Trump vs. Biden: The best memes from the presidential debate

On Thursday night (6/27/2024), Donald Trump and President Joe Biden faced off in the first presidential debate, which for many was a tragedy – judging by the memes.

“It’s scary enough to think that these two pathetic men are supposed to be the best candidates available to lead the most powerful nation on earth – so scary you don’t even want to imagine it.”

Trump repeated one lie after another, while Biden froze and struggled to speak coherently on several occasions, at a loss for words. At one point the current president called Trump a “clown” and a “loser,” and later in the debate the two began fighting over who is better at golf.

The two candidates

Biden’s performance was seen as so tragic that some Democrats called for his replacement with a more capable candidate ahead of the election later this year.

“It’s scary enough to think that these two pathetic men are supposed to be the best available candidates to lead the most powerful nation on earth — so scary you don’t even want to imagine,” wrote Serena Smith of Dazed magazine commenting on debate.

And apparently the users of X (formerly Twitter) agree with her.

More specifically, some commented on Trump’s sneer when his love affair with Stormy was mentioned, while others criticized Biden’s stance on the Middle East. Of course, Biden’s expressions did not go unnoticed.

Don’t watch the debates if you’re one of those people who gets really sad when you see an elderly person eating soup alone at a restaurant.
