Trump doesn’t need to be this rude
_______________________________

He’s speaking with the pent up rage of every one of us. I’ll allow it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Trump is not out of control. It’s a tactic.

“If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him.”

Perfectly said! I kept thinking there was a quotation that applied but couldn’t recall it. That’s it!

Excellent points LJ.

Trump is winning a war against pure evil.

Isn’t it ridiculous there are normies out there with hair still on fire, wringing their hands again? Not even a mustard seed of faith do some have.

So glad you are here with your sage wisdom.

Exactly. Trump was applying psychological pressure.

It worked.

That’s a good point. Trump knows Biden is rude and would have interrupted him to no end if had allowed him to do so (remember Paul Ryan?), so he flipped the script on him and got in his face early. I don’t know how much Biden was flustered by it, but if forced Biden to play the “Geez, will this guy stop interrupting me?” routine, and forced Biden to try to pretend to be “the calm one”.

He still interrupted Trump, but not as much as I think he had originally planned. His handlers got him all juiced up on meds, and he was ready to try to bully POTUS. When they came to the podium Biden was flippant and disrespectful. He made a rude comment like “How you doing man?” or something like that. Trump had a stern look on his face and responded stoically. So I think you’re right that Trump decided to shut the disrespect down by putting Biden on the defensive. That tactic might have prevented Trump from being a little more eloquent in some of his answers, but it was probably better than the alternative.

Posted in a discussion thread over on Instapundit:

Anchorman Hephaestion • an hour ago

Trump got Biden to denounce his base's actions (rioting), their pet project (Green New Deal), and their religion (socialism).

If that was his strategy, I gotta say, it's was good.

The radicals are the only motivated people on the Left.

Biden just punched em in the gut.
