Trump Declares Victory in Wake of Biden 'Disaster,' Dems Panic

Donald Trump made it appear obvious to America: President Joe Biden cannot stand next to him on a debate stage without a "disaster," Democrats and leftist media sources were forced to admit Thursday night after the earliest debate in presidential history.

The Trump campaign messages blared "It's So Joe-Over" and "Crooked Joe Biden's Horrible, Humiliating Night," and Friday outlined the reaction from several mainstream reporters, saying that the reaction "speaks for itself."

• NBC's Kristen Welker: "There's widespread panic among Democrats."
• NBC's Chuck Todd: "Biden looks like the caricature that conservative media has been painting ... you saw it before your eyes!"
• CNN's Chris Wallace: "This has been, quite frankly, a car accident in slow motion."
• CNN's Abby Phillip: "The panic that I'm hearing from Democrats is not like anything I've heard in this campaign so far."
• MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace: "What was wrong with [Biden]?"

In a second memo about the debate, the campaign declared that the American people "witnessed a split screen for the ages — a strong, focused, and powerful performance from President Donald J. Trump and an incoherent, humiliating, and embarrassing display of Crooked Joe Biden's weakness and decline.

Some "must-watch moments," the campaign said, included:

• Crooked Joe Biden took zero responsibility for the millions of illegal aliens he has ferried into the country — and even credited them as "the reason why we have the most successful economy in the world."
• Crooked Joe Biden blamed President Trump for his own historic inflation crisis.
• Crooked Joe Biden admitted he has NO PLAN for Social Security.
• Crooked Joe Biden lied about raising taxes on middle-class Americans.
• Crooked Joe Biden was unable to name a single limit he'd support on taxpayer-funded abortion-on-demand until birth.
• Crooked Joe Biden malfunctioned in real-time (again, and again, and again, and again).

"Meanwhile, President Trump took Crooked Joe Biden to task over Biden's border invasion, his disastrous foreign policy, his plan to raise taxes on 91% of American families, and his lifetime of chronic lying," the campaign said. "There's a reason two-thirds of Americans say President Trump was the clear winner of tonight's debate — because he was."

The debate left many in the left-wing media shaken, including CNN analyst John King, who commented minutes after the debate ended that "there is a deep, a wide, and a very aggressive panic in the Democratic Party."

The campaign, declaring victory, said that Trump "delivered the greatest debate performance and victory in history to the largest voter audience in history, making clear exactly how he will improve the lives of every American."

In its statement, the campaign commented that Trump "over and over" again "highlighted common-sense plans to reduce inflation, bringing down the costs of groceries, housing, and gas, as well as his plans to bring back his successful first-term policies that kept our southern border secure and free from the wave of Biden migrant crimes currently sweeping our country."

Biden, on the other hand, "showed exactly why he deserves to be fired," the campaign said. "Despite taking a week-long vacation at Camp David to prepare for the debate, Biden was unable to defend his disastrous record on the economy and the border. Throughout the debate, Biden lied, invented stories, and could not articulate a single plan to make things less expensive and keep our people safe, choosing instead to change the subject and dwell on the past."

Even worse, the campaign declared, "Biden couldn't explain why he took a week of vacation at Camp David while 50 ISIS terrorists ran loose in our country. President Trump is spot-on when he says that if Joe Biden is too incompetent to stand trial, then Biden is too incompetent to be president."

Meanwhile, "Americans are struggling financially while the families of Laken Riley, Rachel Morin, Jocelyn Nungaray, and every other victim of Biden Migrant Crime are grieving," the campaign said. "Our country is on fire at home and we stand on the brink of World War III because of Joe Biden's incompetence. But we can turn it all around, and bring back the American Dream, starting on day one, by reelecting President Donald J. Trump.
