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.

Introducing herself so he can hear the pronunciation! We know you heard it now put some respect on it! Genius!😂😂

Total Alpha move 🎉 She dominated him immediately

[gwynfrynevans]

Her handshake was a master stroke which immediately gave her the upper hand. We don’t know and we shall never know whether Trump’s plan was to shake HER hand but she immediately upstaged him, even straying into his half of the space to introduce herself. He made a massive mistake in inviting her to have fun because, did she ever? I think the appropriate phrase is ‘Making hay while the sun shines.’

he said "have fun" 😂😂 and she sure did!!!

Kamala is said to wear an earing with a hearing device. Is that allowed in a debate?

[yaakw]

This is not about Trump’s and Kamala’s personality. This is about our declining country. We need to put Trump back to the WH to make this America great and safe again!

Would you help woman with MRKH. Syndrome to have that chance do you have kids ❤❤

[DSlav]

I think he was caught off guard by that. Quite frankly I think that she got to him the entire night. Her comments on his crowd sizes (or lack thereof) were legendary. Saying that people leave and get bored....lmfao. that's priceless. I also love that she said her name loud, calling him out on the times he intentionally mispronounced her name. Love it. Love it. Love it

Kamala, you go girl. Honestly..Do your thing. As my brother says to me "kill it"

[franktossou]

TRUMP, TRUMP
OUR NEXT PRESIDENT
YOU ARE THE BEST

[kingdedede]

As if everyone doesn’t already know her name, it’s a fking calculated stunt to make her seem holier than thou. All that is.
