There have not been many memorable moments or surprises. first debate that has faced Joe Biden and Donald Trump in the race for the White House, but some clashes and forceful phrases will remain in memory, such as “you are the worst president in history” (Trump) or “You are a danger to democracy” (Biden).
Also, comic moments like the one experienced by a conversation about golf. The moderators, Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, questioned both about the elephant in the room: are they qualified to serve as President, at their advanced ages?
To illustrate his good health, Trump78, dedicated himself to bragging about his championships: “I just won two club championships. (…) To do that, you have to be pretty smart and be able to hit the ball from distance. I do that and he doesn’t, he can’t hit a ball 50 yards.“, he claimed.
Biden81, responded that he would be “happy“playing golf, but only if Trump brings his own bag.”Let’s not act like children“, Trump asked, to which Biden replied: “You are a boy”.
“You’re a fool”, one of the few outbursts
There were few outbursts and one of the most notable – due to its unusual nature – was carried out by Biden when he called “fool” and “loser” to Trump.
“You are the fool. You are the loser.”, noted the Democratic president in a conversation about veterans in which he accused Trump of disrespecting them.
The United States, turned into a “rat nest”
Trump could not have been more graphic. Biden’s immigration management, which in his opinion has opened the border with Mexico to criminals, has turned the United States into a “rathole”, one in which those migrants kill Americans in both New York and California and in “each state”. The president defended himself from this accusation, calling it “ridiculous”.
Voting for Trump is voting “against democracy”
One of the most compelling moments was when Biden stated that electing Trump will be voting against democracy since the former president does not understand what it means.
“This guy has no sense of what American democracy is.“insisted the president, who recalled that the Republican has “many (judicial) cases along the way” and “must face a whole range of problems”.
Biden, “the worst president in history”
At various points during the evening, Trump referred to Biden as “the worst president of the worst Presidency in history” from the United States and stated that “He is not ready to be president“due to the state of the economy, immigration policy and international conflicts.
Not even, he said, this debate should be held: “We shouldn’t have a debate about it. There is nothing to debate“, he said.
The flu has made Biden’s night difficult

Biden appeared to have difficulty with his diction at several points during the debate, a situation that harms him with voters, who constantly question his advanced age.
Trump will only accept the election results “if they are fair”
