You’ll be able to hear Trump on Joe and the mod’s mike.

This seems fair; I’d even go for soundproof booths.

Does the moderator’s mike also have an on/off switch? Who operates that?

Trump can do what he needs to do in 2-minute bites. Lots of practice with tweets.

Unfortunately, cutting Biden off will work in his favor.

Nothing like changing the rules after everything has been agreed upon.

Trump should tweet when he is unable to talk.

Not a bad thing, Joe’s debate strategy has been to interrupt

Who needs a frigging “moderator.”

Have the candidates alternately ask each other questions.

Now THAT would be worth watching.

“Debate commission adopts new rules to mute microphones to allow Trump, Biden 2 minutes of uninterrupted time per segment.”

Liberal AP’s convoluted way of saying Trump will be cut off after 2 minutes. They have all their bases covered

You really think this is going to apply to Biden. Its just a unilateral move to screw the people and Trump

Maybe Trump should schedule a Peaceful protest out in front of Traitor Joe’s Basement
