Up Dated: Trump Agrees to Biden's Invite For a Presidential Debate

One of my many concerns about Trump is that he wants to essentially take away the independence of the Federal Reserve if he regains the White House.  And all Fed decisions would need to be approved by him. His ego would come before what is fiscally prudent. Prudent is not in Trump's vocabulary. Off the wall policies like this could drastically devalue the dollar and tank exchange rates for the dollar.   As an Expat I'm really concerned how that the dollar could be weakened and the exchange rate of $ to THB could go down substantially (I'm stocking up on THB just in case). Exchange rates could be a real gamble under Trump, just something to think about between now and November. But of course we all know he only employs the best people. 😄

Sure beats the alternative a 

Global dollar and the cultural Marxist attempt to  open borders and the destruction of the middle class.

'opinion' says it all!

where are the clips of Trump falling off stages, bikes,  tripping up steps, forgetting what he was saying mid sentence, reading the teleprompter a little too much, walkig t wrong doors, relaying conversations to people that were already dead.

 

lets see video proof.... not opinions!

TV Host George Stephanopoulos  was asked what the first question should be in the debate.

His answer:

"Who won the Presidential Election in 2020?"

 

This seems to be the go-to first question for many political interviews these days.  The answer determines the direction of the interview.  If they give the MAGA response the interviewer knows he may as well be talking to mule.  

 

The first openly vehement anger response I saw by an interviewer do was in 2008, Larry King was the second person to on-air interview McCain's running mate Sarah Palin.  King would ask a question, and Palin would go into her word salad rant.  After 2 or 3 times he stopped asking questions, just sat there and glowered, and when she finally shut up he let maybe 15 seconds go by, then he said it's time for a commercial: when he was back on he made no mention of her.

Will either one remember who they are debating, once they arrive at the debating venue?

 

Whatever happened to Hillary?

 

If Biden donned a Hillary wig, then this debate just might get interesting.

 

 

He could always borrow her pants suit.

Naaa they don’t want a peanut gallery the Biden administration would like to debate the issues not clown stuff.I personally think trump will back out simply because he’s incapable of debating real issues and with a muted Mike he can’t blow it up + the real time fact checking naa he’s gonna weasel out he’s a coward after all

[JimmerJJ]

This is a spot-on explanation of how the Trumplican Party are trying to undermine the very election integrity that they are always screaming about.

There is no point in predicting if there will be a debate, or how well they will do.

 

If neither candidate collapses on the stage, they will call it a win. 

 

Both candidates will say something stupid, and there will be plenty of material for posts here.

I beg to differ if it’s a real debate about real issues Joe will blow trump out of the water and trump knows it

The point is that Trump fans will claim that Trump wins if he just shows up.

 

However, as happened the last two times, Trump's manic performance will lose the popular vote for him, lots of swing voters will abandon Trump after the first debate, unless Biden has a complete collapse.

I hope so.

But Trump has a way of appealing to the know-nothings, he has mastered that.

Oh thats better for another thread, but in my humble opinion that in a pure political-philosophical, sense, Trumpophobics and Democrats are the intellectual heirs of Ilych.

Wonder if Biden is going to ask for subtitles.

Trump is now demanding a drug test for the debates.

Biden should counter with a demand for penile mushroom shape inspection and smell test.

We will not see it because Trump will back out. What we'll see is Trumps fan starting to whine about the debate rules and how unfair they are, after they receive instructions! 😅

Trump's health looks pretty rough too. He seemed quite feeble the last year of his presidency. I think he may have suffered from a stroke. He slowed down alot and had a hard time with stairs. 

Now, he has huge problems with coherence and rambles like never before. No doubt, he is at least semi senile. 

 

A steady diet of hamburgers is not benefiting his 312 lb. frame.

Trump seems okay when he does his courthouse rants, it's only rally speeches that trip him up. Maybe he gets tired, because his speeches are so long.

 

The debates aren't that long, so Trump should be okay.

Which tells us you don't understand Marxism or Liberalism and why they are different.

 

Not even the formerly Socialist UK Labour party has anything to do with Marxism these days.

 

Practically speaking, Trump is closer to the Communist leadership style, with power focused in the Executive.
