Trump vs. Biden: Psychology Explains Who Actually Won the Debate

On September 29th, we witnessed the first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Personally, I had no plan to watch this debate, and I was actually going to watch American Horror Story: Coven with my lovely girlfriend, Tristin, but she had to go out. So, like millions of others around the world, I endured the debate, and it was more of a mess than any of us expected.

Trump’s lack of maturity and emotional regulation caused him to interrupt Biden at every turn, and Chris Wallace was forced to stop the president on numerous occasions. In my opinion, Biden’s one goal should have been to keep his cool to really highlight Trump’s lack of candor, but Biden failed miserably at this.

But, the focus of this video isn’t to share my opinions about how each candidate did or to fact check each of their statements. I’m more fascinated with how each side perceived the debate and who won. Although I’m liberal, I find it a good practice to follow right-wing media to not only see how their side thinks, but even though I disagree with their ideology, they’re more likely to call out factors my biases may miss on the left. So, since the debate, I’ve seen both the right and the left share their opinions on who won and who lost the debate, and it’s been fascinating.
