“Will you shut up man?”
Donald Trump entered tonight’s debate knowing that he had no chance of winning if it came down to the facts, the truth, or even style. So instead Trump decided to try to blow up the debate entirely, talking over Joe Biden every time Biden was making a good point or calling out a Trump failure.
Joe Biden was having none of it, and kept telling Donald Trump to pipe down in increasingly aggressive fashion. Moderator Chris Wallace tried but failed to get Trump to stop blabbing. After Trump’s motormouth tactics had reached grossly offensive territory, Biden casually said, “Will you shut up man?”
To give you an idea of just how widely despised Donald Trump is, and how thoroughly Trump has debased the office of President of the United States, it’s likely that Joe Biden will score points for having told Trump to “shut up.”
