NextImg:Jake Tapper Exposes 'Nefarious' Reason For Trump's Debate Calamity
LOADINGERROR LOADING

Jake Tapper on Wednesday suggested the “unmistakable reason” that Donald Trump’s debate performance against Democratic rival Kamala Harris was so “wanting.”

The former president has “siloed himself off into an unhealthy media ecosystem,” said the CNN anchor, acknowledging that many politicians and Americans “limit their intake of information to that which comports with their preexisting beliefs and narratives.”

But “what we saw last night with Mr. Trump, however, is something far more nefarious” and “evidence of someone not just stuck in an information silo, but a misinformation silo,” he continued.

Tapper cited Trump’s baseless claim about immigrants eating pets in Ohio as “the most notorious evidence of that.”

Trump could have “scored real points” against Harris by talking about “inflation, the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal, serious actual issues related to the immigration crisis,” said Tapper.

But instead Trump “sounded like a fortune post come to life, which is great if you’re going after voters who want a focus on conspiracy theories and unhinged lies,” he added. “But if you’re trying to win a debate and an election, it’s for the dogs.”
