Donald Trump has accused Joe Biden of “not knowing what he said” as the pair locked horns on the southern border crisis.
The former president said he struggled to follow the comments being made by his successor.
Joe Biden was accused of having a brain freeze by many social media users, and Trump appeared to lean into that.
“I really don’t know what he said there at the end of that sentence”, said Trump.

“I don’t think he knows what he said either.”
Biden offered no response and instead glared back at his opponent appearing baffled by the remark.

It was not the first shaky moment suffered by Biden during the debate, as he appeared to suffer a brain freeze in the early stages of the debate.
Biden was commenting on the contribution made by billionaires on taxes and on childcare.
“If we finally beat Medicare”, he said, before being interrupted by host Jake Tapper.
“He did beat Medicare. He beat it to death”, Trump chimed in. “He’s destroying Medicare.”
Trump also accused Biden of nearly “wiping out” social security because of the “millions” of migrants at the southern border.
“What’s happened to our country is not to be believed”, he added.
The pair went on to discuss national debt soaring to record heights in the last eight years.
Trump continued to champion tax cuts he made under his leadership, saying they “spurred the greatest economy that we’ve seen”.
He added that when taxes are cut, the US took more in revenue and companies were as a result investing “trillions of dollars” back into the country.
