President Donald Trump speaks during a campaign rally at Arnold Palmer Regional Airport on Sept. 3, 2020, in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.After weathering months of insults and millions of dollars in advertising painting him as senile, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden could likely just recite those five words — which President Donald Trump — and instantly exceed expectations in Tuesday night’s first debate.
Historically, candidates heading into these encounters try to raise expectations for their opponents — the easier to cast their own performance as a great success afterward. Indeed, Trump’s professional campaign staff has been doing just that in recent weeks. Four days later, at a news conference on the North Portico of the White House, he repeated that insult, and added another: “Biden is a stupid person. You know that. You’re not going to write it. But you know that.”
The president’s comments build on millions of dollars of television and digital ads — some dishonestly edited to make Biden seem incoherent or doctored to make him look infirm — that the Trump campaign has purchased over a period of months, making it one of the leading lines of attack against his opponent.
“Reagan came off as statesmanlike, not a right-wing radical,” said Rice University historian Douglas Brinkley. “Reagan had to show that he could be calm, warm, tough but not be an extremist.”
He doesn't have to say a word. Trump will bury himself.
