Trump slams moderator Kelly for indicating the previous president’s mental degeneration since the last campaign and calls ‘sloppy’ Chris Christie a ‘sick puppy.’
Trump’s Truth Social Verdict on GOP Debate: Ramaswamy Wins, Kelly Loses, and Christie Criticizes
President Donald Trump rated the Republican presidential debate on Truth Social, selecting software entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy winner and former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley second. Trump labeled debate moderator Megyn Kelly the “biggest loser” after she indicated he had cognitive decline in an interview. Trump blogged about the meeting late Friday, stressing his unique perspective and calling for a better judge.
After the Republican debate, Chris Christie called Trump’s favorite Ramaswamy the “most obnoxious blowhard in America.” Ramaswamy’s claim that Democrats and Jews wanted to replace whites with minorities raised worries.
Trump labeled Ron DeSantis’s debate performance “terrible,” but Christie a “sick puppy” unfit for the president. Trump reluctantly dubbed Haley “second place” and “Birdbrain.”

Trump Criticizes Megyn Kelly, Questions Mental Fitness, and Chooses Fox News Over Debate
Former President Donald Trump blasted Fox News host Megyn Kelly, with whom he clashed during the 2016 race. Trump said Kelly’s career had collapsed and that her demeanor hadn’t altered. In recent radio broadcasts, Kelly said Trump was mentally deteriorating due to his ignorance of countries and places.
Despite criticism, Kelly said she would vote for Trump over Biden. A contentious 2015 Republican presidential debate hosted by Kelly deteriorated their friendship, and Trump missed the final debate to attend a Fox News Town Hall with Sean Hannity.
