TRUMP CLAIMS HE WON PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE ‘BY A LOT’ AND THAT TAYLOR SWIFT WILL ‘PAY THE PRICE’ FOR ENDORSING HARRIS

Donald Trump has called for ABC to lose their broadcasting license after the way the network moderated last night’s TV debate. Saying the network took “a big hit last night”, Trump said “They have to be licensed to do it. They ought to take away their license for the way they did that. I think they lost a lot of credibility.”

He told viewers of Fox and Friends that he had polls showing he had won the debate “by 80-20, 90, we we have one here, 92 to seven. And I sort of believe that’s right”. Trump did not name the polls.

He continued his attack on ABC, saying “From the standpoint of ABC, they’re the most dishonest, in my opinion, the most dishonest news organization, and that’s saying a lot, because they’re all essentially really dishonest.”

He also managed to have a jibe at his hosts this morning, insisting that he would not want to do a debate on Fox if Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum were the moderators, and he said that Fox’s Harold Ford Jr must have been watching a different debate, and was “just as dishonest as ABC in my opinion.”

Trump claims he won presidential debate ‘by a lot’ and that Taylor Swift will ‘pay the price’ for endorsing HarrisDonald Trump is currently being interviewed on Fox and Friends. We will have more detail on that interview soon. But he has told the show that it was his “best ever” debate, and that he won it by “a lot”.He attacked the ABC news network and claimed “they kept correcting me”, saying that Kamala Harris told “outright lies” and was not corrected. In a familiar diatribe, he claimed the debate was “totally rigged”.“So many things I said were debunked, like totally debunked,” he told the news programme. “But she could say anything she wanted. My stuff was right, but they would correct you.” He accused ABC, without evidence, of being the “most dishonest news organisation” and that the debate was stacked against him.Responding to Taylor Swift announcing she would vote for the Harris campaign, he said: “She’s a very liberal person, she always seems to endorse a Democrat and she will probably pay the price for that in the market.”

During the debate, Donald Trump repeated an unsubstantiated claim that immigrants are eating pets in an Ohio town, forcing the moderator to tell him that there is no proof of that.“In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs, the people that came in, they’re eating the cats,” said Trump during the debate. “They’re eating the pets of the people that live there.”As Alice Herman reportsTrump’s claims about immigrants allegedly killing and eating the pets of US citizens originated, apparently, with a viral video of a resident of Springfield, Ohio, claiming before the town’s council that immigrants in the community had killed ducks from a local park for food. The unsubstantiated and inflammatory video was shared widely on rightwing accounts, evolving quickly into a viral meme featuring AI-generated images of Trump surrounded by cats and dogs, appearing to protect them.As our Fact Check makes clear:The story of migrants allegedly eating pets has circulated in rightwing media in recent days and been repeated by Trump’s running mate JD Vance. These are false and unsubstantiated claims.

The Harris-Walz campaign quickly capitalised on Taylor Swift’s support after she endorsed Kamala Harris for president in a post on Instagram.
