He’s sure it makes him look stronger. Like it’s an admirable action, instead of the cowards way.

If any of his followers perceive his running away as the failed effort to save face in lieu of having balls, they would stop admiring him. I’m sure a few of them are grappling with this un-macho show of fear.

doing the interview in the first place, to get the Hunter Biden junk in there, onto a respectable platform.

Because everything else he says in this interview we've all heard hundreds of times before.

So Hunter was accused. So fucking what? Doesn't mean squat.

That PoS is down to picking straws at the bottom of the barrel.

Is that a mixed metaphor?

Now he's released this recording, the pundits will spend all day slicing and dicing his comments, and those clips will do the rounds today (Trump saying he doesn't want tough questions, Trump saying he doesn't have a health care plan, Trump saying COVID isn't his fault, etc.)

The mainstream pundits will not give the phony Biden accusations any play because as CBS pointed out, they're unverified (and stink of a Russian propaganda operation). The only people who will be talking about them are the people who already buy into it.

If Trump had waited until Sunday, the same thing would have happened except he would also have been stepping on Biden's interview. But since he's kindly put it out ahead of time, that means Trump's interview will be old hat by Sunday, and Biden's interview will get additional attention.

Another fabulous campaign fail by Orange Julius.

Oh, plus, he just gave Biden a bunch of new ammunition to use against him tonight, lol.

I’m not super FB savvy but I have to assume the Trump team is busy deleting unflattering comments to his posting of the 60 minutes interview since all comments are over the top in praise of him. Seeing that the vast majority of responses to his tweets are negative, I can’t fathom there wouldn’t be a single negative FB comment (though, admittedly, I didn’t dig too deep—became too nauseated reading the over obsequious comments with “God bless you Mr. President..”, And “You’re the greatest President ever..”)

Meeting over. So far they are trying to staunch the bleed by giving people packages to leave voluntarily. At least no involuntary layoffs...yet.

Work for a hospital (IT) and they are furloughing doctors and nurses due to so many elective surgeries, procedures, etc being put on hold for COVID.

Joe Biden must win. So many lives hinge on that outcome. (I know I’m stating the obvious)

She is so disrespectful and doesn’t deserve the opportunity to interview the president.

Because we are FREE PEOPLE and we can decide ourselves whether or not we want to ware masks or not. He is not our dictator he is our President.

You should show respect to our President.. the media has gotten out of hand with there lying and own agendas

The media is conspiring together with the Democratic Party to take down this country.

No wonder they love their Killa Con
