Biden Takes Trump's Favorite Line Of Attack, And Fires It Right Back At Him

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden turned the tables on President Donald Trump when it came to a favorite Republican attack line.

Trump has questioned Biden’s mental fitness, claiming he’s “not all there” and “mentally shot.” His reelection campaign has been busted for using doctored images and deceptively edited videos to feed that narrative.

But when asked about his mental fitness by a reporter in North Carolina, Biden turned it around by reciting a list of some of Trump’s famous mental gaffes and lapses.

“Look at him,” Biden told WRAL’s Cullen Browder earlier this week. “I’m not the guy who by the way said the problem with the Revolutionary War is we didn’t have enough airports. I’m not the guy who said the attack that took down the trade towers was on 7-Eleven.”

And, Biden added, he’s not the guy who advised injecting bleach to treat the coronavirus.

1. That's called -

clapback, jack!

Ha

[lame54]

20. He Corn-Popped him

[2naSalit]

28. Haha!

That's what I was thinking. He knows how to deal with bullies.

[Cha]

31. Real hard.. the way to do it. trump has thousands

of "Clapbacks".. he Projects all his attacks on to others.

[world wide wally]

2. He can also add "Person, woman, man. camera, tv"

[gratuitous]

11. Something for Biden to try at the debate

At some point, Trump's going to be champing at the bit to talk. Biden could end his remarks with the word "person," with a slight emphasis, and see if Trump doesn't click into his "person, woman, man" recital. Could be a hoot.

[dickthegrouch]

38. Another tactic is baseless speculation.

Trump loves to ask if something might be true, or wonder, baselessly, if it is true.
Biden could do a lot of damage with that, except his musings could all be based on facts about trump’s incompetence.

[Lasher]

41. Argumentum ad populum

A lot of people are saying...I don't know, you tell me.

Everybody knows...or you know very well - when I know no such thing because it's just another lie. Trump hauls out logical fallacies like bottles of snake oil.

[WePurrsevere]

3. Trump attacking Biden's mental fitness is just more projection of his

own issues onto someone else.

Biden's not perfect and, as most humans normally do, he makes an occasional mistake or 'gaff' BUT from what I've been seeing and hearing Biden's still a whole lot more mentally sharp and with it then Trump or any of his kids, even combined.

[Blue Owl]

4. Let him have it, Joe!

[NoRoadUntravelled]

5. Using tRump's strategy against him. That's perfect.

It will be fantastic to use that approach during the debates.

[CloudWatcher]

6. Adderall

And Trump's the guy spewing Adderall out his nose on live TV.

[bucolic_frolic]

7. That is exactly the right medicine

Just keep turning it back in Trump's face.

Biden camp has run a very smart campaign. Biden is not the subject, he hardly makes public appearances, MAGAts can't follow him around and protest. Trump is the issue, the election is a referendum on Trump.

[moonscape]

8. I somehow missed the Revolutionary War one. Wow. n/t

[lunatica]

10. The airports were defended well.

[lagomorph777]

13. Washington Crossing The Beltway

[Wicked Blue]

17. ROFL

[crickets]

12. That's a shame. The letters home from the front were epic. nt

[moonscape]

21. I'm finding some of them now :) This must have been

during one of my news blackouts which I have to do periodically not to sink, because there is no way I would've missed this otherwise!

Hilarious.

[DFW]

30. Not one takeoff or landing was disrupted during the whole conflict

Pretty impressive!

[Cha]

32. yeah, that happened. It's all so surreal but

but trump is That Stupid.

[Dem2theMax]

43. You were probably just distracted by the Bowling Green Massacre.

It's hard to keep up with all of this!

As you are finding out, it's well worth the effort to do a Google search for the letters home from the Revolutionary War front. Twitter had so much fun for a few days!

[yellowdogintexas]

50. the Second Civil War letters are also hysterical

especially the ones about organizing the pot luck picnic

[wnylib]

47. It was in a 4th of July speech last year.

He bragged that the Revolutionary Army had protected the airports from the British. He also mentioned a War of 1812 battle as a turning point in the Revolution.

The twitter responses were hillarious.

One if by land, two if by sea, three if by air.

Etc.

Edit to add: You might find an article on it in a search. I think Huffpost covered it along with the Twitter reaction. Would be worth it just to read the tweets. I nearly fell out of my chair laughing.

[calimary]

54. So did I.

Too busy taking my precautionary Lysol nip...

[DownriverDem]

9. We here already know

that we just have to vote. Early voting (mail in or take it to your City Clerk's office) has started here in Michigan. A law was just passed that will allow the outside envelope to be opened starting election day morning so the ballot can be fed into the machine faster.

[lagomorph777]

14. Glad about the new law! Get those ballots zipping through machines along with in-person ballots

Beat Turd at his own game.

[lunatica]

15. Just so long as it's done in front of witnesses.

I once counted votes for something our union wanted to do. It’s set up like an assembly line with some people just watching while others opened the outside envelopes and then passed the inside enveloped to someone else who opened those and put the ballots in a box. Then another group opened those and counted them. Others watched the proceedings.

[robertpaulsen]

16. That's exactly what Biden should do when Trump brings up Hunter Biden in the debates.

Aside from dismissing it with Ron Johnson's sheepish admission that there will be no October Surprise on "Burismagate", Biden needs to take down the King of Nepotism for half of the GOP primetime convention speakers having the last name Trump.

You've got Eric Trump wimping out on his subpoena, you've got Ivanka Trump in hot water over the Inaugural Committee and the Goya Senate ethics probe.

And where to start with Junior?

Biden needs to keep turning the tables with every Trump attack; he's got more than enough ammo!

[jmowreader]

25. You forgot a big one

The Trump family has a lot of restrictions on it regarding operating charities.

[robertpaulsen]

33. Oh yeah!

Ivanka, Eric and Junior are on the hook for that.

[fierywoman]

34. And after that he could bring up Barr's relatives who work for him.

[George II]

18. 7-Eleven!!! If it wasn't so sad it would be hysterical.

[33taw]

19. And today's entry:

“Right now, a number of state laws allow a baby to be born from his or her mother’s womb in the ninth month. It is wrong. It has to change,”

[Totally Tunsie]

29. LOL - Has he "corrected" this medical situation

in the almost three years* since this comment? What has he done to change this or make it "right"? Does he ever listen to what he himself is saying??

What a moron.


*This was from an appearance on January 19, 2018.

[33taw]

36. I don't know why, but I saw it in about six places today.

[blueinredohio]

22. Good for Joe. It's about time someone called him out.

[malaise]

23. The fun has just begun

You ain't see anything yet!

[Pepsidog]

24. Sure to enrage Benedict Donald.

[oldsoftie]

26. Sad that its come to this, but this is what has to be done when dealing with trump.

You simply HAVE to point out his "lapses" along with everything else.

[fleur-de-lisa]

27. LOL! Earlier this year, I was a little worried that Joe is too nice a guy to go after Dumpus.

Not any more! Get him, Joe!

[zentrum]

35. That's the way to do it.

[TeamPooka]

37. And that's how you do it

[Hassler]

39. Excellent clapback Joe

At a debate, Biden should turn to Chump and say, "Donald, Everything to you is a hoax. You know, one of the signs of dementia is repeating yourself over and over."

[ms liberty]

40. This is exactly the approach we need to take. Go on offense

hit back at his weak points, and his projection tells us what they are. We want him to be off balance and under seige for the next thirty-forty some days, and to have all his inadequacies eating at him daily. Use his own words, and make sure it is comments with accompanying video, preferebly from diverse sources. It should be primarily Joe, with Kamala only getting some of the special zingers because what his base responds to are stong men, and they hate what they perceive as weakness...which includes winning or losing a smackdown contest. (Kamala would energize and piss them off against the uppity...I-won't say-it...woman, ya know? Not what we want to do.) The point is NOT to gain voters - although people are more supportive of candidates that fight back; the point is for the hardcore trumpists to feel disillusioned and demoralized with their dear leader and his cause. We want them to doubt that he isTheir Savior and The One. This is a win-win, IMO; Joe won't lose anyone who is going to vote for him already because he is fighting back against a bully and he will be far classier at it, and anyone who supports Comrade Dumbass might get have an existential crisis and not vote. And he might win some of the fence sitters.

[bdamomma]

44. how tRump

thought Frederick Douglass was still alive.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

45. Would like to see Joe hit Donny with those "L" words he hates the most: Loser, Liar, Lout.

Great to see VP Biden slamming tRump with is own methods and let's hope all of our elected officials do the same!

Pour it on relentlessly until election day and some afterward for good measure.


KY........

[colsohlibgal]

46. Slam!

He should mop the floor with Stupid Orange Hitler redux. All Dumb Donnie can do is lie his huge rear end off. And again, of Fat Donnie lurks behind Joe as he is responding I doubt Joe will let that slide.

It is obvious that Donnie knows he is losing and dreads what might come down on him after. He has been a deadbeat, a tax cheater, and an all around criminal Creep.

I expect him to flee to some place like Brazil if he can after he loses.

[Frustratedlady]

51. Biden is good at "the look" of disbelief. When Trump lies, Joe should simply look at him and say

nothing. The people will know what he's thinking and he can't get criticized for doing so.

I can't believe Trump would have the nerve to follow Biden around the stage, but if he does, Biden should simply stop what he is saying, stare at Trump and ask him if he needs a break to visit the little boy's room.

I'm sure he has come up with a classic line that will clip Trump at the knees. He probably drifts off to sleep at night thinking of all the lines he could use.

[Ilsa]

48. Biden also mentioned that he doesn't have trouble walking down ramps

at commencement ceremonies.

[CousinIT]

49. I think Biden read this:

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/25/opinion/debate-trump-biden-lie.html

[onecent]

52. Very very NICE!!!!

[PatrickforO]

53. That makes me feel so good. The perfect way to answer that question.n/t
