What do ya'll think? On one hand, I think him getting muted would make him look weak. On the other, I think the debates generally end up helping Trump much more than they hurt him as I think his base needs to see him fight an enemy to get really kicked into gear.
A debate with a mute button is the final form of the American Presidential "Debate" - two people standing kinda near each other having entirely separate conversations with themselves to pander to their particular base. Both will lie; nothing matters.
I too am incapable of responding to a lie in any way other than screaming over the other person. Having to wait two minutes for my turn to speak makes it literally impossible to call out falsehoods. This is why debates are currently so truthful 🤡
