Netizens rallied on social media platforms to urge Melania Trump and Jill Biden to engage in a debate. The discussions come realizing that the presidential debate will start in the next few days.
The noise on Twitter began when the editor-at-large of Daily Beast, Molly Jong-Fast shipped the idea to her over 700,000 followers, according to the Daily News. She said that the former Second Lady should debate the incumbent First Lady as their husbands will soon engage in one.
Omg @DrBiden should debate Melania Trump. — Molly Jong-Fast (@MollyJongFast) September 27, 2020
Several individuals immediately chimed in and shared their respective thoughts about the "obvious" winner of the event. The majority conceded that the "First Ladies Debate" would be a "huge mismatch."
The publication recalled that Melania Trump, who turned 50 earlier this year, previously claimed that she graduated from the University of Ljubljana, in Slovenia. However, recent reports suggested that she only enrolled in a few classes in one year.
Meanwhile, her counterpart for the imagined event, Jill Biden, has two master's degrees. She, also, holds a doctoral degree from the University of Delaware.
Based on their educational credentials, many netizens agreed that Joe Biden's wife would win on paper. Popular social media personality Majid Padella even said that the "she-bate" would be over before it begins.
Dr. Jill Biden would easily wipe the floor with Melania trump in a debate, not even close. — BrooklynDad_Defiant! (@mmpadellan) September 28, 2020
Some netizens on Twitter expressed their concerns for Melania Trump. Several of them stated that the event would be "patently unfair" considering that the First Lady is not fluent in English.
In response to the concern, many individuals suggested that the "debate" should allow Melania to use her native language, Slovenian, adding that a translator would be present, as well, to translate her rebuttals.
The discussion over her language fluency seemingly sparked the talks about her claims being fluent in five languages. Donald Trump's wife previously said that she speaks fluently in Italian, German, French, English, and Slovenian.
However, several reports as of late concluded that the claims are untrue. Sources noted various instances when Melania could not, allegedly, understand some of these languages.
Aside from Twitter, netizens on Reddit, also, made a full discussion about the "First Ladies Debate." Just like on the other platforms, Redditors believe that Jill Biden would easily "wipe the floor."
Some of the users continued that the match would be "cruel" and "mean," especially for Melania Trump. They explained that the former Second Lady is a professor and a graduate, while the "one inside the White House" is not.
Others, also, called the First Lady names. Several individuals agreed that she is a "mail-ordered bride," and that the event would not work.
