Trump didn’t answer a single fucking question and blathered on just as much- yet of course the focus is ALL on Biden. Trump didn’t even have to show up.

The hate was there before it began.

Not a word about what “King” Trump said or did…. And here we are. America deserves Trump at this point.

And that was the best strat for him. Biden was falling apart himself. Letting the man talk was the winning strategy. He was lying and exaggerating but at the end of the day, Biden's performance was so embarrasingly bad that they didn't even matter

"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

There are two ways to look at this. In one respect you can say why the hell are so many Americans still not grasping just how bad Trump is?

But then you need to assume the responsibility of being the more informed party and adjust your strategy not for the electorate you want but for the electorate you have.

And that electorate is demanding a better candidate for Democrats to appeal to said uninformed undecided swing state voters who will decide this election.

America deserves Trump at this point.

The rest of the world doesn't, he'll mess things up far beyond the US. Encouraging Russia/North Korea, weakening NATO, all sorts of trade wars, there's so much he could throw a wrench in.

Agreed, but what are we to do at this point. I’m going to vote my ass off but I am afraid it’s not going to be enough.

America deserves Trump at this point.

Only the people who vote for him deserve him. Kinda how that works.
