In the debates when Trump starts throwing out juvenile insults at Biden

like calling him "Sleepy Joe". Biden needs to just look at him and say: "Are you a 3 year old? Most kids above the age of 6 sound more mature and intelligent than you with this ridiculous name calling? Come on, we need to bring back dignity to the Presidency. Stop acting like a Jr. High School bully and grow up."

Trump's Junior HS childish antics need to be called out for what they are.

I did notice that Trump's niece, Mary, said that addressing him as Donald and directly calling out his lies will rattle him. I really hope Biden can get him rattled during the debate.

That would be great, and a signal that Biden should go in to finish him off.



Maybe even subtilty mimic it back at him, that would definitely get under his skin.

After each and every childish insult:

“Where’s your taxes?”

After ANY mention of the military:

Joe points to the camera and says, “Would you like to call American veterans suckers and losers to their faces?”

After ANY mention of law enforcement:

Again, to the camera, “Would you like to call law enforcement, a great many of them veterans, suckers and losers?”

Healthcare:

Where’s YOUR plan, Mr. Two Weeks?”

Invoke that episode Mary Trump recounted of Donnie's older brother dumping the bowl of mashed spuds on his head. Would that set the big AnusMouth off, or what?!?

Pout and fold his arms across his giant man boobs. Love Mary telling it. Laughing AT him destroys him. Remember Obama having the whole room laugh at his fat ass. It still burns his anus. Both of them. The facial anus and the one near the mushroom patch.

I was thinking Joe Biden should call DJT 'Fat Boy". That would get DJT's goat. Joe is such a decent man, he probably wouldn't do it but I think it would be a kick to DJT.

Tell him to go sit in the corner. Send him to time-out. Explain to America that it's not a good look for your president to retrograde our honor by using childish ephitets.

When she said "He choked..." or something to that effect...

If I remember correctly, it had something to do with his trip to Mexico to establish his "international" creds...failed miserably.

She brought it up and claimed he "choked"...

The dumpster's reaction was instantaneous...he confirmed, at that moment what an insecure piece of shit he is.

He should be branded as a choker at every possible opportunity.

Are they virtual or on a stage together? I mean, with the whole covid problem, I doubt I'd want Rump stalking me around a stage as he did with Hillary.

That's all the bumbling fucker has, and you know he will do it. I wouldn't him near me.

"These personal attacks are why America is the laughing stock of the world. This isn't statesmenship, it's 10 year old schoolyard bullying. The President of the United States should not go around hurling racist memes about other world leaders or calling women dogs and horseface or accusing his opponents of being drug users or telling people a senators father help assasinate Kennedy. That's not what we need right now folks. We need a calm, steady, respectful hand and I promise you, I will be that man". Donald wants me to get down in the mud with him but I won't because as the old saying goes, don't try to wrestle a pig in the mud because you just get dirty and the pig loves it".

He takes calling him out as a "win" (hehe, I got under your skin).

To get to him, treat him like he doesn't matter, like he isn't even worth noticing. NOTE: That doesn't mean "ignore him", it means "get under his skin instead."

And nothing does that better than disregard for his status. So don't call him "Mr. President" or "President Trump", just use his name casually: "Donnie."
