Posted • July 8, 2024: More than a week ago we had the first debate in 2024 between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, and well … for Biden, things about as badly as it did on the Hindenburg.
The basic problem is that almost every moment in the debate, they were on split screen—you could see both men.
When Biden was talking, he was okay, because he had a reason to engage.
But the moment Trump started talking, Biden had what John Stewart called ‘resting Twenty-Fifth Amendment face.’ Mind you, we’re not saying Biden was perfect when he was speaking, either.
He had several gaffes.
One of the worst is when Biden said that he beat Medicare.
We’re not sure what Biden meant to say, but it certainly wasn’t what he did say and he opened himself to a solid zing from Trump.
Trump got in another zing when Biden lost his train of thought at another point in the debate.
