1. I bet it's taped nt

[ananda]

6. Short segments spliced together.

He can't breathe long enough otherwise.

[secondwind]

2. Tell him to save his breath. He will need it

[Wounded Bear]

47. So much this...nt

[Statistical]

3. God he is such a drama queen. Look at me. Look a me.

His normal outlet is his stupid rallies but he is too sick to do those now.

It would be laughable if he wasn't also destroying the nation.

[calguy]

4. If he does .....

His poll numbers will fall even more

[MustLoveBeagles]

9. +1

[lagomorph777]

45. Yup. I hope he takes a huge shot of Methylprednisone and a hit of Adderall first.

He thinks he did great in the debate (which dropped him 8 points in the polls). He should repeat his strategy.

[Zoonart]

5. Networks should say NO.

Just more FREE television coverage and abuse of power. He can't go out to have rallies so now we are getting a national address?
EFFFFFF NO!

[MustLoveBeagles]

15. Considering every time he opens his mouth his poll numbers drop

I say let him.

[Ponietz]

17. +1

No more airtime unless to explain it’s debt and taxes.

[NorthOf270]

7. Considering because he might pass out.

[BusyBeingBest]

8. Internal poll numbers must really be slip-slidin' away.

[GusBob]

10. A crowing, bragging, preening, in-your-face-slap at the victims

It will be ALL about him. This is a bad idea so proceed, asshole

[BlueStater]

25. Assuming he's not just bluffing.

All we’ve seen of the idiot in the last few days is in short videos. Is he actually physically capable of giving a long address?

[dalton99a]

11. More free airtime for his campaign

[Arkansas Granny]

21. Exactly. His campaign is pulling ads right and left. They need the coverage and can't afford it.

[EarlG]

12. Whoop de fuckin doo

He's probably going to tell us that he's been spitting in bottles of Trump-brand water for the past week and you can now buy them for the low price of $100 each.



"Now infused with Covid -- it'll make you feel 20 years younger!"

[underpants]

34. Pump in some roids and he could end up interrupting himself

He really thinks he can just charm everyone

[C_U_L8R]

13. If he doubles-down on the steroids, it's gonna get really amusing

[Ponietz]

19. Not so much when it calls for bloodshed

[underpants]

30. He'll interrupt himself

Could be quite amusing. I think Biden should get equal time.

[SoonerPride]

14. Give equal time to Biden to address the nation then.

Stop giving him free air time

[ProudMNDemocrat]

16. What is going to say? COVID is no big deal?

Look at me! I am BARELY living proof!

[TomCADem]

18. I Think Some Networks Would Offer Biden a Response...

...which is why I think that the Trump campaign may refrain from doing this. Fox might be willing to just show one side, but Trump does not need to convince Fox viewers.

[BlueStater]

20. He's Jackass LaLanne.

Fuck this moron. 😡

[LisaM]

22. Go for it, man.

I hope he insults every last person who was told to pray for him and have empathy. Which he will, because he can't help himself.

I responded to that by saying it would be a win for everyone if he came out of this a more compassionate person. Clearly that won't happen.

[AnnaLee]

23. CNN should tell him that Biden will get the same consideration if he asks for personal time.ntp

[GeorgeGist]

24. Grasping while gasping.

[jalan48]

26. Trump's excellent at changing the narrative. How long have we spent trying to get Trump's taxes?

Suddenly, they get leaked to the NYT and within a few days they are no longer the leading story, or a story at all. If this happened to a Democrat it would have been the end of their campaign.

[Ohiogal]

27. Probably taped it a month ago.

Knowing how he loves to make fantasy videos, like the one where he fires Obama....

[Rice4VP]

43. .

[Dr. Jack]

28. Just keep digging that hole deeper and deeper

Whatever ability he had to make good decisions, as tiny as it was, has clearly left the building. We are two days away from Trump announcing that he will be jogging naked around DC to show how healthy he is.

[In_The_Wind]

29. You can't fix stupid.

[OAITW r.2.0]

31. A nationally televised campaign speech? Not interested.

But will wait for the performance reviews...

[tinymontgomery]

32. Time to look for another good Netflix movie that night. n/t

[global1]

33. The Networks Got To Know It Is Just A Campaign Ploy And It Doesn't Really Measure Up To.....

a National Address.

Whatever he says will be peppered with his trademarked lies and he's using it as a substitute for his inability to stage any of his Super Spreading rallies.

The networks should just ignore him.

Fox will air whatever he says or does - because he is desperate now with his declining poll numbers and he's just trying to maintain his base of deplorable supporters - so the results of Nov 3rd aren't a complete landslide and blowout against him.

He needs to have his deplorable supporters vote. He can't have them sit out the election or lose any more support to Biden/Harris.

He's got to show to the Repugs - that he still has his base in his back pocket or he'll be rendered useless - and won't be considered the leader of the Repug Party after he loses big Nov. 3rd.

[TheRealNorth]

35. Biden and the Dems should get the opportunity for a rebuttal

like the they do for the State of the Union.

But I am sick of Trump playing the part of President Skroob and sucking up all the air.

Plus, coming into your house and taking a dump to make people sick of politics is a tired of politics is a tried and true Republican Campaign tactic to depress the turnout.

You can bet the Russians will be working online to support it.

[fleur-de-lisa]

36. LOL! Go for it, ace. You'll fuck that up too.

[Voltaire2]

37. Biden ought to resume attack adds if he hasn't already done so. Forkwit is obviously not on hiatus.

[procon]

38. Set the stage:

Giant waving American flag as a backdrop.
American flags aligned.
Red carpet.
Uniformed soldier props arranged stage right.
Standing prop actors in medical costumes stage left.
Patriotic theme music on looping reverb.
Teleprompter.
Podium with gilded trim.
Free flowing oxygen blowing on his face from the podium.

[sop]

39. Another vote for giving Biden equal time.

[Buckeyeblue]

40. I don't think the president gets to address the nation weeks before the election

[jayfish]

41. ...

[underpants]

42. With the breathing. YES.

[lagomorph777]

44. Go for it, COVIDIOT-in-Chief!

I'm sure that will work out great for you, just like the debate and the whole Turd Immunity strategy.

[Doodley]

46. He has some important things to say, like how he beat coronavirus because he is a fighter

like the world has never seen, about how he has more knowledge than anyone because he is infected, and how he took the risk and got infected for the American people. For each point, add a bit more to Joes Biden's lead.
