Harris Trump debate analysis: What are the key takeaways? | DW News

My takeaway is that they're both owned by Israel.

Trump killed it and kamala the marxist just talked about trump . Kamala lied about the shape of country when her joke of a boss and her took over 😂she should just resign now

I watched the Biden debate for one minute and determined that he lost. Same thing with this debate. Trump was on drugs or something. He was a pale shadow of his 2016 debate performances.

Aya Ibrahim is sane-washing Trump here. Putting words in his mouth, trying to make him sound not as insane as he did in that debate.

Inflation, immigration, ongoing war = Kamala Harris.

Netanyahu and Putin run US

Оба претендента на пост президента США в ходе своих дебатов ссылались на президента России Владимира Путина

You can tell by a Thumbnail which side they on

When all is said and done, historians (if they're being honest) will write that Harris ( a very unpopular VP) was foisted on the American people through an overt, bloodless coup by a handful of wealthy donors in cahoots with Clooney and Pelosi and thus nullified the votes of millions of Biden supporters.

Paso el examen saltado el listón que era fundamental.
Ahora para el Público en General; Si es una contrincante y una alternativa de Tu a Tu… para el Ególatra de Donald Trump, que es algo misógino.
El tiempo y el votante Norteamericano decidirá.
🇪🇸👍👌 🇺🇸 Democracia, Paz, Ley y bien ✌️🕊️

She passed the exam, skipping the bar that was essential.
Now for the General Public; If she is a rival and an alternative to the Egomaniac Donald Trump, who is somewhat misogynistic.
Time and the North American voter will decide.
🇪🇸👍👌 🇺🇸 Democracy, Peace, Law and good ✌️🕊️

Power should never be in hands of democrats anywhere.

Trump is funny not funny 😂, Harris is on another planet, Cliintons started the war in Ukraine and the Middle East

Could someone point me at a better analysis? I am desperately looking for one and this one is so going round in circles…

Oh wow! Michelle Stockman thinks the debate was more or less a tie!

Understanding that the lie score in the debate was around 34 to 0 in "favor" of Trump and that despite the 34 Trump lies she still thinks Trump came across as presidential tells more about her values and principles as a journalist than about what most of us have seen...

DW must also ask themselves what their company values are when they have journalists like Michelle Stockman on their paylist - she doesn't mention Trump's 34 lies or false statements with zero words. She even defends Trump's performance pointing to Trump had a 3:1 match with the moderators pushing him - why shouldn't they when he constantly lies?

Where does the reporter from the US live? 2 minutes are not enough for details.

She thinks the Washington post is liberal? Oh good lord!

The debate looked like an overbearing mother correcting her petulant child.

Do the Germans really think that everything can end like this with negotiations on the former Ukraine? Don’t you think about what price you, Europeans, will have to pay for what you arranged in the former Ukraine. Reckoning is coming.

They had 2 minutes to lay out policy, and Kamala actually produced some policy points. Trump, on the other hand, lied 34 times, and DW didn't even mention that. Yes, it was light on policy, but in context, this debate was more about who could appear more presidential. DW is drawing a false equivalency between the two candidates when it is clear Harris won, and Trump was unhinged. This commentary is subpar—do better DW!

Trump is better to usa and eu but haris is better to rest of the world

What happened was Kamala showed that the emperor has no clothes and just how crazy Trump is.

Her closing remarks were about what she will do.

His closing remarks were about her lol.

Pro Trump reporter

As usual with the DW "expert commentators" they bring in, they get it partly or totally wrong...here she says that a flaw in Harris´ comments and debate was that she cant project herself as an agent of change,because she comes from the Biden administration...but she did it anyway..the thing this so called expert missed,is that Harris meant,of course, that her politics would be a change compared to Trumps politics...she didnt refer to Biden..but Trump... I would guess she would stick to many things in Bidens politics,but probably also have some changes added too...To Ibrahim,the expert commentator here,please make your observations on actual accounts,not missunderstood meanings of your mind...

The first reporter was blatantly biased. The second reporter did a fantastic job. Thanks

drums 2024

Kamala won

I can see why your country is falling back into far right's lap with your analyses.
Washington Post is NOT liberal publication! So you looked at 2 right wing publications and they bith said Harris won the debate. The moderators did not push Trump, they said no one kills babies after birth and no one is eating cats. It's called fact checking.
It's weird how out of touch you guys are. Must be all the right wing talking points you guys are pushing and absorbing.

hello.people...good..night..

Russian trolls are active in the comments section again, how badly they want Trump to come back 😂

Harris has performed better in the debate.

Anti trump
Pro harris
Why was harris allowed ear pods

It’s refreshing to see news coverage from a team who seems to be free of any bias but I am surprised to hear anyone describe Donald Trump as “presidential” after that debate. He was repeating conspiracy theories about immigrants eating dogs…

DW has no integrity. Trump obviously lied and lied and lied. And lost. Bring people in your show who know how to speak truthfully.

Trump got buttkicked

Expecting anybody to give their plan details in any timed debate is at least awkward and difficult. And when history clearly shows one party will fabricate nonsensible attacks against anything you say, attempting to give detail would be neither rational nor practical.

Nor could all detail ever be compressed into a 2-4 minute sound bite. And your asking for that makes no good sense. Stop asking for a fantasy.

To the commentator (who watched the debate?): (1) US @25.000 government help for first time home buyers; (2) Extension of Earned Child Credit putting USD6.000 in families with a new born, (3) she will sign a woman's right to make abortion decisions into law (clearly, the Congress needs to pass such law to begin with), (4) she will sign an immigration bill into law (by the way proposed by very conservative politicians). (5) Government tax credit of $50.000 for small business launches. Not much else can be said in 2 minutes and in between pet eating distractions. Very week analysis; not worthy of DW.

Lisa Simpsons called JD Vance after she figured out what happened to Snowball 😂

She is nothing but a puppet with some boxes checked by some people with crazy ideas.

So, can anyone tell me what kind of liar, Donald Trump is? 1. Compulsive Liar: Excessive Reality Fabrication, 2. Pathological Liar: Persistent Dishonesty for no reason, 3. Sociopathic Liar: Routine Chaos creator, 4. Narcissistic Liar: Attention Seeker, Responsibility Denier. 5. Impressive Liar: Boosts own Ego.
He fits all of these.

Aya sane washing Trump here pretty hard. A really poor take

If you watched that debate and you're not really sure who won, you must be as deranged as Donald Trump himself. This is not good enough from DW.

Kamala said nothing, but she said it nicely. She gave no details. And at times she ignored the question.

How can anyone say Harris did not give enough details of her economic plan? $6,000 for parents of newborns, $25,000 for first time homebuyers, $50,000 for startup small businesses. Should she say $5,999.99? $25,000.01? The charge is ridiculous.

I would not exclude though that sometime, someone has eaten a dog somewhere on the road of becoming a model immigrant. But maybe I watched to many HK movies.

Immigration:
Your argument that Trump “blames immigration even when it’s not relevant” ignores the very real issues surrounding illegal immigration. It's not just a soundbite about "criminals eating pets," but rather a reflection of rising crime in border states due to insufficient immigration control. While Trump might be exaggerating for effect, dismissing the border crisis as unimportant undermines the real challenges that illegal immigration poses to border security, drug trafficking, and human trafficking. Rejecting a proposal to send more border patrol agents isn’t a blanket condemnation of addressing the crisis—it's a sign that more comprehensive solutions are needed, not just patchwork efforts. Immigration reform, which Trump repeatedly pushed for, is essential, and his critics fail to provide alternatives that seriously address the root of the issue.

Abortion:
You criticize Trump for allegedly lying about "9-month executions," but you dismiss a critical aspect of the debate. While it’s true that late-term abortions are rare, the fact remains that Democrats, including Kamala Harris, have supported abortion up until birth in extreme cases. Trump’s stance to leave it to the states is more aligned with the idea of federalism, allowing each state to reflect the values of its constituents. His approach to abortion mirrors a key Republican stance: empowering states to make decisions on contentious issues rather than imposing federal mandates.

Economy:
Kamala Harris’s plan to tax corporations and provide tax credits might sound appealing on the surface, but historically, increasing corporate taxes can stifle economic growth. Corporations don’t just absorb these costs—they pass them on to consumers through higher prices, which disproportionately affects the middle class and small businesses. You can critique Trump's tariff strategy, but the fact is, tariffs are tools meant to incentivize domestic production and create leverage in trade negotiations. Trump’s tax cuts, while benefiting the wealthy, also spurred significant job creation and economic growth, especially before the pandemic hit. It’s essential to recognize that tax policies don’t just impact the “top 1%”—they create a broader environment for investment and business expansion, which trickles down to the average American in the form of jobs and wage increases.

Nobody won and nobody will win. We are choosing between two candidates who aren’t qualified to be President of a Democracy.
