  1. Trump didn’t win the first debate. All he did was show what behaviors aren’t acceptable for bullies and the uneducated.

    1. @Tyeler Nowell
      Oh TDS is a thing alright. Liberals have literally held *Screech at the Sky* events to defy our glorious President of The United States.
      Sad really..

    2. @Southpaw 88 They will not have debates in 10 years. They will either have Riots [“peaceful protests”] on stage, OR they will all be slaves of Sorros and Bill Gates. You may be young enough to be one of the oppressed. So go for it – vote for your Democratic Oppressors.

    3. @John S
      Either way you’ve got him for 4 more years.
      Hey BTW do you even know which of the 2 genders you are?

    4. @Jamtommy1 What a sad and pathetic comeback from a mind numbingly stupid Neanderthal who thinks tRump is “glorious” and he, his skanky mail-order bride and anchor baby will be anywhere near the White House on Thursday, January 21, 2021!!!!

    1. YES… Muting him is like ‘shunning’ him, and he can’t stand being silenced or
      corrected or ignored.. A whole roll of masking tape over his mouth is the only
      way to stop his demented spewing of lies, self praising, and garbage/gutter talk.

    1. @Niklaus Heaven Manchester BWAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

    2. Trump is still fighting a stringent debate with the corona virus which he has clearly not won yet.
      Everything about his fight with this potentially fatal adversary is being kept covidential.

    3. @vote red Trump 2020 One of the drugs taken by Donald Trump that he has touted as a potential “cure” for coronavirus was developed using human cells originally obtained from an elective abortion, a practice repeatedly denounced by the president and many of his supporters.

  2. I don’t understand why he’s insisting on going live.
    Shouldn’t he be bedridden by now

    2. @Anne Rigby
      Of course Anne!
      I would agree with you 100% about the man with orange hair in a sandbox.
      Thank you for your message and have a great day.
      From katrinka

    3. @Anne Rigby too many other people have tested positive. Just look at the footage of them ignoring the rules. He’s got it. It is evident in his voice and his posture and his breathing

    4. How about it…obviously not PHYSICALLY well in addition to, well you know. If he came out naked, they’d throw a robe around him and say it was a clone!

  3. If trump is a “no show” then Biden can talk to America without being constantly interrupted by the LIAR IN CHIEF.

    1. @Taylor Fox Biden would have never shutdown flights from China because China is in controlled of him. Millions would have died from Covid-19 if Joe Biden would be in charge.

    2. @Rino Ponce You do realize that is your OPINION, you have NO facts to back that up. But we do have over 200,000 Dead Americans and still counting all under trump. We still have 8% unemployment all under trump. We have an infected White House all under trump. Why are you defending a supporting a man that is clearly a liar and racist coward?

    1. He ticks all the boxes of ‘at risk’ people that will suffer greatly if they do get Covid, he spent a few days in hospital and walked out like he just went in for a regular check up, also the fact that he has the money (actually that’s questionable) and the title, allowed him to have access to A+ medical care (including the transport to and from the hospital), unlike the rest of America, so it makes me think that he’s lying about testing positive for Covid – he never had it. Also, where is his wife? Did she get admitted at the same time, or is she at home sans covid virus???

    1. Michael Brown god bless united states of america so he wont bankrupt the greatest and most powerful country!

    1. @Rino Ponce Something is missing in this sentence: “Joe Biden was in charge millions and counting” Doesn’t look like Yoda-speech either. Please consider rewriting so that at least the formal structure ogf the sentence is correct. The semantic content will still be gibberish even if you get the grammar fixed.

    2. ​@Nate S H1N1 was less deadly, lad. Imagine if it was as deadly as covid, it would mean 2+ mln deaths under Obama. Your hypocrisy is just astounding.

    3. @Kds Cool – So a disease that was less deadly that caused significantly less deaths means that I am a hypocrite?! Seriously, do you have to work at being this dumb or does it come naturally to you?!

    4. ​@Nate S it caused 60+ mln cases against 7 mln of covid. Now use your brain if you have one and count potential deaths under Obama if it would’ve been as deadly as covid. So you should ask that question yourself, being dumb comes quite naturally to you.

    5. @Kds Cool – So I should count “potential deaths” against actual deaths and you are calling me dumb?! Do you have to work at being this dumb or does it come naturally to you, child?!

  4. Well, put Trump in a plexiglass cage next to Biden. That kind of entrapment is commonly used for creatures of his nature.

    1. I think a stainless steel cell would suit him better, complete with iron shackles and a feeding trough.

    2. Everyone has their own narrative whether your pro-life against killing babies or like abortion. Like the second amendment or against the second amendment. Other than that here are my reasons why you should not vote for Joe Biden. I only need one good reason why you should vote for Donald Trump. I am willing to debate with anyone. I will do my best to try to reply to everyone.

      The reasons why you should not vote for Joe Biden.
      1. 78 years old Dementia Joe
      2. Controlled by China
      3. 47 years in office no accomplishment
      4. Hunter Biden millions of dollars was given to him.
      5. Joe Biden called Trump a xenophobic for shutting flights from China millions would have died from Covid-19 in the U.S.
      6. Joe Biden is Racist “if you don’t vote you aint black”
      7. Creepy Joe “I would to like to you see girls dance in 4 years”

      The reason why you vote for Donald Trump
      Trump has done more in 47 months than Joe Biden has done in 47 years.

  5. Lmao he didn’t win the first debate, his VP failed. What makes you people think that he will win the second or third debate lmao never mind a virtual debate. 😂😂😂🇺🇸🔷

    1. He has said that he won the 2nd debate that they have yet to have . That cocktail of experimental drugs that they are giving him is making him hallucinate more than he usually does .

  6. Trump and his cultist hate that ZOOM mute button. Whiny pathetic man/child pouts when he doesn’t get his way.

    1. Daniel Kolbin
      Wow you are brainwashed fake Patriots.

      Shut up and go pay for my VA and Trump’s healthcare… Where is your Trump care? Coronavirus.

      Include Medical Marijuana this time for Real patriots. Not draft dodgers like the Don of Death 💀 bounties on US soldiers. You bend over for puny Putin also? An American President would’ve punched puny Putin with your tiny fist.

      You guys really are stupid. Fake patriots.

    2. Everyone has their own narrative whether your pro-life against killing babies or like abortion. Like the second amendment or against the second amendment.

    3. @Lisa Bergeron he is asking for a debate, when he could easily use his illness as an opportunity to avoid it. I don’t think he’s scared my opinion though

    1. I don’t really care, do you ? He’s doing his “BE BEST” at being a sucker and loser.. Which, incidentally, is what he is all the time, never failing at THAT….

  7. trump and his campaign are afraid that Biden will actually have a chance to answer a question Lmao .. trump👎
