Donald Trump’s incredible self-own
Anyone who has properly followed this election cycle is well aware that Joe Biden is a bright, smart guy who won the nomination for good reason. But plenty of people only listen to the loudest soundbites, which is why Donald Trump has frequently tried to deflect from his own visibly worsening cognitive issues by insisting that Biden is somehow the one who’s going senile.
Given Biden’s consistent lead over Trump in the polls, this hasn’t exactly been a winning strategy. Even if some voters have been conned into believing that there’s something wrong with Biden, it’s clear that the majority of them would still rather have Biden over Trump, no matter what kind of shape Biden might be in. Like so many other of Trump’s schemes, last night we saw this particular gambit go from being ineffective to outright backfiring on Trump.
Donald Trump baited all these people into tuning in last night out of curiosity, just to see how far gone Biden might be. Instead they saw Joe Biden in his finest hour, giving the emotional speech of a lifetime, demonstrating that he’s one of our sharpest leaders. With this masterful speech, Biden was always going to win the night – but Trump unwittingly made it even easier for him.
