Trump falls into the trap he set for Biden

Donald Trump will face Joe Biden within days for the first of three presidential debates, and some of the president’s supporters are already bracing for a humiliating loss.

White House allies, Republican donors and some of Trump’s closest advisers worry that a recent, frenzied push by his top lieutenants to portray Biden as a seasoned debater — with the goal of raising expectations for the Democratic presidential nominee — is too late and too disingenuous to have an impact when the two meet on the debate stage next Tuesday.

They worry Trump has set a trap for himself by incessantly attacking Biden’s age and mental acumen. It’s a tactic the president has maintained even as his campaign publicly insists the former vice president is fully capable of a satisfactory performance. Unlike the president, who has spuriously claimed Biden is “probably” on performance-enhancing drugs, Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh attributed Biden’s “quite good” performance in past debates to the Democrat’s ability “to turn it on when the cameras come” after years of experience in politics.

“Eight years as vice president, three decades in the Senate, two debates as vice president and he just came through about a dozen debates in the Democratic primaries where he vanquished two dozen opponents — that’s the Joe Biden we’re expecting,” Murtaugh said.

1. I can turn it on when the cameras come.

After 40 years in academics, it's easy and natural. I have my professor voice that most of my family hasn't heard. Trump only has his circus carnival voice. I might even watch the show.

3. I know exactly what you mean!

4. ""probably" on performance-enhancing drugs"

You KNOW tRump will be on his.. I hope is so coked up he screws everything in the face of a real adult debater.... Will he play his "walk around the opponent" intimidation routine?.
This should be interesting...

5. There is only so much performance enhancing drugs can do.

Will we be entertained by canned food stories?

[mitch96]

6. Yup, you need performance to enhance. He will go down in flames and it will be on camera..nt

14. He can't hide the chunks of blow that fly out of his nostrils, either.

Might not see it in the first debate, but once Biden hands his ass to him, wrapped with a bow and a "thank you" card attached, he's going to be so full of stimulants in the other two, he's going to have an avalanche of white stuff flowing out of his nose.

7. you know Biden is ready if Trump starts stalking him

Or performs an untoward physical act besides standing behind his podium. Without doubt, there is a pithy sentence which he will utter.

8. Trump projects the use of Adderall. Perhaps drug tests are in order.

10. Bend over Donny

It's time for your injection...

11. The rapist racist

Will be shaking in his shoes unlike when he was debating Hillary ...because he doesn't have any respect for women!
... and the thing is (but it shouldn't be) he has respect for a white man.

13. Trump should set more traps to fall into.

[GoCubsGo]

15. The Cult has already swallowed all his nonsense hook, line, and sinker.

Just go to Biden's YouTube page, and read the comments. Half of them are Flying Monkeys parroting Trump's lies. They're in for quite a surprise come debate night. Except they'll deny it all, as they live in an alternate reality.
