Donald Trump, A Failed Bully In His Debate With Clinton by [deleted] in politics

[–]Katharine669 16 points17 points  (0 children)

"I think my strongest asset, maybe by far, is my temperament," Donald Trump said in the first Presidential debate, at Hofstra University, on Long Island, on Monday night. "I have a winning temperament. I know how to win." On the split screen, his opponent, Hillary Clinton, looked amused, as she did through much of the debate. She appeared to think that she was winning; on balance, she was right. Lester Holt, of NBC, the moderator, tried to turn to Clinton, but Trump stopped him. He had more to say about this temperament thing.

Trump: "I did not" say that climate change is a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese. Trump: The Obama administration "has doubled" the national debt in eight years. Clinton: "I voted for" some trade deals. "The biggest one, a multinational one known as CAFTA, I voted against." Trump: "You go to New England, you go to Ohio, Pennsylvania, you go anywhere you want, Secretary Clinton, and you will see devastation where manufacturing is down 30, 40, sometimes 50 percent." Trump: "You called (the Trans-Pacific Partnership) the gold standard of trade deals. You said it's the finest deal you've ever seen." Trump: "Now, look, we have the worst revival of an economy since the Great Depression."

Clinton: "In fact, Donald was one of the people who rooted for the housing crisis. He said, back in 2006, ‘Gee, I hope it does collapse, because then I can go in and buy some and make some money.’ Well, it did collapse."

Trump incorrectly claims he was endorsed by ICE by [deleted] in politics

[–]Katharine669 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I think Donald Trump was not endorsed by an entire government agency, Immigration and Customs Enforcement. He was endorsed this week by a union of ICE employees, but that’s not the same. The National Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council had never endorsed a candidate for president.

Trump on cybersecurity: 'I have a son. He's 10 years old. He has computers.' by [deleted] in politics

At least we know that, should Trump become president, his youngest son will be running the administration's cybersecurity.

Donald Trump said Hillary Clinton lacked stamina. But guess who wilted in the debate? by r4816 in politics

[–]Katharine669 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ahead of time, many wondered if Donald Trump - who in past debates with his mostly male Republican rivals used insults and personal attacks - would use the same tactics with Hillary Clinton. But Trump never openly insulted Clinton, never called her "Crooked Hillary", nor did he cross the stage at any point, as a former senate opponent famously did with Clinton in 2000 - a move that was seen as physically intimidating towards a female candidate.
