October 24, 2020 Donald Trump rides two half missteps by Joe Biden in Thursday's TV duel: the first when he called Obama's policies on migrants on the Mexican border (including the construction of the cages) a mistake and the second when he evoked the exit from fossil energy.

"Joe Biden was very disrespectful to President Obama at last night's debate when he said he was 'the vice president, not the president' as he tried to justify himself for their failed migration policies. I wonder what" O "was thinking. (Obama, ed) when he heard this, "he tweeted. 

In another twitter, however, he reports that Biden said he will go towards "the exit (from

Left-wing Democrats, what Trump calls radical socialists, are thrilled with the idea that the United States is ending its dependence on oil and gas as part of the fight against climate change.

But this policy could alienate working-class voters in politically crucial states like Pennsylvania, Ohio and Texas, where many of the industry's employees are based.
