Yeah I also wish the interviewers didn’t let Trump bulldoze them in the responses so much. I guess it’s easy for me to say having never been in the same room as him. He does seem to have a way of intimidating people, maybe it’s an aura you have to witness in person maybe it’s just his loudness I don’t know.
The opening question as an example should have been easy to double down on since it was all just factual statements about Trump’s own words and actions, but instead of pointing this out she let Trump get away with the whole “nasty question” rant.
Still an incredible thing to witness but given how off balance Trump was here it could have been even more. Though let’s face it, he can get away with saying just about anything without losing voters so it probably wouldn’t have mattered.

Well my former boss was basically a Trump wannabe. Large, deep voice, intimidating, narcicist, etc. Trump in training. One thing I’ve learned, and I’ve seen it with Trump too, is that their egos can be shattered and their entire game plan thrown out the window with even the slightest amount of aggressive pushback. They get so used to just being given what they wanted by shouting down, grinding down, and bullying the other person into submission that they have exactly zero clue what to do when they run up against someone where those tactics are ineffective.
They negotiate from what they think is a position of “strength” when the other person can be easily intimidated. But put them against anyone with even half-decent negotiating skills and an ability to push back, they give in. Ever notice that when he’s up against a more seasoned negotiatior, he always seems to somehow basically give the other side everything, come away with nothing, and still tries to say they got the better end of the deal? There’s a reason for that. Because the second Trump gets pushback, his game plan entirely collapses and he has no plan B. And any half-decent negotiator is going to be all over that like flies on orange shit.
Go and watch any of the footage of Rep. Jasmine Crockett (Tx). If you put three black women with her skills on that stage with him instead of the 3 women that were there, this would have been a whole different interview. Not just because Crockett is spicy and gives zero fucks. But because there is no way she would have let Trump walk all over her like that, and Trump would have had no idea what to do. That’s what they needed on that stage.

I have good news for you then: Kamala Harris is a former prosecutor who eats criminals like trump for breakfast. That’s why her campaign clearly doesn’t give a fuck.
Biden didn’t give a fuck either. That’s why he won in 2020 with “Will you shut up man?”
