 Trump primes response in case of strong Biden debate showing
by Brett Samuels - 06/21/24 5:30 AM ET

Former President Trump and his allies are laying the foundation to dismiss a strong debate performance by President Biden as a charade.

Trump and other conservatives have in recent days floated the baseless claim that if Biden does well at next week’s debate in Atlanta, it will be because he’s using some kind of performance enhancer.

The claims echo a similar strategy Trump and others used to downplay Biden’s well-received State of the Union speech earlier in the year. They also come as some Republicans worry Biden will defy the caricature that Trump and right-wing media have painted of him as a feeble, confused old man.

“Republicans would be wise to play down expectations,” said one Republican strategist. “Make the point that Biden is a good debater.”

I'm reading this in disbelief.  We've all watched Joe's gaffes, his stuttering and stammering, becoming incoherent, wondering aimlessly and freezing in place.  So how is he going to make it through 90 minutes of debating?  Are there enough drugs to successfully keep him focused?  I realize they're taking a week to get him prepared.  Obviously he'll have his answers down pat and questions given to him ahead of time.  The moderators will ask Trump questions in an unfair manner and they'll also have control of the mics. But even at that Joe is in really rough shape, unless he's been one heck of an actor.

I know it sounds far fetched, but I'm thinking they'll create a body double or utilize some sort of AI to create a victorious Joe at the debates.
