A day before Tuesday’s vice-presidential debate between J.D. Vance and Tim Walz, Donald Trump announced he’d be doing a “personal PLAY BY PLAY” on Truth Social, managing to cram in three derogatory nicknames for his Democratic opponents:
So what were Trump’s comments on the VP debate? It was surprisingly hard to follow along. While Trump has been back on X for months, he only posted one comment there during the debate. The rest of his observations were exclusive to Truth Social, where he has approximately 83 million fewer followers.
For those who are curious about what Trump said, but not enough to go through the trouble of registering for Truth Social (or weeding through the various X accounts that repost his “truths”), here’s a roundup of Trump’s largely inane debate commentary.
He issued a panicky all-caps statement on abortion.
Trump kept all of his debate commentary on Truth Social — except for this one post. As Walz and Vance discussed the impact of Trump-appointed Supreme Court justices striking down Roe v. Wade, Trump took to Twitter to claim that “EVERYONE KNOWS I WOUL DNOT SUPPORT A FEDERAL ABORTION BAN.” He reiterated that he is not in favor of post-birth abortion, which is not a thing, then closed, “THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!”
Back on Truth Social, he attempted to bolster his claim that he’s more trustworthy than Democrats on abortion by lashing out at transgender people:
Democrats are NOT Pro WOMEN, they are letting MEN play in WOMEN’s Sports. Walz can’t even define what a Woman is!

He asked one valid question
Walz said he’s “become friends with school shooters” as he was explaining why his position changed on how to address school shootings. Presumably he meant school-shooting victims? Trump was confused too:
Did Tampon Tim just say he has “become friends with school shooters?” He isn’t even qualified to be Governor, let alone Vice President. Walz and Kamala DO NOT HAVE WHAT IT TAKES!
— Trump on Truth (@HashtagTrump) October 2, 2024
Second time he has said, “I’ve been friends with school shooters.” What does he mean by this? Is he insane?

He complained about the moderators.
Trump has accused the moderators of treating him unfairly in basically every debate since 2015, so why stop now?
Kamala has been in office for 4 years and not a single challenge from the biased left hosts on anything they have done.

Both young ladies have been extremely biased Anchors!

Margaret Brennan just lied again about the ILLEGAL MIGRANTS let into our Country by Lyin’ Kamala Harris, and then she cut off JD’s mic to stop him from correcting her!

Norah just made a statement about the Election, not a question. She’s having a bad night!
— Trump Posts on 𝕏 (@trump_repost) October 2, 2024
I thought Norah was fired from CBS for Low Ratings. Why is she still on?
— Trump on Truth (@HashtagTrump) October 2, 2024
CBS is LYING AGAIN about the 2020 Election. Where is my apology from Leslie Stahl? She claimed that the Hunter Biden LAPTOP FROM HELL was not real, and that my Campaign wasn’t spied on. CBS IS FAKE NEWS!

He complained about fact-checking.
Trump was especially riled up about the moderators correcting Vance at several points, though they said they wouldn’t be fact-checking during the debate.
JD just demolishing CBS “hosts” for lying about not “fact checking” and being false while doing it!
Completely SMOKED the bias liars!
— MAGA Resource (@MAGAResource) October 2, 2024
Margaret Brennan just “fact checked” JD, incorrectly, on “Climate Change.” When is she going to fact check Tampon Tim on all of his false statements? Another repeat with the Fake News being unfair to the Republican Candidate, and trying to get the pathetic Democrat across the…
— Donald J. Trump Posts From His Truth Social (@TrumpDailyPosts) October 2, 2024
So much for CBS not doing the left’s biased “fact checking”.
Again, the hosts only challenge Vance and Trump policies and one host actually said made a personal comment that “scientists proven climate change is real”.
Disgusting left.

He complained that Walz was … writing too much?
He was really grasping at straws here.
Walz is taking so many notes – Never seen a Candidate take more! He needs the notes to keep his brain intact.

More notes! Why can’t Walz just remember what he has to say? Low IQ!

Walz should take less notes and focus on telling the TRUTH more.
— Trump Posts on 𝕏 (@trump_repost) October 2, 2024
He called Walz dumb.
A weak attack on Walz made by an obviously not very inspired Trump.
A great defense of me and the Administration of fake charges made by an obviously not very bright Governor.

He called Walz “Tampon Tim.”
When in doubt, Trump pivoted back to his misogynistic nickname for Walz.
JD is steady and strong, Tampon Tim is sweating bullets, he is nervous and “weird.”

JD is doing GREAT – A different level of Intelligence from Tampon Tim!

Comrade Kamala Harris and Crooked Joe Biden are letting in THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of Violent Murderers and Rapists into our Country. I secured the Southern Border – They have DESTROYED it. Tampon Tim is babbling and not making any sense!

He made fun of Walz for using the word “folks.”
Sure, Biden uses the term a lot. But Trump really hasn’t heard anyone else say “folks”?
“Folks” – Tampon Tim stealing Crooked Joe’s signature catchphrase. Sad!

He talked about how great he is.
Trump’s favorite topic!
I SAVED our Country from the China Virus, Tampon Tim let Minneapolis burn in 2020, and then begged me to save him. He is talking so fast because he’s nervous as hell, and LYING!

JD Vance just CRUSHED Tampon Tim with the FACTS. America was GREAT when I was President, and we will Make America Great Again after we win on November 5th!
