(MENAFN) During a heated first presidential debate, former President Donald trump launched scathing criticisms against his successor, Joe Biden, alleging that Biden has eroded America's international reputation and undermined its economy.
Trump, addressing viewers during the news agency-hosted debate, lambasted Biden for what he characterized as mismanagement across various fronts, including the economy, immigration policies, and foreign relations. He pointedly criticized Biden's handling of the Afghanistan troop withdrawal, describing it as a policy failure that has tarnished America's standing on the global stage.
"We are no longer respected as a country throughout the entire world," Trump asserted, emphasizing a perceived decline in global regard for United States leadership under Biden's administration. He painted a stark picture, comparing the nation's status to that of a "third-world nation," citing what he views as waning international respect for the United States.
Biden, in response, defended his tenure as president, countering Trump's accusations by highlighting alleged missteps during Trump's own presidency, particularly in managing the COVID-19 pandemic and implementing tax policies that Biden claims primarily benefited the wealthy.
"The economy collapsed, jobs were scarce, and unemployment rose significantly," Biden argued, attributing these challenges to Trump's term in office. Biden further criticized Trump's governance style, accusing him of leaving the country in disarray, while asserting that his administration has been focused on revitalizing the economy and restoring stability.
The debate underscored deep-seated differences in policy approaches and assessments of presidential legacies, setting the stage for a contentious electoral contest amid ongoing debates over America's global influence and domestic economic recovery.
