Trump’s Interruptions and Biden’s Stumbles: Is Age Affecting Their Campaigns?

The most recent presidential debate highlighted the ugliness and inequality in America’s choice of candidacy. The republican candidate, Donald Trump, was disrespectful, loud, and constantly lied. Joe Biden on the other hand couldn’t get his head clear enough to defend himself and looked like a mumbling old man losing his mind. Either way, the candidate is an old white man who has no business trying to run the country. This article will discuss the facts of the debate and underscore the dark truth that America is headed back into the darkness and that’s because of the old politicians not allowing the younger generations to take their place.

In the most recent presidential debate, President Joe Biden’s performance was widely criticized and sparked considerable concern among Democrats. Throughout the debate, Biden struggled with several issues, including repeated stumbles, uncomfortable pauses, and a generally subdued speaking style. His performance was punctuated by moments where he appeared confused and struggled to articulate his points clearly, which only heightened existing concerns about his age and mental acuity​​.

Former President Donald Trump, on the other hand, adopted an aggressive strategy, frequently attacking Biden and keeping him on the defensive. Trump’s approach, which included a barrage of accusations and interruptions, made it difficult for Biden to maintain control of the debate. This tactic effectively amplified Biden’s struggles and contributed to the perception that Biden was not effectively countering Trump’s attacks​.

The fallout from the debate led to significant panic among Democratic strategists and voters. Many questioned whether Biden is the right candidate to lead the party in the upcoming election, with some even suggesting that the party should consider replacing him​.

Despite the difficulties, Biden’s campaign emphasized that the election remains crucial for the future of American democracy, and efforts continue to rally support and address the concerns raised by his debate performance​.

President Joe Biden’s team indicated that he had a cold during the debate. They mentioned this in response to criticisms of his performance, noting that he was negative for COVID-19. The team used the cold as an explanation for his hoarse voice and some of the difficulties he faced during the debate​

During the most recent presidential debate, fact-checkers identified multiple false or misleading claims made by Donald Trump. For instance, Trump inaccurately claimed that there were no terror attacks during his presidency and falsely stated that fraud in the 2020 election was significant enough to change the outcome, despite numerous investigations finding no evidence to support this claim​.

Trump also incorrectly asserted that Joe Biden wants to quadruple taxes for everyone, which is not aligned with Biden’s actual tax proposals​. Trump claimed that Democrat-run states allow after-birth abortions, which is false. Infanticide is illegal in all 50 states, and abortions after a woman has gone into labor are not medically feasible​.

So on one side we have a liar and a cheater, and on the other side someone who couldn’t think clearly during an important debate making people question his mental capabilities. Yikes America, if only we could get someone who isn’t a boomer to take both of their places. Preferably a not cisgender heterosexual christian white man, because if America is about freedom and equality, then we need to change up our political lineup.
