Verbal debate between Biden and Trump over Iran in the first US election debate

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump did not shake hands when entering the debate stage. The last time these two candidates met in 2020 was during the election debate, and they did not shake hands at that time due to the protocols of Covid-19.

The debate this morning (Friday) started with the economic question of Joe Biden, the anchor of CNN, Jake Tapper, and the candidates for the presidential election of 2024 immediately began to criticize each other.

Biden: I took over a government with a collapsed economy

In his first answer to economic questions, Joe Biden immediately referred to the Donald Trump era and said that he took over a government with a collapsed economy due to wrong decisions in the field of controlling the Covid-19 disease with a high unemployment rate.

He called Trump’s era terrible and said: We had to fix the situation.

Donald Trump responded by saying that his presidency had the “best economy” and added: “Biden’s administration has caused high inflation and a weak economic period for America.” We are no longer respected as a country, they do not respect our leadership. We are like a third world country.

Biden and Trump verbal dispute about Iran’s power in the region

Joe Biden, the current president of the United States, and Donald Trump, the former president of this country, had a verbal argument with each other in the first election debate about Iran and its power in the region, and Biden said that during Trump’s era, Iran attacked our base and he did nothing. He didn’t do anything.

Joe Biden, the current Democratic President of the United States, said in the first election debate with Donald Trump, his Republican opponent, who criticized his foreign policy: During the Trump era, Iran attacked our base (Ain al-Assad) and Trump did nothing. He didn’t do anything.

The current US president continued his attacks on Trump in this regard: Trump said that “only a few soldiers got a headache.”

Biden also said: I was the one who mobilized the world to defend Israel against Iran’s missile attack.

Trump accused Biden of inaction against Iran. But Donald Trump, the former president of the United States, accused Biden of inaction against Iran and claimed: “In my time, Iran was bankrupt.” He had no money to give to terrorism and they could not give money to Hamas.

The former American president then claimed: If I were the American president, Hamas would never attack Israel. 

When Trump was attacked by Biden about immigration in this mantra, he claimed that he had seriously fought against terrorism and then pointed to the killing of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and the martyrdom of General Qassem Soleimani.

Biden: Hamas must be destroyed

In response to a question about Israel’s war in Gaza, current US President Joe Biden said: Hamas must be destroyed. It is Hamas that does not want the war to end, but our focus now is on stopping the fighting.

Trump also said about Israel’s war in Gaza, referring to the Palestinians’ dissatisfaction with Biden: Israel must finish the job. Biden has become like a Palestinian, but they don’t like him, because he has become a very bad Palestinian and a weak person.

In response to a question about whether he supports the formation of an independent Palestinian state, the former US president said: “We have to see what happens, but before we do that, the problem we have is that all the costs are borne by us.” Yogurt.

Biden and Trump discuss immigration

These two candidates condemned each other on immigration. Donald Trump accused Biden of open border policies that allow “terrorists” into the United States. Biden replied: He exaggerates and lies again.

Donald Trump responded that he called this situation “Biden’s immigration crimes”.

Joe Biden earlier this year sponsored a bill co-sponsored by both Democrats and Republicans in the US Senate that sought to strengthen border security. But Trump urged lawmakers to reject any deal before the November election, and Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson declared the bill “dead on arrival” in the House and rejected it.

Donald Trump claimed: “We are currently facing the largest number of terrorists entering our country. All the terrorists from all over the world, not just from South America, but from all over the world. They come from the West Asia, from everywhere, from all over the world.

Trump condemned Biden in the context of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, the war in Ukraine and the attack on Israel

Trump said that Ukraine and Israel would not have been attacked under his presidency, and said that he considers America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan to be the “most shameful moment” in American history. It was one of the worst moments in American history. He mentioned the death of American soldiers and said that “billions of dollars” of US-supplied equipment remained in Afghanistan.

Biden said about the Ukraine war and Trump’s claim: “I have never heard so many stupid things.” This is the person who wants to leave NATO… you want to leave NATO. Our strength also lies in our alliances.

Biden’s problems in the debate

Joe Biden appeared to be having trouble coming up with answers at the debate. He cleared his throat and coughed several times. The White House doctor stated in the past that this problem of the President of the United States is caused by acid reflux. Joe Biden’s voice was hoarse and tired during the debate, according to one of the White House staff, Biden recently had a cold.

Biden, 81, forgot his words while answering a question about the national debt. Elsewhere in the debate, while advocating for the rich to pay more taxes, he couldn’t finish his sentence, and was silent for a long moment.

The first debate between Biden and Trump was held in the presence of two well-known CNN anchors, Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, without the presence of the audience in the studio of the CNN television network in Atlanta, Georgia. This debate lasted 100 minutes and included two breaks with They were commercial ads, and during its holding, the election headquarters of the two candidates could not interact with them.

Biden and Trump had agreed to appear on the same podium, and their place was determined by a coin or a lion or a line between the representatives of the two candidates, and Biden will be on the podium that can be seen on the right side of the television images, and Trump will be on the left tribune.

The microphones were also turned off during the debate except for the candidate whose turn it was to speak, because their last debate in 2020 was very tense and Trump did not allow Biden to finish his speech, which forced Biden to react. And he said: Can’t you choke, man? 

It was also decided that the President of the United States would be the last person to speak in this debate. Both candidates will do the debate standing up. No devices or notes will be allowed on stage and candidates will only be given a pen, paper and a bottle of water.

Biden’s team, some of whom helped prepare former US Democratic President Barack Obama for his debates, hope that in this debate they will pass the first debates of US presidential candidates.

Televised debates have long been an important part of the US presidential campaign and have marked historic moments for the candidates. The current and former presidents of the United States faced each other outside the safe environment of their office in the White House, and millions of Americans and the public opinion of the world witnessed this historic debate.

Trump has been one of the prominent figures of the Republican Party since 2016, when he became the President of the United States for the first time, who lost to his Democratic rival Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
