The final debate between President Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden was on Thursday night, and during the event, Trump repeatedly failed to present a systematically compelling vision for America’s future. Meanwhile, Biden insisted that, if elected, he would work to support all Americans rather than just those who voted for him — and can the same really be said of Trump? In the aftermath of the debate, Trump is still sticking to his familiar angry antagonistic rhetoric. On Twitter on Friday afternoon, Trump made the ridiculous claim that Biden was “very disrespectful to President Obama” at the debate, but this nonsense from the president is just smoke and mirrors.
Trump claimed that Biden was disrespectful to Obama because he pointed out that he had been vice president rather than president when discussing why he had failed to see through the policies that he wants during his previous time in public office. Trump is misrepresenting what Biden actually said — he also owned missteps on the part of the Obama administration as a whole (including himself, of course), commenting that “we made a mistake” (emphasis added). Biden also pointed out that some policy change efforts that the Obama administration did undertake were hamstrung by an obstruction-dedicated Republican Congress. Would Trump ever even admit to a slight misstep in the first place?
Joe Biden was very disrespectful to President Obama at last night’s debate when he said that he, Joe, “was Vice President, not President,” when trying to make excuses for their failed immigration policies. I wonder what “O” was thinking when he heard that one?

On Twitter this Friday afternoon, Trump also complained about Biden’s insistence on moving towards clean energy, and he also angrily characterized Biden’s response to the Obama era swine flu outbreak as “one of the weakest and worst [responses] in the history of fighting epidemics and pandemics,” as if that somehow negates the fact that over 220,000 Americans have died on Trump’s own watch, which is majorly higher than the death toll of the swine flu outbreak. As for energy, Biden has made abundantly clear that he wants to secure major financial support for the clean energy sector, helping create new jobs.
Biden said he is going to “transition out of (fracking) by 2025”. I hope Texas, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Oklahoma, North Dakota, and all of the rest were listening last night. High energy prices, massive jobs losses! Vote Trump.

Joe Biden’s response to the H1N1 Swine Flu, far less lethal than Covid 19, was one of the weakest and worst in the history of fighting epidemics and pandemics. It was pathetic, those involved have said. Joe didn’t have a clue!
