The first Joe-Don presidential debate tells us more about the state of the US than the next POTUS
==========
The first Joe-Don presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump took place, providing insights into the state of the US. The debate was a representative trailer of the moving picture already playing in theatres not near China, Russia, or West Asia. The debate was a relatively sedated affair with no live audience and muted microphones. Biden and Trump traded shots, with Biden challenging Trump to carry his own golf bag. The debate highlighted America's choice between two has-beens running on spare fossil fuel. Biden appeared disoriented and Trump was all over the place, but it was Biden who seemed out of place. The debate did not determine capability or electoral popularity, but it revealed the fractured state of the US. The outcome of the debate is unlikely to determine the future of the US, as its geopolitical and economic dominance will depend on factors beyond the next occupant of the Oval Office.
