Before the Debate Even Kicks Off Biden Drops the Mic on Trump With His ‘Earpiece and Performance Enhancers’
Joe Biden is playing a masterful game – and playing Donald Trump. The former vice president is picking and choosing his battles, not letting Trump frame the argument, but punching back with style when he chooses, showing who’s the adult in the room.
He just did it again.
Trump, his family, and his team – including Fox News – have been falsely claiming Biden is on performance enhancing drugs, after denigrating him as “Sleepy Joe,” and lazy and mentally incompetent.
The latest attack, ludicrous as it seems, is that Biden has a secret hidden earpiece which he’s using to get all the answers from some mysterious backstage coach.
Almost two hours before the first presidential debate begins, Biden decided to slam Trump ever so gracefully, and totally on-brand.

I love this. Joe Biden should fight Donald Trump tonight using mockery and derision. That’s the only way to deal with a clown—however dangerous—like Donald Trump.
We are with you all the way, Joe! No matter what, we got your back.#Debates2020 pic.twitter.com/YWDGGQyhCR
