Biden Reminds Trump Who’s Prez When POTUS Blames Him For Not Issuing Mask Mandate

Democratic president candidate Joe Biden had a reminder for President Donald Trump on Tuesday night after the president bizarrely attacked him during a town hall for not somehow implementing a national mask mandate amid COVID-19.

Well, if that is the case Mr. President, then blame me, too. After all, I am not the president either.

I kinda’ hope that Trump has many more of these town halls before election day.

My guess is that was his last. I’m surprised the campaign convinced him to hold one - not exactly his forte as he showed last night.

If displacing responsibility onto Biden doesn’t work, Donnie’s in trouble.
It’s just about all he’s got in his tool box.

He has to blame someone for his shortcomings and bad decisions and Biden is his opponent, so it’s Biden’s fault. What a lizardbrain.

Stop reporting and airing his lies.
Start reporting when he tells the truth so we never have to see him.

I didn’t see this but he’s not really getting high marks for this performance. He said the pandemic would go away because of “herd mentality.” It’s becoming ever clearer he can’t exist outside his bubble of unreality. Four years ago, he seemed to understand the principle behind turning an attack back on the attacker. Now he just does it mindlessly, as a pure I’m-rubber-you’re-glue thing. I did wonder whether he could campaign effectively any more but I’m beginning to make up my mind on that.

I suspect this will have been the last one. Fox already in damage control mode calling it an “ambush”.

And Biden is the candidate not suited for the presidency?

Um, how come Stephanopoulos didn’t first remind Trump of something every 6 year-old knows: that Trump is president and that Biden currently possesses no official authority to issue orders?

Simply to say that Biden “called on” the governors to do X or Y just plays into Trump’s narrative that Biden was somehow in a position to make X or Y happen.

That’s what they’re going with. But Trump is now saying he’s taking performance enhancing drugs that help him sound coherent and how is that even fair?

That will come in handy any time he’s asked a question by someone not from OANN or ONAN or whatever it is.

This screw-up by Biden still pales in comparison to Obama’s mishandling of the Katrina disaster. Just sayin’…

Height of stupidity.
Trump supporters protesting mask mandates are using the words " I can’t breathe".
