Did Biden just say 'inshallah'? The best memes and reactions from last night's debate

Luke O'Reilly30 September 2020

US President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden attacked and interrupted each other during the first 2020 presidential debate as they discussed the coronavirus pandemic, job losses and the Supreme Court.

The two politicians faced off in Cleveland, Ohio, for the highly anticipated first televised debate just over a month before the election.

During an acrimonious and chaotic showdown, Mr Trump and Mr Biden exchanged verbal blows while the moderator, Chris Wallace, struggled to take control.

Trump bulldozed his way through the 90-minute debate , trying to goad Mr Biden nearly every time he spoke, claiming that Democrats were trying to steal the November presidential election with mail-in ballots and declining to condemn white supremacist groups when asked to do so.

At one point, an exasperated Mr Biden said after the president's repeated interruptions: "Will you shut up, man? This is so unpresidential."

While public response to the debate was largely negative, Twitter has lit up with responses and reactions - bringing some humour to the proceedings.

Here are some of the best ones doing the rounds...

Look who's talking

Praying for 2024

A long time ago...

No, you shut up!

Older, but none the wiser

Seriously though, wear a mask

The 2020 US Presidential Election will be held on November 3, with the new president's inauguration taking place on January 20 next year.

In the meantime, no matter what the next two debates bring, at least we know the memes will be good.
