Shortly after Tuesday night’s contentious debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris ended Tuesday night, he declared the event was his “best debate ever,” considering he was also sparring with the event’s ABC News moderators.
“I thought that was my best Debate, EVER, especially since it was THREE ON ONE!” Trump posted on his Truth Social account.
During the debate, moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis often fact-checked Trump on his answers, leading several Republicans to push back before the debate wrapped up.
Ric Grenell, former acting Director of National Intelligence in the Trump administration, told Newsmax on Tuesday that Muir and Davis proved “to these millions of people that the media are out to get Donald Trump. We couldn’t have scripted this better. Both moderators were so over the top attacking Trump and not attacking [Harris].”
Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., echoing the contentions of many Republicans Tuesday night, told reporters that the debate was “three-on-one. They continued to engage in so-called fact-checking of Donald Trump. They never did that to Kamala Harris,” reports Politico.
The moderators frequently clapped back at Trump for his statements, including his repeating of accusations that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, are killing and eating pets; his claims that Democrat-run states allow infants to be killed after birth, and his arguments about crime rates.
Davis, meanwhile, confronted Harris over her flip-flopping on key issues including fracking, and about why the Biden-Harris administration waited until shortly before the election to bring executive actions on the border.
In another Truth Social post, coming after midnight, Trump compared the matchup he had just had with Harris to a prizefight after the Democrat nominee’s campaign called for a second debate.
“Comrade Kamala Harris is going around wanting another Debate because she lost so badly – Just look at the Polls!” he wrote. “It’s true with prizefighters, when they lose a fight, they immediately want another. MAGA2024.”
He added images of several polls to back up his contention, including a snap poll from Newsmax showing 93% of viewers thought he won the debate, compared to 6% for Harris.
In other polls Trump posted, C-SPAN showed 64% of viewers thought Trump won, with 36% calling the match for Harris; Insider Paper gave Trump the nod by 78% to 13%; and The Daily Caller gave Trump 73%, Harris 8%, and the moderators 19%.
Trump campaign adviser Chris LaCivita said the campaign would support a second debate, commenting that the Harris campaign wants another contest as it needs “cleanup.”

Tko je pobijedio na Raspravi: Trump ili Haris?
Trump: To je bila moja najbolja debata ikada

Ubrzo nakon što je u utorak navečer rasprava između bivšeg predsjednika Donalda Trumpa i potpredsjednice Kamale Harris završila u utorak navečer, on je izjavio da je ta njegova rasprava bila “najbolja debata ikad”, s obzirom na to da je također bila boksačka utakmica s voditeljima moderatora na ABC Newsu.
“Mislio sam da je to bila moja najbolja debata IKAD, pogotovo jer je bila TRI NA JEDAN!” Trump je objavio na svom Truth Social računu.
Tijekom rasprave, moderatori David Muir i Linsey Davis često su provjeravali činjenice o Trumpovim odgovorima, zbog čega je nekoliko republikanaca odstupilo prije nego što je rasprava završila.
Ric Grenell, bivši vršitelj dužnosti direktora Nacionalne obavještajne službe u Trumpovoj administraciji, rekao je u utorak za Newsmax da su Muir i Davis dokazali “ovim milijunima ljudi da mediji žele pridobiti Donalda Trumpa. Nismo ovo mogli bolje napisati. Oba moderatora toliko su pretjerali napadajući Trumpa, a ne napadajući [Harrisa].”
Senator Tom Cotton, R-Ark., ponavljajući tvrdnje mnogih republikanaca u utorak navečer, rekao je novinarima da je debata bila “tri na jedan. Nastavili su se baviti takozvanom provjerom činjenica o Donaldu Trumpu. Nikada nisu to činili Kamali Harris”, prenosi Politico.
Moderatori su često uzvraćali Trumpu na njegove izjave, uključujući njegovo ponavljanje optužbi da haićanski imigranti u Springfieldu, Ohio, ubijaju i jedu domaće žiotinje; njegove tvrdnje da države kojima upravljaju demokrati dopuštaju ubijanje novorođenčadi nakon rođenja i njegovi argumenti o stopama kriminala.
Davis se, u međuvremenu, suočio s Harrisom zbog njezinog neuspjeha u ključnim pitanjima, uključujući i ekspolozivna, i o tome zašto je Biden-Harrisova administracija čekala malo prije izbora da donese izvršne mjere na granici.
U drugom nastupu na Truth Socialu, iza ponoći, Trump je usporedio raspravu koju je upravo imao s Harrisom s borbom za nagrade nakon što je kampanja demokratskog kandidata pozvala na drugu debatu, tj. raspravu.
“Drugarica Kamala Harris ide okolo i želi još jednu raspravu jer je tako teško izgubila – Pogledajte samo ankete!” napisao je. “Istina je s igračima za pobjedu i nagrade, kada oni izgube borbu, onda oni odmah žele drugu utakmicu. MAGA2024.”
Dodao je slike nekoliko anketa kako bi potkrijepio svoju tvrdnju, uključujući brzu anketu s Newsmaxa koja pokazuje da 93% gledatelja misli da je on pobijedio u debati, u usporedbi sa 6% za Harrisa.
U drugim anketama koje je Trump objavio, C-SPAN je pokazao da 64% gledatelja misli da je Trump pobijedio, dok je 36% smatralo Harrisovu partiju; Insider Paper dao je Trumpu prednost sa 78% prema 13%; i The Daily Caller dali su Trumpu 73%, Harrisu 8%, a moderatorima 19%.
Savjetnik Trumpove kampanje Chris LaCivita rekao je da će kampanja podržati drugu debatu, komentirajući da Harrisova kampanja želi još jedno natjecanje jer im treba “čišćenje”.
