Just the announcement during the reciting of the debate rules would be jocular. "President tRump has elected to use a podium for this debate, while V.P. Biden has chosen to not use one."

l'il donnie could lean against his podium to hold himself up, and Joe could stand and roam free with no podium. It would make tRump look weak and impaired, and be done so by his own wishes!
