Donald Trump has called for "everybody at ABC Fake News" to be fired after his presidential debate against Kamala Harris on Tuesday. The Republican candidate posted on his Truth Social platform on Wednesday evening expressing his dissatisfaction with the network.

"People are just starting to give me credit for having a GREAT DEBATE. The Voters and Voter Polls showed it, but the Fake News Media wasn't giving the credit that was due. Now they are seeing the results with independent Voters, Evangelicals, and more—and saying, WOW!" he wrote.

"Remember, I wasn't debating one person, I was debating three. They should fire everybody at ABC Fake News, whose two lightweight 'anchors' have brought disgrace onto the company!"

Trump claims he was unfairly fact-checked by anchors David Muir and Linsey Davis. He was fact-checked five times during the debate while Harris was never fact-checked.

1. When will the whining stop?

[Dock_Yard]

8. When he finally passes away ... IN CONFINEMENT after more criminal convictions

[Shermann]

31. I liked Charlie Sheen's "WINNING" catchphrase

But "WHINING" is lame.

[EarlG]

2. Trump: "Independent Voters, Evangelicals, and more ... saying, WOW!"

This checks out. I said "WOW" quite a few times while listening to Trump.

[Jokerman]

5. Several "WOW"s, A couple of "OMG"s and at least one "WTF?"

[getagrip_already]

3. Dont want tto be fact checked? Dont lie so badly its obvious to a 5 year old

His lies were so blatant, they couldnt be overlooked.

If kamala lied like that, she would have been checked also.

[KarenS]

4. Old man shouts into the wind!!

Somebody take him away, put a shawl around his shoulders and let him shuffle off.

[C_U_L8R]

6. Donny, isn't time to end the pity party?

No one likes a whiner.

[bucolic_frolic]

7. The whole universe should bend to Trump's knee

He was really off the rails in the debate. Could not believe he went to the dog-eating story, and also that he had the largest crowd in "political history". Constantly appealing to immeasureable externalities to puff himself up. A legend in his own mind, as they say..

[Torchlight]

9. Acting sanctimonious worked for him before, but it's a dead fish in the here and now

The self-righteous act is old and boring, and I don't think its practitioners have caught onto that. Yet.

[twodogsbarking]

10. Make him stop please. I am laughing so hard I think I might have injured myself.

[Think. Again.]

11. I fell in love with...

...David Muir when he said " Thank you, no one is eating dogs".

[yardwork]

17. Same! It was so unexpected and refreshing!

[brush]

32. ABC put CNN to shame with quick and easy fact checking.

CNN couldn't be bothered as they slide further and further to the right.

[Think. Again.]

33. Yep, Muir came prepared with facts on issues...

...anyone could have guessed trump would lie about. It probably took an ABC intern an hour at most to compile some real facts ahead of the debate.

[BeyondGeography]

12. Poor butthurt blowhard

The malformed King of the Counterfeit Christians.

[nickster48]

13. Ha-HA!

I’m waiting for the moment he starts yelling “Off with their heads!”

[NNadir]

14. I liked Josh Shapiro's "sports fan" retort. "The losers always blame the refs." n/t.

[hadEnuf]

15. He is in full dictator mode, saying he is beyond reproach.

Blatant lies are truth if he says them. 1+1=3 if he says so.

This isn't just geriatrics. He's a full-on megalomaniac and dangerous nutcase.

[maxrandb]

16. Hey MSM! I'm sure it will "only" be ABC where everyone ends up in GITMO if he wins

Keep both-sidering moral depravity, racism, fascism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy...surely you'll escape unscathed.

[Turbineguy]

18. A senior citizen version of the terrible two's.

[Tarzanrock]

19. This poor, wholly misunderstood, innocent fuck just can't get a "fair" break ...

The "persecuted," old, senile, lying, rotting Pumpkin Head had to "unfairly" debate 3 people at the debate but "everyone" says that he "won" the debate. Looks like everyone "hates" the old, senile, rotting Pumpkin Head: Trump hating Judges; Trump hating Prosecutors; Trump hating Grand Juries; Trump hating juries, civil and criminal, and now ABC News (owned by the rightwing corporate Rat, Disney) hates Trump as well. This poor, wholly misunderstood, innocent fuck just can't get a "fair" break and an "even" shake from all his haters! So sad. So very, very sad! Will this misunderstood, saintly man be "persecuted" until he is martyred by Marxists, Communists, Liberals, childless cat women, ungrateful Blacks, Mexican rapists, Haitian dog eaters, dirty immigrants who are poisoning the blood of our "shit hole" country which Joe Biden/Kamala Harris created and only, he, alone, can save?

[Ray Bruns]

20. On the lighter side of the news, Truth Social is trading at $15.96.

[SunSeeker]

21. When you say crazy shit like immigrants are eating pets in Ohio, you're gonna get fact checked.

Or when you say babies are being aborted after they're born.

Or when you deny stuff you clearly said.

Or when you deny you lost an election that you lost by 7 million votes.

Or when you claim you lost 60 election cases because of "standing" issues, when in fact it was because you could not produce a shred of evidence.


Those were the 5 fact checks. If Kamala had said such blatantly false shit, she would have been fact checked too.

[FakeNoose]

22. 'Memba this?

Tell Trump "You're Fired!"

[patphil]

23. 67 million people watched Trump make an absolute jackass of himself in that debate.

He won in his head, but lost everywhere else.

I could hear millions of people crying out in a loud voice, " This idiot wants to be President?", and laughing, or crying (depending on whether you're a Democrat or Republican).

[AllaN01Bear]

24. snork.

[birdographer]

25. So...he gave the greatest debate performance

in the history of debates, lots of people are coming up to him with tears in their eyes, people who have never cried before, telling him he was perfection itself...and yet, hmm, everyone at ABC should be fired? Should they not also be praised for making it possible?

The really weird thing is that his cult members (how is it possible for a large group of people to get stupider every day than they were the day before???) eat this up. They are, of course, as easily manipulated as he is (or they wouldn't be in his cult). At what point does their stupidity turn into a coma?

[Jilly_in_VA]

26. Because

they hurt his little fee-fees? How juvenile!

[Freethinker65]

27. Surprised he didn't propose a public hanging of ABC on Day 1.

The guy is insane and believes vindictive rhetoric shows strength.

[Doodley]

28. He was particulatly angry that the moderators fact-checked him on Springfield immigrants eating cats and dogs!

[agingdem]

29. and here comes the bomb threats, swatting, protests, stalking...

I suspect ABC has beefed up their security...

[Cartoonist]

30. So what will ABC's response be?

My guess is they will endorse him.

[Festivito]

34. After saying: "This is my best debate." Fire the people who did it? Weird!

[twodogsbarking]

35. Should they fire Mickey Mouse too?

[jvill]

36. "Fire everybody at that stupid place" is exactly what racist drunk uncles say. Verbatim.

When will media question why a guy who literally cannot hold a thought in his brain for more than 30 seconds, is running for president?

[sakabatou]

37. Someone! Call a WAAAAAHmbulence!

[Kali]

38. LOL

what a fucking snow flake
