The debate organizers, perhaps tired of previous debates sounding like a bad Zoom call with everyone talking at once, decided to introduce a mute button. This means moderators can silence candidates when they get a bit too... enthusiastic. Trump’s camp, never one to shy away from controversy, claims the button is rigged—because, of course, everything is rigged if you’re losing.
Meanwhile, Harris’s team is all for the mute button, likely imagining the blissful sound of silence whenever Trump starts ranting about "fake news" or how windmills cause cancer. The button, however, isn’t just a tool to silence; it’s a weapon in the ongoing war of who can out-yell the other.
Both sides are preparing strategies around the mute button, like it’s a secret weapon. Trump’s team might even pre-record some of his greatest hits to play when he’s muted, while Harris’s side could just nod and smile, knowing their mics are still on.
Ultimately, the debate might be less about policies and more about who can navigate the minefield of mute buttons without turning the event into a one-sided monologue or an awkward silence fest. Whether the mute button will bring order or just add another layer of chaos remains to be seen, but one thing's for sure—this debate is going to be one for the history books, or at least a memorable meme.
