President Joe Biden’s aides are training him to “trigger” former President Donald Trump when they meet on the debate stage Thursday, three people familiar with the debate prep told NBC News.
Biden and several of his White House and campaign aides have gone to Camp David in Maryland for the week in an effort to prepare the president for the first general presidential debate set to air on CNN on Thursday and be moderated by the station’s own Dana Bash and Jake Tapper.
While secluded in Camp David, aides are prepping Biden to face all sorts of Trump tactics while preparing the president to make an attempt to get under his opponent’s skin by hurling insults and attacks, sources told NBC News.
