During the first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, the incumbent president was pressured about the far-right group "Proud Boys". He was asked to distance himself from them, but the response has led to both criticism and debate in the United States. - Proud Boys, stand back, stand by, Donald Trump said during the debate. American linguist Katie Nielson says that nothing in his statement can be interpreted as him distancing himself from the group.
There are divided opinions about Donald Trump's call for the far - right group "Proud Boys".
Swedish researcher Kristina Björkenstam, who wrote about Trump's language, says that he often repeats himself to gain time - and that this time he simply said wrong.
- One interpretation is that he says "stand back", and when he has to repeat himself he happens to say "stand by" instead, she says.
