Trump on Israel/Gaza and how he would negotiate to get the hostages out and end the war: "If I were president, it wouldn't have happened. Russia- I know Putin very well- wouldn't have gone into Ukraine. All of the sudden, she hates Israel! She wouldn't meet with Netanyahu because she was at a sorority party. She hates Israel. If she is president, I will predict Israel will not exist in two years. I am good at predictions. She also hates Arabs because the whole place will blow up. It would have never happened. Iran was broke under Trump, now they have $3 billion because they took down my sanctions. Now they are paying terrorists. They are spheres of terror. They had no money. ABC covered it well. Now they are a rich nation and now they are spreading that money around. Look at what's happened with the 'hooties' and Yemen. Look at the middle east. If I'm president-elect, I will get it done before I become president."

Trump rebuttal to Harris explaining why Trump is a disgrace on national security: "She's the one that caused it. That's weak on national security. 168 countries sent people into our country. Their crime rates were way down. Putin endorsed her and I believe it. It wouldn't have happened with me. World leaders think they're incompetent. I have a question: why did Biden kill the Keystone Pipeline and allow the Nord Stream Pipeline? Because he's weak."

If ANYONE thinks Trump came out on top in this debate, they are certifiable.

If ANYONE thinks Trump came out on top in this debate, they are certifiable.

Remember, him rambling and embarrasing himself for rational people is just him doing what he does at his rallies.
