Besides Trump not having a plan, not knowing how not to lie, and they usually everything has to be about him, but he takes no responsibility projecting BS he is always about, there's no fucking that fat ass is only 244 pounds. He is easily 300+. My god he looks like his suit was overstuffed and the 3 chins he has on his profile, no way.
So Trump...just read it.
Bolded for emphasis."More and more people are getting better," Trump said. "We have a problem that's a worldwide problem. This is a worldwide problem. But I've been congratulated by the heads of many countries on what we've been able to do ... It will go away and as I say, we're rounding the turn. We're rounding the corner. It's going away."
Trump later disputed warnings by public health officials in his administration that the virus would see a resurgence in the winter, claiming: "We're not going to have a dark winter at all. We're opening up our country."
Biden responded: "Anyone responsible for that many deaths should not remain as president of the United States of America."
"What I would do is make sure we have everyone encouraged to wear a mask all the time. I would make sure we move in the direction of rapid testing, investing in rapid testing."
"I would make sure that we set up national standards as to how to open up schools and open up businesses so they can be safe and give them the wherewithal, the financial resources, to be able to do that."
Biden and Trump are living in two different pandemic realities, but Biden's is the only one supported by health experts.
Well he spoke more directly to his base, he used the kind of language effective with his base many of whom hate politicians and don't trust government. He Brilliantly put himself as a one of us vs a one of them kind of guy and I think it will resonate how much we will find out on Monday.

Was it a slip-up? Trump had just got finished saying he was the least racist person in the entire room. Seems like calling him Lincoln was a pretty good dig. Especially since Republicans are constantly excusing their blatant racism by claiming that they're the "party of Lincoln."
It's largely the statement on: if we can ignore one's past then who gives a shit. The president tries to bring up Biden's failures as the VP (even though some of those burdens were on the president at the time) then we can bring up his own failures as president. If we can't, then vice-versa. It's stupid. It's do what I say not what I do.
Resonate with his base. Only his base. Not sure if you have been paying attention for the last year or so, but non core republican voters do not like Trumps shtick. They are turned off by him greatly. There is a reason there are many 400+EC landslides predicted, becasue the numbers are showing how much support Trump has lost since 2017.
Okay, but that isn't a net gain. You said his performance would give him a boost, but he already had the support of his base...his goal tonight was to win others over. It's the only way he is going to have a chance at this thing. What did he do to win over the undecideds? Or sway anyone away from Biden?

"Windmills kill birds!"
You know what kills a fucking shit ton more birds than windmills? Skyscrapers. You know what Trump owns? Skyscrapers.
Trump is a bird murderer!
