Pretty much everyone (and his dog) has an opinion with respect to the political dimension of the first US presidential election debate, but why not leave politics aside for a moment and focus on economics? Roughly 15 of 90 minutes were dedicated to the economy and while the first Donald Trump - Joe Biden debate was anything but stellar when it comes to numbers, we were at least able to see where the two candidates stand... if we had the mental fortitude necessary to leave the bickering aside :( Yes, the first US presidential election debate was pretty much a disaster from many perspectives but we have no choice but to work with what we have and in one minute, we'll be doing just that. After watching the video, you'll know (broadly speaking) where Donald Trump stands when it comes to key economics-related issues and the same principle is valid for Joe Biden. I've done my best to put an unbiased analysis on the table and limit myself to highlighting what I consider to be the most important economics-related conclusions after the first Trump - Biden debate... hope you will not be disappointed.
