This seems to be the media's take on Trump last night.

This reporter is rightfully getting slammed in the comments. Trump may have been a little less shouty but he sure as hell wasn’t more disciplined.

This is why I think if a smart, competent authoritarian is ever elected, we are sooo fucking screwed.

[Jamesyu]

1. Yeah and takes like that is why we have Trump.

2. A less manic Trump just meant everyone could hear his lies.

If this reporter was actually listening, it was even more demented than before.

[PatSeg]

9. Exactly

People could hear his ridiculous words instead of watching his childish rude behavior.

[Evergreen Emerald]

3. Such a low bar: he did not throw his poop

Because he did not throw his poop he was "very disciplined." I expect more from the Office of the President.

[The Genealogist]

7. True!

The bar is ridiculously low. The infotainment industry bosses LOVE Trump, and too many of their proxies are willing to do the bosses' bidding in building him up. Four years of crimes and norm shattering, and it all gets ignored or explained away.

5. Does anyone ever the first time he behaved "Presidential"?

I recall it was his first year and the press was all over it. Morning Joe was still in the honeymoon stage and sat there claiming "That's my President". Too bad, it last all of one day and hasn't been repeated since. Can't remember the event, but he makes a fool of them all.

6. Joe Scarborough should be ashamed. He's not, but he should be.

8. Imagine what they would have done if Biden had told a truth about one of Trump's

shitty fucked up kids .

10. I'll put down serious $$$ that any good will have may have gained last night

will be totally blown away today by something he says or does.

[Grammy23]

11. Was she watching his face throughout the debate?

He looked like a petulant 8 year old. He grimaced, widened his eyes. He cut his beady eyes over at Biden. Just looking at his face (even with the sound off) it is clear that tRump is not normal. And those faces were not Presidential.

12. TPM wrote about this

14. So he behaves for 12 more days and then what ?

Then he has four (maybe more) more years of complete madness. What fools.

[ooky]

15. He told more lies in this debate than the last one according to CNN

fact checker guy. If that's even possible.

He might not have been "as loud" but he was still a pig. The media's "Trump was better" is being over-hyped. 90 minutes of straight lying doesn't make a "debate".
