The 17 questions Trump would like to ask Biden, but won’t ask him

The long-awaited Trump-Biden debate was held last night. Clash that saw Trump prevail, but in which Biden did better than what awaited us, after all. Whatever happened, there were going to be 17 questions the current president wanted to ask his opponent.

1. Your son Hunter Biden received a $ 3.5 million wire transfer from a Russian billionaire who was the wife of the former Moscow mayor. He also had a joint bank account with a Chinese citizen who funded $ 100,000 in credit card purchases around the world. It all happened while you were vice president. Why should people linked to the Russian and Chinese governments give your child millions of dollars?
2. You recently said you "started" at Delaware State University, an HBCU, Historically Black College, a school for people of color. The school says they have no record of your participation. What did you specialize in?
3. In June, you said you were reviewing your potential Supreme Court choices and promised you would publish your list. Now you say that you will not release a list of these choices. Why did you go back on your promise?
4. Your running mate Kamala Harris said last year that she was willing to add up to 4 seats on the Supreme Court. Your party also wants to upset the Supreme Court. Do you agree or are you too shy to admit it?
5. In January 2017, you said Democrats shouldn't block President Trump's Supreme Court candidates. You said you believe that the Constitution "requires" the Senate "to give the candidate a hearing and a vote". In 2016 you said that "he would go ahead with the confirmation process" of a Supreme Court candidate "even a few months before a presidential election … just as the Constitution requires." Now you say that the Constitution requires the exact opposite. How do you reconcile things to change?
6. In 2008, you promised Americans that if they made less than $ 250,000 they wouldn't pay an extra penny in tax. You broke that promise and imposed new taxes that directly impacted middle-class Americans. You are now claiming that you will not raise taxes on those who earn more than 400,000. Why should voters believe you now, especially since you said you will restore the individual mandate tax?
7. As vice president, he oversaw the weakest economic recovery since the Great Depression. What would you do different if you were elected?
8. Your plan would raise the US corporate tax rate to a higher level than China's. Won't this make it more expensive for companies to do business in America and ultimately send jobs overseas?
9. On January 31, President Trump imposed travel restrictions from China to combat the spread of the coronavirus. Why did it take two months to say that you supported that decision?
10. In 2008, you and Barack Obama promised to fully fund the federal COPS program, which provides resources to local law enforcement. But funding for this program was cut while you were vice president, despite your promise. Why didn't you keep your word?
11. Earlier this year, your campaign staff donated money to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, an organization that rescued a rioter who shot policemen and other violent criminals and sexual predators from prison. Your running mate Kamala Harris also urged people to donate to that organization and is still raising money for it. Do you forgive him?
12. You say that if you are elected you will push for citizenship to the 11 million undocumented people in our country. Why do you think they should get Medicare and Social Security benefits?
13. When you ran for president in 2007, both you and Obama pledged to renegotiate NAFTA, a promise you didn't keep when you were in office. You recently blamed Republicans for it, saying they wouldn't accept it, but Democrats controlled Congress in 2009 when the Obama administration announced it wouldn't even try to change NAFTA. So why didn't you keep your word?
14. When you voted to give China "most favored nation" trading status in 2000, you said you did not foresee "the collapse of the US manufacturing economy" for this reason. But according to one estimate, it led to the loss of 1 million manufacturing jobs in the United States. Do you recognize that your vote to give China most favored nation status was a mistake that hurt American workers?
15. The 2009 H1N1 swine flu pandemic infected 60 million Americans when you were vice president and the federal government ran out of its strategic stash of N95 masks in response. A USA Today fact check found that your administration has made no effort to replenish supplies of masks, despite warnings from experts. Do you accept responsibility for that failure, which left America unprepared for another pandemic?
16. Your campaign says it's a "lie" that "the Biden-Harris ticket is the most radically pro-abortion ticket" "in US history." Are there any restrictions on abortion you advocate, and if so, be specific?
17. You said the N word (nigger, negro) 13 times in a 1985 Senate nomination battle, when you mentioned something attributed to someone else. Do you think it was appropriate to do so? Was that the only time you ever said the N word?
