    Nice. Harris: “World leaders laugh at you including military people I’ve talked to who work with you.” (Again, a paraphrase.)

      Trump: “Viktor Orban is a tough person and smart. They said why is the whole world blowing up? It wasn’t 3 years ago. Orban said it’s because China and North Korea and Russia were afraid of Trump. I ended the Nord Stream II pipeline but Biden put it back. He ended the XL pipeline but let the Russians do that. Viktor Orban said the most respected most feared person was Trump and we had no problems when he was president. Biden got millions of votes and they threw her out of office. Here’s a secret: he hates her. She got zero votes.”

    Trump on the election: “I don’t acknowledge I lost in 2020. I said it sarcastically when I said I lost. There’s so much proof. They should have sent it back to the legislature. I got the most votes. People should never think an election is a fraud. We need a wall and we need elections. They are trying to get illegal immigrants to vote. No judge said we had standing on the election fraud cases, that’s a technicality. Can you believe that? I was the president! You do an ABC special on it. We have facts and statistics. But that’s old news and we need to solve the problem right now because we have a nation in decline and it is dying.”

      It’s clear they’re trying so hard to lean on the illegal voting. He’s hammering it because he told Mike Johnson to shut down the government and I don’t know who chose the plan of attack for why to shut it down, but he’s trying to stay on the message they chose and is absolutely flailing.

      It’s all a ploy to back up their upcoming shutdown. I’m glad to hear it sounds like its going down like a torpedo.

    Trump on Afghanistan: “If you take a look at when I was president, the Taliban killed lots of our soldiers with snipers. I got involved with them because they’re the fighting force. And Abdul is the head of the Taliban and I told Abdul not to do it anymore and he asked why I sent him a picture of his house and I told him to figure that out. Mike Pompeo negotiated the exit, but we wouldn’t have done it the way Biden did it. They left beautiful new equipment behind. They didn’t do what the agreement said. It was terminated because they didn’t do. They did the worst withdrawal and in my opinion the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country and that’s why Russia attacked Ukraine.”

        Yes. They’ve been pushing this crazy racist lie that Haitians in Ohio are eating people’s pets.

          My spouse was looking into it and apparently it stems from an American citizen who did something to their own dog. So they are trying to spin some crazy citizen as being done by the people he uses to rile up the racist voters.

      The fact that there are any Americans who want to vote for somebody dumb enough to believe something wholeheartedly just because he saw it on TV is real rough.

    Trump on the peaceful transfer of power and January 6th: “I told people to be peaceful and patriotic when they were rioting and no one was killed on their side, but Ashley Babbit was shot by an evil cop and the rioters were treated badly. What about the killers coming over the border? She was the border czar, but she doesn’t want to be called that because she’s embarrassed about it. When are they going to be prosecuted? They’re coming from all over the world, not South America and crime is down all over the world. When are they going to be prosecuted? What about the people who burned down Minneapolis? What about the people who took over a large amount of Seattle!”

    Moderator: “Do you regret what happened?”

    Trump: “I just showed up to make a speech and I went to Nancy Pelosi and the mayor of D.C. and I said- it wasn’t a riot by me- and I said I’d like to give you the national guard and they both rejected me and her daughter has a tape saying she was responsible for what happened. It was their fault because she was responsible for security.”

      Nice. He just can’t accept any level of responsibility for anything ever. To a sane person, this is a terrible response.

      Trump rebuts the sane responses by Harris on January 6th: “It was a different term and it was a term that was related to energy because they destroyed our energy business. Fox News people proved that I never praised Nazis in Charlottesville. You talk about the Capitol: Why are we allowing illegals in? Let’s leave this debate right now and go down to Washington D.C. and let her sign a bill to close up the border because they have the right to do it. They don’t need bills. You wake up the president because he’ll be asleep to go sign a bill and if they do that, the border is closed. Those people are killing many people, not January 6th.”

      Yes, he doesn’t know that congress passes bills.
