Is Anyone Surprised That Biden Didn't Make More Of The Tax Issue?.....

I know he said to Trump to prove it - release your taxes. The problem was that Trump was talking over Biden and you couldn't even hear Biden say that.

Very calmly - Biden should have waited and when Trump shut up - Biden should have then said - release your taxes and prove it.

The tax issue has been all over the media the past couple days, plus he did mention it.

"Biden should have waited and when Trump shut up "

The latter never happened.

our recliners.

Joe was dealing with a genuine maniac who had no shame and refused to follow the rules he'd agreed to. It is a wonder Trump still has all his teeth and can still see out of both eyes.

Biden made the right point that the regular people are busting their butts and paying their share while people like Trump cheat the system

And grilled him over and over to answer that.
"How many of your debt holders are foreign? Why should the American public elect someone who would fail a national security clearance with such a high debt level?
Why did you lie and tell the American people you made money when in fact you were just a big loser?
