Donald Trump Jr.: Marianne Williamson Is ‘Actually Winning’ Democrat Debate

Donald Trump Jr. tweeted Tuesday that self-help author Marianne Williamson seemed to be winning the second Democrat debate.

“People are gonna think I’m trolling but compared to what else is up on this stage I think Marianne Williamson is actually winning this thing,” he tweeted. “This is amazing. No question she seems to be drawing the biggest applause of the night”:

Williamson indeed received some of the biggest applause of the night, on her responses on racism and reparations.

Marianne Williamson: "Anything less than $100 BILLION [in reparations] is an insult. I believe the $200-$500 BILLION is politically feasible today."

Trump Jr. was not the only one who thought Williamson was winning.

Washington Post columnist Chuck Lane tweeted, “Marrianne [sic] Williamson is winning some converts in my living room. Just sayin'”:

Williamson was among the top trending Democrat candidates during the debate, coming in second after Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), and ahead of Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH), Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Mayor Pete Buttigieg (IN), and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).
