In the beginning, the election had been a circus act. I’ll never understand why fossils are allowed to govern our country. Most old people wouldn’t even work in a school at their age. Why don’t they choose to retire and enjoy life on a yacht somewhere? However, when someone tried to assassinate Donald Trump (which I hate happened because now he walks around like he’s 50 Cent), Biden decided to drop out of the race and instead endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to run in his spot. 

     Upon hearing this news, I leaped for joy. I, a 6’1” two-hundred-something-pound man, jumped and clicked my heels. I do feel bad for the earthquake my neighbors felt when I landed. But if the only presidential candidates you were stuck with at first were two old farts that argue like preschoolers, you would jump for joy too at the sign that our country is not cooked.

     Harris has had the best campaign that I have lived to see (even though I’ve only seen four). I’ve loved her marketing and how in touch she is with younger voters. However, my favorite part was the presidential debate.

     On Sept 10, Harris and Trump had their first, maybe only, presidential debate. It went exactly  how I thought it would. Intellectually, Harris versus Trump in a debate is like those “napalm bomb versus newborn baby” memes. I found it humorous when he would get mad and speak over Harris. It was like witnessing an 80-year-old baby throw a tantrum. I also found his blatant misinformation funny for how stupid it was. He’s made plenty of outlandish and false claims during the debate. It was so bad that he was being fact-checked right on the spot.

     Although I did find these claims funny for their foolishness, the sad reality is that there's always going to be a dummy who believes them. His almost cult-like following would think half the stuff coming out of his mouth is true. So, it was a terrible situation when he claimed Haitian immigrants in Ohio were killing and eating pets. 

     This statement was false, but this unfortunately sparked the biggest hate campaign against immigrants I’ve seen in years, especially Haitian ones. Ever since then, closeted Nazis finally came out and began harassing immigrants. I’ve seen a video of one calling a literal child a “mud monkey.” This is why misinformation is a dangerous subject, and gives another reason why he’s not fit for president. 

Since the debate, Trump hasn’t been in the limelight lately. I guess the embarrassment on live television finally made him close his mouth. The only thing I heard was him bringing the king of incels, Elon Musk, on stage, but even that wasn’t relevant enough to spark buzz.

     After Trump’s hilarious loss, everyone knew he wouldn’t be back for another debate, but I could only hope for one more. I’m excited to see how this election wraps up.
