“Donald Trump did nothing tonight to stop his campaign’s self-induced freefall after the tape of his shameful remarks surfaced on Friday,” said American Bridge 21st Century President Jessica Mackler. “Trump offered the same unacceptable non-apology and attempted to brush over the fact that he bragged about sexually assaulting women with denial. There’s already a mile-long list of reasons Trump can’t serve as president – from his shameful remarks about women, to the racism and hatred that he’s based his campaign upon, and tonight he added to that list. He showed us yet again that he is unstable, unhinged, and unfit to serve as Commander in Chief.”
After a year of leading a presidential campaign predicated on hatred, racism and sexism, Donald Trump proved once again just how unfit he is to serve as Commander in Chief. Everything about Trump’s performance tonight was shameful for someone seeking the office of the President. Here were the ten worst moments:
- Trump doubled down on his refusal to issue a real apology for his shameful remarks bragging about sexual assault that surfaced on Friday, and denied past sexual assault or harassment.
- He attacked Mike Pence and sided with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin over his own running mate.
- He admitted to paying no federal taxes for nearly two decades.
- Trump resorted to attacking the moderators when things weren’t going his way.
- He called Islamophobia “a shame” and then continued to use harmful rhetoric.
- He touted the Kremlin party line and said “you don’t know who the rebels are.”
- Trump denied he tweeted “check out the sex tape” at 3:00am. He did.
- He said he would put Hillary Clinton “in jail” if elected.
- He called immigrants “murderers” and “very bad people.”
- Donald Trump defends Assad, Russia, and Iran in one answer.
