#Harris #Trump #Debate 🧵
-
#Trump interrupted Muir to talk about how great he was for #NATO by getting European countries to “pay up.”
Muir: Do you [#KamalaHarris] bear any responsibility for the lethal #Afghanistan withdrawal? #Harris says, “I agreed with President Biden’s decision to pull out. Four presidents said they would, & Joe Biden did.”
Harris seemed to pause conspicuously when she said “this … former president.” #SideEye ️.

Earlier, #KamalaHarris referenced a #Wharton analysis that predicted Trump’s #economic plan would boost the #deficit. In response, #Trump claimed many Wharton professors, “the top professors, think my plan is a brilliant plan.” A Wharton professor has apparently turned to social media to discover if any Trump-affirming colleagues exist.
The 2024 Trump Campaign Policy Proposals: Budgetary, Economic and Distributional Effects — Penn Wharton Budget Model
We estimate that the Trump Campaign tax and spending proposals would increase primary deficits by $5.8 trillion over the next 10 years on a conventional basis and by $4.1 trillion on a dynamic basis that includes economic feedback effects. Households across all income groups benefit on a conventional basis.

#KamalaHarris’s attack on the #Trump #Taliban deal seemed to have its intended effect…
Best/Worst Trump quote of the night, “I got involved with the Taliban…”
…I mean… how do you get away with a sentence like that?

Among the various topics touched on during Tues’ #debate was #Trump’s #inheritance, brought up by VP #KamalaHarris as she addressed the #MiddleClass.
How much Trump received has seemingly been a sensitive point for Trump. He has often claimed it was a “very small loan,” but a 2018 David Barstow, [the brilliant] Susanne Craig & Russ Buettner NYT’s report refuted that.

After reviewing financial documents, the NYT reporters determined #Trump received >$413M — in 2018 dollars — from his NYC developer father, Fred, for years.
According to the Washington Post, Trump benefited from trusts set up for family members as well as loans from his father & his father’s estate. The NYT said it found Trump & his father avoided gift & inheritance #taxes by using a #sham corporation & undervaluing assets.

Background on this #Trump topic:
#Trump has referred to his #Wharton degree as ‘super genius stuff.’ An admissions officer recalls it differently.
James Nolan was working in the University of Pennsylvania’s admissions office in 1966 when he got a phone call from one of his closest friends, #FredTrumpJr. It was a plea to help Fred’s younger brother Donald Trump get into Penn’s Wharton School.
