Trump calls Biden 'stupid,' demands apology for challenging him on vaccines
Jeff Mason

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican President Donald Trump, accused by Joe Biden of putting lives at risk in his handling of the coronavirus, on Monday called his Democratic rival “stupid” and demanded an apology for what Trump called anti-vaccine rhetoric.

Trailing in national opinion polls as the U.S. death toll from the virus approaches 190,000, Trump unleashed a broad attack against both the former vice president, his opponent in the Nov. 3 election, and Biden’s running mate, U.S. Senator Kamala Harris.

Trump has said that a vaccine against the virus would be ready in record time, perhaps before the election, raising questions about whether political pressure might result in the deployment of a vaccine before it is safe.

Harris had said she would not trust Trump with a vaccine before the election and Biden, critical of Trump’s response to the virus, has urged Americans to heed the scientists. Critics accuse Trump of undermining scientists during the pandemic.

1. Trump can go shove his apology up his ass!

[Blue Owl]

4. Along with Vladdy's Vacciine!

[StClone]

5. What's so perfectly Trumpian

Is that Joe was attacking Trump not that a vaccine wouldn't work! T-Wrecks torqued the message in attempt to somehow catch the sentiments of his Cult homies-which will not leave him anyway! It's all so stupid and pointless.

17. Problem as it won't fit. He is full from head to stern!

18. Yes, I hear that Hannity and Lindsay Graham are taking up most of the room in there.

2. Trump calls Biden 'stupid,'...

...closing the projection loop for the day.

11. Projection at its weakest.

In this case, it’s just too blatant.

3. Stupid?

From dotard, that's like a huge compliment from an intelligent person.

Apology? Pfffft!

[agingdem]

6. I wouldn't trust the orange imbecile

to give me the right time...no way in hell would I take any kind of medical advice from this moronic buffoon...

7. Today was the Beginning of the End for Donald Trump.

He told enough lies today to keep the media busy for the next week. And it's only going to get more bizarre as we approach election day.

[Baked Potato]

8. Lol Hobby Lobby junk.

[gristy]

9. Demanding an apology? Whut?

MF45 needs to update his playbook. Demanding apologies just shows his age and weaknesses in 2020.

10. Injecting bleach is a sign of a "stable genius" but listening to scientists/science is "stupid"?

Someone stuck a light up Trump's ass and found a bezoar, or so they thought.

Turns out it was a bezoar made up of hair that functioned as his brain.

12. "I think the vaccines can be very dangerous." – DJT

“I think the vaccines can be very dangerous. And, obviously, you know, a lot of people are talking about vaccines with children with respect to autism.”

“But I don’t think I would inject them with all sorts of vaccines that, really, nobody even right now knows if it works with respect to what they’re — what they’re looking at right now, Neil.”

– Donald Trump, April 2009

13. +1

This past August, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump spoke with prominent proponents of the discredited link between vaccines and autism, including disbarred British physician Andrew Wakefield, at a fundraiser in Florida.

Trump chatted with a group of donors that included four antivaccine activists for 45 minutes, according to accounts of the meeting, and promised to watch Vaxxed, an antivaccine documentary produced by Wakefield, the senior author of a now retracted 1998 Lancet study linking autism to the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine. Trump also expressed an interest in holding future meetings with the activists, according to participants.

14. "Stupid" is such a childish word.

It's literally one of the words you try and keep out of your toddlers nomenclature when you're teaching them language because it's a child bully's common weapon.

[littlemissmartypants]

15. Ladies and gentlemen we have officially entered the name calling portion of the campaign.

Apparently that's as sophisticated as it gets in Trumplandia.

GOTV!

16. Trump should apologize for destroying our trust in institutions by appointing hacks.

19. Biden' nonverbal response: giving him the bird! "Common man" go to the mattresses

already. Honestly, I want Biden to just say fuck you donthecon and be done with it --shock the mierda out of him, republicans / faux news for once bc for over three fucking year it's been once outlandish, vulgar thing after another from the jerk in WH. He won't stop, bullies never do-'unless you get in the mud with him; sling his mierda right back at him.

This when they go low we go high is mierda..didn't work in 2016, won't work in 2020 bc were not in Shangri-laObama [era of the Obamas ] a time when we could have nice thwings, say nice things, do nice thing for people, environment; share our wealth, knowledge --now we have fucking pandemic that is killing people here and around the world and moron in WH thinks we can ignore it, wish it away. Anyway #gotothemattressesjoe

20. If it is a truly safe vaccine, then let his MAGA's be the first.

[Proximate Centurion]

21. Now THAT's Rich, Donny, Richer Than YOU'LL Ever Be!

But I don't want an apology from you. Just seeing you and Barr, having been convicted of treason, staring down the wrong side of a firing squad will suffice.

[smirkymonkey]

22. His projection is off the charts lately.

Honestly, every statement that comes out of his mouth is accusing others of things that he has done or that he is. He is going down fast. I really wonder if he can last another two months. His own sickness is eating him alive.
