Trump Argues With Harris Over Rally Crowd Sizes at Debate

Kamala Harris staked her debate strategy on Tuesday night on trolling Donald Trump before a national TV audience, leaving her opponent on the back foot.

The Democratic presidential nominee baited her Republican opponent into defending his felony convictions, his wealth and his role in overturning the federal right to an abortion. She needled him about the enthusiasm of his rally crowds and his propensity for outlandish statements and conspiracy theories.

It took only minutes for the former president to validate her approach, with Trump diverting a discussion over immigration and border security into unfounded online rumors about undocumented migrants, who he said were now eating people’s pets in an Ohio suburb.

“The people that came in, they’re eating the cats. They’re eating the pets of the people that live there. And this is what’s happening in our country, and it’s a shame,” Trump said, even as one of the debate moderators, ABC News’ David Muir, noted that the claims were not true.

size matters, loosing size is a sign of health issues

[jamessummers]

Does any one remember the question that triggered this ramble?

[king_cousar]

Kamala Exact Thought in this moment was “Hooked, lined and sinkered!” 😂😂 The hand on the chin move was the best Gotcha moment I’ve seen in a while.

[debbienelson]

He is sooo unhinged and I’m sooo glad he showed himself (and she triggered him to). Scary, messed up man.

[pl]

Millions and millions 😂😂😂😂😂his favorite word? Or is it billions and billions and billions 😂😂😂😂😂

[strikerbowls]

This guy is a disgrace. So sick of him

[darnell]

Donald, people do leave your rallies, and you actually have some of the lowest attendance numbers at your rallies in history.
You are in denial about every aspect of your life.

[BigMac-eg]

He just digging his grave 😂but doesn’t know it yet .each lie gets him lower and lower till eventually he won’t be able to to get out😂

[GloriaOfford-dy]

When he goes on like this, it's sad, and in just being human, it's not difficult to feel sorry for him. Then you remember that he is dangerous, probably in the worst ways to restore his ego. Trump is an old, undeniable sick person.

[ivanedwards]

If we are a failing it is because of your leadership God help us all

[bobbysaikia]

It’s beyond appalling what these people talk about . We as common citizens are concerned about the economy, health care and as parents worry everyday when we send our kids to school that they return home alive !

[DanielDFreeman]

"I can't believe how well this is working." Kamala

[rdzqpfy]

She is a laughing hyena. The jokes on us.

[yfoog]

He needs serious medical and psychological help

[eekamouse-jslr]

Trump is obsessed with the size of things. I wonder why.

[stevehanson]

A strong, powerful leader would not have fallen into the traps Trump fell for during this debate. Easily triggered narcissists do not make the best decisions. Trump's fragile ego was never gonna understand that. 🤡

[PankajSharma-hbfk]

Balban in Mediaeval period in India and Bismarck of Germany in World History gives strong verdict on Purity of Blood and in 21st century Trump is repeating same verdict for America. All Democratic are Refugee

[jameskerr]

[wytrose]

YES THEY ARE. THE PEOPLE ARE ON THE NEWS LETTING PEOPLE KNOW
