'A reality show': World reacts to Trump-Biden debate
BBC ^ | June 28, 2024 | Rachel Looker and BBC Monitoring

Posted on 06/29/2024 6:47:33 AM PDT by DoodleBob

Donald Trump told lies and mangled his sentences in a presidential debate that was like a reality show, according to international media.

The verdicts of pundits from around the globe to Thursday night’s televised clash in Atlanta, Georgia, between the two White House rivals was damning. From Beijing to New Delhi and beyond, the reviews were most scathing of President Biden’s performance at the CNN forum, but his Republican challenger did not escape criticism.

Russian media brand Biden 'total failure'

Even before last night's debate, the main evening news shows on Russian TV on Thursday were speculating that Mr Biden would not be able to survive it.

Like a reality show' - Chinese media

The state-owned Global Times describes the debate as “like a reality show”. Chinese satirical cartoons often depict a fierce, quite literal, battle between the two candidates, …Generally, Chinese media want to paint a picture for audiences of general apathy and frustration among US voters at both candidates.

Indian media highlight 'aggression' of Trump

Some media outlets picked up on Trump's claim Mr Biden was getting "paid by China". "'Manchurian Candidate, Paid By China': Trump's Big Charge Against Biden," read a headline on the NDTV channel's website.

Israel media talks of Biden 'weakness'

…Ben-Yishai said certain elements in Israel ”are already rubbing their hands with joy” at the prospect of a second Trump presidency.

Latin America media say Biden 'hesitant and confused'

“The debate shows Trump strong and Biden weak," was how Brazilian daily O Estado de S. Paulo summed up one analysis. "Biden self-destructed in front of the American public and the world... Biden debated desperately badly," Brazilian analyst Demetrio Magnoli said on the popular G1 news website.

Instead of trying to pump up Joe, Dems are trying to bring down Trump’s brilliant debate performance. Its an obvious performance by the Dems, but they cannot change the obvious videos.

Donald Trump told lies and mangled his sentences in a presidential debate ... according to international media.

And therein lies the problem. See Tagline. I don't want to know what it's like to think it was Trump who mangled his sentences.

Which brings up a question.
How to handle the guy who says something like,
‘I didn’t watch the debate because they are both boneheads.’
My guess is he is a dem or independent, whatever the hell that is, who is fed up with Biden but can’t bring himself to accept Trump and is waiting for another, any other, dem to present themselves for their voting pleasure.
My response was. I liked the guy that gave me cheap gas and low inflation. He murmured something in assent, and I said that didn’t sound like a bonehead to me and walked off.

This is being repeated nonstop in the Leftist media yet the only two verified lies I’ve seen were by Biden:

1) No troops were killed under his command
2) he was endorsed by the Border Patrol Union

It’s all gaslighting.

"In Mexico, media tend to be wary of calls from US politicians for drastic measures to stem the flow of migrants and illicit drugs"

If they don't want the Gringos to prevent drugs, criminals, terrorists, and illegal aliens from entering the USA across the Mexican Border, they should keep them out of Mexico too.

Biden is exactly what the Democrats want in the Presidency. If they manage to replace him, it will be with someone just like him.

And Americans must keep this in mind: The Democrats and their sycophants have known exactly what Biden was all along. He is the puppet they want in the White House. The destruction of the USA is of no consequence to them.

Former doctor to Obama, Trump calls on Biden to resign: ‘National security issue’

NY Post ^ | 6/29/24 | Jon Levine
Posted on 6/29/2024, 7:07:03 AM by Libloather

President Biden likely suffers from a “cognitive disease” and should not only drop out of the presidential race but resign immediately, according to the former White House physician and current Republican Congressman who served former Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump.

“This is a national security issue,” Texas Rep. Ronny Jackson told The Post after Biden’s disastrous debate performance. “As an American, I think he needs to step down and he needs to be immediately removed from office.”

Before entering politics, Jackson served as Obama’s personal physician between 2013 and 2016.

He served as Trump’s between 2016 and 2018.

Trump raised Jackson’s name during the Thursday debate, when the issue of their respective cognitive functions was raised.

Jackson, a former Navy rear admiral, said Biden’s confused and halting performance during the debate was clear evidence he is suffering from more than just normal aging.

“There is a condition. I don’t know what it is. I am not going to give him a diagnosis. It is more than just age. It is some type of cognitive disease,” Jackson said. “I don’t know if it’s Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s, I don’t know what it is. There are a lot of diseases out there when folks get older which can cause cognitive decline.”

Jackson previously called on Biden to take a cognitive test — something Biden has not done as president.

“You aren’t going to hear me talk about cognitive tests anymore. He got one [Thursday] night in front of millions of viewers and he failed miserably,” Jackson told The Post.
