On Sept. 29, Donald Trump and Joe Biden will go head-to-head in their first presidential debate. For his part, Trump has said he prepares every day for the debate by “just doing what I am doing,” which can only mean being a loose cannon.
Biden is less cocky. “I know how to handle bullies,” he said at a recent fundraiser. “I hope I don’t get baited into getting into a brawl with this guy. It’s going to be hard because I predict he’s going to be shouting.”
We doubt there will be a fist-fight (though that would certainly motivate more Americans to tune in), but since we know both of these politicians pretty well, we won’t be surprised when Trump acts like a non-sensical, overbearing asshole while Biden tries to woo voters with logic and reason — and ends up putting them to sleep instead.
What else can we expect as these two senile senior citizens take one another on? We have 12 hilarious predictions.
