Yeah, Biden's performance in the debate was terrible-- but he's still making sound decisions and surrounds himself with experienced and practical people 78-year-old Trump has been on the political stage for only eight years-- eight horrible years marked by enough chaos, corruption, and incivility to fill eighty years. Why go back to that? To build himself up, Trump constantly tears the country down. There is no shining city on the hill. It’s just "mourning" in America.
Trump made more than 30 false claims during the debate (to go with the more than 30,000 liess told during his four years as president). He dodged the CNN moderators’ questions, took no responsibility for his actions, and blamed others, mainly Biden, for everything that is wrong in the world.
Trump's debate bullshit included numerous claims that CNN and others have already debunked during the current presidential campaign or prior. Trump’s repeat falsehoods included his assertions that some Democratic-led states allow babies to be executed after birth, that every legal scholar and everybody in general wanted Roe v. Wade overturned, that there were no terror attacks during his presidency, that Iran didn’t fund terror groups during his presidency, that the US has provided more aid to Ukraine than Europe has, that Biden for years referred to Black people as “super predators,” that Biden is planning to quadruple people’s taxes, that then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi turned down 10,000 National Guard troops for the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, that Americans don’t pay the cost of his tariffs on China and other countries, that Europe accepts no American cars, that he is the president who got the Veterans Choice program through Congress, and that fraud marred the results of the 2020 election. All complete bullshit.
Trump also added some new false claims, such as his assertions that the US currently has its biggest budget deficit and its biggest trade deficit with China. Both records actually occurred under Trump.
The debate served as a reminder of what another four years of Trump would look like. More lies, grievance, narcissism, and hate. Supporters say they like Trump because he says whatever he thinks. But he mainly spews raw sewage. Trump attacks the military. He denigrates the Justice Department and judges. He belittles the FBI and the CIA. He picks fights with allies and cozies up to dictators.
It’s about time that major media organizations published editorials demanding that Trump step aside after his disastrous past eight years on the national scene.
