When the top issues on American’s minds are Covid-19 (where is testing and tracing?), massive unemployment, police brutality and racism what is Trump’s response?

SQUIRREL!

“President Obama and Vice President Biden never even tried to fix this during their eight-year period. The reason they didn’t try is because they had no idea how to do it and it is a complex situation.”

Joe just needs to keep asking, “are you better off now than you were four years ago?” Just keep asking that question. Nothing more has to be said.

Actually, Americans want a President who isn’t BFN. They may not be saying it, they may not even know it, but that’s what they want

“Sensing the gravity of this moment in American history, President Trump gave what some are calling his most presidential address on race in America while simultaneously giving his thoughts on the economy, AIDS, and school choice.” The New York Times, probably.

Not long after suggesting now is not the time for the “stoking of fear and division,”

I first read that as “stroking of fear…”

I shouldn’t be okay with that…but I was.

which he said includes banning chokeholds “unless an officer’s life is at risk”

When does a cop applies a chokehold or shoot someone unless their life it’s at risk? Never! Even those guys being shoot in the back were passing lethal farts as they ran…

Bone Spurs believes it’s in his best interests to stoke maximum chaos. That will ensure his base turns out in November and that voters on the fence will give in to their fears. Hope the protestors realize that and stay determined but peaceful. There will be enough false flags causing trouble.

I did not watch it as I did not want to puke one more time, since I assumed that he will have a row of hand picked African Americans kissing his ass while he did his thing, just as what happened a few days ago in the WH.

Did he manage to take a sip of water cleanly this time? Can he walk normally today?

Serious question here.

To believe Trump is a great leader, do you have to first suffer a head injury and cognitive impairment, or does it just help?

Forget the racist literacy tests of the past. Let’s make sure voters are able to put the pegs in the holes.
