Trump expected to focus on Hunter Biden and China in final debate

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — President Donald Trump is expected by aides and advisers to raise Hunter Biden and China throughout the final presidential debate here on Thursday and has been counseled by allies not to interrupt as much as he did in the first faceoff.

Trump allies are hoping that if Joe Biden is given more time to speak than in the first debate — when Trump repeatedly interrupted him — it will provide an opportunity for Biden to make a gaffe or give answers they believe will hurt him with voters. It’s unclear though how much Trump will follow that strategy, since he disregarded much of the advice he was given before the first debate.

Trump has done even less traditional debate prep for this second and final contest, according to multiple people familiar with the discussions. A few back-and-forth practice meetings took place on Air Force One over the last week while the president was traveling to battleground states. Those sparring rounds were more topic-oriented discussions with aides, however, and did not resemble formal sessions.

“What am I doing to prepare? I'm doing this,” Trump told reporters on Monday. “I've done very well in debates. And, you know, you do what you do. You just do what you do. "

whether or not the words were meaningful or coherent doesn't matter much.

"Who is the China puppet?" - Biden

"I'm not the puppet you're the puppet!" - trump once again displaying his unparalleled wit and great rhetorical repartee that he used in 2016.
