The Biden campaign slammed President Trump after he said at a Nevada rally Sunday if his Democratic presidential rival Joe Biden were elected there'd be more coronavirus pandemic lockdowns because "he'll listen to the scientists."

What he's saying: "If I listened totally to the scientists, we would right now have a country that would be in a massive depression," Trump said.

The other side: Biden campaign spokesperson Andrew Bates said in an emailed statement, "Donald Trump tanked the strong economy he inherited from the Obama-Biden Administration by continually discounting and attacking warnings from the scientific and medical experts working around the clock to save lives.

5. I like your quote from Mrs. Roosevelt............

[CatMor]

2. Versus trump who only listens to himself because he's a stable genius.

[onetexan]

3. LOL This is another SNL skit in the making

He'll listen to the scientists....God forbid!

[NotASurfer]

6. That's in the "I'm Joe Biden, and I approve this message" territory n/t

[Hugin]

7. I'd prefer a President who wasn't an acolyte of John Calvin.

Who's hobby was burning scientists in the village square. Who invented the concept of divine providence. Who said usury was fine and dandy with God.

[Talitha]

8. Trump's an ass.

[GeoWilliam750]

9. Had to confirm that this was not Borowitz

[murielm99]

22. That's what I did, too.

Then I clicked on the link and read the story. It was worth the time.

10. Anyone that supported Trump after the first 6 months as well as those that continue to support him

are IMO the very definition of the deplorables that Hillary was talking about.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. To me, it seemed obvious in 2016 before the election. . . . nt

[cstanleytech]

26. Aye but I am trying to give some people a chance to simply have made the mistake of voting for

him simply because they got in the habit of voting for a Republican.
If they continued to support him after that though then they are completely unredeemable.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

30. Better they be slow & make good decision than fast & make wrong decision

Maybe they were quick to decide for tRump in 2016 and slow to realize they made a big mistake.

11. God save us

With the help of science!

13. Fox let him go on and on but in the end he was too fucking nutz for them and cut him off.

Flat out fucking nutz! On Fox now.

Biden will take away your 2nd amendment freedoms and raise your taxes too.

The man is hopped up on goof balls.

And Joe Biden will turn off the lights and close all the casinos in Nevada too.

500,000 bad ballots were sent out in VA. 50,000 bad ballots in OH.

14. 45* acts as if

following the advice of scientists and other experts is a flaw.

15. For the record: The U.S. has the highest number of cases and death toll from COVID-19 in the world.

............For the record: The U.S. has the highest number of cases and death toll from COVID-19 in the world. Infections jumped almost 17% over the past week as the number of new cases increased in 38 states and Washington, D.C.

18. Thanks, BD. That's a keeper.

Saved for emailing to smart-ass fundamentalist wingnuts.......

[Bernardo de La Paz]

19. A massive depression, like New Zealand and Canada?

[yuiyoshida]

21. "duh"!!!

GOD IS he really that STUPID???

[Beartracks]

23. If we'd PREPARED for the pandemic we already knew was imminent...

... we might have 1) instituted contract tracing, targeted quarantines, and limited lockdowns, and 2) avoided the economic disaster that 3) has occurred already under Trump.

============

[sinkingfeeling]

24. Oh, the horror! Listening to scientists!

[brooklynite]

25. BREAKING: Joe Biden responds

Link to tweet

I'll bet he works this line into Thursday's debate.

[mpcamb]

27. 8 million unemployed sounds suspiciously like a " massive depression."

[thesquanderer]

38. Yes... and even if doing what scientists said DID make it worse...

...exactly how many hundreds of thousands of lives is a better economy worth?

[central scrutinizer]

28. In today's NYT, "virus under control, China's economy surges"

On track for 6% growth this year

[dalton99a]

29. Worse yet, Biden will force schools to teach science

[CaptYossarian]

31. Afterward, Trump said he's accepted not winning the Noble Prize.

He told staffers that "not even the guy who invented gravity, Sir Fig Newton, had won it".

[durablend]

36. "Nobel Prize? Never heard of it!"

[marble falls]

32. Just one more reason to not vote for Trump.

[Turbineguy]

33. Yeah, this Biden guy is scary.

Next you'll be warning us that he has a brain.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

34. A loving dad with the persona of Mr. Rogers who listens to scientists.

Wow, way to go on your framing of the diabolical evil that is Joe Biden, Team Trump!

[kwolf68]

35. Fascism

Persecuted the arts, science, academia. Only lackeys and yes men are allowed in the building under a fascist dictatorship.

[Blue Owl]

37. My God every day Donald Trump out-stupids himself

How does he do it and yet maintain ANY sense of legitamacy?

I guess his base really is THAT stupid.
