By Joan Westenberg in trump — Sep 11, 2024

🇺🇸 Trump's debate performance imploded as Harris dominated, leaving GOP insiders disappointed, with some questioning his fitness for office. His off-topic responses, including debunked claims about Haitians eating pets, exposed an unprepared candidate floundering against a sharper opponent. Despite Trump's self-praise, even loyalists like Graham admit the night was a disaster, potentially derailing the GOP's 2024 hopes.
