‘The moment that broke Trump’: Ex-president’s new Fox News interview reply stuns observers
Donald Trump was interviewed by Brian Kilmeade on Fox News, and the video was published Saturday night. One of the former president’s answers had observers scratching their heads.
Trump was asked during the interview about what kind of an opponent he saw in Vice President Kamala Harris after they faced off in a debate that most analysts say she won. Earlier in the day, Trump rejected Harris’ offer for a second debate, giving an excuse that was widely ridiculed online.
During the Fox News interview, Trump gave a surprising response about the strength of his debate performance.
“Well, I thought that she had a debate which was interesting, because she wasn’t answering any questions,” Trump said. “And I thought it was a great debate for me. I thought it was one of my best debates that I’ve ever had. And some people disagreed, but I felt it was the strongest debate I ever had.”
The interview answer raised eyebrows with many viewers.
Former NBA and University of Kentucky player Rex Chapman said, “You can’t win a debate if you won’t look at the other candidate the entire night. At all. Not once. Scared. The whole world saw it. Couldn’t even look at her. She eyeballed him all night long and talked s— while doing it. Took his heart. Soft.”
Conservative Army Iraq War Veteran Peter Henlein said that “the debate may go down as the moment that broke Trump.”
Writer and podcaster Hemant Mehta said, “Then you would think he’d leap at the chance to destroy her in a debate once again…”
Brian Tyler Cohen, a provider of political commentary, said, “It was so ‘strong’ that he’s literally afraid to get on the stage with her again.”
Geographer Linda Stevens replied, “Narcissists are delusional. They make up alternate realities to fit their warped views of themselves.”
“They have to if they don’t, they collapse,” she added Saturday.
