Scoop: Trump's smoke-him-out strategy

13 mins ago - Politics & Policy

President Trump's campaign, recognizing that he'll lose to himself if November's election is a referendum on him, is trying to flush Joe Biden into open combat by challenging him to more debates, taunting him as "Hidin' Biden," and posing a "Question of the day for Joe Biden."

Why it matters: Expect more of this. The Trump campaign is getting very frustrated that Biden is keeping a low profile and letting Trump give himself uppercuts every day.

While biding his time, focusing on the issues at hand, Joe Biden is letting Trump show his weaknesses before he goes in for the blow that knocks him down for the count. Trump is doing a mighty fine job at that as his poll numbers take a dive, the economy sputters, more Americans die from COVID-19, NOT dealing with racial distress, and more.

Joe's calmness and maturity is a striking contrast to Trump's chaotic bluster and lies. Americans are FINALLY paying attention. The Polls reflect that.

I haven’t heard that BS for quite awhile. He is so obviously stupid his followers shouldn’t be saying anything to draw attention to his ignorance.
