Discuss the debate as it is on going Monday.

No, it is furioso. White Rage is the perfect translation.

Kind of seems like mess.

Hillary wasn't his target. She's playing chess, being strategic and prepared, but the election is now a lucha libre match, where style and entertainment is more important, and he's going to smash her game.
I don't think it's pro-Trump or pro-Hillary, more a commentary on the current state of American politics. It could be slightly pro-Hillary, since the world spectating thinks Hillary is better and is confused about Trump.

That was more or less my read on it - interesting to see the range of interpretations though!

My take as well. He's bringing wrestling moves to a chess match, which is clearly going to make a mess of things.

It reminds me of the following:

And the entire world is confused as fuq.

Nthing intrigue over the spectrum of interpretations here. Definitely reads to me as a statement of complete confusion from the rest of the world. I think it comes across to some as pro-Trump since he seems to be such an unpredictable force and the general sentiment of the international community has moved from nervous giggles to cold-sweat fear, represented by the portrayal of him as a big scary force on the precipice of victory.

I was certainly dismayed to watch the political equivalent of a world-class chess match against a legitimate candidate and an orange Republican homunculus that feeds off the rage of the left-behinds.

I think portraying him as such is due to the fact that Clinton's not crushing him, not because they support him. Had any politician said even 1/100th of the things he's said, or been involved in any one of the scandals he's involved in, they'd be sunk. But he not only keeps on going, he's keeps going strong.

And SNL presents their take on the First Presidential Debate.

(Alec Baldwin's Trump is so spot-on, it's scary.)

Holy crap, I never realized Alec Baldwin was such a good actor. He needs an Emmy for this.

Have you watched 30 Rock? He's f*cking gold in that show.

Coffee is for closers.

I've actually never seen Glengarry Glen Ross.

The best.

Is that Young Chessmaster up there?

The most annoying part of that image is the shoddy photoshop.

That's not where he usually pulls stuff out of, but I laughed anyways.

Yes, much better.

Thank you
