Donald Trump’s behavior since former vice president Joe Biden entered the 2020 Democratic primary race has made it clear: He is scared that Biden will be his general election opponent next year.

Trump is so scared, in fact, that his own staff is struggling to keep from talking about Barack Obama’s former VP.

According to Politico, Trump’s son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner has been begging the president to stop getting involved in the Democratic primary and just stay focused on his day job.

go Joe..😎

1. Sounds good for Joe except...

What if this is leaked from the Trump team because they want Joe to be the candidate in the general election?

Part of me thinks the people who actually threaten Trump are the ones he does not talk/tweet about. It's likely he's not sophisticated enough to think tactically like that. But you can't rule it out entirely that his campaign by attacking Biden/Bernie are deliberately elevating them in the media spotlight and suppressing the visibility of Kamala Harris for example.

3. No, 50 tweets in an hour show otherwise. Trumps only path to victory

Is in PA,MI and WI.. Biden shuts him down in those states.

[rzemanfl]

8. I think your device tricked you.

"Gorgeous?"

[Demsrule86]

11. Damn spell check on this tablet sucks as does my keyboarding.

Thanks

[Iamaartist]

19. K&R Thanks....

[Iamaartist]

18. I live in Michigan..I know....how goes here

[musicman65]

22. You got

the devos factor & their peeps

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

52. Devos' "peeps", as you call them, ...

... are a handful of super-rich, and another pile of ultra-christian right-wing charter school managers. I don't think they're a huge factor.

[erpowers]

27. I Agree

I wonder if Team Trump would actually like to have Joe Biden as the general election opponent. They might see Joe Biden as easier to attack than some of the other candidates. Biden is close to Donald Trump's age, so Trump can attack him as being old and unable to perform the duties of the job. Yes, Trump is also old, but it could be harder for Biden then some of the younger Democratic candidates to deny the claim of being old and unable to keep up with the job. Also, whether or not it is far, Joe Biden has a problem with sexual harassment. Due to the accusations against Biden it might it hard for him to attack Trump's history of mistreatment of women. Trump could easily point to the accusations against Biden and then, when Biden claims the accusations were nothing more than misunderstandings, Trump can claim the same thing happened to him. Trump could go as far as to say that the accusations against Biden prove that your political opponents can levy false claims of sexual harassment against you in order to hurt your campaign. There are many other things Team Trump can throw at Biden that might be harder to throw at some of the other candidates.

[emulatorloo]

33. They aren't that smart.

[NewJeffCT]

41. Trump isn't that smart

he reacts and tweets whatever is on his mind.

Some of the people behind him are smart and/or devious. Not to mention evil.

[treestar]

59. but they don't have control of him

[mountain grammy]

55. Agree.. but then neither are their supporters..

One big, dumb circle of one third of the country.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

35. Think trump is an equal opportunity basher. Just

depends on who is on top in polls. But he is already working on it. Someone posted yesterday he's already spending $$ for Mombook ads in Texas.

[debsy]

38. I'm with this line of thought

This is all **bullshit** and a way for the Dumpster Campaign to get what they really want: a face-off with Joe Biden. I think we are all falling for ideas being planted in our heads about who would be the best challenger and we aren't paying attention to where those ideas are coming from. Who is saying that the WH staffers can't keep him from thinking about JB? If it is anyone in the WH, they are all liars so why should we believe anything they say?

[Eyeball_Kid]

45. Amen to that...

The Dems best chance is to stay focused on the Dem candidates and really enjoy the great selection we have already. It's a great field and it's getting better. Let Trumpy flail away. He'll lie about anyone and anything to maintain control. He reportedly spends a substantial part of his "working day" testing out denigrating nicknames for his opposition, while he's got nothing to show for his 2.5 years in office. When the campaign gets more intense and primaries are held, Trumpy will trot out his old fear and loathing themes that will no longer sound new and alarming. He's always been a one trick pony, and we've all seen his rabbit-out-of-the-hat trick. It won't work anymore.

Trumpy's ONLY pathway to maintaining power and escaping prosecution is to manufacture a pretense for declaring a national emergency to suspend the Constitution and assume the powers of a dictator. That's what he'll do. He knows that his pathway to victory is getting very narrow. That's what's left.

[Texin]

48. Intrestingly, that "Sleepy Joe" nickname he's given Biden has no resonance.

It doesn't fit and makes no sense. Biden has more energy and enthusiasm than tRump could ever dream about, so the "Sleepy Joe" moniker is weak sauce.

[Texin]

46. When he tweets and utters something repeatedly, that's what's at the top of his mind.

He has no self-censoring mechanism (which could be a sign of overall cognitive decline). But as a narcissist, his every thought is about himself and his reputation*. When he's threatened, concerned, feeling dissed, he's going to pick at whomever or whatever it is that he feels is a threat. I do believe he is genuinely worried about Biden. I personally believe that he would love to campaign against any of the women candidates, as he did against Clinton. The misogynists within his base love nothing better than trashing women (and that includes a plentiful number of women who voted/will vote for him within that base). There are others that are vulnerable, but he'd love to be able to pull the gloves off against a female opponent again. Someone like Biden worries him because he's the genuine "real deal". He's authentic and tRump is so far from that he might as well be in another galaxy.

[ewagner]

57. I don't know about this...

It sounds a little bit too much like "PLEASE DON'T THROW ME IN THE BRIAR PATCH!"

[FiveGoodMen]

60. My first thought as well

[ecstatic]

2. That's great, if true, but what if these leaks are all BS and cover

for trump's next election theft? I'm starting to think we should focus more on the integrity of our elections.

[Iamaartist]

5. My option Joe is the best to fight Trump....each to its own choice...

[Demsrule86]

6. I think he is really scared. Look at the electoral ollege.

Biden can take the rustbelt states that gave Trump his victory in 16. If we rebuild the blue wall, the Republicans have no path to the presidency in 20 and beyond. It is our best chance to stop them for years,

[qazplm135]

28. Just stop

Every election is different.

We aren't stopping them for years just because it's your guy.

[Eyeball_Kid]

49. IMO, it's not necessary to hang our hats on Biden.

The Dems' bench is deep. Talent abounds. And Trumpy's track record demands accountability that will be addressed by any candidate that ends up dominating the primary field. The House investigations will continue and they won't go away. Each day will be a monumentally bad day for Trumpy. He's got a great propaganda machine for sure, but it won't be nearly enough to gaslight the entire nation.

Again, Trumpy's pathway to avoiding defeat is to create a pretense for declaring a "national emergency", citing the Patriot Act as justification, then suspend both the Constitution and the 2020 election. It's either that or face political, personal, and financial ruin.

[watoos]

4. Trump is scared of Mueller testifying.

Trump would love to move on to campaigning against any of our candidates, including Biden.

With that said I like it that Biden rolled out attacking Trump. We need more of our candidates going after Trump.
Bernie, Warren, Swalwell, have gone after Trump, we need more.

[Iamaartist]

9. i agree

This is serious,,,otherwise we would lose are rights to freedom in this country...

[no_hypocrisy]

7. I'd be telling him the good things if Biden wins:

1. Return to Trump Tower
2. Return to save business from sons
3. Sleep in own bed
4. Return to Page Six inthe NY Post

[Iamaartist]

14. I care dont care about there past,,,this is now,,,

And Joe doesn't need job training..just my opinion....

[machoneman]

37. You forgot one really good thing: do not pass go, go to jail!

Hah!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. I'm not so sure. There's a whiff of "Don't throw me in the briar patch". . . . nt

[Cha]

64. Yeah, because Biden's poll's are

way down.

[DetlefK]

12. I think I know why Trump is so scared of Biden: They are so much alike.

Trump is a big-city elitist who always got away with wrong-doing to the point where he considers it unfair when he doesn't get away with wrong-doing. BUT he knows how to sell his crass selfishness as a down-to-earth "telling it like it is".

Joe Biden on the other hand is not selling a shtick. He actually IS comfortable engaging with people on a personal salt-of-the-earth level. That's his natural way of doing things. It's not a negotiation-tactic, it's real, it's how he actually is, as evidenced by the simple fact that he sometimes does too much.



Joe Biden uses Trump's prefered weapon. And he's better with it.

That's why Trump is so nervous about Biden.

[DownriverDem]

23. Joe's Background

Biden had a close relationship with blue collar workers. Pennsylvania is part of trump's game plan. He needs it to win. Guess where Biden is from? Biden was born and raised in Pennsylvania. Biden will not take any of trump's crap. Biden/Harris is a winning ticket!

[bdamomma]

42. or

Biden/Warren.

[Cosmocat]

25. YEP

He has a lot of similarities as an older white male who can appeal to the "working class," but Biden is the polar opposite MORALLY.

That is absolutely why 45 is scared of him.

[Iliyah]

13. Shithole is scared and insecure 24/7

and it has and still is affecting everything he touches. Every ones that surrounds him are sad, angry and hold so much hatred. It is hell within.

I guess somewhat he needs to attack anyone who oppose him no matter what. He enjoys in destroying people which I guess makes him feel superior. Evil is in the WH.

Hopefully Biden or whoever wins the Democrat party's president candidacy and the people of America can cleanse this country of the evil. But alas, we must be aware of the GOPers tendency to cheat, stealing, suppression of votes and that ugly gerrymandering.

[Iamaartist]

15. I do worry about our voting....

All should worry about voting....its our giving right....in this country for all....

[tanyev]

16. When has Trump ever stayed focused on his day job?

[bdamomma]

43. he delegates

his job responsibilities to Stephen Miller that's why everything is messed up. Jerk.

[Cha]

65. Never.

[watoos]

17. I may be one of the few people here on DU,

who voted for Biden for president. Our union endorsed Biden and I am a big union supporter. Biden needs to take away the union vote from Trump like he did with the firefighters union. If other unions follow suit Trump will be Tweeting up a storm.

With that said, Biden has quite a few skeletons in his closet, it won't be easy for him since the M$M is not our friend.

[Iamaartist]

20. Everyone candidate has few skeletons in there closet ....just check the internet...

[DownriverDem]

21. Exactly

Besides with trump and his skeletons, nothing Biden had done could compare.

[crazytown]

26. And there's one more thing

things which represent real negatives to liberal Democrats - the tough on crime Act, his anti-Drugs record, the Bankruptcy Act, and the misogyny of the Anita Hill hearings are not negatives for ‘lean GOP’ voters

[Skya Rhen]

29. You are spot on - my exact thought!

[crazytown]

32. The same can be said for Kamala Harris' record as a prosecutor

and her crackdown on truancy, or Mayor Pete demolishing 1000 vacant, derelict house and sacking a paranoid black police chief who was illegally tapping the phones of colleagues looking for racism.

[marylandblue]

58. It's not the skeletons, but how you talk about them.

If Biden has good answers, then the skeletons lose their force. He laughs off attacks from Trump. Thats good.

He may have trouble with other attacks that don't come from Trump. He's had trouble with that before, bit hopefully he can do better.

[tavernier]

24. Shut up Jared.

The only thing that has saved our country is Rump being distracted. Every thing he manages to carry out is disastrous.

[lark]

30. OMG, the earth has ended, for the first time in his life Kushner makes a lick of sense!

The totally magnificent beautiful thing about it is drumpf won't listen to anyone in the world, other than PUtin. Only PUtin holds the reins to destroy him or make him truly filthy rich, not just a pretender.

[catbyte]

31. So that must mean that Joe & Hillary are now living together...

rent-free inside shithead's brain. It must be getting crowded in there.

[crazytown]

36. Hillary gets out a bottle of single malt

Joe holds up two shot glasses then says, ‘Now what is this about the Chinese hacking tax returns’ ?

[Kurt V.]

39. that toon is hilarious. What's with the shirtless guy

[bdamomma]

40. So called

"Sleepy Joe" will whoop his ass.

[comradebillyboy]

44. Biden or no Biden, when has Trump ever been focused?

[pangaia]

47. "..... and just stay focused on his day job. " ??

Really? And what might that be?

twitting while he shits himself on the toilet.
or is it shitting himself while he twits on the toilet...

that's what..

[Ferrets are Cool]

50. Stay focused???

Hell, if he stays focused on Big Mac sitting in front of him, that is a successful day.

[HopeAgain]

51. I take these things with a lot of salt (not just a grain)

Especially from this source.

[musicman65]

53. It all comes down to

who is best experienced to take back the white house from this madman

[world wide wally]

54. One of the things I like about Biden is that he was an integral part of the things Obama initiated

and Trump has eliminated by EO. Hopefully, Joe takes this personally and gives bullshit breath a payback.

[TalenaGor]

56. the first time in history where freedom of the president himself depends on re-election

[Gothmog]

61. trump is very scared of Joe Biden

[LAS14]

62. What would they want him to focus on? Isn't it better that he's not focused????? nt

[Cha]

63. LOL@trump "stay focused on his day job"!

That would be watching faux news to update his tweets.

Incompetent Psycho!

Nice art work, iamaartist!

[Hekate]

66. Best reason of all to love it that Joe entered the race...

But imo ALL of us better have Joe's back, because Trump is going to try to murder his reputation and smear his record past all belief. Any mistake Joe ever made in his life will be dragged out and twisted, so just ask yourselves in advance if Trump actually gives a rat's ass about Professor Anita Hill.
