Donald Trump Is a 'Loser' and 19 Other Things Joe Biden Said at the 2024 Presidential Debate

In the 90-minute debate, President Joe Biden — whose hoarse voice made headlines — repeatedly attacked former President Donald Trump's past administration.

"We had an economy that was in free fall," Biden said of Trump’s stint in office. "Just inject a little bleach into your arm, and you’ll be alright."

He added, "By the time he left, things were in chaos. Things were in chaos. So we put things back together."

After Trump lambasted Biden over migrants who illegally crossed the border, the incumbent president accused him of "exaggerating" and "lying."

"The only terrorist who has done anything crossing the border is one who came along and killed three — in his administration — an al Qaeda person in his administration — killed three American soldiers," Biden firmly said. "Killed three American soldiers. That's the only terrorist — I'm not saying no terrorist ever got through, but the idea they're emptying their prisons, we're welcoming these people, that's simply not true, there is no data to support what he said."

Biden answered a question about wealthy Americans' tax rates, but he paused several times and struggled to mention Medicare.

"Excuse me," he said, pausing, "…dealing with everything we have to do with… Look, if we finally beat Medicare."

When Biden and Trump sparred over their treatment of veterans, the current president slammed the ex-POTUS for the past comments he made about the people who died during the war.

"My son was not a loser or a sucker. You are a loser. You are a sucker," Joe said, referring to his late veteran son Beau Biden.

One of the biggest moments from the presidential debate was the moment Joe finally brought up Donald's criminal felony convictions after their heated exchange about the January 6 U.S. Capitol attack and the violence following George Floyd's killing.

"The only person on this stage who is a convicted felon is this man I’m looking at right now," Joe told his rival.

Joe continuously dug into Donald's legal battles and controversies after bringing up the topic at the debate.

"How many billions of dollars do you owe in civil penalties for, for molesting a woman in public, for doing a whole range of things, of having s-- with a p--- star on the night – while your wife was pregnant? What are you talking about?" said Joe.

The 81-year-old president said, "Could you ever think you heard any president say that ‘I’m going to seek retribution?’ This guy has no sense of American democracy."

After Donald said he left behind an ideal economy after his term, Joe criticized the ex-president and his administration.

"There was no inflation when I took the presidency. You know why? The economy was flat on its back," Joe declared. "He decimated the economy. Absolutely decimated the economy. That’s why there was no inflation. There were no jobs."

Questioning Donald's environmental track record, Joe said during the debate, "I don’t know where the h--- he’s been. I’ve passed the most extensive climate change legislation in history."

He added, "And he didn’t do a d--- thing about it. He wants to undo all that I’ve done."

After Donald claimed the U.S. has started to decline, Joe called the country the strongest one on earth.

"I’ve never heard a president talk like this before. We’re the envy of the world. Name me a single major country that wouldn’t trade places with the United States of America," he challenged the former The Apprentice host.

Amid voters' concerns regarding his health and age, Joe mentioned how incompetent Donald is despite being younger than him.

"First of all, I spent half my career being criticized for being the youngest person in politics … and now I’m the oldest," he noted, reminding the voters to look at what he has done instead.

Joe compared himself to Donald as he claimed no one in his troops have died. CNN debunked the statement since there were U.S. service members who died overseas during Joe's presidency, including the 13 troops who passed away in a suicide bombing when the U.S. withdrew from Afghanistan.

After Donald boasted about his polling figures, Joe retorted and called his rival a wailer.

"We’ll see what your numbers are when this election is over," Joe said, adding, "Not one single court in America said any of your claims had any merit. There’s no evidence of that at all. And I tell you what, I doubt you’re going to accept [the results] because you’re such a whiner."
