There's no need forJoe to say trump is a crook

Just stating the obvious is sufficient, that he’s lied about his financial genius, lied about his net worth, and lied about always wanting to release his taxes but he just couldn’t. Point out how little he has paid, let people come to their own conclusion that he’s a tax cheat and most likely a criminal. He can just make the point how the tax code allows those who want to stretch the truth the opportunity to do so. But overwhelming everything he is a liar. Let his fan club try to justify that he’s not really a criminal, he doesn’t need to say that, it’s always been obvious to anyone who opens their eyes. The rethugs aren’t going to like that he’s drawn people’s attention to the tax structure in the US

His house of cards is starting to fall. More and more will be coming out.

recommended Biden move past fact-checking and proceed directly to ridicule and mockery. That could be far more effective than playing whack-a-mole with each lie and fabrication. He could make a blanket statement about Trump being a pathological liar, and say that there isn't enough time between now and the sunset of humankind to correct the factual errors.

“Look at this guy— he paid just $750 in taxes. People struggling to get by on $20k a year pay more than that. $750 is not much help for our military (and so on). Yet he the first thing he did in office was to cut taxes for his rich friends. We’ve got to change that so that the wealthy pay their fair share.”

Joe was to stand behind his lectern and not say anything, Just stare at him. I'd lay odds the conman would blurt out some kind of confession in a backwards way.

Then Joe can sigh and say, "What are you doing on this platform?

I think it's the one about Melania speaking five languages fluently.

She's bilingual at best. So four years as First Lady travelling the world and not a single video of her speaking in any of the others exists? That's evidence of absence.

There's just something about that whopper. The gall in thinking you can pull that one over on a country. On the world.
