Donald Trump looks on as Joe Biden crumbles before his eyes

Democratic US President Joe Biden struggled with a shaky performance during the first presidential debate while his Republican rival Donald Trump unleashed a barrage of attacks.
The two oldest US presidential candidates in history traded deeply personal insults ahead of the November election.
Biden, sounding hoarse, made several verbal slips early in the CNN presidential debate on Thursday, local time.
In a notable gaffe, Biden stated, "We finally beat Medicare," prompting Trump to seize on the error, claiming Biden has "beaten Medicare to death and is destroying Medicare".
Both ageing candidates faced scrutiny over their ability to serve, with Biden's age and clarity under question, while Trump’s divisive comments and numerous legal issues remain significant liabilities.

you know you fucked up when even CNN is admitting Biden lost a debate

Sleepy Joe has had this cold for almost 4 years now,

The democratic party should be ashamed of themselves for elder abuse

“He’s right, he has beaten Medicare, he’s beaten it to death.” The funniest line in the debate 😂😂😂😂

That side-eye from Trump towards Biden was absolutely perfect! Got the message across without even needing a microphone. Absolutely well-played.

The real news is cnn have been covering and lying for him for years and still tried to cover for him in this debate. I have respect for older men and women who have worked hard and tried to be honest and fair as possible but it’s obvious that he is not one

After hearing this, I think the entire USA country should stop paying Federal taxes.

I think even Trump felt bad for the state of Biden. He stayed pretty civilized in not using his decline against him as much as he could of..

Napoleon: “Never interfere with an enemy in the process of destroying himself.” Trump is brilliant for heeding this wisdom 😊

"I'm Joe Biden, and I forgot this message."

[ConfusedRock]

The mainstream media acting surprised about something that we have all been seeing AND hearing for years now 🙄

[qtiuqmx]

JOE MADE THE RULES AND HAD A WEEK TO PREPARE AND THIS IS WHAT WE GET?

[timetofly]

Favorite Trump moment was when he said "What did he just say? I don't think he knows what he just said.".

Respect to Trump for not laughing while listening to all that nonsense.

[anoyingnomad]

And remember how all of them have claimed that this man is fine and healthy FOR YEARS. All of them collectively lied.

[supershaw]

There's no reason for Trump to be under scrutiny.

[dennisweidner]

Actually most of the personal insults. were delivered by Biden. Trump mostly criticized Biden's policies.

[spruce]

Trump took pity on Biden by not calling out his blithering response.

This has to be the first 4 year long “cold” I’ve ever heard of… TRUMP 2024🇺🇸
