During the initial moments of his debate with former President Donald Trump, President Joe Biden experienced a momentary pause and seemed disoriented. This occurrence took place as Biden was discussing his support for tripling taxes on billionaires. The freeze lasted for a significant duration of over ten seconds, concluding only when his allotted time expired.

He said in part:

“We’d be able to help make sure that all those things we need to do, childcare, elder care, making sure that we continue to strengthen our healthcare system, making sure that we’re able to make every single solitary person eligible for what I’ve been able to do with the COVID, excuse me, with dealing with everything we have to do with, look, if – we finally beat Medicare.”

“Thank you, President Biden,” CNN moderator Jake Tapper interjected before Biden could finish.

Trump was quick to shoot back, saying:

“Well, he’s right; he did beat Medicare,” Trump said. “He beat it to death, and he’s destroying Medicare because all of these people are coming in. They’re putting them on Medicare, they’re putting them on social security.”
