The television duel between Donald Trump and Joe Biden is painful. It’s sad to see what has become of the United States. But there is hope. Donald Trump versus Joe Biden – at the beginning it briefly looked like there was going to be a debate. However, it quickly became clear: this is going to be an unworthy spectacle. The US President made sure of that. He disobeyed the rules, kept interrupting his opponent, kept talking in between. It became a show, marked by noise and personal attacks – also by Biden. He called Trump a racist, a liar, a clown, Putin’s lap dog and urged the president to shut up. Trump bullied, sneered, lied. It wasn’t about discourse. His aim was to prevent a debate.

Attacks and battles of words Trump and Biden engage in heated chaos duel

The President succeeded. The purpose of the televised debates is for candidates to explain their positions and plans so that voters can form their opinion. It goes without saying that there have always been violent arguments and biting remarks. Trump was spiteful and aggressive in the debates with Hillary Clinton four years ago, but this appearance was something completely new. It hurt to see the level of political strife in the United States. These 90 minutes of abuse and disrespect are a sad example of how bad things are for US democracy right now. Trump ignored the rules and lacked decency not only in the debate. The president is constantly breaking norms without which a democracy cannot function. It sows distrust in democratic institutions. As irreconcilable as Trump and Biden were, the US is deeply divided.

The country has now reached the point where the US president is unwilling to distance himself from racist groups. Instead, Trump even shouted to the right-wing extremist “Proud Boys”: “Hold back and be ready.” That sounds anything but reassuring. A US president has to defend democracy. But Trump doubts the legitimacy of the elections and speaks of massive fraud by the other side. He refuses to promise to recognize the result of the presidential election even if he is defeated. But it doesn’t have to come to that. In its history, the USA – in contrast to Germany – has always managed to correct bad mistakes itself. Many Americans are fed up with the undignified Trump show. For now, it looks like it will be enough to end in November.
