Donald Trump came to play hardball. He's got a debate with Kamala Harris set for September 10, guess who is helping him prepare for it?
None other than Tulsi Gabbard.
Before we delve into this latest development, let's take a quick trip down memory lane. This is what happened the last time Gabbard faced Kamala in a debate:

Direct it directly into our veins.
This exchange likely ended Kamala's campaign in 2019. And now you know why they didn't do a primary after Biden dropped out. Listen to how the audience cheered for Gabbard as she humiliated Kamala.
Anyway, we have to wonder just how mad Kamala is Gabbard is helping Trump. The Biden-Harris administration already put Gabbard on the 'Quiet Skies' watch list (for suspected domestic terrorists) after Gabbard criticized the administration in recent interview.
Perhaps revenge is a dish best served at a debate.
Anyway, on to the news:
🚨Just in: President Trump has brought in Tulsi Gabbard for debate preparation against Kamala Harris. @TulsiGabbard has joined at least one practice session with Trump at Mar-a-Lago.

Here's more from The New York Times:
Former President Donald J. Trump has begun preparing for his debate with Vice President Kamala Harris and has brought in the former Democratic congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard to help sharpen his attacks in a recent practice session at his private club and home, Mar-a-Lago, according to two people with knowledge of Mr. Trump’s schedule.
Ms. Gabbard, who left the Democratic Party after her 2020 presidential run and has rebranded herself as a celebrity among Trump’s base of support, has long been friendly with Mr. Trump and was briefly considered to be his running mate. But her involvement in Mr. Trump’s debate preparation, which has not previously been reported, was partly because of her own performance in a 2019 Democratic presidential primary debate, when Ms. Gabbard eviscerated Ms. Harris in a memorable onstage encounter.

Tulsi unleashed!

Good that Trump has brought her in and that he is prepping for the debate.
It's a smart move.
Oh this is fantastic 🔥 https://t.co/bvaSoEfgOL

It really is.
Brilliant move. Using Tulsi to prep for a debate with Kamala Harris is F’ing BRILLIANT!!!

I can’t wait for this debate. https://t.co/fCiR7QoabJ
It really is.
Not just because Gabbard is good at debating, but because it has to weigh on Kamala psychologically, too. There's no way Kamala forgot what happened at that debate. None.
One of the smartest decisions the Trump campaign has made. Tulsi can instruct him on absolutely destroying Kamala with a laundry list of issues that liberals care about which Kamala has been complete dogs**t on. https://t.co/cGwGkw8280

She sure can.
Shocked Trump is doing debate prep to begin with.
— Red Eagle Politics (@RedEaglePatriot) August 16, 2024
He ended Biden's career off the cuff. Some say this means he's taking it more seriously, others say changing his style too much could be a risk.
Regardless, preparing with the woman who derailed Kamala's 2020 run can't go wrong. https://t.co/uKW8BlxOtI
In fairness, Biden's performance -- more specifically the Democrats/media realization Biden would lose -- ended Biden's career.
But Trump's goal is to appeal to the wide swath of swing/independent voters. Debate prep is wise. Debate prep with Gabbard is just plain smart.
