Inside Joe Biden's secret debate rehearsals ahead of next week's showdown with Donald Trump - and the biggest mistakes he could make

Joe Biden is locked in an intense five-day debate camp as he prepares to take on his hated rival Donald Trump in Thursday's televised brawl.

Trump is expected to goad, insult, interrupt, and heckle the president - and the man playing him in practice sessions won't take it any easier on Biden.

Bob Bauer, the president's longtime personal lawyer, is expected to stand in for Trump as he did before the successful 2020 debates.

Biden left for Camp David on Thursday night and will use the favorite presidential retreat for the ultra-secret debate preparation.

Such is the code of silence around debate camps that Bauer wouldn't even confirm he would reprise his role as the villain this time.

But he did share some behind-the-scenes details from the 2020 preparations, and a few of the mistakes he and Biden must avoid both in practice and on Thursday.

Bauer said he had to immerse himself in what the opposing candidate said, along with their tone and style of argument, to recreate the experience of debating them.

'I as Donald Trump, played my part lying and blustering and bullying my way through the mock sessions,' he wrote in his book, The Unraveling.

'To prepare, I watched hours of tapes of the 45th president, as a businessman, 2016 candidate, and then in office.

'We set aside special sessions during which I was expected to be at my Trump-worst - as personally insulting and unhinged as Trump can be.'

What Are They Hiding? No Photos, Videos or Sightings of Biden During Week of Debate Prep at Camp David

... Curiously, neither the White House nor the Biden campaign has released any new photos or video of Biden in the past week, let alone arranged a brief public viewing.

M.J. Lee, a reporter with debate host CNN, reported Monday that Biden was working late into the evening on debate prep and eating lasagna, “President Biden and his team of advisers at Camp David are still in debate prep and have yet to break for the day, per a senior adviser.  Dinner tonight was lasagna.” ...

WASHINGTON — At Camp David, a movie theater and an airplane hangar have been outfitted with lights and production equipment to create a mock debate stage. At least 16 current and former aides, summoned from Washington and Wilmington, Delaware, whiz back and forth on golf carts to join President Joe Biden in strategy sessions.

Biden is entering his fifth day of preparations at the presidential retreat in the woods of northern Maryland for Thursday’s debate against Donald Trump. Camp David has become the epicenter for an administration and campaign effort to help Biden shake off the rust that often comes with being an incumbent on the defense, and combat widespread voter concerns that he is too old to be an effective president.

According to people familiar with the planning at Camp David who were not authorized to speak publicly about it, the workdays vary in length and are not rigidly structured. Biden and his most trusted advisers work on what they think would be best to refine or practice in the moment.

All of this paid for by the Biden Campaign, I'm sure.  They wouldn't leave it to taxpayers to pay the cost of renting out Camp David and adding all those lights and equipment, would they?  That would be a violation of federal campaign laws.
