_THE DEBATE MODERATED BY FOX NEWS ANCHOR CHRIS WALLACE IN CLEVELAND, OHIO, WAS AS BAD-TEMPERED AS HAD BEEN FEARED, WITH TRUMP LEADING THE WAY IN YELLING OVER HIS CHALLENGER AND MODERATOR AS
WELL._ Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden told a raging President Donald Trump to “shut up” in the first Presidential debate. The heated debate turned almost immediately into a
shouting match 35 days ahead of the most tense US election in recent memory. The debate moderated by Fox News anchor Chris Wallace in Cleveland, Ohio, was as bad-tempered as had been feared,
with Trump leading the way in yelling over his challenger and moderator as well. Without even shaking hands before the debate, the two leaders took the stage and while this was due to
Covid-19 restrictions, the absence of the traditional greeting symbolized divisions through the country in the final countdown to November 3. Trump called Joe Biden “radical left” had the
centrist Democrat “wrapped around their little finger.” Trump also said one of his sons of corruption and telling Biden that “there’s nothing smart” about the Democrat. Biden, not only gave
as good as he got, launched the kind of attack on Trump that the billionaire president has rarely had to endure to his face. Biden not only called “liar”, “racist”, and “clown” but also
tagged Trump as the “puppy” of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Biden also targeted Trump over his administration’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic. “How many of you got up this morning
and had an empty chair at the kitchen table because someone died of Covid?” Biden asked. Taking a jibe at Trump for his earlier remark, Biden said: “Maybe you could inject bleach in your arm
and that would take care of it.” Targeting Trump, who has broken longtime presidential transparency by refusing to publish his tax returns, Biden published his tax returns hours before the
debate. Biden demanded Trump to do likewise. He has paid “millions” in taxes, Trump insisted.
