Last night’s Harris/Trump debate (or “debat” if Rudy Giuliani) was truly a spectacle no one expected.
After Biden’s abysmal and hilarious June debate performance left many questioning his fitness to lead, last night was Trump’s turn to make the headlines for all the wrong reasons.
With Harris holding her own, setting traps for Trump, and remaining composed, it seemed like Trump was working overtime to outdo Biden’s previous mishaps.
From awkward claims about “crowd sizes” to wild conspiracies about pet abductions, Trump’s performance had a lot of people raising their eyebrows and rushing to Twitter.
Meanwhile, Harris managed to bait Trump into some of his more off-the-rails moments, leaving many on social media with plenty to say.
Here’s a roundup of the funniest tweets, memes, and reactions to what went down on the ABC News debate stage:

A key point missing in a lot of post debate analysis is that Trump’s claim about immigrants eating pets almost perfectly syncs up to the piano in the Peanuts theme song. pic.twitter.com/6icWLe1sPN
