The recent debate between President Biden and former President Donald Trump, you might remember as being quite a spectacle, but what you may not realize is that it was even worse than you remember, for both candidates.
For the first time in six debates over the last eight years, Trump was declared the “winner” according to snap polls and reporters. However, this doesn’t mean that Trump gave a stellar performance. In fact, it was quite the opposite. He was worse than ever before. Throughout the debate, every single answer he gave was filled with prejudice, misleading statements, and outright lies. It was truly a performance of mendacity and deceit.
Reading through the transcript, it becomes clear that Trump’s nonsense became outright laughable. It was as if he was playing a character rather than speaking honestly. The day after the debate, Biden appeared far more energetic and vibrant at a rally in North Carolina. On the other hand, Trump continued to lie about matters big and small, insisting that he won the 2020 election and preparing his supporters for another burst of rage if he loses this year.
One thing that stood out in the debate was Trump’s racism. At one point, he tried to turn a discussion on inflation into one on immigration, claiming that immigrants were taking away black and Hispanic jobs. As NAACP president Derrick Johnson pointed out, there’s no such thing as a “Black job” or a “Hispanic job.” Trump failed to explain his remarks further, leaving it as an embarrassing moment.
But it didn’t stop there. Trump also used the word “Palestinian” as an insult, saying that Biden had become like a Palestinian. This kind of language is not only disrespectful but also reveals a lack of understanding and empathy. Trump’s lies also played a significant role in the debate. He often exaggerated and made statements that were far from the truth, contributing to the idea that honesty was not his strong suit.
The Trump/Biden debate was not just a run-of-the-mill political event. It was a showcase of Trump’s worst qualities – his prejudice, his falsehoods, and his lack of integrity. As we move forward, it’s important to remember the true nature of what unfolded on that stage.
