I could swear that I heard Trump mutter "good" after the discussion about caged children.

My jaw dropped. Why? I don’t know. After all, it’s Trump. He was turning away from the mic when he said “good.”

If I’m in err, I apologize to all.

I don't recall exactly what Biden said (it wasn't complimentary to Trump), and Trump interjected "Good." In the bullshit flurry of Trump's verbal diarrhea it was there and gone so fast, but it was there.

that response, and it's hard to do be startled by Trump after 4 long years of his craziness.

That said, the video clearly shows he said 'go ahead' and not 'good' - hopefully folks stop spreading this. There are plenty of legitimate things to attack Trump on.

I can understand why a lot of people thought he said "good". This makes it clear for all of us.

Not long after those comments were made in the debate, the musician Sheila E. posted it on Facebook. Note: The image is now greyed out, saying it is false, per independent fact checking.

I heard it plain as day.

Or perhaps he said, “Gotterdammerung was a great opera”. Yeah...that’s the ticket....

I also re-wound it and played it back while looking away from the screen to hear it without looking at him.

I hate no one, but I detest his ugly behavior. He is sickening. It must disgust Biden to have been anywhere near him.

That said, the video replay (posted in this thread) shows he clearly said 'go ahead.'

He also polysyllaballizes words. He can say “two” as “t-hoo”.

Whichever...he’s still a prick.

(both "live" and in the recording).

Unfortunately folks sometimes hear what they want to.
