Republican Operatives Mock Trump Following His ‘Emperor Has No Clothes’ Debate

Donald Trump headed into the presidential debate on Tuesday denying that he was behind in the polls and believing that he was invincible. If ever there were a more appropriate analogy for “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” we haven’t seen it. At the debate, it was revealed that the emperor was completely naked, and now everyone can see the truth – including Republican operatives who are, according to new reports, openly mocking Trump behind his back for the pathetic performance. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.

Donald Trump's debate performance on this past Tuesday. And I know I'm still talking about the debates 'cause I have to still talk about it because this is going to be, and this was really the pivotal moment in this new race of Harris versus Trump. Just like Biden's, poor debate performance was the pivotal moment when he was, you know, the presumptive nominee. This debate with Donald Trump is of course, the pivotal moment now, except the tables have turned in a way that Democrats are actually smiling and happy about, myself included. But his performance was so bad that, that according to M-S-C-M-S-N-B-C, excuse me, uh, uh, uh, Dacia Burns, she had the opportunity to speak with some Republican operatives following Tuesday evening's debate. And those operatives were openly mocking Donald Trump for his absolutely hilariously pathetic performance on Tuesday evening. Here is what Dasha Burns said. Some of the Republican operatives I've been talking to have given some mixed reviews.

Some say, look, he did no harm. Others saying he really did take the bait from Harris. And they're frustrated by that. At, one Republican operative said economic start was fine, abortion was a disaster. Then she baited him with the rallies comments and he hasn't been off the ropes since. It's like his kryptonite. The operative also noted that Harris successfully made age and issue again without even saying it. Trump sat back and let Joe Biden sound old and incoherent in that first debate. Now she's sitting back letting Trump sound old, angry, and rambling again. That's from a Republican operative, she said. So the Trump campaign, I think, you know, from behind the scenes wishes that he had spent more time on answers like immigration, where he could have sort of criticized Harris could have touted his administration's victories. Instead, he went into the unfounded claims about Haitians eating cats and dogs.

Let's be real clear here. Donald Trump has no accomplishments from his administration to actually speak of. So the reason he didn't do that is 'cause they don't exist. Now, he did still, like you pointed out, talk about things that don't exist. But talking about accomplishments from his administration is, is even more fantasy than people eating cats and dogs. Let's be real. But these Republican operatives, at least according to M-S-N-B-C, are mocking him. Do you know why? Because this debate was the perfect, the absolute perfect, the emperor's new close moment. Donald Trump walked into this debate bragging to the press like, I don't need prep. I don't prep. His campaign said, Trump's been prepping for this his whole life with his business deals. And of course we do know he did do prep. They brought in Tulsi Gabbard for prep. They brought in Laura

Loomer. She flew to the debate with him. Obviously she was giving him advice, so he had a lot of weird people telling him how to behave, and it didn't go well. But he went into the debate thinking that he was invincible, thinking much like the emperor, that because he was pure of heart, he could see the glorious robes that he was wearing, even though he couldn't actually see them. But everybody else in the MAGA world had also been telling him for years. Like, no, we, we also see the magnificent robes that you are wearing. You clearly like we're good people too, because we can see how good you are. And it took that debate for somebody to finally stand up and say, the emperor is naked marching down the street.
