I do believe Kamala was waiting for DT to approach her in the center to shake hands, like it usually happens in these debates. The second he didn't, she went straight to him.

Kamala: "If you have anything to say, say jt to my face!!"
But, Trump couldn't!!
But, She said it to his face!! 💯🤣

[Shea]

Didn't Kamala tell Trump if he had anything to say to say it to her face? Trump refused to shake Kamalas hands, or look her in the eyes. BUT, Kamala was like, " *Hold My Beer* if you can't shake my hand, I'll go over to your side, & shake your hand, if you can't look me in my eyes, I'll look dead straight at you.

Trump refusing to shake Kamalas hand, or look at Kamala was the example of a lying felon refusing to look at a tough Prosecutor who isn't afraid!! Who knew tough trump is scared of Kamala? I did!!. 💯 I couldn't say it to her face!!

[ExUSSailor]

She DEMOLISHED him! From the second she strode out onto that stage, and, forced him to shake hands, she was in control. It was truly glorious to watch!

[eurech]

Someone come get your unhinged grandpa, this is too sad to watch. Harris cooked him to crisp.

Kamala touched on everything. She did what Biden should have done. She appealed to the American people, put and kept Trump in his place and answered the questions coherently. What I most liked was when she told the American people HOW we got to where we are now which is VERY important. Now, Kamala and Dems need to get on all Republican platforms and reach the voters with these messages. It's time to take the fight to them.

When you start ranting about people eating dogs and cats, you've lost the debate. 😂😂😂

[sheldoncole]

kamala crushed him last night 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

[bweb]

Kamala Harris didn't just win that debate last night, she absolutely dog walked Donald Trump on that stage.

[jimmyboyzable]

Kamala STOMPED the crap out of old grumpy last night and it was GLORIOUS !!!! 😂😂😂😂

[cashaeleatemla]

The exchange set the tone for the 90-minute debate to come: Harris controlled the conversation at times, baiting Trump with jabs at his economic policy, his refusal to concede his 2020 election loss and even his performance at his rallies.

Trump, while measured early on, grew more annoyed as the night went on. And one significant moment played out after the two candidates left the stage, when megastar Taylor Swift said she’ll vote for Harris.

[norasalibian]

Everyone forgets she is not the President yet. Don’t blame her for things you don’t like about Biden.

[nicolehernandez]

She beat him so bad last night he had to shake her hand this morning at the 9/11 memorial.

[TraderRobin]

The moment when Trump mentioned the eating of our laughed so loud, it SCARED MY CAT!!

[marapylypiv]

Can we talk about his closing statement?! Horrendous! She left the country with hope and joy. He didn’t have a prepared statement and spent his time attacking her.

[Shea]

Trump: "THEY'RE EATING THE DOGS, CATS, THEY'RE EATING THE PETS!! 🤣🤣

[Woke]

Vote blue 💙🔵💙 Kamala Harris -Tim walz. Donald Trump didn't have a healthcare plan

[Mrchickenwing]

If he’s so concerned about people eating animals, why did he so openly welcome RFK Jr. into to campaign? Dude tried to eat and skin a bear…

[IMHTP]

Donald's performance was thoroughly embarrassing last night. But it's his fault--he didn't prepare properly, and Kamala did. His ego and arrogance allowed him to overestimate his own intelligence and competence, and he failed bigly. Kamala had him sweating. 😓🤡

[TheLsd]

The experienced top prosecutor slam dunked the crazy clueless felon 💙
