2024 Presidential Debate: What Sh*it Will He Pull Now?
Kamala Harris and Don Trump square off
The final 2024 presidential debate is shaping up to be a great watch. These things used to be boring affairs until Don Trump came along, I’ll give him that much.
A couple of old rich white politicians debating policy for an hour or two? Mercy!
Obama changed my mind. A little. Such a charming, witty, well-informed man. Someone who could represent America credibly, putting forward the very best of all the Americans I know and love.
Still, my interest in US government policy is limited. Much as I love Obama, I’d rather see him discussing something I know and care about. His favourite books. His hobbies. His life philosophy.
Don Trump changed that
Let’s get one thing straight, right from the start. Trump couldn’t win a debate. He doesn’’t have the mental capacity, he doesn’t have the ability to apply reason and logic to expose the weaknesses of an opposing argument, he doesn’t have the memory to retrieve useful information when needed.
That guff about being able to brilliantly weave a dozen different threads into one dazzling whole? That’s BS…
