Trump campaign attacks Joe Biden for lack of 'firsthand experience' being infected with COVID-19

Source: Raw Story

Trump campaign aide Erin Perrine on Monday suggested that President Donald Trump is a better leader than Democratic candidate Joe Biden because he has the “firsthand experience” of being infected with COVID-19.



While speaking to Fox News host Sandra Smith, Perrine pointed to Trump’s joyride around Walter Reed Medical Center to wave at supporters as evidence of him continuing with a presidential schedule, which she said was “more rigorous” than Joe Biden’s daily activities.

Smith wondered if the global pandemic will take the forefront in Trump’s campaign now that the president has personally been infected with the disease.

There's an even lower floor for Pendejo45's campaign to go to.

Who would have thought that?

Biden knows the risks and seriousness of this virus. Trump treats it like it's a joke and a hoax. So yeah it's the old Goofus and Gallant analogy again.

WASHINGTON—Shutting down a regular monthly delivery that had been in place since the Truman administration, President Donald Trump canceled the White House’s subscription to Highlights magazine Tuesday over what he deemed to be rampant anti-Goofus bias.

“Everyone’s getting on his case all the time—Goofus has been treated very, very unfairly,” said Trump, decrying the 60-year-old children’s magazine’s obvious pro-Gallant agenda while praising Goofus as a bright kid smart enough to look out for number one and who knew how to cut a deal.

“‘Gross Gallant’ is no angel either! I hear he’s in bed with some pretty shady figures, I won’t say who. Too bad for Highlights, a once-great publication that has gone downhill in recent years. Unfair that they never publish your drawings when you submit them. Also, I looked at that scene of the kids playing, and the second picture? No differences! None at all! And I was in that terrible maze for hours. Not good. There was clearly no exit.”

At press time, Trump had reversed his position and instructed an aide to renew the White House’s subscription after discovering Highlights gave him some positive press by mentioning him in a list of U.S. presidents.

Getting COVID is not some fucking badge of honor. If anything, after all we know now about how to stay safe, I'd say it's a badge of stupidity.

Does anyone sense the desperation sinking into the tRump campaign? November can not come soon enough. Or maybe Erin is bucking for a position as an ad executive. I can just imagine some of her marketing pitches:

Eating corn on the cob can make you a farmer

Fly on our airline once and become a pilot

Have knee surgery with us so you can operate on grandma

If you can turn the faucet off you too can be a plumber

Can you lie 20,000 plus times? You can be President

Okay I admit I am not a candidate for a stand up comedian. I am typing this after all seated in front my the computer.

Biden does not have first-hand experience paying hush money to porn stars.

Biden does not have first-hand experience bragging about cheating on his wives.

Biden does not have first-hand experience lying about releasing his taxes.

Biden does not have a lot of first-hand experience comparable to Trump.
