Obama triggers Trump

So tomorrow is the final debate between Biden and Trump. Supposedly Trump's people are coaching trump to not interrupt as he did in the first debate and keep his cool. So today Obama comes to Philadelphia and jokes about Trumps China bank account. He goes on to say that if he was found to have a Chinese bank account when he was running for re-election Fox News would go nuts and call him Beijing Barry. You know Trump has seen this and it's going to get under his orange skin. Should be pretty easy for Joe to set him off. We shall see.

Stick to the facts, recite your plan and your answer to the question, ignore the gibbering loon, and just present the case for people to vote for Joe Biden.

with the "don't ever use the word smart with me".

Joe will definitely seek to irritate him to put the insanity on display.

The slightest reference to Obama will set the tangerine tyrant off. And once he starts he won't be able to back off. Then they'll mute him and the medics better have the tranquilizes ready.

with regard to handling... well... EVERYTHING!

That word set off an unhinged rant last time. trump can't handle any questioning of his competence or intelligence.

The exchange came as the former vice president and current Democratic presidential nominee brought up Trump's response to the novel coronavirus pandemic, saying, "Guess what? A lot of people died. And a lot more are gonna die unless he gets a lot smarter, a lot quicker."

"Did you use the word 'smart'?" Trump replied, in one of dozens of examples from Tuesday of him interjecting and trying to belittle his rival. "So, you said you went to Delaware State but you forgot the name of your college. You didn't go to Delaware State. You graduated either the lowest or almost the lowest in your class."

It's like Trump just pulled that out of his pocket on autopilot upon hearing the word "smart" get used in sentence by Biden, having kept it secret so he could use it and dazzle the audience in his mind. It reminded me SO much of Alec Baldwin's portrayal of Trump on SNL. Trump spoofed himself right there in the debate.

deliberately aiming his remarks directly at DT! If the Orange one saw it, he must have throwing stuff by the end of BO's speech! I'm so glad he's back on the trail for JB & positive JB is really happy too! I don't know where he'ps going next but I hope I get a chance to watch all of them!

Obama lives in Trump's brain. Also, Obama has been able to figure out how to get under Trump's skin.
