🚨 POLL: Did Trump win the debate?


During the first presidential debate of the 2020 election cycle, President Trump and his Democratic rival did not hold back on the jabs, according to Fox News.

President Trump slammed Joe Biden for his ties to China, along with the never-ending saga that is the Burisma scandal.

“China ate your lunch,” Trump said.

He was referencing claims about the business history of Biden’s son, Hunter Biden.

“And no wonder your son goes in and takes out billions of dollars to manage, makes millions of dollars–while we’re at it, why did the mayor of Moscow’s wife give your son $3.5 million? What did he do with Burisma?”

As Fox News reported, “The president was referring to a newly-released report by Republicans on the Senate Homeland Security Committee, which detailed Hunter Biden’s business dealings with China, and his lucrative role on the board of Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings.”

According to the report, an investment firm co-founded by Hunter Biden, Rosemont Seneca Thornton, “received $3.5 million in a wire transfer” from Elena Baturina, the wife of the former mayor of the Russian capital.

Biden fired back calling the claims “totally discredited.”

“My son did nothing wrong with Burisma,” Biden said. “Everyone has discredited it.”

The two started shouting at one another, with Biden cutting through saying: “It is hard to get any word in with this clown–excuse me–this president.”

“Here’s the deal. We want to talk about families and ethics. I don’t want to do that,” Biden said, pointing to the Trump family. “His family–we can go on all night.”

Trump fired back saying: “My family lost a fortune by helping us come work with government.”

“This is not about my family or his family its about your family,” Biden said, pointing to the camera. “He doesn’t want to talk about what you need, the American people, it’s about you. That’s who we’re talking about here.”

More from Fox News:

“You graduated the lowest in your class,” Trump said to Biden, after he said the president should become “smart” with the coronavirus pandemic.

“Don’t ever use the word smart with me,” Trump said. “Nothing smart about you Joe.”

The president, when asked about his campaign rallies, said that Biden doesn’t hold events because “nobody shows up to his events.”

“People want to hear what I have to say,” Trump said.

The debate shifted to taxes. Biden vowed to repeal the “Trump tax code,” and the president cut him off questioning why he didn’t propose a better tax plan during his “47 years” in Washington.

“Because you weren’t president screwing things up,” Biden said. “You’re the worst president America has ever had.”
