Trump has been silent, and Biden's criticisms still dominate.

All the focus is on President Joe Biden as more and more voices call for him to step down ahead of November’s presidential election. Doug Plank says the debate over his weaknesses has made Donald Trump’s usual tactic — shouting loudly — irrelevant.

– It's a bit unusual when it comes to Trump. Blank says he wants to be seen and heard, but he doesn't have to do anything when all the focus is on Joe Biden and away from Trump.

Instead, Trump’s tactic was to hide and allow Biden’s criticism to continue.

– He's got himself under control. It's only good for him, says Dag Blank.

Jan Hallenberg, a senior fellow at the Foreign Policy Institute, is on the same path.

“Since Biden has such problems and they are covered so much in the media, his advisers probably think it’s a good idea to let him act, too,” Hallenberg says.

destructive discussion

Donald Trump's silence has become more conspicuous since Joe Biden unseated himself in the high-stakes presidential debate. And Doug Blank believes the fact that his opponent's microphone was turned off while they were delivering their speeches may have played into Trump's hands.

– Trump came up with a long list of lies that would have been noticed otherwise. But now it has been taken back, says Dag Plank.

Since the debate, several Democrats have appealed. Biden withdraws from presidential race And let someone else take charge. Which was also somewhat noticeable in the opinion figures.

“It was very good for Trump that the only credible candidate against him showed that he did not have the ability to run a presidential campaign,” says Jan Hallenberg.

Opinion favors Trump

Jan Hallenberg believes everything will be on the line for Biden in the coming days.

– It has to end at some point. I think the days now and the beginning of next week are crucial, it has to be “Bo” or “Ba”. Either he resigns or he stays.

In connection with this and the fact that Donald Trump will soon hold a party convention, Hallenberg expects that Trump will return to it. His true self.

– He should come out and pick his running mate. You can already see from the little he said that he's been more aggressive in attacking Kamala Harris, who he sees as a potential replacement for Biden. He's already adapted his actions to the way he talks.
