 AnadoluFormer President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Saturday to gloat about Thursday night's presidential debate—his only gripe being that people aren't giving him enough praise for winning the debate.

Record heat is knocking out train service in the northeast. Waves of migrants come from the south. Russia's madman is threatening to use nukes against Ukraine. Israel continues its deadly assault on Gazan civilians with U.S. weaponry.

The vast majority of Americans will not be watching to be informed on policy or even to help them decide who will earn their vote. They just want to see the other guy fall.
"We keep using the word debate but it's not really a debate anymore," said Luke Nichter, a presidential historian at Chapman University.
