Trump baits a trap for Biden
By Andrea Widburg

The big news from President Trump’s weekend interview with Fox’s Chris Wallace is that Wallace challenged Trump’s contention that Biden has agreed to defund the police. (Trump is right; Wallace is wrong. Just saying.) What got some press, although not as much, is Trump’s claim that the standard cognitive test he took was “very hard.” Wallace smugly countered this assertion, as did every Democrat. Trump, of course, will have the last laugh because he’s forcing Biden to take the test.

During the interview with Wallace, Trump pushed hard about Biden’s mental competence:

    TRUMP: And you know why I won’t lose, because the country in the end, they’re not going to have a man who – who’s shot. He’s shot, he’s mentally shot. Let him come out of his basement, go around, I’ll make four or five speeches a day, I’ll be interviewed by you, I’ll be interviewed by the worst killers that hate my – my guts. They hate my guts. There’s nothing they can ask me that I won’t give them a proper answer to. Some people will like it, some people won’t like it.

    WALLACE: I agree with that.

    TRUMP: But look –

    WALLACE: You answer the questions.

    TRUMP: Let Biden sit through an interview like this, he’ll be on the ground crying for mommy. He’ll say mommy, mommy, please take me home.

    WALLACE: Well we’ve asked him for an interview, sir.

    TRUMP: He can’t do an interview. He’s incompetent.

And what happens when Biden says, "Sure, Mr. President. I'll take the test like you did, when you release your taxes, like I did?"

Trump is trailing. He's not in a position to force or bait anyone. Until the polls say otherwise, Biden can simply ignore him like Tuberville ignored Sessions.

As long as Shortbus Joe won't sit for an interview, Trump can say whatever the heck he wants to.  I'm sure the Rats will say exactly what you suggest, but it won't change anybody's opinion.

Nothing is sticking to Biden, because it isn't about Biden. It's about Trump.

And why is that?  Couldn't be the 24/7/365 attacks on Trump (and his voters) from the far-left press since 2015, could it?

Every election with an incumbent is a plebiscite on that person, nothing new there.  Bring it.

Well, you are right to laugh at me. Joe Biden is too dumb to play it smart.

But Trump is currently losing. All his actions indicate that he is playing from behind. Biden would love to run out the clock with the old Dean Smith 4 Corners stall ball.

Two things:  Media polls have become so biased and weighted they aren't believable.  Secondly, Trump seems to do his best when he's seen as being behind.

Trump is not trailing.   He is ahead where it counts (Hint: not in those same asinine polls that said Hillary would win).   But nice try and nice dream.   And by all means.... dream on.   We'll wake you on Nov. 4 when it's all over.  We'll even have a cookie for ya.  Promise!

You SHOULD know by now that these for public consumption polls are not to measure opinions. They are designed to DRIVE them.  PURE propaganda!

No.   Thanks to the idiot/radical left... it's about lawlessness (exhibited in DEMOCRAT run/ruined cities and states).... vs. upholding the law as Trump is standing for.   Most Americans want the law enforced and upheld.   And therefore, most Americans will vote accordingly this November.   So gird your loins (as Biden would say).   You're going to have a very bumpy ride for the next four+ years.

And that’s not an exaggeration, either.  Guys like Trump (multi millionaire workaholics) thrive on taking on the challenges and beating the odds.

Ooooh.... a twofer.   Nancy & Chucky?

Somehow, I just don't see Biden being able to utter a complete sentence without sounding like he's not playing with a full deck.

As far as Trump trailing -- according to which poll??  You do realize the inaccuracy of the last several election polls don't you?  Especially all the polls that said the Hillary was going to win.  If most polls are showing that Trump is behind, it is probably a good indicator that he's ahead. 

[Hoodat]

As far as Trump trailing -- according to which poll??

A poll of 853 residents in the 415 area code.

     It's a conservative board and it does little good to dampen spirit. I get that.

     But all y'all are smarter than me and have been following elections longer than me. Forget the polls.
     And I know that Trump is unorthodox, unlike any other politican we'll ever see again. But...
     Is Trump asking for more debates, suddenly bringing back Covid-19 hearings, bringing in a new campaign manager, about facing on promoting mask-wearing, abruptly claiming new healthcare, new immigration, new various other bills (that have 0% chance of passing) are forthcoming, sending Feds into cities without their request, etc. (while his opponent is content to hide in his basement) the actions of a front runner four months before an election?

There is no benefit to "acting like the front runner."  I'd ask Thomas Dewey about that, but he croaked in 1971.

I won't dispute your observations, but I will note they don't appear to be making any difference, which is too bad because if they did, politicians would be a bit more sensitive to their constituents' concerns.

That's not the question you should be asking at this point.   Trump is doing Trump.   The question you might want to ask is...."Is Biden hiding in his basement the actions of a front runner four months before an election?".   And the obvious (duh) answer is....

a resounding NO.

See, I'd say, "Yes."
Such a person (or better yet, his advisers) is confident that he doesn't need to further make his case.

Yah, but....your question doesn't throw a wet blanket on conservatives.  It's much more fun to pick apart Donald Trump.

Well.... then..... with all due respect......

I'm going to heartily agree with your comment ....

But all y'all are smarter than me

 

What kind of moron would 'want' a president that hides in his basement.  (rhetorical question since the answer is obviously a leftist moron).

[XenaLee]

Yeah, and just keep picking.... since the more the idiots pick, the stronger and more resolved he (and we) become.

In Biden's case, it can also mean his campaign staff is NOT confident he won't do something stupid to ruin what chance he has.  He is truly a real-life Chauncey Gardner.
