Despite what the MSM might try and tell you, the mighty Trumpster emerged from the first debate a clear winner. Indeed it was so great that immediately after the final bell Trump was the recipient of a flurry of awards.

Most interruption in a single debate – Often accelerating to speeds of over 60 interruptions per hour, Trump cruised past the record he set himself back in 2016. Even the moderator, who seemed to be dwelling under the strange belief that he was meant to ask questions, was no match Donny’s endless stream intertrumptions. In this way, he successfully prevented the watching audience from learning anything about anything. Now that’s democracy in action.

Best newcomer award – Bit of a surprise here given that Donny boy is the sitting president. However, the committee decided that since he behaved like a ill-tempered three-year-old he really had to rated along side other toddlers and who could doubt that this was the single best presidential debate performance by an under 5?

KKK lifetime award – Obviously this has been coming for a while, but the “KKK seal of approval” Trumpster finally hit legend status with his unflinching support for white supremacy. Just when Biden thought he had him cornered into having to condemn white supremacists, the Trumpy one turned it around by using the platform to issue a call to arms to gun-totting, far-right crazies everywhere. Stand by and (presumably) prepare for the night of the long knives part 2 – doesn’t get more presidential than that.

Winner – worst presidential candidate ever – And so the big gong of the night also went to the mighty Trump – was there really ever any doubt? In all honesty have you ever seen a more complete package of dishonesty, complete lack of personal integrity, abject lack of intelligence, complete incompetence and total detachment from reality? Trump is probably the worst political candidate anywhere since Count Dracula ran for Romanian presidency under the slogan “I am of your blood, or at least I will be once I’ve drunk it”.

As Donny boy has said before the winning just never stops with the Trumpster. But where there are winners, there also have to be losers and the big loser in yesterday’s debate was American democracy, which took a 90-minute long pounding. Indeed, shortly after the debate ended, the Statue of Liberty, claiming intolerable stress, resigned her position and emigrated to New Zealand. Some say things couldn’t get worse – but then we still have the 2nd and 3rd debates to come!
