US presidential candidate Joe Biden may have done the party’s latest stunt to fool current US President Donald Trump while cunningly attacking him regarding his alleged tax evasion.
On Tuesday, Biden questioned the eventuality of Trump ever showing his tax returns to the world, despite repeated promises by the latter through debate that he would. “You will be able to see it (tax returns), Trump said repeatedly, to which Biden responded,” When? Inshallah “.
The use of the phrase generated a lot of laughter on social media with many netizens, especially Muslims and Arab Americans who reacted to the now-viral video with joy. “Did Biden just drop an Inshallah?” One user wrote, while another said, “The Arabs have finally arrived.”

But understandably, not everyone understood Biden’s sneaky use of the word. In fact, while “Inshallah” had a huge trend on Twitter, many Americans turned to Google to find out the actual meaning of the phrase.
“What is Inshallah?” “What is the definition of Inshallah?” “What does Inshallah mean?”
Interestingly, the main Google search in the United States ended up being “sarcastic Inshallah,” that is, if Biden used the phrase as a sarcastic mockery.
Biden dropping “Inshallah” into the debate became the moment on Twitter.

Previously, an explosive report from The New York Times stated that Trump paid just $ 750 in income taxes in 2016, the year he ran for president, and in 2017, his first year in the White House. During Tuesday’s presidential debate, Biden focused on the tax controversy as his main attack on POTUS.
