In reply to the discussion: Do you think that Joe Biden should be brutally honest about the damage Trump has done to America? [View all]Squinch
(50,774 posts)7. I get you, but I still think after what we have had for 4 years people have PTSD. No kidding.
I believe Joe's administration will responsibly deal with what Trump has done. I think there will be prosecutions. (There better be.) I think we will be informed about the slime that has gone on for 4 years under that slob.
But I think Joe personally has to take an FDR approach to this. Everything needs to be about problem solving, and every statement needs to be couched in a "here's what we're doing to fix it and here's what you can do to help" format.
We need a leader who is relentlessly positive.

Ex presidents are entitled to classified briefings on national security. Bush the elder got them

I think Biden should let his Justice Dept. handle the afterbirth of the Trump administration.

Yes, but also with a "how we're going to fix it" spin. The media will not do it.

Yes. Biden should go on the air & stand in front of a big blackboard like Ross Perot did
