Trump is easier to debate for democrats who don’t care as much about decorum as Biden. A primary debate requires much more delicacy, because you can’t all out attack the others without potentially prejudicing voters against your party’s eventual nominee, should you lose.
Biden did well in the latter scenario, because he’s very good at politicking. I think Harris would do better in the former because of her greater willingness to openly mock trump. Hopefully we get to see.
Surgical amputation with a wound the size of the base of a pinky should physically heal pretty quickly, but a splintered bone break can take months and might require additional surgeries with their own recovery times.
What might take even longer is his adjustment to having nine fingers. I’d be surprised if he maintained the same grip, and he might have other proprioception issues or phantom sensations.
