Donald Trump may be right that Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden cannot be acting president, but that is no reason to point to his dubious intelligence.
Writes about this edition “The Washington Post”, commenting on the words of Trump from his recent interview.
So, last weekend, the head of the White House pointed out that “Biden cannot connect two sentences”, that he is being released from the basement only to read a speech from a teleprompter. Finally, Trump advised Biden to take an aging test.
“Trump may be right that the alleged Democratic candidate is ‘not competent to be president’, but it is politically unwise to scoff at him,” WP writes.
The publication claims that the president, on the contrary, should praise his opponent, talk about which experienced politician he is competing with. Otherwise, Trump only lowers the bar for Biden in the debate. Ultimately, the 77-year-old Democrat will need to tie those two sentences together to win the November election.
In addition, Trump’s ridicule offends all American old people, the article says. While Trump won largely at the expense of older voters in 2016, the situation has changed. This is largely due to the current administration’s response to the coronavirus. As you know, COVID-19 poses a serious danger to the elderly.
“So what should Trump do? Instead of telling people that Biden is not competent, let Biden continue to show it himself, the publication said. – The former vice president will talk a lot in the coming weeks and months. Let the American people see from his words and actions that they do not have all the houses. Let surrogates draw attention to his missteps, and they should do so with sadness, not ridicule.
The message should be this: we have all seen how loved ones struggle with memory loss as they age. Nobody likes to see it or point it out. But in Biden’s case, this cannot be ignored. Because our loved ones do not ask for nuclear codes, unlike Biden. “
