Although the U.S. election has not officially begun, the-for-tat confrontation between Trump and Biden has long been white-hot. According to CNN, on the evening of June 27, Trump and Biden held their first debate, and the two had a fierce confrontation on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the influx of refugees into the United States, and the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan.
For now, the outcome of this showdown seems to be what Trump wants. After the debate, even CNN, which has always supported the Democratic Party, began to ridicule Biden. CNN host Jones even tearfully said that Biden had to be tested and restore the confidence of the United States and the American people, but he failed to do so.
Jones believes that Biden's performance has brought them pain, and it is necessary for the Democrats to replace Biden, and Biden should withdraw from the US election.
What exactly happened so that Biden would be condemned so much?
There are at least five things worth noting about this matchup.
First, it is a high-profile contest and a crucial matchup, and who wins and who performs better will have a significant impact on the outcome of the US election. Because of this, Biden is being specially trained to increase his chances of winning against Trump. Trump, who seems to be breezy and says he doesn't need to prepare, is actually preparing.
Because of the fear of going abroad and other reasons, at first, Biden was reluctant to "go head-to-head" with Trump. But because Trump's approval rating is dominant, key swing states are more inclined to support Trump, and American voters are worried about Biden's physical condition, in order to prove that he is okay, Biden has to accept the challenge.
Before the debate, Biden and Trump competed on questions such as "how to debate" and finally reached an agreement. To prevent Trump from interrupting Biden, the microphone of the person who is not speaking is muted during the debate. And both of them could only carry pens, paper, and water to start their debates. It is not difficult to see that this is a trick that Trump's team came up with, because the debate is 90 minutes long, and Trump wants Biden to look foreign. In Trump's view, Biden will make more mistakes as time goes on.
In this way, under the deliberate arrangement of the forces on both sides, this showdown began.
Second, in order to defeat each other, Biden and Trump have both resorted to all their strengths, and foreign issues are at the forefront of the debate.
When asked "whether he can accept Putin's terms for negotiation", Trump directly targeted Biden. Trump believes that if the US president had been respected by Putin, then Russia would not have launched a military operation in Ukraine, and Biden promoted the Russian-Ukrainian war.
Biden did not give an answer. Biden said he had repeatedly urged the U.S. Congress to fund Ukraine, while mocking Trump for his gibberish.
Regarding the "withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan", Trump also satirized Biden, saying that this was the most embarrassing day in the history of the United States, and Biden damaged the image of the United States in the world. Trump believes that even if it wants to withdraw its troops, the United States must withdraw its troops with dignity, strength, and strength.
Biden condemned Trump, saying he did nothing when Trump was president of the United States.
Trump said that the U.S. military likes him very much, but can't stand Biden, and they all think that Biden is the worst commander-in-chief in the United States. According to Trump, all indications are that the US military loves him more than everyone else.
When Trump said this, Biden chose to smile contemptuously, as if to sarcastically mock Trump.
Third, both Trump and Biden are prepared. The influx of refugees into the U.S. border and the U.S. facing inflation are the entry points for Trump's attack on Biden.
Trump believes that when he was in charge of the White House, the U.S. economy was the best in U.S. history, and the "culprit" of the unresolved inflation in the United States was Biden. Mr. Trump's promise that if he wins, would impose tariffs on imports would not increase the pressure on the American public, but would cost America's competitors.
Biden believes that Trump's tariffs on products from other countries will make US inflation more serious, which is adding fuel to the fire.
The reason is simple: in the end, it must be the American people who pay for it.
Trump argues that Biden's immigration package has led to an influx of refugees into the United States, which had the safest border in history when he became president. Biden ridiculed Trump for lying, saying that his actions in June reduced the conflict on the southern border of the United States by 40 percent.
In short, both Trump and Biden have their own words, and many times they don't give direct answers, and both are thinking about how to attack each other to show that they are doing more for the United States.
Fourth, throughout the debate, it was intuitively that Trump performed better than Biden. To Democrats and American voters, Biden's performance is terrible, not even satisfactory.
Of course, Trump is still the same Trump. When confronted with tough problems, Trump's solution is to deflect the crisis and defuse it by attacking Biden and showing off.
To sum up this debate in one sentence, it is probably "Trump lies and Biden makes mistakes". Before the debate began, Trump and Biden did not shake hands. During the debate, the two men were in full swing and launched personal attacks on each other. At the end of the debate, Trump turned and left, but Biden was helped down the steps.
If there is one result, it can only be said that Trump is superior. In the contest that lasted dozens of minutes, Biden, who was almost 82 years old, made a lot of jokes, such as his body suddenly froze, he didn't know what to say in the middle of speaking, and made many mistakes. As soon as the debate ended, the Trump camp declared victory, but the Democrats were worried about Biden.
It's a real battle of physical and mental strength.
Fifth, what do the American people think of this showdown? According to the results of the US poll, as many as 67% of voters believe that Trump is doing better, and only 33% think that Biden is doing better. In other words, judging by the latest polls in the United States, Trump won.
Many voters who support Biden believe that Biden's performance is too bad, and some Democrats say that it is necessary to let someone else replace Biden in the US election. But the Biden team said Biden would not withdraw from the U.S. election.
In just over two months, Biden and Trump will face off for the second time. At that time, if Biden still behaves like this, Trump's chances of winning will be greatly increased, and Obama and Hillary, who win over American voters for Biden, will usher in a bolt from the blue. If Trump wins, Hillary Clinton is likely to retaliate, because Trump has been targeted so much in recent years.
In this regard, Trump holds a grudge and it is impossible not to retaliate.
The 2024 U.S. election is bound to be a farcical contest, which is likely to bring new chaos and variables to the United States, and neither Trump nor Biden can afford to lose.
Of course, the final outcome of the US election will also have a far-reaching impact on the world situation.
It is vaguely clear that the real contest has just begun, and let's see how Trump and Biden make a move.
