She claimed Trump would have lost points for his red face.

“Biden would have won it on points in my book, but this scrappy, angry, insult-trading, two hour row was probably exactly what the US and the rest of the world didn’t want to see in terms of non-verbal signals of strong, wise leadership during a time of crisis, and in the end the wives looked very much like two mums picking their brawling kids up from the school gate,” Judi said.

She said: “Clearly keen to dispel his ‘Sleepy Joe’ nickname that Trump’s team have given him, Biden shot out to his lectern looking lean and relatively fresh to stand upright with what looked like confidence and enthusiasm as the rather heavy and less energetic-looking President made his own way across the stage.”

Judi claimed Donald lost out of being able to use his handshake, a formidable weapon in his arsenal.
