Trump says he assumes Biden's ‘going to do great’ at first presidential debate

Trump says he has done more in 47 months than Biden has in 47 years

President Trump said on Monday that he assumes Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s “going to do great” during the first presidential debate scheduled for next week, then went on to slam the former vice president.

“I've done more in 47 months than he's done in 47 years and that's absolutely true,” Trump told “Fox & Friends” in an exclusive interview on Monday.

“Fox News Sunday” anchor Chris Wallace has been selected to moderate the first presidential debate between President Trump and Biden, the non-partisan Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) announced earlier this month.

The debate is scheduled to take place Tuesday, Sept. 29 in Cleveland.

President Trump is reportedly taking a new approach to the upcoming presidential debates by preparing, which is something he didn’t do in 2016.

The incumbent is studying Biden’s idiosyncrasies, hoping to trip up the former vice president and avoid any missteps from four years ago, Politico reported earlier this month.

In 2016, Trump refused to conduct a mock debate, he didn't allow anyone to play former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and he would not simulate the question-and-answer dynamic between moderator and candidates.

Host Steve Doocy asked Trump on Monday, “As you look to combating Joe Biden, what are you thinking?”

“I think he's a professional,” Trump said in response. “I don't know if he's all there, but I think he's a professional.

“I have to assume that he's a professional and that he can debate,” he continued.

“I don't understand what's going on. He doesn't seem to be answering questions and he can't answer questions and much worse a little while ago when he was on the stage with the Democrats, he couldn't do well.”

I would also expect Beijing Biden will wear an earpiece for offstage “assistance”.

Trump is right to do this.

If Demented Perv Biteme manages to just remain upright and not step on his male member it will be hailed as a genius.

If Biden doesn’t pee himself, the media will say he won the debate.

Biden campaign insiders say he’s pumped up on anti-dementia drugs whose side effect is incontinence. Make the debate format standing up, no podiums or tables.

Remember all of the pre-debate hype around sHrillary’s health issues (including being tossed feet first into a waiting van after she passed out)

Yeah, I was hoping it was a wood chipper.

Sure, with all the Adderal and speed pumped into him he should do fine. Do we want a brain-addled drug addict as president though?

Question for Joe...you mentioned that 2 hundred million Americans would be dead from covid by the end of your talk. How many zeros behind 2 would make that number?

If Biden is as mentally far gone as he appears and everyone is saying ... then the debates should be a cakewalk for Trump. This should be as easy as it gets in a debate. Trump needs to land a KO.

I cannot imagine Biden won’t do well. He’s been rehearsing for weeks and probably knows the questions that will be asked. That’s the modus operandi for Democrats.

Wallace should change the questions before the debate. Let the rats deal with that.

Well the fact is Biden didn’t do terrible in the democrat debates, he was by no means the best debater on the stage but did totally collapse either. So it’s probably wise to set expectations high and then hope Biden chokes anyway.
