Debate Wrap Up: No One Has Ever So Thoroughly Dominated Donald Trump

She set a tone at the very start when she walked right into his space to shake his hand and made him almost pull back into himself in response. She was in charge and never stopped being in charge. 

Harris also managed what neither Joe Biden nor Hillary Clinton nor any of the 2016 Republicans managed to do which is successfully bait Donald Trump and get under his skin. Within a few minutes Trump was visibly angry and not in a way that empowered him but in a way that made him lose focus, go down rabbit holes and generally go off onto damaging tangents. Spittle anger, not righteous anger, shall we say.

Right off starts with BS.

She set a tone at the very start when she walked right into his space to shake his hand and made him almost pull back into himself in response. She was in charge and never stopped being in charge. 

Lol, that's not things work! What a stupid narrative... Trump knew exactly what he was doing by walking straight to his podium. He didn't even meet her halfway. He made her have to come over to him. That! is the power move. Making her have to come to him. THAT is what shows dominance. Harris displays no dominance and is going to appear weak to other world leaders, which will make America look weak.

She was never in charge. And she reaked of subservience.

She met him at his podium as soon as he made it because she walks twice as fast, as him, and he looked completely taken off guard by the completely normal interaction.

If you think that was a "power move" for him, you're pretty desperate for Trump...

It would be a power if anyone would have done that. I think the nuances of power dynamics isn't going to be well understood here. Very low T around here.

It's "reeked" but let's be real, we already knew you couldn't fucking spell.

Haha, the very first comment is an ad hominem. Can't wait for the rest.

That you cannot spell isn't a character attack, it is an objective fact easily verified by reading your comments.

It's just a fact that makes you look bad. Sucks to suck.

I'm sick of correcting people because they lack reading comprehension. That was absolutely a personal attack.

Your comment is also an ad hominem. You think I should defend myself for commonly misspelled words and typos? Here's a personal attack for ya, get stuffed.
