Trump falls into the trap he set for Biden
Politico

Donald Trump will face Joe Biden within days for the first of three presidential debates, and some of the president’s supporters are already bracing for a humiliating loss.

White House allies, Republican donors and some of Trump’s closest advisers worry that a recent, frenzied push by his top lieutenants to portray Biden as a seasoned debater — with the goal of raising expectations for the Democratic presidential nominee — is too late and too disingenuous to have an impact when the two meet on the debate stage next Tuesday.

They worry Trump has set a trap for himself by incessantly attacking Biden’s age and mental acumen. It’s a tactic the president has maintained even as his campaign publicly insists the former vice president is fully capable of a satisfactory performance. Unlike the president, who has spuriously claimed Biden is “probably” on performance-enhancing drugs, Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh attributed Biden’s “quite good” performance in past debates to the Democrat’s ability “to turn it on when the cameras come” after years of experience in politics.

“Eight years as vice president, three decades in the Senate, two debates as vice president and he just came through about a dozen debates in the Democratic primaries where he vanquished two dozen opponents — that’s the Joe Biden we’re expecting,” Murtaugh said.

1. I can turn it on when the cameras come.

After 40 years in academics, it's easy and natural. I have my professor voice that most of my family hasn't heard. Trump only has his circus carnival voice. I might even watch the show.

7. you know Biden is ready if Trump starts stalking him

Or performs an untoward physical act besides standing behind his podium. Without doubt, there is a pithy sentence which he will utter.

8. Trump projects the use of Adderall. Perhaps drug tests are in order.

I realize this is a Politico article, but I thought Star Member brooklynite would be smarter that to post something this moronic. I don't know how the debate will go, but I'm certainly not "bracing for a humiliating loss" by Trump! :rotf: Any more than I was before the 2016 debates with HilLIARy. :tongue:

This might explain why they have been putting a lid on Biden's appearances after 10 AM lately. Maybe his handlers are trying to reset his body clock. By having him sleep during the day he may be able to move back the time his sundowners kicks in until after the debate ends.

If Biden could really do that, he wouldn't need scripted questions and a teleprompter for his answers at his so-called press conference.

Do you really need a teleprompter to not answer questions because that is what Orange man wants him to do?

Others may disagree, but I didn't think Biden was that impressive in the democrats' primary debates.

Today is September 28th, just before the first presidential debate and Pedo Joe Biden put a "lid" on his campaign at 9:30am.  Trump will be doing the job of presidenting, making peace deals, getting the economy going again, shaming the evil donk party, and sleeping with a beautiful woman.

ON EDIT:  I was wrong the Biden campaign and pedo ring called a lid at 9:52 on9/28/2020. I own up to my mistakes.
