Note the various barbs being traded, confirming that democracy is indeed a popularity contest, coz one way to be popular is to put down other people....

As Mr Biden tried to restart his explanation, the President cut him off again, and the Democratic nominee shot back: "Will you shut up, man? This is so un-presidential."

Mr Biden responded with a blunt retort: "You're the worst president America has ever had."

Mr Biden even called the President a "clown" - twice.

Mr Trump, 74, has called Mr Biden "Sleepy Joe", an apparent dig at the 77-year-old Democrat's vitality.....mocked his opponent's academic performance at the University of Delaware where, according to the Washington Post, Mr Biden graduated 506th in a class of 688. "He was the lowest or almost the lowest in your class. Don't ever use the word smart with me," Mr Trump said. "Because you know what, there's nothing smart about you, Joe."
