The tables turned on Trump.
The days are passing as we inch closer to the 2024 Presidential Election.
Both candidates presented their arguments toUS citizens, but the debate drew eyes worldwide.
So, I asked non-American members of theBuzzFeed Communitytoshare their honest reactionsto the debate.
Here’s what they had to say:

“Its embarrassing she even has to debate this child.
We can already see the hateful rhetoric spewing into our right-wing government.”

“Kamala definitely won.
Trump seemed unprepared and uncomfortable.
He was comfortable telling lies, though.”

“Kamala definitely struggled at the beginning.
Trump has an unusual way of speaking, but it’s very much like a businessman.
Kamala kept trying to get a good sound bite and meme-able moment.
Far too many hand gestures and theatrics.
US schools need to put public speaking back into the curriculum.”
“It was a battle between sanity and insanity, and thank god sanity won.
Well done, Kamala.”

She was not."
“Kamala aced it.”

Trump was slow and dithering and wandering off-topic."
“Trump was totally unhinged.
Harris got all the way under his skin, he could not manage.
I think that would have swayed the debate totally in her favor.
“It is wild that the orange buffoon is a candidate in the first place.
Australia, 33

“Pure, unadulterated embarrassment for my American friends.
Kamala was the only grown up in the room.”
UK, 43

“Harris’s facesaid way more than words.
She didn’t take him seriously as an opponent.
16.“Sad.
There was no actual debate, just political point-scoring.”
“No real issues were adequately discussed.
Nothing was proposed that will truly help your country.
There’s only so long she can ride the ‘I’m not Trump’ wave.
Hope you find some better candidates next cycle.”

“It was comical.
I still cant get over that people are swallowing the crap coming out of Trumps mouth.”
“I struggle to believe how anyone in the US could take Donald Trump seriously.
Every single word out of his mouth is either hyperbole, untrue, or straight-up delusion.”
Or are they snacking on those full-term unwanted babies?
Buddy will lead us all into WWIII if he gets in.”
What a mess.”
Australia, 37

“Harris made Trump look like the unqualified fraud he is.
She is absolutely right that other countries see him as an absolute joke.
“I thought Harris did well, and Trump was unsurprisingly more of the same.
He has made the US laughable on the world stage.”
