The gesture that surprised Trump: Melania removes his hand in full direct and he slaps her
In the debate, several pearls of the US president could also be captured and, above all, the faces with which Biden reacted to Trump's bizarre statements.
The United States and Donald Trump himself have reacted with surprise to the latest gesture by Melania Trump, who has once again snubbed the current leader of the United States in public. The cameras have captured the moment when the American first lady has removed her hand from her husband's at the end of the debate.
With a respectful tone, and without the controversial face to face of the first debate, the candidates, Donald Trump and Joe Biden, have been able to confront ideas this time. But the tycoon continues without losing his particular tone: "We cannot keep this country closed. People are losing their jobs. They are committing suicide."
Nor does Biden waste the situation to hit his rival: "The person responsible for so many deaths can no longer be president of the United States." The image that Melania Trump and her husband starred at the end of the meeting was not the only one that drew the attention of the followers of the debate.

Joe Biden's face said it all when Trump bluntly stated that the United States is "learning to live with the virus" and that they have no choice: "We cannot lock ourselves in a basement, as Joe does." For this reason, he has not hesitated to respond to the current North American leader: "People are learning to die from the virus!"
Nor can the Democratic candidate hide his reaction of surprise at hearing Trump affirm that he has "assumed responsibility" for the management of the coronavirus pandemic in the country. Along these lines, the Republican leader, who was more restrained in this debate, also chose to drop several pearls during the meeting.
"No matter who is in the audience, I am the least racist in this room," he ventured to say, although he could not resist the urge to talk about his immigration policy, including the separation of migrant families at the US borders: " They are very well cared for, they are in facilities that are very clean. " This is how a debate has passed in which the two have accused each other of corruption and there have been half-truths and direct lies.
