It didn’t come as a surprise that the first US presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump was a hot mess.
There were some predictable moments. Trump is incapable of participating in a reasonable conversation about policies or waiting his turn to speak. Biden on the other hand should probably have been considering retirement over a presidential run.
Despite all of this, both declared victory, while the rest of us engaged in a collective facepalm.
Joining us in that facepalm was Trevor Noah who summed things up perfectly.
Per Mashable:
“We should just let these guys wrestle,” Noah says. “Just let them physically wrestle each other. Because the reality is, everyone’s made up their mind. There’s no such thing as an undecided voter, it’s just people too embarrassed to say how they’ll vote. So let’s entertain America at least, with two old men wrestling. And the winner gets a free hip replacement.”
Take it all in:
A couple of fact-checkers wouldn’t go amiss next time Biden and Trump get together.
“I’m telling you, man, they need to switch things up, they need to figure something out. Do anything! Give the next moderator a spray bottle just to spritz them anytime they interrupt. I promise you Trump will be quiet, because his hair turns into a gremlin if it gets wet.”
That massive New York Times investigation into Trump’s taxes from 2000 to 2018, found that he spent $70 000 on styling his hair for television, which he claimed as expenses.
That spray bottle might just work.
