As soon as she said small crowd size and low energy people leaving early he lost it lol
It was such obvious bait, I was a bit shocked that he took it!
I wasn’t shocked at all (except the general shock that a person like this has ever come close to the presidency). Particularly in recent years, I’ve seen him take bait so many times which wasn’t even intended as bait, but it triggered him. And because it slightly grazed his fragile ego, priority number one for him is to go on an ego-defending tangent that only confuses and undermines any points he could have made about the actual topic.
Harris knew that as long as she peppered her responses with a trigger here and a trigger there, he would be unable to help himself every time. And that’s what we saw.
Yeah I don't understand how people are still surprised by this either. He is an unrepentant, raging malignant narcissist. He physically - biologically! - cannot resist defending his ego when challenged.
The entire reason he ran in the first place was because Obama made a joke about him in a speech, and it embarrassed him.
I'm more shocked that Democrats haven't tried to bait him this way much before. It's not hard to get him to prattle on about nothing while you look like the grown-up in the room.
"When they go low, we go high" 😑
Ahh, right, that shit that sounded nice but didn't work.
It’d work if Americans weren’t morons. But we are so we go low now
Only took us 8 years to figure out
“When they go low, we ~~go~~ give them a high knee”
Really? You were shocked? Lol
