Biden's Blunders and Trump's Tenacity Highlight Presidential Debate in the U.S.

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump faced off this Thursday in a historic debate that will be remembered for the Democrat's blunders and the Republican's confidence and self-assurance. American voters were left stunned by this debate, which is generating a wave of memes on social media as the candidates delivered a show difficult to surpass.

Within the Democratic Party, some representatives believe it might be time for a change in the candidate. Biden appeared calm but struggled to keep up with the debate's pace, often stammering, losing his train of thought, and showing signs of distraction to the audience.

Ten Key Moments from the Presidential Debate Between Biden and Trump

Biden's Blunders: The Democratic president had trouble articulating his messages and faced voice issues due to a cold, leading to mockery from Trump. Biden's stammering and incomplete sentences became fodder for jokes and ridicule on social media. Some users are questioning his mental capacity and deem him unfit to lead the country.

Trump's Aggressiveness: The Republican candidate presented himself as confident and somewhat aggressive, reacting mockingly to Biden's meanderings. The candidates did not shake hands at the beginning of the debate.

Economy: Biden criticized Trump's economic management during the pandemic, while Trump defended his tenure as having the greatest economy in U.S. history.

Abortion: Trump stated he would not block medication abortions if elected president. He mentioned three exceptions for allowing abortion: in cases of rape, incest, and risk to the mother's life. Conversely, Biden pledged to codify Roe v. Wade into law if re-elected.

Immigration: Trump accused Biden of opening the country to criminals and promised to seal the southern border and order a mass deportation. He claimed that his tenure saw the most secure border period. Biden dismissed these accusations as ridiculous, even though one of his recent measures has indeed been to close the border to illegal immigration.

Foreign Policy: Conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza were discussed. Biden accused Trump of wanting to leave NATO, while Trump criticized the spending on military aid for Ukraine and promised to end that country's war with Russia.

Climate Change: Biden accused Trump of inaction on this issue, calling it the "greatest threat facing humanity." The Republican claimed he was unwilling to sign the Paris Agreement because it would be costly for the U.S., while countries like Russia and China would get a free pass.

Insults and Personal Accusations: Biden called Trump a "fool" and a "loser," accusing him of disrespecting veterans and being voted by U.S. presidential historians as the worst president in the country's history. Trump mentioned his intent for "revenge" by winning the elections.

Fair Elections: Trump said he would only commit to respecting the presidential election results "if they are fair" and insinuated that Biden won the presidency through cheating. The Democrat did not respond to the insinuation directly.

Comical Moments: The debate included humorous moments, such as a discussion about golf, where Trump called for "not acting like children" and claimed to have the best physical condition and mental agility. Biden retorted by calling him childish.

The debate was broadcast on CNN at 9:00 pm. The next debate is organized by ABC News and will be held on September 10, when the parties will designate their final candidates in July and August. It is likely that the Democrats will consider changing their leader after what was seen this Thursday.
