debate Harris on ABC if the mics are turned on
Stand by for flips #7, 8, 9, and 10....
FlipMasterFunk...
bass4funk
No, she flipped and changed the rules first.
Just stick to the original rules that YOU pushed for during the CNN debate and abide by them, that's it.
lincolnman
Thanks for posting all my examples of Trump's debate flips...glad you agree with them...
Why did he flip six different times so far?
And speaking of flips, did you see Trump's HUUGE flip on abortion yesterday - HE'S NOW COPIED HARRIS AND THE DEMS POSITION....
"Donald Trump attempted to strike a new tone on the issue of abortion this week, saying he would be “great for women and their reproductive rights” — to the frustration of anti-abortion advocates.
https://www.politico.com/news/2024/08/24/trump-abortion-reactions-00176276
So trump is now GUARANTEEING he'll support a woman's right to make her own medical decisions...
Life begins at conception? Protecting the unborn? ALL SURRENDERED and Trump's view on abortion is the same as the radical Leftist Libs...
You agree with him? Is Trump betraying you on the sanctity of life enough for you to dump him?
Blacklabel
And there’s our winner, Trump.
no changing the rules.
But good luck to Kamala in her taped and edited joint interview on CNN.
she gonna bring Walz to the debate too?
bass4funk
Ok, so now to the issue of crime and immigration, does Kamala have any answers or solutions to the most pressing issues that are so deeply important to Americans? Killing babies won't keep my community safe of pay my bills.
lincolnman
You're "OK" with Trump copying the Dems position on abortion - him saying he'll be great for "REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS" - the same thing HARRIS IS SAYING?
Thanks for admitting again Trump is for "murdering children in the womb"...and it's certainly illuminating that you think that isn't as important as the price of a Big Mac...I have a feeling a large majority of evangelicals disagree with you...
Once again, we are given proof of MAGA-world's complete emptiness...after saying for years that their No.1 policy issue was "protecting the unborn", that has been rejected and replaced with "reproductive rights"...the exact same position as the hated radical Libs...
Makes you wonder what radical Leftist position MAGA-world will copy next...
theFu
Trump will throw out so many lies in the first 10 seconds of his time that Harris would be a fool to say anything about other than "Donald, check your facts" then move on to her policy statements. It isn't worth responding bogus, but authentic-sounding lies.
There's actually a name for this type of debating. "Gish Gallop" is the debate style.
Learn more: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/trumps-weird-debate-strategies-come-from-creationist-tactics/
Of course, if Harris tries the same tactic, Trump will just say they are all establishment lies and his base won't look any further. They choose to be uninformed and there's nothing that can be done about those people.
bass4funk
He will be fine, they won't go to Harris, no worries there.
So what about Kamala's stance on the economy and why would she be so stupid as to declare war on the police now she doesn't have their backing, not good at all.
None, that would be Harris...no tax on tips?? That's like a Republican claiming, they want to dismantle all private insurance companies..lib logic. Lol
sunfunbun
This should be fun when Kamala or the host brings it up and Donald will answer something weirdly irrelevant about pickles on Big Macs, and perhaps singing the 70’s jingle, while dancing with his hands…2 all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles on a sesame seed bun.
‘You know I made that song up. People don’t know, but I gave them that song and they responded by allowing me to eat them whenever I want.’
plasticmonkey
Crime is way down from the Trump years. That’s a demonstrable fact.
As for immigration, Harris has policy proposals. You can read about them if you like, or you can hear her at the debate. Let’s not forget how Trump ordered a bipartisan bill on its way to being ratified killed in order to not give the Dems a win in an election year. Trump wants the border issue as a political tool. He’s not interested in solutions, and Harris will hammer him with that
And she’ll make an ass out of Trump if he starts blabbering about “migrant crime wave” or thousands and thousands of terrorists and mental patients streaming across the border. These things are fictions pure and simple.
plasticmonkey
Well, she didn’t. She was proposing a more balanced approach to community safety. She never supported the stupid “defund” movement. Only those who are misinformed and lack nuanced understanding of the issue think she ever did.
All cops in the U.S. hate Harris. 100% of them. I saw it on tee-vee.
lincolnman
Doubt it - some MAGA-fans have principles they'll stand up for - others like some who post here surrender and dump theirs.... Which are you? Life begin at conception?
Uh-huh - what do you think of Trump copying a core value of the "radical Leftist agenda"?
Are you for "reproductive rights"? Trump said he would protect them - the same as Kamala...
Once again, he's betrayed you on protecting the unborn and adopted a clear radical leftist policy that in your own words "murders children".
Still sticking with him?
Blacklabel
oh?
rcch
and Candidates cannot bring notes, or 'cheat sheets.'
Sorry, Kamala. Lmao—
She can’t hold press conferences, debate or give interviews. Facts. I just saw her answer a simple question about race relations in the US and it was cringy af and she didn’t answer the question—I mean, no wonder they don’t let her do press conferences or interviews but hey,
apparently she will be interviewed by a) Dana Bash from CNN, b) it’ll be pre recorded (scripted, that’s right) and c) she won’t even be alone, she’ll have Walz by her side to protect her, SMDH (which means it’s a TV show, not an interview). This woman is not fit to be President.
lincolnman
Read that statement a couple of times...and let it sink in....
Our MAGA-friend is saying that the murdering of children in the womb is less important then shoplifting or the price of a gallon of milk...
Remember when MAGA-world was all saying the "the sanctity of life is preeminent", "protecting the unborn is our sworn Christian duty", "we will never surrender to the forces of evil that don't believe that life begins at conception"....
Now? "Raise the surrender flag - who cares about killing babies, as long as I can afford my new pickup truck"...
So Trump has now adopted the radical leftist view on abortion - it's all about a woman's "reproductuve rights" and no longer about the "rights of the unborn"...
Wanna guess how many true MAGA-believers and Christian evangelicals that will turn off? A LOT...at least the ones that have any self-respect left...
plasticmonkey
She agreed that cities need to look at smarter ways to budget for making communities safer. For example, sending mental health professionals into situations where cops are not equipped to effectively deal. She never said she wants to defund the police.
bass4funk
And they are leaving the Democrat party and joining MAGA and the establishment Republicans are retiring or losing their seats, so thanks to the voters with principles.
I am focused on crime and illegals as well as the border.
plasticmonkey
lol
And she’s a Marxist who wants to take away your cheeseburger. And she slept her way to the top.
bass4funk
Wrong crime is way up.
Now, she does??? Why didn't she go to the border after being appointed to border Czar chief?
You can read about them if you like,
More of her BS excuse? I know every word she said, one was "There is no such thing as illegal aliens." Is she nuts?
Which would have done nothing to fix the current problem.
Trump is interested in solutions, finish the wall and send illegals back, pretty simple.
If she has notes and a teleprompter, maybe.
Which is true.
Again, true and none she can refute.
bass4funk
Huh? She absolutely did.
Constraining from police doing their jobs, now the current is swamped with gangs and thugs terrorizing the nation, particularly in all the big cities. I mean, her story-telling VP nominee stood by and allowed these low levels to burn down a police station and he did nothing.
She did.
https://x.com/CortesSteve/status/1821952478130123108
No, her words, or are you saying without police presence there is another way? Tell us, please. Lol
Pretty much, that's why they don't and won't support her.

Good thing for us, we have video archives. Phew...
lol
Can't argue that.....
lincolnman
What are your principles - does life begins at conception? Are you for guaranteeing a woman's "reproductuve rights" like Trump is now?
And not on "protecting the unborn" as you've stated in several recent posts...
Why have you caved and surrendered on the sanctity of life? Why is "murdering children in the womb" no longer a "focus" for you?
wallace
How many Republicans won't vote to have a felon in the WH?
wallace
It is 2024, not 2020. Don't matter what was said then.
plasticmonkey
Your opinion and the facts are diametrically opposed. Show me statistics of crime being up.
You’ve got some evidence for this blanket assertion?
lol, this is mind-bogglingly idiotic fiction from the mind of DJT.
Perhaps you too are confused about the meaning of “asylum seeker”.
Sounds like a winning campaign strategy. Keep it up!
Some dude
I'm curious about the whole "notes" issue. On a matter that's potentially as important as a presidential debate, what's the issue with having notes to refer to? I would have thought that was a sign of preparedness, knowing what kind of issues might come up, what kind of questions might be asked, what kind of attacks the other side might come up with, and so on.
Course you might not need notes when your presumed strategy is to just lie your way through the debate and ignore any attempts at moderation, but for someone who's going to take the debate seriously, I don't get the obsession with "no notes".
wallace
Why is crime lower during Biden's term than Trump's?
Joe Biden is correct that violent crime is near a 50-year low
Republicans have argued that Biden is responsible for high levels of crime. He has responded by saying that violent crime has fallen. He's right.
https://www.poynter.org/reporting-editing/2024/crime-rate-up-or-down-united-states/

US stats show violent crime dramatically falling, so why is there a rising clash with perception?
"I don't believe the statistics," said Auriol Sonia Morris, a Trump supporter.
https://abcnews.go.com/US/us-stats-show-violent-crime-dramatically-falling-rising/story?id=108042096
bass4funk
Because the left and the FBI hid the true stats.
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/fairness-justice/2953562/bad-data-from-the-fbi-mislead-about-crime/
If you want to believe him and believe that is is fit as a fiddle, cognitively a genius, go ahead. Free world.
Yes, he is as well as the border. Biden did say, the buck stops with the President and wanted Trump to take responsibility for things he screwed up, fair enough, so Biden needs to not BS and take his own advice.
Drastically up actually.
About how a lot of libs have been conducting their polling, don't sugarcoat and cherry-pick her words, she was very specific, don't even go there.
bass4funk
You mean, the left's mental denial, probably.
Blacklabel
What I know was nationally Biden was ahead by 7.1 and Hillary by 6.3 at this point in 2020 and 2016.
Kamala isn’t.
