Great points Anne, but Trump is the ad-hominem attack master.
In that category, we know Kamala wants to say her favorite line, "I'm speaking", paired with sassy smile.
He can preemptive that by saying "excuse me, she's speaking" at the first instance of a moderator and Kamala talking over each other. Need to fluster her early on, and give her some anxiety by taking away her most comfortable attack line.
Contrary to popular belief.. I think Trump learns from his mistakes….I hope! I’m guessing Harris is over preparing for the duel and will blurt out taglines when her brain locks up.
The more Trump restrains himself the more pissed she will get. Perhaps a fainting spell will help her escape.
Thank you Ann for Five Important Debate Tips for Trump. We the people need all the straight talk we can get. Fight! Fight! Fight!🇺🇸 Will be rooting for the best for and of President Trump tomorrow night.
I re-upped for another year just so I could read and watch your content and make comments to you. This is the only venue I have to actually talk to you. I had thought of paying the $1,000 so I could dialogue directly with you, but the Kamalanomics won't let me. In any case, I hope you read my comments from time to time even if some of what I say displeases you. People who really love you will talk straight to you and not be "yes-men."
Now, on to my comments. I appreciate all the advice you offer President Trump. Every word of it is solid.
Trump should definitely bring up Kamala's support for reparations, defunding the police, BLM rioters, and dismantling I.C.E. He should mention all of these things. Trump needs to hammer Kamala all night relentlessly on the invasion (aka, "immigration,"). He needs to mention how they've been flying them into select cities in the dead of night, with no vetting. He needs to mention how gangs of Venezuelans have taken over apartments in Colorado, and how Haitians are killing and eating cats and ducks in Ohio.
Trump should be prepared to mention stats on how much gasoline, food staples, rents, and crime have gone up, but I don't expect him to have those things memorized. He will mention Kamala's flip-flopping and stealing his ideas, but I wonder if he'll remember to mention her support for reparations, defunding police, and abolishing I.C.E. We know the moderators (yes, his other opponents) will try to stop him from saying too much whenever possible and feed him unimportant questions.
I don't know how many questions on foreign policy will be asked but I do expect the "Russia-Russia-Russia" issue to be mentioned at least once.
I was a bit perplexed when you mentioned Trump saying Kamala was being too tough on crime. When did he ever say that? Where did you hear that? Maybe it was in relation to the J6ers? I was also perplexed when you mentioned he should mention her flip-flops and then said he shouldn't complain about them. Which is it?
You know the Kamaleon Campaign just slapped together some policy positions in the middle of the night last night to feed their media lapdogs some talking points and take this away from being brought up by Trump.
Trump needs to bring up how Kamala has been hiding and lying but he needs to sound and look presidential. He can't raise his voice or look mean. We know she has said almost nothing to the media.
We know the media, or Harris, will mention E. Jean Carroll and the other cases to distract Trump and get an emotional rise out of him and he shouldn't take the bait, but the moderators and Harris will try to get him to waste 15-20 minutes on those topics.
Trump needs to capitalize on the fact that Harris has said almost nothing to the media and when she does, she speaks in vague platitudes void of specifics. We know she lies like a dog and none of what she says is to be believed.
I don't expect Trump to memorize much but he needs to bring up her terrible record on crime as AG of California.
He might mention the BLM riots but that's like mentioning the Battle of Thebes by Alexander. It's ancient history in our swipe-left society. It caused billions in damage so it's worth mentioning. Jussie Smollett may as well be Judas Iscariot that story is so ancient now. Comparing I.C.E. to the KKK might be good for an emotionally jarring comment to the black community, as well as what Kamala did to blacks while AG of California.
Immigration is his strongest issue (the GOP's strongest issue), so Trump should hammer it all night. He really should ignore any dumb question the media asks and concentrate on attacking Kamala in a calm, presidential voice all night, without moving too much or changing his facial expressions. No frowning or grinning.
The regular folks in Colorado, Ohio, New York and California are seeing the results of the invasion in real time now. They're seeing the feces-laden sidewalks. They're seeing the stores emptied out. He should talk crime connected with immigration all night. If mentioning her being in charge of the border was a drinking game, people should be hammered by the end of the debate. (Please drink responsibly and don't drink and drive!) It's hard for the news media to cover up the crime when so many regular people are watching the gangs take over their apartment buildings at gunpoint and Haitians are skinning cats and cutting the heads of ducks in the parks to eat them.
Yes, the moderators will waste time on abortion like they'll waste time on Trump's legal cases (aka election interference). Trump isn't as smart as J.D. Vance so he can't think on his feet as fast. He might've been able to in his 40s and 50s but not now. Trump should be simple about the abortion issue and put it to rest with a simple statement how it's now up to the States, and tell the moderators ask any further questions are just tools to get women upset and they should take the issue up with their Secretaries of State and state legislatures.
Now I have something to say in response to this excellent advice: Trump is never going to read a word of it. I could hope someone who reads your Substack that has Trump's ear in his inner circle would pass your advice along, because otherwise, not a word of it will reach Trump's eyes, and this piece will end up being merely entertainment for your subscribers.
If you really wanted this advice to help Trump prep for tomorrow night's debate, you would call him. You have his number, right, or at least the number of someone who can pass a message to him. I think he would talk with you if you were nice. Although I think it's possible that Tulsi Gabbard might mention some of the talking points you've raised in this piece, since she appears pretty bright to me, I can't be sure, and even if she did, she wouldn't say it like you can. No one can do that.
I want you to be more like Ellen Ripley and less like Pvt Hudson.
If you called Trump, apologized for being nasty to him, and told him you support him, and realize how important this election is to the future of the country, and that you're on board with him (as RFK Jr. did), you could convey all these excellent points you've raised in this thoughtful piece and be a much more powerful ally in the fight to defeat the Democrat machine.
You could then have him on your Substack for an interview! You'll gain your brother; you will both have peace and restored fellowship, and you will be back in the game in a deeper and more influential way. I think that's the best course of action for you.
Right now, this piece is the equivalent of yelling at him from the stands instead of being a coach on the floor of the game in the huddle.
Just more unsolicited but candid advice from one of your most ardent, loyal, genuine, fans.
Forget the October surprise. Images of ducks, kittens, and puppies pleading for voters to vote Trump to protect them from the Kamala-imported Haitians eating them in Ohio is the September Shocker.
These memes are over the target as they trigger leftist loons who falsely accuse them of racism. In reality it’s their high emotional value they worry about.
The left loves the Third World cultures who eat everything. Hide your pets, and your children.
You are absolutely right, Ann. Kamala is a liar. Trump needs to simply just focus on her failure as a prosecutor and vice president, not attack her personally. Trump needs to just be quiet at points in the debate and let her sink herself in trying to explain her policies moving forward.

That’s funny though.
His line was better.
God bless you Ann, still trying to steer him right no matter how many times he sticks his fingers in his ears and says, “lalala I can’t hear you.”
You can count on Kamala getting the script in advance.
Why do we always allow Pravda on the Potomac to run these debates?
Attack her policies. And don't cackle

Words of wisdom, Ann. Now let’s see if he can absorb them.
I can imagine you saying all of that with a Trump voice.
Is he going to hire Kris Kobach this time?
Forget the October surprise. Images of ducks, kittens, and puppies pleading for voters to vote Trump to protect them from the Kamala-imported Haitians eating them in Ohio is the September Shocker.

Hate these so called debates. I hope he reads you Ann and is taking notes. Not holding my breath though...I will READ the results after the fact!
What are liberals son worried about? Trump should mention that since the Dobbs decision overturned Roe v Wade US abortions have gone up!
Good advice!
Also, at some point, Kamala should say something like "You should have voted for DeSantis, you idiots!", if she's taking Ann's advice too.
