While the main takeaway from Thursday night’s presidential debate was the diminished mental faculties of President Joe Biden, former President Donald Trump showed just how formidable he is when he is disciplined in his rhetoric.

The Trump that showed up to the debate last night was one who is at ease and on message as he seeks to reclaim the job he held from 2017-21. And with concerns about Biden’s mental fitness now front and center due to his abysmal performance, the former president could not be happier with the way the night went for him.
