CHAOS ON CONFRONTATION

‘Will you shut up more, man!’: Look at the moment that marked the Biden and Trump debate The two presidential candidates often spoke simultaneously while the moderator sought order Writes: HinaPosted: September 30, 2020 8:25 am 8898191 Mario Tama / Getty Images / AFP Facebook Twitter Messenger E-mail Republican President Donald Trump and Democratic opponent Joe Biden clashed fiercely over Trump’s corona crisis management, over the economy and taxes, in Tuesday’s first debate marked by Trump’s incessant incursions. In a very chaotic presidential debate, Biden attacked Trump for the way he led the coronavirus crisis, saying the president panicked and failed to protect Americans while Trump defended his way. "We did a great job. You would never do such a good job, it's not in your blood," Trump said. Biden accused Trump of opening up the economy at the cost of covid victims, and Trump of Biden of wanting to close the country at the cost of the economy. They also disagreed on the vaccine where Trump said it would take weeks for the vaccine to be ready and Biden that it would not be ready by the middle of next year. Constant Trump incursions Some of the thoughts of the two candidates were difficult to discern because both were falling into replicas, but Trump far surpassed Biden in that. The two candidates often spoke simultaneously while the moderator asked for order. Chris Wallace had to warn several times, especially the president. “Honestly, you’re more intrusive,” Wallace told Trump. “Please let the vice president speak,” he asked Trump. And Biden asked the president at one point, "Will you shut up more, man." Inflammatory Trump and the more moderate Biden debated a wide range of urgent political issues, including a coronavirus pandemic that killed 200,000 people in the U.S., protests against racial injustice, and the fight for the Supreme Court, but did not shy away from serious accusations. “You are the worst president America has ever had,” Biden accused Trump, adding that it would be good for him to stop playing golf and get to work. “I did more in 47 months than you did in 47 years,” Trump replied. All according to epidemiological rules The Republican president and his Democratic opponent did not shake hands when entering their first debate, which they held at a distance determined by epidemiological protocols. The two candidates entered the stage at the same time and smiled at moderator Chris Wallace of Fox News who explained that they would not shake hands. He also said that the candidates were not given questions in advance and that he chose the topics. A ninety-minute debate, the first of three scheduled, with a limited number of spectators and physical distance, was held at the University of Cleveland. Organizers said there were about 80 people in the audience, including family members, campaign staff, health and safety officials and journalists. Biden, 77, has a consistent advantage over Trump, 74, in opinion polls ahead of the Nov. 3 election. Appointment to the Supreme Court The first fifteen minutes of the debate, which began at 3 a.m. CET, were devoted to the appointment to the Supreme Court. Trump on Saturday nominated Judge Amy Coney Barrett as a Supreme Court judge, a position held until her death by Ruth Bader Ginsburg .

BIDEN A fiery duel like no other: They shouted at each other and accused each other, the host barely restrained them Candidates for the Supreme Court must be confirmed by a majority in the Senate currently controlled by Republicans. "We won the election. The election has consequences," Trump said, adding that the Senate has a Republican majority. Trump once again praised the new possible judge, while Biden pledged that the Senate on her appointment would vote after the election. Democrats are trying to postpone the decision and believe that the winner of the presidential election in November should decide on a lifelong appointment among nine members of the Supreme Court. Biden did not answer the question whether he would support an increase in the number of judges in the Supreme Court if he won the election. The debate shifted from the appointment to the Supreme Court to the issue of health insurance. After Trump clarified the health proposal, Biden said, "He doesn't have a health plan. The fact is, this man doesn't know what he's talking about." Shortly afterwards, he claimed, "Everyone knows he's a liar." I paid millions in taxes As part of the economics topic, the moderator asked Trump if the reports published by the New York Times on Sunday that he paid $ 750 in federal income tax in 2016 and 2017 were true. “I paid millions of dollars” but I don’t want to pay taxes if I have losses, he said. The NYT announced that Trump has not paid income tax for 10 years from the past 15 years, despite earning $ 427.4 million from his reality shows and other licensed projects in 2018. Joe Biden released his tax returns for 2019 ahead of the debate on Tuesday. Documents released by the Democratic candidate for the White House on his website show that Biden and his wife paid $ 299,346 in federal taxes last year. Asked if he thought he should be re-elected, Trump said no president has done more for the country than him. "There has never been an administration that has done what I did," Trump said, mentioning, among other things, the economy and national unity. He said Biden was a puppet of the radical left. Racial discrimination and white supremacists They also clashed over the issue of racial discrimination, where Biden accused Trump of being a racist and generating racial hatred. Trump returned the ball saying Biden, when he was a senator, voted for a 1990s law that went to the detriment of African Americans. Asked if he would condemn the white supremacists, Trump said, "Sure, I want to do it." But he did not condemn them. He then added that the worst violence in the country comes from the far left. CBS poll: Most viewers of the debate are “annoyed,” thinking Biden won According to a CBS poll following the U.S. presidential debate on Wednesday, most viewers felt the debate had a “negative” tone, with only 17 percent saying they felt positive vibes during the confrontation. The poll found that 48 percent of people think Democratic candidate Joe Biden was better, and 41 percent think Donald Trump won the debate. Others think they are equal. CBS notes that more people watching the debate supported Biden. A total of 69 percent of those surveyed said they were "annoyed" by the Trump and Biden debate, and only 17 percent said the discussion "informed" them. Nearly 20 percent of people said she was pessimistic. (China)
