The US presidential elections are just round the corner and
the tensions are rising. The debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden has
sparked a lot of questions in the Americans. The debate was all over the place
and people called it messy, bitter, chaos and many other words resonating the
train wreck of the debate it was.
NBC’s Chuck Todd called the debate “a train wreck” while CNN’s
Jake Trapper called it “a hot mess inside a dumpster fire inside a train wreck.”
Both candidates were extremely disrespectful to one another, hauling personal
attacks and interrupting one another. Moderator Chris Wallace struggled to take
control of the debate as both of them created a mess of the debate. From Joe
Biden calling Donald Trump, a clown to Donald Trump referring to the
coronavirus as the Chinese virus, it was an international disaster.
The public opinion matters the most and from the looks of it,
they didn’t like it very much. People are angry and surprised how bad the debate
went. Though, many reasonable questions were raised about the pandemic, white
supremacy, as well as the economy but Biden and Trump wouldn’t stop their interruptions
and personal attacks that they failed in their attempt to prove their point to
the Americans.
However, the big question remains; who won the debate? With initial
polls released, there is a statistical result. Despite the stats, you can say that
American people lost. Majority of the people reported that they were annoyed by
the debate and that the tone was negative. As far as winning is concerned,
people had mixed opinions over it.
