It’s Like Looking Through A Window

Trump, who has been serially inaccurate in his predictions about the pandemic, launches into this attack about Biden: "At every turn, Biden has been wrong about the virus - ignoring the scientific evidence."

Trump says Biden's immigration policy would allow "the pandemic to infiltrate every US community." The pandemic already exists across the United States.

Trump denounces Biden's call for a nationwide mask mandate, wrongly saying repeatedly that Biden called for the president to issue such a mandate and asking what power the president has to do this. Biden called for every governor to issue a mandate.

"To Joe, I would say stop playing politics with the virus. Too serious. Partisan politics has no place here," the president says while delivering an attack on his election opponent from the White House briefing room.

And already he’s running scared from his bold declaration of yesterday:

.@kaitlancollins asks about Trump’s comments about the postal service. Trump says he wouldn’t veto a bill featuring postal funding but also the postal service partly needs all that money to handle ballots nobody knows where they’re coming from. (They come from voters.)

Why am I not surprised?  But the most transparent thing is the projection:

Trump: "Americans must have their freedoms. And I trust the American people and their governors very much. ... Joe doesn't, Joe doesn't, Joe doesn't know too much."

He also thinks he’s in charge of the future, and what he suspects you shall as good suspect:

Trump with what seems like implied suggestion to cancel/postpone election: "We need an honest election and if it's not going to be an honest election, people need to sit down and think really long and hard about it." (Yet Potus not talking about Russian interference.)

How do we know it will be a dishonest election? Future Crime! Oh, no, wait: Trump just said so! If that isn't good enough for you, you're the reason the election will be dishonest!
