Like it or not, last night's first presidential debate of 2024 between former President Donald Trump and current American President Joe Biden, who was ironically dressed in a black suit that fitted the occasion; resulted in Donald Trump closing his coffin with hot nails during last night's debate. The rules for the debate were simple: each candidate would receive 2 minutes to speak and 1 minute to respond to the other candidate. Also, mics were able to be muted by the Moderators to prevent candidates from speaking out of turn. In addition, neither candidate could utilize pre-written notes. A coin toss was used to determine who would get the final word.
Before we analyze this debate, it should be known that many viewers found it surprising that Donald Trump didn’t over-talk and interrupt his opponent during this debate. For many people this is considered a political first for former President Donald trump. When it comes to current President Joe Biden, many people were left with the impression that his age has caught up to him and that at times he looked as if the information that was presented to him during the debate was “new” to him or he was simply not fully coherent enough through the debate to respond to the various positions of Trump, regardless if trump’s position were factual or not.
Quite simply when it came down to the U.S. Economy, Trump won this phase of the debate because he was able to clearly articulate his positions with facts that the average everyday man on the streets of America can empirically see and experience. In terms of Roe vs. Wade, Trump's response was also surprising because instead of being divisive on the topic, he instead took the “middle road” and basically stated that the controversial topic should be left up to each individual state. Where President trump was wrong in his position was when he stated that babies can be killed late term and after their born.
On the topic of Abortion, President Biden stated that he wanted to reinstate Roe vs. Wade and that “no politician should be making the decision that a doctor should be making”. For many people in America, this is not a doctor’s decision but a deeply personal decision that is typically made by women. It should be noted that President Biden's position is that an abortion should only be performed if “a woman's life is in danger and if she’s going to die”. However, studies show that most women get abortions because they simply don’t want to be mothers. We covered this in a previous article entitled: “Abortions are for whores who hate responsibility and accountability”.

On the topic of Immigration, many people who watched the debate were torn between the two candidates. The reason for this is because while Americans don’t like what they see on the southern border, there are some Americans that feel as if immigrants aren’t allowed to come over, then that would result in many families being destroyed. However, what resonated with many Americans that support the securing of America's borders, the notion that Trump would establish some sort of task force that would be designed to round up and extradite illegal aliens would be considered a good thing. But the truth is the matter is that America thrives off the work (manual labor) done by illegal immigrants especially in states like Texas, both South/North Carolina, and Mississippi, to name a few.
When President Biden spoke on Illegal Immigration, Biden stated: “the idea that we are welcoming these people that’s simply not true. To support what he [Trump] said once again, he’s exaggerating lies”. But for many people it's fair to say that former President Trump is right in his assessment that America is in fact “welcoming” illegal aliens to come across. Trump stated various times throughout the debate that illegal immigrants are not only being funded monetarily (not necessarily true), but they are taking up residence in “luxury hotels”. This is a phenomenon that many Americans living in New York have empirically seen with their own eyes.
When addressing Foreign Policy, Trump expressed that the way America pulled out of Afghanistan was “embarrassing”. For many Americans they just wanted the war in West Asia to be over; they were tired of it. What’s truly embarrassing is that America has paid the Taliban close to $3 billion since America's mass exodus out of the region in March 2024. The statement made by Trump that “there was no terrorism” during his time in office is a lie – whether he knows it or not. There is always terrorism and there will always be terrorism going on throughout the world.
Neither had much to say in terms of recognizing Palestine as a State, but Trump stated that Israel would have listened to him and engaged Palestine in another way since Hamas pulled off one of the greatest military operations against Israel last year on October 7th. Many political pundits may disagree with his statement. The reason for this is because everyone who watches the political chessboard knows and understands that Israel controls the actions of America not only in the halls of the American congress but in West Asia as well.
Regarding January 6th, Trump failed to answer the question, and President Biden relied on past rhetoric to answer the question. It should be noted that President Trump's account of what happened during the January 6th fiasco was flawed. When it came to how each candidate should engage Black Americans in the political arena, Biden clearly lost this one as well. The reason for this is because not only did he not have a plan, but he went off topic. On the same topic, it’s also clear that former President Trump did not have a plan for Black Americans either.
When it comes to the Climate Crisis, both candidates failed to answer the question and had no clear plan of action to combat climate change. When it came to addressing Social Security neither candidate had a viable solution to offset the possibility that future generations will not have a Social Security program to draw from. On the topic of drugs, neither had any solutions to combat the sale, distribution and consumption of illegal narcotics. On the last topic of the night – Ageism. The good news is that former President Trump took a test known as the Montreal Cognitive Assessment: and according to him – he passed, but the truth is most Americans don’t really care because they see both candidates as too much of the same and too damn old to be President of the United States.
The debate validates our prediction of Donald Trump being the next President of America. We covered this prediction in an article entitled: “Presidential Prediction: Donald Trump Wins 2024 Election”.
