The first 2024 presidential debate was a microcosm of America's broader political landscape today – deeply polarized, filled with personal attacks, and often devoid of substantive policy discussions. It was a laughable spectacle that left this foreign viewer questioning the state of American politics. While the debate may have been laughable in its theatrics, it was also a sobering reflection of the serious issues at hand and the critical choices facing American voters. And if you can really call it a debate, Trump dominated it by miles, even with all the false claims he made, unchallenged by weak moderators. And I'm still not sure who's better at golf.
