The highlights that prove who won the US presidential election debate, as told by memes

The first debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump as the two fight it out to be president of the United States kicked off last night. We all knew it would be chaos, and don’t think there was actually a soul on this earth who thought it would go in a calmed and non outrageous manner. But I don’t think anyone had quite prepared for the car crash comments Trump would actually end up making – with some of the wildest comments ever spit out by a man who has lead the US as president and who is genuinely a contender to do so again. The memes were absolute perfection, so here is a highlights reel proving who won the US presidential election debate as told by the world’s funniest narrator: Twitter. Or X. Whatever.

1. Trump claimed immigrants are eating pets

A key point missing in a lot of post debate analysis is that Trump’s claim about immigrants eating pets almost perfectly syncs up to the piano in the Peanuts theme song. pic.twitter.com/6icWLe1sPN

Unfortunately this baseless claim did actually get said as fact. Beyond belief.

At least the memes were golden

Has anyone ever won a debate by shouting “they’re eating the dogs”

2. Trump says Kamala wants to do ‘transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison’

"She wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens who are in prison" is the WILDEST thing I've ever heard in any debate. EVER.

— Marc Lamont Hill (@marclamonthill) September 11, 2024

Yes, you did actually read that correctly. Transgender operations on illegal aliens who are in prison. Baffling.

This is happening in Springfield, Missouri – right.

Nah I’m crying.

4. The moderator shutting down Trump saying Democrats want to execute babies after birth

I'm screaming at the debate moderator calling out Trump immediately after he spewed complete nonsense about abortion, declaring that Dems somehow want to execute babies after 9 months

"There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it's born." pic.twitter.com/ZZFhQvriH2

5. Trump just talking crap

moderator: you have 1 minute
