The Trump Test: Biden Bite Back #108

Donald Trump has been calling out Joe Biden on his mental abilities lately. In a recent Fox News interview, Trump boasted about his scores on a cognitive test and challenged Biden to take the same test. Biden should turn the challenge around.

Biden should prepare a list of 100 questions that the President should know. The questions should not be tricky or hard. Examples are the names of leaders of important countries. Whether certain countries are in NATO or other alliances. Names of cabinet members and what their departments are responsible for. Questions about the US constitution. All questions that Biden and any other politician in Washington should know the answers to off-hand.

Biden should then send the questions to the news media. He should invite them to pick 3-5 random questions from the list to ask Trump the next time he has a news conference. See how many he gets right.

Most likely, when asked a question from the list, Trump will just try to change the subject.

 

“He Doesn’t Care About You”: Biden Bite Back #107

Donald Trump does not wear masks. This should be an easy shot for Joe Biden, but he can’t seem to take it. “Masks are meant to protect others in case you are sick but don’t know it. They show you care about people and want to keep them healthy. Trump’s unmasked face shows that he doesn’t care about about anyone.”

(NOTE: Trump wore a mask in public for the first time the other day when he visited a military hospital. Maybe it was because the doctors told him they would not let him in without a mask. Maybe it was because he was afraid of catching something. Maybe both. But he wasn’t happy about it.)

Donald Trump loves rallies. They get his juices going. Nothing, including Covid-19, will keep him from scheduling more of them. Joe Biden can take advantage of this.

He should send a truck to wherever Trump holds a political gathering. It show up the morning after, or maybe two mornings after. It will be staffed with health professionals and offer free Covid-19 testing for anyone that went to Trump’s rally.

Even if no one shows up for the test, he will be making an effective point. It is the kind of thing Trump would have done if the tables were turned.

Joe Biden is inevitably being asked to comment on Donald Trump and racism. If he is smart, he will keep his mouth shut. When Biden opens his mouth, his foot often finds its way in. If Biden does decide to comment, he would be smart to take a page out of one of our posts last year.

“I can’t tell you whether Trump himself is a racist, but he certainly thinks he has a lot of racist supporters. Why else would he be using all of these white supremacist code words in his tweets? I would urge all Trump supporters that aren’t racists to tell him to knock it off.”

During the election campaign, Donald Trump is sure to accuse Joe Biden (and his son Hunter) of corrupt business dealings. Biden can try to deny and defend, but he would be better off adopting Trump’s tactics: go on the offensive.

“All of the information about me (and Hunter) is public – look at it,” Biden can retort. “But with Trump, who knows where the money behind his projects really comes from? He won’t say. He’s friendly with the Russians. His bankers are being investigated for money laundering. Maybe that’s why he has something to hide.”

Biden Bite Back #102

Donald Trump has nicknames for everyone. Joe Biden is Sleepy Joe. Biden started calling Trump a clown, but one can’t use ‘clown’ all the time.

There is another nickname that Biden could use that would probably irritate Trump more than clown: third grade Donny. As in the guy who engages in third grade name calling. And a president who is not top level or even second level, but third grade.

It is pretty good bet that Trump hates being called Donny as well.

Let’s see if Biden can get creative.

It is likely that Donald Trump or his agents will attack Joe Biden regarding the sexual assault alleged by Tara Reade. Biden’s response is simple: Look, you have over two dozen women accusing you of much worse. Why don’t we hear what they have to say? Oh, you made them sign an NDA? What are you afraid of?
