‘Just shut up, man’ – Biden and Trump trade personal insults in first presidential debate

NEW YORK: It was more of a brawl than a debate. President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden faced off in a series of heated cross-talks and putdowns. 

Each sought to undermine the other’s personality and fitness to lead.

They both denigrated the intelligence of their rival, with Trump repeatedly attacking Biden as a puppet in the hands of the radical left, which he claimed is trying to steal the election. 

Biden called the president a “clown,” “racist,”  and “a liar.”
