Donald Trump Takes Shots at Joe Biden at Post-Debate Rally in Virginia
Former President Donald Trump opened his rally in Chesapeake, Virginia, on Friday afternoon by taking some post-debate pot shots at President Joe Biden.
âWe had a big victory against a man who is looking to destroy our country,â Trump told the crowd, while mocking Bidenâs well-documented debate prep with his former Chief-of-Staff, Ron Klain at Camp David. âHe studied so hard that he didnât know what the hell he was doing.â

Later in the rally, Trump further mocked Bidenâs debate prep, trying his hand at an impersonation of the president.
âLeave me alone, Iâm studying for debate. I wanna sleep and study thatâs all Iâm going to do for 10 days while the world is going to hell,â Trump said.
âHe got the debate rules that he wanted. He got the date that he wanted. He got the network that he wanted with the moderates (sic) he wanted. No amount of rest or rigging could help him defend his atrocious record,â Trump continued.
The former president also reiterated some of his newer lines from the Thursdayâs debate, lamenting that âmillions of people pouring into our countryâ are taking âBlackâ and âHispanicâ jobs, adding that they have had these racially specific jobs for âa long time.â
Black lawmakers took offense to Trumpâs comment on âBlack jobsâ following the debate.
âAs one of less than 60 black women to swear into Congress, Iâm assuming Trump doesnât think my job is a âblack job,â but MY BLACK TAIL will be up early to do the work of my amazing & beautiful coalition of people that make up TX-30!â Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) wrote in an X post.
Rep. Stacey Plaskett (R-VI) also wrote in an X post, âAnother day in Congress doing our âBlack jobs.â
Trump allies, however, claim Trump was sending a different message altogether.
âHe meant the jobs of Black people. And weâve been using that term for a while,â said Diante Johnson, president of the Black Conservative Federation, according to the Associated Press. âItâs any job. Instead of Black people having unlimited accessibility to all types of jobs, illegal immigrants are taking their jobs from them.â
Trump questions if America can survive four more years of "Crooked Joe Biden in the White House."

Trump, who during the debate who called Biden âa very bad Palestinian,â because he wonât âfinish the jobâ on the Israeli-Hamas war, pejoratively referred to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who is Jewish, as âa Palestinianâ at the Friday rally as well.
âHeâs become a Palestinian,â Trump said of Schumer. âCongratulations, he was very loyal to Israel and the Jewish people, heâs Jewish, but heâs become a Palestinian.â
Trump then insinuated that Schumer reversed his position on Israel because Palestinians âhave a few more votes or something.â
