The billionaire left nervously from the verbal clash after Kamala found his weak points
Democratic White House candidate Kamala Harris was able to use her opponent Donald Trump’s short temper to her advantage during a key campaign debate early Wednesday morning.
The much-anticipated verbal spat between Harris and Trump was a chance for the two to tarnish each other’s image, with Kamala the clear winner in this context. The Blue candidate imposed a strong presence from the moment she appeared, when she surprisingly walked up to Trump for a handshake. She introduced herself by name and told him, “Let’s have a good debate,” and he replied, “Nice to see you.” It is the first greeting between opponents since Trump and Hillary Clinton faced each other in 2016.
A handshake is more than a greeting, explained American author and former FBI agent Joe Navarro, specifying that it expresses politeness and respect for the other. With her action, Harris showed that she is not afraid to stand up to Trump. At first, however, the Democrat
can’t to hide the worry
si, which the difficult swallowing and tense muscles in her neck gave away. Trump was more level-headed, but as the conversation progressed, the two appeared to switch roles. The Republican never looked Harris in the eye for 2 hours. This can be interpreted as disrespect and indifference. Unlike him, Harris had no problem looking directly at him.
Kamala besides
it was discovered laughed at the republican
especially when his tone was extremely serious. This is a trick used by lawyers in court when they use humor to refute misleading claims. Harris probably learned it from her prosecutorial career. Trump, on the other hand, made obvious faces of displeasure, pursing his lips and smiling wryly. In contrast to the beginning, the end of the verbal battle ended with Trump’s unceremonious exit from the stage. He hurried to leave before Harris had collected her notes, which clearly showed that he was not up for pleasantries, and also that he was rather nervous.
A fact-checker, meanwhile, found that Trump made more than 30 false statements during the debate, while Harris made just one. In the words of the Democrat, there were some misleading statements or ones that lack key context.
Kamala managed to get under the Republican’s skin. She had braced herself for Trump’s attacks, and her every response was intended to shake him. She claimed world leaders were laughing at him, called him “weak”, talked about his legal problems and described his rallies as boring and small. That made Trump
more than once yes went outside control,
even amid efforts by ABC moderators to guide the debate and ask questions.
Key topics were the US economy, illegal immigrants, foreign policy and conservation. In his campaign, Trump often used the narrative that millions of illegal immigrants from prisons and asylums were coming to the US, which was the fault of the Biden administration – a claim that is not based on facts. He did not hold back and during the debate he made statements that were frankly conspiratorial. “They eat cats and dogs in Springfield. They
they eat the house ones favorites to the people
who live there,” Trump said, referring to Haitian migrants.
Trump also spoke falsely about inflation: “We have the worst inflation in the history of our nation.” Although it did peak at 9.1% at the start of Biden’s term, it has fallen to 3.3% in mid-2024. “Donald Trump has no plan for you,” Harris criticized.
The billionaire also tried to attack Harris regarding the war in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip. “Now Putin is standing in Moscow happy. She had to negotiate with Putin and Zelensky, and three days later the war started,” the Republican pointed out and once again stated that if he was president, the war would end. “Our NATO allies are grateful that you are no longer president. Otherwise, Putin would be sitting in Kiev. Putin is a dictator who will eat you for breakfast,” Harris replied sharply.
Trump was asked by the moderators about his comment about the vice president of the United States from August, when he said that she had only recently started identifying as “black”. “I don’t care one bit. Whatever it wants to be, that’s fine with me.” Harris attacked him, saying it was tragic “that we have someone who wants to be president who has consistently throughout his career tried to use race to divide the American people.” The two also clashed over the issue of abortion, with Trump again using claims without facts and saying that some states
allow the performance of abortions after birth
of a baby. However, this was verified at the time by the moderators: “There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after its birth.”
While many analysts believe Harris has won the verbal battle, the Republican doesn’t think so. “This was my best debate,” said Donald Trump.
