June Presidential Debate
- Thread starter kmgilroy89
- Start date
He only wants the cultists for their votes , he doesn't even care about how thrilled they now are with his lies. He is complaining that Dems and Independents are not treating him like he is now their hero.
Trump unhappy he's not getting enough praise for his 'fantastic' debate performance
On Saturday morning, Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform to claim, without a shred of evidence, that he was "fantastic" when he took on President Joe Biden during Thursday night's first 2024 presidential debate.
Despite multiple commentators stating Biden lost the debate more than the former president won it with what CNN claimed were over 30 documented lies, Trump asserted that his appearance was universally acclaimed, going so far as to say some unnamed commentators asserted that he "had the greatest debate performance in the long and storied history of Presidential Debates."
Specifically, Trump wrote, "As I walked off the stage on Thursday night, at the end of the highly anticipated 'Debate,' anchors, political reporters and all screamed that I had had the greatest debate performance in the long and storied history of Presidential Debates. They all said, effectively, 'Trump was fantastic!'"
He then complained that he was not getting continuing praise he claimed was being lavished on him later Friday.

You found one source, terrific.
The rest have moved to watching on Youtube and X etc.
I'm not a Newsom fan, but he actually did. And if you compare Newsom's performance to Biden's there's clearly zero contest. That's the reason many think he's a good fit to replace Biden. Many of the other names aren't battle-tested. Unlike this CNN debate, that debate was heavily biased in favor of DeSantis in terms of questioning. As an example, this was the first question of that debate:
"All right, as we speak, there is a phenomenon, it is playing out across the entire country. Americans, they are leaving blue states in droves in favor of red states. You can see numbers on the screen right now from the years 2021 and 2022. These particular numbers are stark in the state that you lead, in the case of you, Governor Newsom, according to the US Census, this is where the numbers come from. In 2021, 2022, California’s lost 750,000 residents to other states. Governor DeSantis, during that same two-year period, you gained 454,000 residents from other states. So Governor DeSantis, we had a coin toss, I was not part of it, I missed it, but apparently Governor Newsom, you won the coin toss and you chose to let Governor DeSantis have the first question."
So...the premise of the very first question immediately put Newsom on the defensive while giving DeSantis a layup to talk about how great his state is and why everybody wants to move there.
Yeah, I watched on CNN.com from Toronto. Do I count?
