Did Joe pass wind during his terrible presidential debate? Social media launches into fevered speculation over ‘suspicious noise’ as candidates spoke

During last night’s debate, viewers wondered if one of the candidates went on the air when the microphones picked up a “suspicious sound.”

Social media users have speculated feverishly about the sound, with some accusing 81-year-old Joe Biden of blowing wind during his terrible debate performance.

The noise at the center of the social media frenzy came as Donald Trump, 78, accused Biden of profiting from tariffs the former president imposed on China.

Speculation about the source of the “suspicious sound” ranges from one of the contestants farting to one of the moderators taking a sip of water.

Biden delivered a catastrophic showing last night in his first presidential debate against Trump, further calling into question the sitting president’s capacity.

Social media users have been speculating wildly about the sound, with some accusing Joe Biden, 81, of farting during his dreadful debate performance.

The Democrat sounded tired and hoarse, stumbled over his words frequently, and at one point lost the thread of his argument and fell silent. At this point, moderator Jake Tapper stepped in to help him.

While Biden was combative and not afraid to negotiate with Trump, it became painfully clear during the debate that he was simply not capable of taking on his confident and smooth-talking Republican rival.

Biden’s performance during the debate was heavily criticized by members of his own camp. Many Democrats were concerned about the incumbent president’s inadequate capabilities and called for him to be replaced by another candidate.

Biden’s party donors have described his performance as “the worst performance in history.”

During the agonizing 90 minutes of debate, the president frequently lost track, trailed off mid-sentence and jumped from topic to topic, prompting a cacophony of calls from politicians and pundits on both sides of the political spectrum for Biden to resign.

One donor told POLITICO that his performance was “so bad that no one will pay attention to Trump’s lies,” and that “Biden should drop out.” No doubt about it.’

A senior Democratic strategist said: “Biden is about to face a crescendo of calls to step aside. Parties exist to win – this man on stage with Trump cannot win,” in a scathing interview with the New York Times.

The president was apparently hungry after expending his limited mental energy in the stands and then stopped at the fast food restaurant to grab a bite to eat with Jill, only to be confronted by customers about his sad performance.

And former Republican campaign strategist-turned-Democrat Steve Schmidt said, “Biden lost the country tonight, and he won’t get it back. If Trump is a threat and democracy is at stake, then Biden must step aside.”

During the debate, Trump was seen contorting his face in shock and derision at Biden’s confused meanderings and frequent debate blunders, at one point telling millions of Americans watching at home, “I really don’t know what he’s doing.” [Biden] just said. He’s not equipped to be president. You know it and I know it.’

As the debate ended, shocking behind-the-scenes footage emerged showing Biden barely making it off the stage, holding his wife Jill’s hand as he gingerly descended some small steps.

Jill later congratulated him in a chilling scene reminiscent of a mother nursing their young child.

“You answered every question correctly, Joe – you did such a great job answering every question. You knew all the facts!” she said in an almost condescending tone.

“Some are concerned that you are not suitable for the job…do you have any concerns about your performance?” asked a customer.

The president responded, “Well… it’s hard to debate a liar,” claiming that his Republican opponent had told a series of untruths and that he thought he had done a “good job.”

But he was powerless to distract from the reality of his performance — something Trump’s team has gleefully mocked, by all Biden’s mumbling and rambling in a video titled, “Needless to say, the meds didn’t work.”
