Donald Trump on Thursday accused US President Joe Biden of siding with Palestinians in the brutal Gaza conflict for allegedly refusing to help Israel "finish the job" in the war against Hamas.
"He doesn't want to do it. He's become like a Palestinian -- but they don't like him because he's a very bad Palestinian, he's a weak one," Trump said during their presidential debate at CNN headquarters in Atlanta.
According to AFP, Trump's many invectives and sarcasm targeting the Democratic president were met with laughter and shouts of approval, while Biden's every hesitation and throat-clearing was a moment of triumph for most.
Republican supporters were reveling in sharing public space around politics in San Francisco.
"Did Trump win?" asked a beaming John Dennis, the party chairman for the Californian city.
"I was afraid Trump would be too aggressive from the start, but he did very well," he told AFP.
"You just have to give someone enough rope to hang themselves and that's what Trump did with Biden."
