Moderator Chris Wallace had a difficult time keeping the two candidates from talking over each other. At one point, Wallace spoke directly to Trump and asked him to stop interrupting: "Mr. President. Your campaign agreed that both sides would get two-minute answers. Uninterrupted. Well, your side agreed to it. Why don't you observe what your campaign agreed to as a ground rule?"
Biden tries to make a point during the debate. His frustrations with Trump were evident throughout the debate.
“I’ve done more in 47 months – I’ve done more than you’ve done in 47 years,” Trump asserted against Biden.
Trump claimed that “China ate your lunch, Joe” on trade. He questioned Biden’s intelligence and attacked his son, Hunter Biden, and described the longtime centrist Democrat as a “socialist” more than once. Biden described the president as a “clown,” told him to “shut up,” described him as “Putin’s puppy,” and called him the “worst president” in American history.

CNN's Jake Tapper calls first presidential debate a 'hot mess inside a dumpster fire' after Trump, Biden clash
WASHINGTON – The insults, interruptions and chaos that filled the first presidential debate between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden was described as a "s---show" by CNN's Chief Political Correspondent Dana Bash on Tuesday.
Throughout the two-hour debate, Trump and Biden tussled over the economy, the coronavirus pandemic and the Supreme Court vacancy in one of the most chaotic, insult-laden presidential debates in modern history. They both leveled an unending string of personal attacks on each other’s character and judgment that led to constant interruptions as moderator Chris Wallace struggled to keep the candidates on track and from talking over one another.
"That was a hot mess inside a dumpster fire, inside a train wreck," CNN host Jake Tapper said after the debate ended. "That was the worst debate I have ever seen. In fact, it wasn't even a debate. It was a disgrace and it's primarily because of President Trump."
"The American people lost tonight because that was horrific," he added.
'China ate your lunch, Joe': Tump, Biden end insult-filled debate filled with interruption
Debate night: As Trump continues to interrupt during the debate, Biden says, 'Will you shut up, man?'
Bash chimed in and went further.
"You used some high-minded language. I'm just going to say it like it is. That was a s--- show," Bash said, apologizing for "being maybe a little bit crude."
"It's the only phrase that I can think of to really describe it."
True to form, Trump came to the debate prepared to repeatedly attack his Democratic opponent, frequently interrupting and forcing moderator Wallace to note that both candidates agreed to let their counterparts speak.
“I’ve done more in 47 months – I’ve done more than you’ve done in 47 years,” Trump asserted against Biden.

“Under this president, we’ve become weaker, sicker, poorer, more divided and more violent,” Biden said.
