Mr. Trump tried to `read` his opponent Biden before the direct debate 0
(Dan Tri) – US President Donald Trump’s election campaign is said to be studying Democratic candidate Joe Biden, from words to gestures, to be able to `capture` his opponent during a live debate.

In the first debate in 2016, Republican candidate Donald Trump was said to have had an unimpressive performance.
People in Mr. Trump’s campaign also admitted that his first debate performance was poor compared to Mrs. Clinton’s, according to Politico.
Therefore, Mr. Trump’s campaign and top advisors want to avoid `missteps` this year when he prepares for his first debate with opponent Joe Biden on September 29.
According to sources, Mr. Trump’s campaign team has been carefully studying Mr. Biden’s habits when debating to come up with reasonable policies for him to gain an advantage.
Basically, Mr. Trump’s aides are said to be trying to get Mr. Biden to make incoherent and inadequate statements, to highlight Mr. Trump’s criticisms of Mr. Biden’s advanced age.
In 2012, Mr. Biden, then Vice President under Mr. Barack Obama, was considered to have had an effective debate against his Republican opponent Paul Ryan.
Therefore, Mr. Trump’s team repeatedly watched Mr. Biden’s performances and tried to find signs of `loopholes`, such as the fact that Mr. Biden might try to change the subject or distract people.
Mr. Trump’s campaign has been quietly preparing since the beginning of August. Surveys show that the race to the `hot seat` is still tense in the battleground states of North Carolina, Michigan and Wisconsin, where voters are not yet completely inclined.
A Republican figure close to Mr. Trump told Politico that the US President is easy to learn through observation, so he watched the preparations from his assistants and developed his own debate style.
Experts say the most important debates are careful preparation, and Mr. Trump tends not to like that.
However, observers also say that Mr. Trump’s willingness to say whatever he thinks is also considered an advantage.
