The second presidential debate between President Trump and Joe Biden is off and running, and during the opening segment about COVID-19 it didn’t take long for the Democrat nominee’s basement strategy to get zinged:
“America can’t lock itself into a basement like Joe Biden.” -Trump

But that came with the twist of Trump touching on some more recent news involving Joe Biden’s son without getting specific:
"Joe can afford to lock himself in a basement. He's made a lot of money someplace…" #Debates2020 pic.twitter.com/K3aR20ABAJ

“He’s obviously made a lot of money some place” Trump says of Biden
And so it begins…

TRUMP: "We can't lock ourselves up in a basement like Joe does. He has the ability to lock himself up. I don’t know, he’s obviously made a lot of money someplace but he has this thing about living in a basement." pic.twitter.com/Zr8nKXeXrB

OOF.
“Joe Biden can lock himself up in a basement… he’s obviously made a lot of money from somewhere.”
TRUMP. IS. LIT. ???

Trump also brought up information reportedly found on Hunter Biden’s laptop computer, along with a name allegedly used to describe the former VP:
President Trump: "You're the big man, I think. They said you have to give 10% to the big man. Joe, what is that all about? It's terrible." #debates2020 pic.twitter.com/acIlCxqZFY

“10% to the big man. You’re the big man I think?” @realDonaldTrump to @JoeBiden YET moderator changes subject?
That’s a question that needs answering. Seriously.

Trump calls Joe “the big man” ???????????
— I Yam What I Yam (@Nvr4Get91101) October 23, 2020
Trump is trying so hard to be “respectful” that instead of calling Biden “big guy” like the emails he said “Big Man” ??

Team Biden probably won’t appreciate the amount of time the moderator allowed the discussion about Hunter Biden’s business dealings to continue.
