No real answers or policy proposals, blaming every problem on migrants (while Biden's policy on the border is largely a continuation of Trump's), just a bunch of bullshit "everything was great, now everything sucks, but I will make it great again". I honestly cringed at Trump more, Biden's ramblings at least were funny.

I can't imagine anyone who's undecided at this point listen to this and say "This guy will make things right". Trump's entire objective is to let Biden stumble and fall and then cruise to presidency, but he makes every effort imaginable to prevent himself from it. No zingers or clever retorts against a literal corpse (aside from maybe one "I don't know what he said and he isn't either"), just and abysmal performance. Honestly, even someone like Ramaswami would've dogwalked Biden.

If anyone is capable of losing to Biden at this point, it's Trump.

lol no Trump was doing Trump shit which is taking potshots at the competition while selling his sympathizers a fascist fantasy. During the 2016 debates all the libs thought he was losing dismally while he was effectively bodying Clinton because he was following a different playbook. This is why he avoided the questions to veer into culture war shit. His base eats that up. Trump doesn't try to meet the liberal image of a qualified candidate but that's because he's a fascist and doesn't need to.
*Fake French accent* He knows the ridiculousness of his answers but he's amusing himself for it's his adversaries who are obliged to use words responsibly.
Trump did what he needed to do to appeal to his base whereas Biden uh I don't know what the fuck Biden was doing, mostly sundowning I think, but appealing to his base wasn't part of it.

but appealing to his base wasn't part of it.

Idk i'm sure a lot of biden supporters were like "wow he's just like me frfr"
