Trump Tries to Spin Poor Debate Performance & Taylor Swift Endorses Kamala Harris | The Daily Show

Jordan Klepper Recaps the Presidential Debate last night kamla Harris and Donald Trump took to the debate stage to make their cases to tailor Allison Swift and whoever else happened to be watching it was not a good night for Trump in terms of personal tragedies for him I'd put it somewhere between losing the 2020 election and the day Fox News started letting female anchors wear pants somewhere in there and there was Trump’s “Eating Pets” Conspiracy one moment that was probably the best example of just how badly Trump did at the debate in Springfield they're eating the dogs the people that came in they're eating the cats they're eating they're eating the pets of the people that live there sir the question was state your name now if you were one of the many people last night wondering why Trump was shouting they're eating the dogs let me explain it started with a random Facebook post where someone accused a haian immigrant of stealing and eating their neighbors daughter's friend's cat and if there's one thing we know about Facebook posts is that they're always rigorously fact checked but as with any unfounded rumor on Facebook obviously this got picked up by the right-wing establishment and spread across the internet even JD Vance promoted it while simultan anly acknowledging it was completely unfounded you might say he jumped in the misinformation pool but kept his shirt on which brings us to last night if there's one thing we know about a racist conspiracy theory is that Donald Trump's brain will swallow it whole like a hungry immigrant at Petco and that's and that's how a random Facebook post turned into Donald Trump's campaign slogan they're eating cats and dogs so it seemed like Trump had a rough performance but hey you know what that's just my opinion you can also tell that Trump Spins Poor Debate Performance Donald Trump was the loser because he did all the things losers do when they lose number one complaining about the refs I thought they were very unfair the moderators everybody did I thought it was terrible from the standpoint of ABC it was 3 to one it was a rigged deal as as I assumed it would be because when you looked at the uh the fact that they were correcting everything and not correcting with her yeah man they were correcting you because of the things you were saying That's barely factchecking the moderators were reacting like normal human beings react when you hear the craziest you've ever heard like if you were at a cocktail party and your friend said trans immigrants are eating dogs in Ohio you would say what the you talking about Stu no they aren't you wouldn't be like okay thank you for that let's move on to foreign policy you know what it wasn't just blaming the refs another way you know Trump Accuses Harris of Cheating Trump lost is that he was accusing his opponent of cheating they had a rigged show with somebody that maybe even had the answers I mean I'll be honest I watched her talk and I said you know she seems awfully familiar with the questions okay okay you think she was cheating because she seemed familiar with the questions it's a presidential debate they always ask the same questions it's like being suspicious that someone knows all the words to Take Me Out to the Ball Game how will you fix the economy what's your stance on abortion do you promise not to overthrow the government standard boilerplate debate questions meanwhile Trump seemed awfully familiar with the questions that nobody asked like who's eating all the cats in Springfield Ohio but maybe the best way you know Trump Claims He Won the Debate Trump lost the debate is that he repeatedly insisted he won I think it was the best debate I've ever personally that I've had we're getting polls that show 92 to6 88 to to 11 every single poll last night had me winning like 90 to 10 we had uh uh C-SPAN at one point was at 80 to 20 we looked at one poll it was 92 to 7 we had a 92% rating in one poll we had an 86% rating in another we had 77% 90% 60% 72% 71% and 89% wow those certainly were [Applause] numbers is is this what Trump did during his debate prep memorize all the numbers between 70 and 98 in fact every moment since the debate Trump Rects to Taylor Swift Endorsing Harris ended last night Trump has been spinning and spinning and spinning I mean just listen to his response after Taylor Swift announced she is endorsing kamla Harris well I actually like uh Mrs uh I actually like Mrs momes much better if you want to know the truth she's a she's a big Trump fan I was not a Taylor Swift fan oh really really Donald you prefer Britney momes what's your top five Britney momes songs is this really his angle well I I don't care Taylor because I like your boyfriend's co-worker's wife better this has just been a day of pathetic desperate spinning I mean imagine if Donald Trump spent all that energy on doing doing things correctly instead of pretending he did things correctly I mean if he had worked harder preparing for the debate maybe he wouldn't have had to pretend he won the debate if he had worked harder to win in 2020 maybe he wouldn't have to pretend the election was rigged and if he had worked harder on January 6th maybe he could have overthrown the government and wouldn't have to be debating in the first place it's called work ethic Donald come on of course Donald Trump wasn't the only one JD Vance Doubles Down on Trump’s Pet Claim spinning his performance last night his aforementioned vice president JD Vance was asked about why Donald Trump ranted about illegal immigrants eating pets and his response was Illuminating why push something that's not true well first of all City officials have not said it's not true they' said they don't have all the evidence noid we've heard from a number of constituents on the Caitlyn who both firsthand and secondhand reports saying this stuff is happening so they very clearly meaning the people on the ground dealing with this think that it is happening and I think that it's important for journalists to actually get on the ground and uncover this stuff for themselves okay okay I'm sorry this is not my main takeaway from the story but someone's cat went missing so they called their Senator I mean were they like hm should I go right to the president of the United States or or should I start with my Senator you got to update those emergency numbers on your fridge Barry come on but perhaps perhaps JD Vance has a point if a story bubbles up from the right-wing sewer it is Our obligation nay our duty in the mainstream media to investigate it no matter the cost and that is exactly what we have done here at The Daily Show I sent Ronnie changen Ronny Chieng Investigates Trump’s Pet Claim undercover to Springfield to find out if illegal migrants are really gobbling up our small town cats let's go live to him now Ronnie Ronnie Ry how how's the investigation going well Jordan I'm in Ohio in a cat costume trying to get migrants to eat me so it's not great also it's not working okay I even tenderized myself with a jerk rub and went around saying meow meow I'm so tasty nothing okay yeah well obviously you're not going to fool anyone with a half-ass meow like that you need to commit to the role Ronnie okay hey hey don't tell me how to commit all right how many Marvel movies are you in

allegations I don't know Jordan how about we ignore them good journalism doesn't mean we have to take every insane racist conspiracy theory at face value okay let's just on it and move on like I did
