Who should get elected, Biden, or Trump?
Hello, I am protective_dusk, and I am discussing whether we should vote for Trump or Biden. I personally think Biden should get elected because I think he would run the country well, and make America a happy place. Donald Trump first...
Donald Trump is the president of the USA at the moment, and he was a very successful buisnessman. He has been president of the USA for nearly four years, and he is the 45th president of the USA. Donald Trump is younger than Biden, so he would probably be better at discussing issues, and thinking. He also has a net worth of 3.1 billion, so he would have more power than Biden, and he could get more votes because of his extreme wealth. Some people think he is making America more happy, and some people think he is not. There are debates on whether he should stay as president or not. He is Christian, and he was a TV star too. So in the end, I think it is quite tricky for Biden to stand up against Trump.
Joe Biden is the opposition candidate of Donald Trump. He was Vice-President of the USA, and he is a life-long politician. He is 77, so he is older than Trump by three years. He is Catholic, and it is his 3rd time trying for president. I think people would like him to be president because some people think Trump had commited a crime, and he didn't help poor people who are suffering in other countries. In my opinion, I think Biden would be a better president for America than Trump, because he would probably make America more happy than Trump did. Biden's net worth is less than Donald Trump's, but he still has a good amount of power too try and win against Trump in this coming November.
Thank you for reading my post!

Thanks for this informative post, protective_dusk, and for giving your opinion having weighed up both sides. Is it accurate to say Donald Trump would be better at discussing issues and thinking, just because he is younger? Also, it's important to remember that just because someone has money doesn't necessarily make them more powerful as a president or a campaigner, as they have to obey strict laws on how they pay for things.

I think Mr.Biden should get elected because as he is 77 years of age he will have more experience and Mr. Trump should not get 'votes for money'
I disagree with you because he would be closer to the age that roughly most people die so Donald Trump would have little bit longer to be president but then again, Biden hasn't been voted in before so we don't know if he is better than Donald Trump
I respect your opinion but Biden has been Vice President before does that change your opinion?
i like what you said but no it doesnt
Can you say why, eager_chocolate?
Just because Trump has billions of dollars he shouldn't get votes for money as it is dishonest
I agree with you reliable_cello!!

I think mr Biden because he would run the country well and be better at discussing stuff. He's 77 he is 3 years older than Trump and run the country very well. He will try and make America as good as it can be. It doesn't matter if trumps richer, because money doesn't buy happiness but Biden still has about 9 million dollars. So I think Biden.
07 Sep 2020
I think Biden should be president because Trump has promised a lot of things like to keep coal mines open so people will keep there jobs but later on he closes them so he is not trust worthy.
I personally agree with this comment, Trump has promised a lot of things but sometimes he has not told the truth. Good comment.

Trump should be re elected because we need the younger generation
That's an interesting comment, excited_banana - thank you for that. Given that Trump is only 3 years younger than Biden, there's a slight age difference but not enough to call it a generation gap. However, do you think the age of Trump and Biden's running mates are important (Mike Pence - 61 years old and Kamala Harris - 55 years old)?
07 Sep 2020
I think Biden because he will make America a safe and happy place
07 Sep 2020
Well I think Donald Trump should get elected again because although he hasn't actually done what he's said by building a wall but he has got quite a lot of experience, as before being a president he has also been a business owner. Now I know that's not the same thing but he has been president for 4 years already
07 Sep 2020
I agree with you! We I think Biden should be presandent because Donald trump in my opinion has not really made good desitions and he should step down . and I think that Biden has got a good degree , and it is time for some one else to be presandendt in America.
07 Sep 2020
I think that Biden should be president because he may be older but I think he would be a bit more sensible with what he says to. With Donald trump telling the country what to do when we were going in to lock down he was acting all naive about civid 19 coming to America and now America has had a lot of cases. Furthermore, Donald trump also said that in America they should inject everyone with antiseptic. I think he was just joking as he was clever at school but I don't think he takes is job seriously enough even though he is encharge of the whole of North America and it's a very big country. Whereas I think joe Biden might be a bit for suitable for the job and will take his rule more seriously. Although I think that Sonald trump will have an advantage because he has millions and millions of pound to fund his campaign whereas Joe Biden only has 100,000 so Donald trump will be able to spend a lot of money whereas Joe Biden won't be able to spend as much.
In conclusion I think Joe Biden should be president as I think he is more suitable for the job.
07 Sep 2020
Well in the past Donald Trump has made some good changes and new beginnings but Joe Biden is 3 years older than Donald trump and some times thinks can go a bit wrong .
07 Sep 2020
I think it should be Joe Biden because he had a degree in politics so he would do good and he had been Vice President once.
07 Sep 2020
I think Donald Trump should win beacause Trump is a very wealthy man and makes good decisions and also keeps promises.
Can you give evidence for your claim, outgoing_bat?
Why does being wealthy make someone a good president?
Also, I agree with resourceful_lime because he doesn't keep his promises and I don't think he does make good decisions - he said he doesn't believe corona virus would be that serious and now America has the highest number of cases in the world!!! He also doesn't believe in climate change!!😂😂
07 Sep 2020
This is a great post, protective_dusk, we'll done!
Thank you reflective_artic_fox!
07 Sep 2020
I think that Biden would be a better president than Trump, because of the other jobs that he had. His other jobs would be useful to him because they would of given him some experience for being president. I also think that it would be nice to have a different president than Trump , and see what sort of chooses he makes and see if they are better or worse than Trump's choices . I think that Trumps jobs that he had before being president were not very useful to have had. For instance , having had a job as a t.v star would not be very useful to him and Biden had jobs like being a lawyer which would be useful.
07 Sep 2020
In my opinion I think Biden should win because Trump is not a good role model, he never helped the poor and homeless people and I think he is obsessed with money, also at the start of lockdown he said something about drinking a whole bottle of Detol which 1 would kill you and 2 it's something that someone actually probably would do just because Trump said that and that is not what a good role model would say, I think Biden would be a good President and his Vice President is a woman of colour which is really good!
Hi enterprising_night, thanks for your comment! I edited it very slightly to ensure that it described Biden's running-mate correctly.
I agree with you because during lockdown Trump did do some silly stuff and I think that Biden might be a little better.

I think it should be Biden wow gets electid
Just because you don’t like Donald Trump you shouldn’t judge. They are both as bad as each other. How? people might ask it’s because they both are after something specific and that is to become president. Do you think they won’t break the rules or buy their way to the top? Well they are wrong they know it’s for show so they try their best to cover up their records and try to look the best they can. One of the ways Joe Biden did it was by making it look like he believed in changes and had a girl as a Vice President not a man but Donald Trump stayed in the old American way. But we don’t know who will win the election because we can’t vote so we can only wait and see.
Thanks for reading,
empathetic_brain😊
What do you mean by "the old American way?" empathetic_brain?
What I mean is that he's still sticking to the men only restriction and that as Vice Presidents have to be white skin coloured. He's still sticking to the old American laws and rules not ready for a change.
Hi empathetic_brain, could you show me where you learnt about the "old American laws and rules"? I'm not sure there was a law about Vice Presidents' gender or skin colour?

I think Biden should be elected as we have given Trump a chance and has not delivered to the people . He dose not deserve a second chance . These are 3 reasons Trump should not be president AGAIN . Reason one - He had no impact on global warming. He acted as if nothing was happening. However scientists and the news said otherwise. Reason 2 - I think along with a load of other people that he let the US out early of lockdown which caused another big spike of coronavirus. The reason being he was only thinking of the economy. Last but not least he let black lives matter with nearly any interference a man was killed because of his colour. He did not interfere with cause loads of racism in protests with out interfering.
Joe Biden has had previous experience as he was a vp for Brarack Obama. He also has promised to return to world cooperation which is basically working with the world not against
But in my opinion they are as bad as each other? What do you think?
true
Yeah but can you give me some reasons?
Empathetic_Brain my reasons are obvious . trump is usual lying trump, he said he would open the coal mines but after 1 or more years he closed them down again and he said he would make ''America great again'' and if we're being honest he didn't achieve what he set out to do. And for joe Biden he is still the better one but he steals lots of quotations from political greats like JFK and if that's happening then how will he guide his country without any fresh ideas. please tell me if you disagree
Can you give us an example of a quote you think Joe Biden has "stolen"? And did he tell listeners it was from JFK - and does this make any difference?
when I said JFK I made a silly mistake it said Ronald Regan and for some reason I wrote JFK. The quote was “We can define America simply in one word: ‘Possibilities.’ Possibilities. Let me say it again; possibilities. That’s America.” and when he said it coincidently there was somebody called Ken who was the speechwriter of Regan and remembered it from his speech. And to answer the second question no he didn't give Regan any mention or praise. I think it is important because if you're going to lead a country you need to be able to think of resolutions to a crisis like now.:-]
But are you sure wars won’t start again if they have biden? It will affect all of us only trump hasn’t gone to war as president but the other presidents did.
Could you show some evidence for your comment "only Trump hasn't gone to war as president but the other presidents did"? I'm not sure that all of the other presidents have declared war during their presidency.
No I don’t think all the presidents went to war but mostly yes, they didn’t really declare war but made alliances or went to war for the goods like most countries did in that time and I feel like Hillary and Biden would be worse than trump as the president it’s what I think is a gut feeling.
I disagree because Donald Trump is really upsetting the economy and because of this evidence I think he can start wars so I still think Biden is still the better president. Please try to convince me. :-]

I think Joe Biden should be elected because trump has promised a lot of things and never stuck to then
Can you give some examples of this, humorous_language?
Hi humorous_language i agree with you Trump did promise a lot of things but also he never opened up the coal mines even though he said to but also he said he was going to "Make America great again" but i don't think that he will all he has done is....try to ban social media.......build a wall [i mean come on Trump]......nothing else nothing that means "Great America".

I think Biden should run
Biden is running in the election for presidency. Do you mean, you think Biden should become president?
Yes I do
09 Sep 2020
Thank you protective_dusk this post was very interesting I think that Joe Biden would be better at President of America even though he is older he was a loyer and he has better experience with politics because he was a Vice President before and Donald Trump has made his profile pic as mean and a angry person by trying to ban Social Meadia and we love social media just because Twitter was truthful doesn't mean he can Ban it. That is what I think.
What do you mean by "profile pic" blessed_tradition?
09 Sep 2020
I see your point as it does help to have a lot of money but in my opinion I think it doesn't just matter about wealth but things like respect , good ideas and things like that
09 Sep 2020
I am very interested in Bidens approach to the American Election and what he will do for America in the future but trust me if Trump gets elected again I will be very very disappointed because I didn't really like Trump very much so I would probably prefer Biden to win the American Election.
It's great that you are interested, blissful_effort! Could you explain why you didn't like Trump by adding some reasons?
I didn't really like Trump because I think he did some very stupid stuff yes he prevented a war but he nearly started that war he wanted to build a wall that was already there yes it was nearly destroyed but he just really fixed it that wil probably what people remember him by in the future.
09 Sep 2020
I like your option but Biden could not be very good and Donald could be better and I think you should look on both sides
09 Sep 2020
I hope Biden wins because Donald Trump has promised to do things that he has not done.
Can you give some examples, funny_meteor?
09 Sep 2020
He said he would build 12 hospitals and he has not.
09 Sep 2020
Protective_dusk I really enjoyed reading your post I agree with you I hope Biden wins. Even though Donald Trump is younger I'm not sure as he would be better. If you're older doesn't that mean that you're more experienced and skilled.I am not really sure who would be better they might both be good they might both be bad I still think you did really well 😃
Thanks for reading

I think that Biden might win because he's 50 Trumps 42. Voters in America have until the 3rd of November to decide Biden or Trump. Trump the republican president is being challenged by challenged by democratic leader Joe Biden who is best known for being Barack Obama's Vice President but has been involved in US politics since the 1970's.
10 Sep 2020
I liked your post but Biden has a better chance due to the fact that Trump has not kept some of his promises and lost some peoples trust
10 Sep 2020
It think what makes a good president is wealth good ideas and people who like them
10 Sep 2020
If you have a look at biden's previous jobs he has been a lawyer,politician and a Vice President and Donald trump has been a business owner,TV star and a president. So in conclusion I think that because Biden has had more experience in politics so I think that he should be the new president of the U.S
10 Sep 2020
I think Biden should be president. Donald Trump has already failed to deliver to the people. He said that he would keep the mines open till the end of his presidency if he was elected. A few months after being elected he shut down the coal mines. This was not very good for his reputation. He hasn't done anything good about covid19 if anything he has just made it worse.
Thanks for reading
10 Sep 2020
I think trump because he has more experience and is the current president
10 Sep 2020
Go Trump because he has more experience as president
10 Sep 2020
Does being really affect how good you are at discussions though? If your interested about that there is a post (not made by me ) about it
10 Sep 2020
What I mean Katie is that he set it as as mean and angry so that is what he appears as in England
14 Sep 2020
reliable_cello although Donald trump is younger I still think Biden has the edge because let's be real Donald has not been great in his time at the helm as president of the USA. But anything can happen with Trumps money to be exact 3.1billion dollars. does anybody disagree, reply to me if you do.
Could you explain why you think the money would make a difference, consistent_starfruit?
15 Sep 2020
I agree but I don't think money should matter it should only matter who is the better candidate and after all Joe Biden was a lawyer but Donald Trump was a business owner being a lawyer would give you a good understanding of justice but being a business owner would have put him in a position of power so it depends what you think is more important an understanding of justice or power.
15 Sep 2020
I think that Mr Biden would make a better president because he is a a very delightful man an I think that he has made good choices.
15 Sep 2020
I think Joe Biden should win the election because Mr Biden is going to chop the wall down and plans to end the ban of people travelling to America from countries where most Muslims are from.
15 Sep 2020
I think it's quite hard to say who would be a better president. Although Trump is younger than Joe doesn't nessarly mean he will be a better president and he is only three years younger which isn't really much but I think that we should give Joe a go as Trump didn't really help America and didn't make it great again.
Hello sincere_atom! You say "Trump didn't really help America and didn't make it great again" but could you give some examples of what you mean? Do you think all American people would agree with you?
Well Trump said that he wanted to make America great again which was meaning to make America rasict-free for example but I heard on the the news that HE was rasict himself.
15 Sep 2020
He said he would open the coal mines and after one or more years he shut them again
18 Sep 2020
Donald Trump should be elected as you said and he also said that he will give the states to decide about there education to.
18 Sep 2020
I think that Joe Biden should be elected as president because he he is fair and will take down the wall that is keeping people traveling from other countries to America with most Muslims
The wall is not what is preventing people from majority-Muslim countries from travelling to America. That's a travel ban that Donald Trump imposed. You can read more about it here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-39044403
18 Sep 2020
I think Biden would make a better leader but trump has more experience.
What makes you say this, buzzing_morning? Although Donald Trump has been president for nearly four years, many see Joe Biden as having more experience as he has been involved in politics for several decades and was vice-president for eight years under Barack Obama. Another question is - do you think experience is important in running a country?
I agree
25 Sep 2020
I love this information I agree with this thank you
Can you say why, helpful_heart?
Why do you agree with this?
25 Sep 2020
I really liked this post and I thought that it was very interesting. I agree with you; I think Biden would be America's best choice but I dont really know much about him so Donald Trump might be the better choice.
25 Sep 2020
I think that joe Biden should get elected because he has good plans for America.
Education
Joe biden wants to pay teachers more money to buy new resources. He wants also want to make university free for some students and he has a 750 billion plan to improve education and make it more affordable.
Education
Donald trump wants the government to be less involved with the schools so that states can make decisions individually. He will also continue with financial support for students so they can afford to go to university.
Economy
Joe biden want to make jobs in manufacturing and technology. He wants to reduce Americans independence on foreign trade so people will buy American things. He also want to raise the taxes to boost the economy.
Economy
Wants more products to be made in America. He argues with China about trade deals and gives them strict rules. Donald trump wants to cut taxes to boost the economy.
That’s just a few things they both want to change but I think that joe is more into doing it where as Donald is a bit laid back.
25 Sep 2020
I think this post explains a lot about the two campaigners.
