Trump relishes a winning streak on the debate stage and in the courts

Donald Trump used to tell his fans that he’d win so much, they’d get tired of winning.

This week, that might be true for once.

President Joe Biden’s incoherent and painful debate performance in Atlanta on Thursday night gave Trump a massive victory in the most pivotal moment of the 2024 White House campaign so far as he seeks to win a non-consecutive second term and pull off a stunning political comeback.

Trump basked in the aftermath of the debate during a rally on Friday in Virginia and drew a link between what he said was the “decline” of both his opponent and America.

“As every American saw firsthand last night, this election is a choice between strength and weakness, competence and incompetence, peace and prosperity, war or no war,” Trump said.
