I think the problem was partly Biden, but that was made much worse by the fact that I don't think I've ever seen Trump sound more coherent.

Yes, he still lied, and yes he's still Trump. But it wasn't like the 2020 debate, and it wasn't like his recent ridiculous rantings about Hannibal Lector, etc... This was the closest thing to a functioning adult I've seen Trump look since he entered politics, and meanwhile about the worst I've personally seen Biden come off.

I disagree with the meme in OP because Trump voters must be gleeful today. How could they not be? They believe everything he said, so they just saw their guy being the best he can be and Biden being nearly the worst he can be.

However, I also think this is recoverable if Trump returns to form in the next debate, especially if Biden has more spring in his step. Maybe he had a cold? (seriously I wondered if he was under the weather)
