President Donald Trump and Vice President Joe Biden were scheduled to participate in a town hall style debate on October 15, but that was upended when Trump tested positive for the virus that's killed over 200 thousand Americans.

With Trump testing positive two weeks before the scheduled event, the Commission on Presidential Debates announced that the second debate would be held virtually.


Trump refused and pulled out of the second debate, leading Biden's campaign to announce a town hall on ABC on the night originally planned for the debate.

As a result, Trump announced days later that he would participate in a town hall on NBC at the same time as Biden, essentially challenging the Democratic nominee to a ratings battle and limiting voters' ability to hear from both candidates.

Trump campaign spokeswoman Mercedes Schlapp attempted to roast Biden during his town hall by comparing him to the beloved children's show host Mr. Rogers.

 

The ill-advised comparison comes just weeks after Mr. Rogers' widow excoriated Trump as "pathologically ill."

Mr. Rogers was the host of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood, which ran for 31 seasons until 2001. He was adored for his gentility and empathy while finding creative ways to introduce young viewers to complex issues.

Twitter roasted Schlapp for implying that Mr. Rogers was an unenviable personality.

 


 


 


 


 


 

The personality of Mr. Rogers is a far cry from that of Donald Trump.

 


 


 

Schlapp later made light of the moment in a Fox News interview, saying "We love Mr Rogers, but I gotta tell you, those puppets were always a little freaky when I was growing up."

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams was widely mocked after he shared a video on social media of his "morning routine," with time stamps showing his activities—only for viewers to notice that a standard black-and-white wall clock visible in part of the video showed a very different time.

Adams jumped on the latest Instagram trend this week, sharing his version of a “morning routine” video with his followers. The trend, which has already begun to fade, typically features sped-up clips of people going through their early rituals—complete with edits, ambient music, and timestamp overlays.
