President Trump turned in the restrained and consistent performance his advisers said he needed in his final debate with Joe Biden, but it was unlikely to alter the Election2020 race in any fundamental way Reuters analysis by JamesOliphant

Biden leads Trump in opinion polls nationally as the race enters its final stretch, although his edge is tighter in key battleground states. Trump continued to insist that businesses should fully reopen and all students should return to schools, while playing down predictions that the winter would bring a second devastating wave of cases. “We’re learning to live with it,” said Trump, who battled the virus himself earlier this month.

There was little recognition from the president that most of the public watching at home had endured a brutal year marked by lockdowns, layoffs, illness and death. When Biden sought to appeal directly to struggling families, Trump dismissed it as empty political rhetoric.

Donovan said the gambit would yield diminishing returns in an election where voters have far greater concerns.

jamesoliphant Trump took no responsibility and outlined no plan or policy for healthcare, the pandemic, immigration, the economy, infrastructure, racism, or foreign policy.

jamesoliphant Ugh 😩 Trump was TERRIBLE

jamesoliphant TrumpVirus GOPDeathCult

jamesoliphant Did you as a news agency attend the whistleblower’s news event yesterday? Too bad you missed the real story! Don’t worry over 100 million people are aware of the Whistleblower and his statements due to real journalists!!

jamesoliphant The needle will only move once the mainstream News organizations start to report on the Whistleblower’s evidence regarding Joe Biden and the “Biden Family Business”. But the mainstream is so bias they refuse to be real journalists! Too Bad

jamesoliphant realmente ustedes los medios tratan de ver a TRUMP como el perdedor solo miren como hizo de la econocia mas grande del mundo en 4 años sino fuera por el virus la historia fuera otra, los amaricanos le gusta vivir feliz y tener todo eso lo lograron con trump lo dice un venezolano

jamesoliphant Meaning ..... ? Joe is way ahead? SilentMajorityNOMore SilentMajority 😎

jamesoliphant Who cares if you’re “restrained” if you are still speaking gobbledegook and making moronic facial expressions? A pet basset hound could sit there restrained. I can’t believe that is criteria for a debate.

jamesoliphant

jamesoliphant Seemed like he tried to be calm here since he threw a tantrum and walked away from the 60 minutes interview

jamesoliphant Trump won the Debate and he’ll win

jamesoliphant Trump was high during last night’s debate. He claimed Obama built cages for migrant children when we all know it happened in 2018 during his term, and then the clincher - the coyotes that brought the children to the US in the first place! Trump was as high as a kite

jamesoliphant Like, what percentage of the words that came out of Trump’s mouth were lies? I’m thinking 95%. Take a transcript and highlight all the bullshit. There’s your analysis.

jamesoliphant So true. TrumpLandslide2020

jamesoliphant Reuters must believe that a corrupted person will win the presidency, that is hilarious.

jamesoliphant It was unlikely, election hasn't happened yet guys try! But yes Trump was always going to beat Biden🤣🤣🤣

jamesoliphant Reuters you are so biased

jamesoliphant Coming from the corrupt media

jamesoliphant Now are you going to report on the LaptopFromHell

jamesoliphant

jamesoliphant I don't trust polls since the Hillary thing

jamesoliphant Wait and see, James. Nice try, though 🤣

jamesoliphant Trump lied as usual

jamesoliphant Is reuters affiliated with Faux News?

jamesoliphant Trump is a national hero. 12MoreYears

jamesoliphant I reckon that was the best performance from Donald Trump ever. Joe was alright but everything he said was a cliche.

jamesoliphant BLM: Biden Laptop Matters

jamesoliphant Narrator: “He also did not answer one question from the moderator.”

jamesoliphant The president is being praised for not entirely acting like a temper tantrum throwing toddler. Can the bar go any lower?

jamesoliphant Lies are still lies whether shouted or spoken calmly He's lowered the bar of his expected behavior so low, it doesn't exist. Your description of his performance strives to paint him in a postive light for almost acting somewhat human for a frickin' change. Stop doing that

jamesoliphant His horrible face failed him.

jamesoliphant He exposed the Biden Crime family

jamesoliphant Restrained? More like full wacko bird.

jamesoliphant Restrained obviously being a relative thing. No, he didn't foam at the mouth.

jamesoliphant Trump2020Landslide thinks Biden's attack o the oil industry is of no consequence. I think fake news will be of no consequence once Trump wins reelection.

jamesoliphant He lied consistently and unrestrainedly. He can't go a sentence without telling a lie.

jamesoliphant The bar is so fucking low

jamesoliphant Both performed well. Election will tell.

jamesoliphant If trying to win over suburban housewives was his goal, he failed miserably. Although he didn’t rant and behave like a child, he was still a condescending, arrogant, hateful bully...not to mention he answered *zero* questions. Definitely, not impressive to his target demographic.

jamesoliphant Trump offered absolutely nothing of substance to assure American Voters he has plans to improve our current situation on Covid-19, Economy, Unemployment, or Civil Unrest. Trump accepted responsibility for Covid-19 by saying it’s not his fault, then blamed China. So Pathetic Man!

jamesoliphant Wow...Lies, almost 230,000 people DEAD + more to come and millions more worried about food and shelter and their family and their livelihoods...but his handlers should be happy with this one time performance that had to have muted mikes. Ugh. This is Seriously Disturbed.

jamesoliphant That was not restrained simply bc he didn’t go ballistic.

jamesoliphant Trump is 24/7 everywhere. Biden napping. Covid hits Trump. No wonder he was off that debate. Tonight was game changer. Got back the real President Trump-covidless. He’s recovered. keepitreal trumpenergy vs SleepyJoe

jamesoliphant Biden has been a politician for 47 years and did nothing to solve the problems he had listed during the debate. Now, he has plans for everything? DrainTheSwamp

jamesoliphant Lies are lies, restrained or not.

jamesoliphant He’s done no one cares

jamesoliphant Lmaooooo

jamesoliphant Also it was jam-packed with lies. That could have made it into your headline too.

jamesoliphant And by “restrained and consistent performance” you mean he lied the entire debate?

jamesoliphant Alas! agreed that realDonaldTrump performed great last night.

jamesoliphant He's done nothing but Lie voluminously daily his whole awful presidency. There's no point in listening to him. He & his enablers have been & are destroying this nation. Vote to end this sh**show.

jamesoliphant What?! Your award a rapist beast for not acting like a rapist beast? 👎🏼 🖕

jamesoliphant Too much remains in his path of destruction. Everything that he has not done. All of the wildfires currently going on the west; people's homes are burning up, they have to evacuate and he's doing nothing. Trump himself is a wildfire. Horribly out of control.

jamesoliphant

jamesoliphant Part headline, part soothsaying. 😂

jamesoliphant How will Donald Trump be described by historians in 50 years?

jamesoliphant Any appearance in which realDonaldTrump doesn’t come off as a four year old throwing a tantrum is a win. Great job. Don’t blow it with the morning tweet storm.

jamesoliphant It won’t change many minds unless you care about the energy industry as a buyer, producer or seller. Admitting you’re shutting down fossil fuels is so “Build Back Batter” NWO of him.

jamesoliphant Restrained delusions and falsifications are better than the normal performance but not good enough for another 4-year trial.

jamesoliphant Lol is this the onion

jamesoliphant Why would anybody vote to: 1. Defund the police 2. Shut down the country again. 3. Become energy dependent on other countries again. 4. Ship our jobs to China 5. Socialism 6. Open borders 7. Packing the Supreme Court

jamesoliphant The more I watch Biden speak, the more I can't believe what a blatant liar he is. I've seen the footage of Biden speech in 1994. Honestly how did this guy get nominated. How can Americans want someone like Biden.

jamesoliphant He lied. From beginning to end. The man is untethered from reality. For him the truth is what he can persuade others to believe. Maybe Reuters ought to go back to reporting facts, you know, like when you were a reliable source of news?

jamesoliphant I’ve never read a story so positive from Reuters, even tho it won’t make a difference!!! So we shouldn’t go and vote because it doesn’t matter.

jamesoliphant Restrained EVIL and Consistent EVIL is STILL EVIL!!

jamesoliphant I missed the part in the article that discussed how Trump lied every time he opened his mouth. But sure, restraint. The media has learned nothing since 2016.

jamesoliphant I want to keep Trumps tax cuts. I want my 401k to continue to grow I want More cops, not less. I want to own guns to protect my home. I want to buy cheap gasoline I want to buy cheap electricity I want a president that has my back After 47 years of zero results Joe is a failure!

jamesoliphant Everyone is OTHERED in Trump’s America. It is ALL about Him and Him Alone. And he can’t think past himself to make a plan to help anyone but himself. He has never had a “plan” that didn’t require a bailout from his Father. Who is Trump’s daddy now? Serious question.

jamesoliphant Brilliant performance from realDonaldTrump in the final debate got JoeBiden staring at his watch and telling himself this will end soon...it was a nightmare and a long night for JoeBiden.

jamesoliphant What’s with the face color?

jamesoliphant You’re right, it was a performance, an action

jamesoliphant Bugie, bugie, bugie

jamesoliphant Why would the last debate not have any influence? And how do they know that? What a weird conjecture to make.

jamesoliphant He still lied every time he opened his mouth

jamesoliphant I do think the first debate was the start of Trump’s Covid. He came across then as deranged - like a sick person. This was much more stable. In saying that, he is a lying, manipulative toad who I hope is in jail this time next year.

jamesoliphant

jamesoliphant kerrylance_

jamesoliphant American people do not want corrupt people running our government. So why do people on the left want Biden there? He is not putting American people or our country first just his family and his own interest.

jamesoliphant Oh was this the day Trump became President

jamesoliphant You mean he wasn't allowed to talk over the other guy constantly, which he would have done. If the metric is he still lied and didn't even try, then yes..it certainly was consistent.

jamesoliphant Consistently full of shit

jamesoliphant Trump could not offer a solid PLAN in regard to COVID, racism, global warming, healthcare, and/or the economy. Biden had innovate ideas and practical solutions to pull us out of the horrific mess that we've been thrust into. BidenWonTheDebate

jamesoliphant The guy acted like a gibbering weirdo like usual.

jamesoliphant You guys fall for this crap every stinking time!

jamesoliphant ....and we’re going to phase out the oil industry!!!!!!! joebiden2020

jamesoliphant Fuck socialism.
