Trump went directly after Biden's personal character, calling him "weak" and little respected by global leaders who were "laughing" at him.He tried to accuse Biden of corruption, dubbing the president as a "Manchurian candidate" who was "paid by China," a nod to frequent accusations of undue influence for which there is no evidence. He directly blamed Biden for a wave of immigrants "coming in and killing our citizens at a level we've never" seen, a hyperbolic claim that is not backed up by statistics.
