Joe Biden isn’t moderating the first presidential debate, but he did have one very important question for Donald Trump: “Will you shut up, man?”
For those who aren’t subjecting themselves to this extremely painful night of Men Talking Over Each Other. Here’s what you need you need to know.
Donald Trump appears to be incapable of having a normal back and forth, and instead of calmly and constructively debating he keeps interrupting Biden. This then leads to them loudly butting heads and speaking over actual debate moderator, Fox News’ Chis Wallace.
At one point Trump yammered on so relentlessly that Biden snapped and asked what so many people have been wanting to say to Trump for years now: “Will you shut up, man?”
After Wallace officially ended the segment, Biden sarcastically said, “That was really a productive segment, wasn’t it?” and directed a “Keep yappin’, man” at Trump.
But the “Will you shut up, man?” proved to be a really strong debate mood among the exhausted American people.
Where can I get a bumper sticker that says “Will you shut up, man?”
