Trump’s And Biden’s Memorial Day Events Highlight Starkly Different Campaign Tones

As a maskless President Donald Trump was greeted in Baltimore by a sizeable, tightly packed crowd of largely maskless supporters for his Memorial Day visit, his Democratic opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden, donned a mask at a crowdless wreath laying ceremony, underscoring a deep tonal divide between the two candidates.

Trump delivered a Memorial Day speech at Baltimore’s Fort McHenry, where his motorcade was greeted by a raucous crowd of supporters, many of whom were not wearing masks or social distancing. As with his last visit to Baltimore, Trump was also received by protestors, who were socially distanced and wearing masks. Trump, whose visit was repudiated by the Mayor of Baltimore for its violation of the city’s stay-at-home order, was without a mask for the entire event.

By contrast, Biden, whose campaign has been relegated to solely digital events since March, was seen wearing a mask as he attended a low-key, uncontroversial wreath laying ceremony in his first public appearance since the outbreak of the virus.

Biden's handlers need to keep him hidden in his basement and outside of the public eye lest his demntia be on full display. Biden supporters are Covid fan gurls.

Biden's handlers need to keep him hidden in his basement and outside of the public eye lest his demntia be on full display.

Demented who?



DAWSEY: You said yesterday when you were leaving that you were skeptical of a climate change report that the government had done. Can you just explain why you’re skeptical of that report?

TRUMP: One of the problems that a lot of people like myself — we have very high levels of intelligence, but we’re not necessarily such believers. You look at our air and our water, and it’s right now at a record clean. But when you look at China and you look at parts of Asia and when you look at South America, and when you look at many other places in this world, including Russia, including — just many other places — the air is incredibly dirty. And when you’re talking about an atmosphere, oceans are very small. And it blows over and it sails over. I mean, we take thousands of tons of garbage off our beaches all the time that comes over from Asia. It just flows right down the Pacific, it flows, and we say where does this come from. And it takes many people to start off with.

DAWSEY: So you’re saying you don’t see the —

TRUMP: Josh, you go to other places where they have denser trees — it’s more dense, where the trees are more flammable — they don’t have forest fires like this, because they maintain. And it was very interesting, I was watching the firemen, and they’re raking brush — you know the tumbleweed and brush, and all this stuff that’s growing underneath. It’s on fire, and they’re raking it, working so hard, and they’re raking all this stuff. If that was raked in the beginning, there’d be nothing to catch on fire. It’s very interesting to see. A lot of the trees, they took tremendous burn at the bottom, but they didn’t catch on fire. The bottom is all burned but they didn’t catch on fire because they sucked the water, they’re wet. You need forest management, and they don’t have it.

We’ll have an economy based on wind. I never understood wind. You know, I know windmills very much. I’ve studied it [sic] better than anybody I know. It’s [sic] very expensive. They’re made in China and Germany mostly, very few made here, almost none. But they’re manufactured — tremendous, if you’re into this, tremendous fumes, gases are spewing into the atmosphere. You know we have a world, right? So the world is tiny compared to the universe. So [a] tremendous, tremendous amount of fumes and everything — you talk about the “carbon footprint” — fumes are spewing into the air, right? Spewing. Whether it’s in China, Germany, it’s going into the air. It’s our air, their air, everything, right?

Did Trump Really Say This About Wind and Windmills?



“And you know when you say ‘per capita,’ there’s many per capitas,” the president said. “It’s like, per capita relative to what? But you can look at just about any category and we’re really at the top, meaning positive, on a per capita basis too.”

"So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous - whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light," the president said, turning to Dr Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus response co-ordinator, "and I think you said that hasn't been checked but you're going to test it.
"And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside of the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you're going to test that too. Sounds interesting," the president continued.

Biden's handlers need to keep him hidden in his basement and outside of the public eye lest his demntia be on full display. Biden supporters are Covid fan gurls.

It's a Republican 'thing' that Joe Biden has been 'hiding in his basement' and it couldn't be further from the truth. The idea that somehow his keeping to the rules and following the instructions that been put forward by the CDC, scientists and doctors is absolutely bizarre. He's been doing precisely what is recommended by avoiding crowds, social distancing, wearing a mask while out in public. So what? He's smart and doesn't want to give or catch the virus.

I doubt that in a home this vast there would be any need whatsoever to seek shelter in the basement of this mansion. Does that really make sense to anyone?

Could anyone actually believe, after seeing the photos of Joe Biden's mansion in Delaware, a mansion that has 6,800 square feet and sits on vast acreage bordering the river, there's really no sense in believing it would be necessary to 'hide in the basement'. This is just one more Republican talking point that got picked up and repeated by Fox pundits over and over. People get an image of Joe Biden in a dark, dank cellar like the one inside their own homes and that's just not the case at all. He has done several interviews from his home and none were in the cellar. Once again, the right doesn't use any common sense or critical thinking but it's intentional, it just makes them feel better repeating the lie that "Joe Biden is hiding in his basement".

Wrong, there is no reason for Biden to even engage trump, trump is a complete moron and digs his own hole deeper, and deeper every day...

Looks like about a 3-point boost right there.

Yep. Two Americans honoring American war veterans. Quietly and respectfully. Like all presidents do, left right and center. Except Trump, who chose to politicize even this solemn event.

White House spokesman Judd Deere responded in a statement obtained by CBS News that “The brave men and women who have preserved our freedoms for generations did not stay home and the President will not either as he honors their sacrifice by visiting such a historic landmark in our Nation's history.”

Yet you cannot actually prove that. Sometimes I think you just say whatever pops into your head at the moment.

 

[Grim17]

Biden is hiding from the American people because his campaign knows that every time he opens his mouth in public, he loses supporters.

He hasn't been hiding from Trump yet, but he will be... As soon as discussions start heating up about when to hold the first presidential debate, that's when Biden will start hiding. If I had to bet, I would say Joe Biden and his campaign will do what they can to avoid debating Trump.

Because he has no Class, money cannot actually buy it and the Trump's don't actually teach it since they don't know what it is. The one the jury is out on is Ivanka, she seems the cringe when trump says some things and openly disagrees on a few topics, we shall see.

I use a very mystical, little known method of divining information... It's called common sense and the powers of observation.

Do you realize that today was the first time Biden has shown his face in public in more than 10 weeks? Everything he's done has been online and the only interviews he's done, which are few and far between, has been with friendly media sources.

There have even been articles published about Biden's stay at home strategy. Biden is a public speaking train wreck and you damned well know it.
