"But lost in the hand wringing was Donald Trump’s usual bombastic litany of lies, hyperbole, bigotry, ignorance, and fear mongering. His performance demonstrated once again that he is a danger to democracy and unfit for office.”
“In fact, the debate about the debate is misplaced. The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump.”
“to serve his country, Donald Trump should…”
Lemme stop you right there
He should try injecting bleach into his lungs
Trump attacks the military. He denigratesthe Justice Department and judges. He belittles the FBI and the CIA. He picks fights with allies and cozies up to dictators.
Trump is an unserious carnival barker running for the most serious job in the world. During his last term, Trump served himself and not the American people.
These are the kinds of articles we need from our media, and also needed sooner. Much sooner.
No wars under trump, two wars under Biden. Easy choice.

To understand this scathing rebuttal, you should know about the original NYTimes article, where their editorial board wrote:
To Serve His Country, President Biden Should Leave the Race
This is a wonderfully penned counterpunch. Shout out to my local paper for serving it up
Both of the articles are correct.
It’s cute. But this is, of course, a given. And we don’t expect Hitler to do the right thing. We expect Biden to.
We expect biden to.
No we don’t. Some of us believe there’s a shadow of a prayer he might be pushed into it by Democrat party leaders and his own advisors, but even the politicos calling for his withdrawal have been clear that they expect him to lurch his way to an electoral disaster.
Not really it ignores NYT’s actual argument.
It’s a good thing to see that coming from the most populated city in a swing state.
Sadly, Philly isn’t what swings the state. It’s actually the turnout in the Philly suburbs (2 million+ live in the bordering counties) that turns the races. Philly will always be reliably dem. The suburban vote swings
That makes sense. Thanks for the insight!
Philly is also the city that violently chased the Patriot Front out when they tried to do a march, like literally just set on them with big sticks sending them packing back into their U-Haul van and driving away shamefully, like Han Solo unhesitatingly shooting at Vader the instant he sees him sat at the dinner table for his big betrayal speech. Be like Philly.
You mean the draft dodger, ressurective, dictator admiring, classified document stealing, dementing, lying, grifting, make-up wearing Cheeto ? He only serves himself.
Hah, no ones deluded enough to think trump wants to serve America or even that he gives a flying f*ck about what’s good for it. This man is the pure crystallisation of “I don’t need to win, I just need you to lose”. He’ll set this country on fire before taking any kind of responsibility or agency for the position he’s vying for.
Hah, no ones deluded enough to think trump wants to serve America or even that he gives a flying f*ck about what’s good for it.
Oh my sweet summer child…
They believe that Trump is simultaneously the reincarnation of JFK jr, and JFK jr is going to come back from the dead and be his VP. Scientist need to invent about 200 more dimensions in order to describe the space their mental gymnastics flips and cartwheels through.
Media to the Mentally Unwell: Just Stop Being Mentally Unwell
Haha trump only serves himself
But the win is so easy at this point. And watching the reaction of his opposition is fkin delicious.
But hey, this time we don’t have random people claiming they’re going to move to Canada.
But then he wouldn’t make any money.
Tbh he could probably make plenty as a conservative media personality of some kind. Start some webshow and sell tacky branded garbage and fake health supplements to his supporters or something like that
He could even start some kind of alternative social media site and branded bibles.
And he might go to jail. (might)
He definitely will if all the prosecutions against him continued to completion…that’s why he needs to stay in the race at this point. He doesn’t give a fuck about the country.
The author is delusional if they think there is any chance of the happening
That’s not the point
Life long democrat that hates everything about Donald Trump here. I once famously said I will vote for used condom before I vote for Donald Trump.
Am I taking crazy pills???
On the debate, I, with my own two eyes, saw that our president Joe Biden is senile. Yet, today everyone is saying that Donald Trump was so bad, he should drop.
Donald Trump was a selfish, narcissist, arrogant, bastard in 2016, 2020, and 2024 debates. As somebody that watches all our the presidential debates, I did not see any difference in Donald Trump, and his behavior, since 2020.
Biden, on the other hand, very clearly has dementia. I would know. My father has been battling dementia for the last few years. My father is a lot more capable than Joe Biden at this moment.
All of these articles are damage control from Democrats.
Yeah I don’t get why Democrats let Joe Biden run as he WILL pass away before this term is over (not wishful thinking and I’d wish him another 50 years more, but the guy just really doesn’t look like he’ll be around for another 4 more years), but ignoring that…
Why are they focussing on Joe’s issues with Trump? Focus on the dictatorship part, perhaps? On the sheer incompetece? On the insanity? The crimes? The fucking insurrection? There are a million sun blazing red flags they could wave about trump, yet they try to.focus on things where Joe actually failed himself?
Yeah, poor Joe is senile, I get it, and people should still vote for him cuz they’re living in the greatest country where they have the choice between an evil clown dictator and a senile dying grandpa. It sucks, but those are the choices. Destroy the world, or effectively vote for Joe’s running mate, as that person will be in charge soon.
Dear god joe, please don’t die right before the elections, that would be baaaaadddd
I feel trump will also pass in the next 4 years. Dude is massively overweight and extremely unhealthy compared to Biden even if he has dementia.
The most shitty thing is that my brother died at 55 when he was a good person and this piece of shit is still alive.
This.
Same for my dad, died of early onset Parkinson’s, did not deserve the cards he was dealt.
Trumo now is venerated, people (retarded people, mind you) literally think he’s Jesus
NYT did in fact talk about Trump in their editorial. They lamented that any sane party would consider him ineligible after his debate performance. But because we can’t have nice things, the onus is now on Biden.
All the “rebuttals” keep ignoring that.
To serve his country…
When has he ever done anything to even hint that he serves anything but himself?
When he dies will be the first, and only, time.
It’s a play on the NYT headline asking Biden to leave the race
Who believes that Trump would serve his country? Trump would happily see the country go down in f-ing flames if it served him. Because he is the only one who counts for him, anything else does not matter at all.
