    1. @Roman Ward There’s where you’re wrong, mocking is what Trump was doing, Biden was responding with facts, of course in your Trump Cult doublethink, what’s right is wrong, up is down what you see and read is not happening.

    2. Roman Ward trump never laid out a plan he was just spewing bs and obviously you ate it up like the sheep you are.

  1. Even before Covid, Job Growth was slower under Trump. FACT!

    1) Obama’s last 3 years: 224 K / month
    2) Trump’s first 3 years 182 K / month

    1. @Rob E you don’t remember biden has had 47 years of incompetent and corrupt political life he is a professional liar

    2. @Larry Dakin , are you really that silly. Obama took over in the midst of the republican Bush Recession, the worse economic downturn since the 1930’s. The Dow increased 160% under Obama, and pre-covid for Trump was 50%. Obama took unemployment from 9% to 4.5% only to have trump increase to 8.5%. Fact is millions and millions of Americans found jobs under the Obama tenure, while millions and millions of American lost their job under Trump. Stop with the lies, just admit that democrats are good for the economy and republicans tank our economy. Joe will have to work his butt off to repair what Trump has destroyed, but Joe has a plan, and Trump has insanity.

    3. @Suomy Nona , he forgets that Trump’s high water mark was 14.5%. In Michigan the unemployment rate was higher than in the Great Depression, all thanks to Trump’s dishonesty and incompetence.

    4. @Roman Ward , so when did you escape from the mental hospital? Trump acted like a rabid animal, I half expected him to fall to the floor and start foaming at the mouth.

  2. The debt under Obama grew from 9 to 18 Trillion in 8 years. Trump went from 18 to 30 Trillion in 4 years!

    Trump is BANKRUPTING the US, just like his businesses. 🙄

    1. @Lisa Jane Thyberg Typically, and this applies almost anywhere in the western economies, conservatives create the debt and liberals get saddled with a crap economy and have to clean up the mess so the conservatives can do it all over again.

    1. @A Brown-Skinned Concerned Dothead No that is so far from the truth most all Americans could see how is of Trump was because Joe called out his lies.
      Trump’s out and Joe Biden is in 2020. 🇺🇸

    2. Da’Chief More Police Officers have been killed in the line of duty in the Texas than in any other state in the union.
      That’s right, Texas a state run by conservatives Republicans.

    3. @SoCal Surfer16 Not true!! You need to do your research so you don’t keep looking like a fool. Facts count!! And Trump is losing and he will do anything he can to stay in office but in November he’s out and Joe Biden is in.

    4. Da’Chief police die in trumps America. He’s the president you can’t blame other people for your own incompetence he divided the country

    1. The stock market is an indicator of disposable wealth available for investment you know jobs employment work for everyone who gets up and goes to work not warfare office

    2. Right! There are only 5 companies holding up the stock market right now. 5!!! % companies are 20% of the stock market value!! Crazy!

  3. Inciting Hate what kind of People want a Leader like this. US run by a three year old temper tantrums nothing but Negativity. Virus Hoax People died mow a Race War more People to die. This is about a Leader who cares about us not one to destroy us.

  4. All americans has to convince everyone they know, friends, collegues, neighbours to vote. Vote this monstrous insane man away from the White house

  5. Trump was handed the best economy in US History, as he’s so fond of pointing out. And he turned it into a Dumpster fire.

    1. @Roman Ward , thank you. I had come here for the morning entertainment of watching trump trolls desperately trying to defend a turd, and here you are.

    2. @John Tatum why don’t you provide actual evidence supporting your claims? Remember only credible and unbiased sources count.

    3. Sir, considering the loan crisis, he did very well fixing that blunder. Should have jailed some bankers to deter future incidents.
      Then he provided steady growth. Not as good as I’d have liked.

      Meanwhile, we had no cost of living assistance, and the oligarchs were growing. Corporations are people, money is free speech. Tan suits, golf, and dijon mustard. The horror!

      Obama’s growth? He did well, quite well ,considering.
      Then, we got trump. Freind of tyrants and oligarchs, holder of a cabinet possibly more corrupt than Taft’s . Golf’s at possibly triple the rate of obama. Graft galore.

      Not helpful there.

  6. “Sleepy Joe” didn’t look sleepy at all: he looked downright vigorous!

    I love the way he flat out called Trump a liar, and when he told him to shut up. THAT is what we need to see more of.

    1. @Pat Moore by the way biden had 47 years as a politician he is the best liar that democrats have he did squat for people of color or policing

    1. @Roman Ward
      oh boy, eyes and ears wide shut
      dt told only lies
      you are the one twisting words
      yelling & verbal bullying is NOT winning
      and speaking in normal or even quiet voice isn’t being ‘weak ‘ it is just not being overblown and bullying

      Did you even listen to this piece ?
      or is everything you don’t like hearing just…oh guess what, fake news…

      the real facts are there…

    1. He set up a 7 trillion dollar secret slush fund at 0% interest for Wall Street to gamble with.Only reason stock market has not tanked.

    2. Trump needs the economy so he can steal more money from us to pay his debt to Putin!!!
      Who in their right mind would put their elderly, children and public in harms way during a World Pandemic???
      This is why he held the truth back!!!
      Don’t give me the gears that he did not want to panic the public, we are smarter than that Trump!!!
      It is The Working Class etc that help enhance the economy you ignorant dictator, what a complete embarrassment to our intelligence.
      We are on to you, your scare tactics, irrational thinking and running of the mouth will not hold us hostage!!!
      Get the Trump Empire out of our country and get out and vote!!!
      All the evidence is before you, how can you be undecided….if you don’t VOTE this con man and his family out there is no hope to rebuild this country or the honest The Republican Party.

  7. The American people wanted to hear the two debater’s plans for America’s future, but we couldn’t hear Joe Biden’s plans, because Donald Trump doesn’t have any plans, he just had a loud plan of attack again and again!!!

    1. tRUMP’s only plan was to fluster Joe. He tried hard to convince people his bs sleepy joe stories were true. Didn’t work.

    2. That’s right, he just ended up making himself look like a spoiled child and bully. It was obvious from the start what he was trying to do. Backfired on him.

    3. @pinebird Most Americans can’t help but to pity people like you. You don’t even have enough common sense to do your research and learn the facts.

    1. @Robert Edwin House
      *MAGA = Making Almighty God Angry*
      Sorry if I got that wrong. So tell me then, Karen, how would you hate-fueled racist Russia-loving fascist lying traitors like to be represented? Is that covered in the Russian propaganda you spread?  
      _If you support a leader that stands for those things, you are betraying your country and are complicit, Robert._

    2. *_Trump is highly skilled at the art of the con.  “Con” is short for confidence, and it is based on gaining confidence or trust from the potential victim.  The skilled con is an expert at “baiting” the rube . . . telling the target what he wants to hear as the “bait”, inspiring trust or confidence.  Trump is truly a dedicated master baiter, spending a great deal of time each day master baiting his base._*

    1. @Terry White My whole life, I’ve never felt ‘unsafe’ in this country until trump took office, and I’ve been around since the Eisenhower administration.

    2. Repubs…Dems…doesn’t matter. It’s American Freedom or trump DICTATORSHIP. No other country has 1000 covid deaths per day. I hope you haven’t lost anyone but you all have intentional covid BOUNTIES on your head. The ONLY ONE trump is protecting from covid is himself.

    3. @mike briganti focus on the big problem Mike. Cuomo had to learn by mistakes like everyone else here in Canada. You should focus on a dictator who is trying to make USA into Russia.

    4. John Nordby I lost a beloved uncle in Nevada, my cousin was just released from hospital Tuesday, in San Jose California. We are Mexican Americans. Stay well. 💙💙🌊

    1. @mike briganti Mike ..no offense but he’s donating peanuts cuz he’s robbing tax payers. His golph resort has received 150 × his salary just for him to golph. VOTE how you want but Don’t vote by being fooled. Good luck from Canada.
