CNN on full damage control right now 😂

[whocares]

"I don't know what he said. I don't think he does either" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Did you just say groceries have only gone up 20%....have YOU actually bought groceries for yourself? Our groceries have more than doubled...shame on our government

[patriciatilley]

Joe You shut the pipelines down and destroyed millions of families. Joe its time to go.

[coyhutt]

It certainly seems that Biden had rehearsed answers but still struggled to repeat them. And a lot of the time Trump is speaking it looks like Biden is concentrating on listening to someone else.

[johnsonator]

Moderators are out of touch. Groceries that were $100 are now $200.. not an extra $20. No one's freaking out over a $20 increase. Wtf.

[txnhb]

Did he just say he didn't have any troops dying anywhere in the world? Did he forget about the failed Afghanistan evacuation?

[joannrinear]

You are crazy on the grocery prices! $100.00 to $120.00? More like $100.00 to $200.00!

[eeveecat]

Veterans are not better off. You're lucky if you can get an appointment. Trump is right.

[lukeholler]

Tomorrow Morning, - fake news will say Biden won the debate 😂😂😂

[ironcrusader]

Trump actually took pity on old joe here, he showed more care for him than joes whole team and family, Disturbing

[shanedawson-xtwt]

When Trump told him he doesn’t fire anybody that was amazing. Trump said firing people isn’t always easy but necessary then he turned Joe and asked him have you ever fired anybody? The look on Joe Biden’s face was priceless! I love how Donald Trump just speaks straightforward and right to the point!

[T-Bone-bqyg]

Mumbling, stumbling, confused, corrupt, career politician taking kickbacks for over 50 years

[shanedawson-xtwt]

When he lost his place in the first five minutes, it was over! Trump annihilated him and if you think Biden won this debate, there’s no hope for you ever!

[enriquemireles]

And think he took a week off. The country should demand a subtraction of a weeks pay from Biden.

[elvintorres]

🗣️Biden's voice sounded so feeble and his eyes looked like Pinnochio's wooden eyes.😮

[erlindarodriguez]

LATINOS WILL VOTE FOR PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP!!! MAGA 2024!!!!🇺🇸

[lisacooper]

After having a major heart attack, my husband, an US veteran, received nothing for about 7 months while I'm being told that an illegal immigrant down the road is receiving $7000.00 a month under Biden's administration. Pray for our nation!

[patriciatilley]

That was a stupid question, everyone knows it wasnt Trump, it was Pelosi who did this.

[adolfohernandez]

The debate is over but Biden is still standing at the podium waiting to be escorted off…😂
