“It is very comforting to believe that leaders who do terrible things are, in fact, mad. That way, all we have to do is make sure we don’t put psychotics in high places and we’ve got the problem solved.” –Tom Wolfe
For all Americans, there is only about one month to make a decision about who will be the next President of the United States.
Taking just one issue, the Covid Virus, that might be discussed in the upcoming Presidential debates, will it be the current President Donald Trump, who took steps in early January 2020 to limit the spread of the Covid virus through travel bans from China (later from Europe) or a mad, corrupt, and lying, Joe Biden, who until March 2020, said that no travel bans were needed. Biden would not have stopped flights from Wuhan even though China began its own travel lockdown in January! Timelines tell the truth!
On February 21, the CDC released the warning on the virus. However, Slow Joe, living in isolation in his basement, kept tweeting that Trump was xenophobic and engaging in fear-mongering about the virus. Biden’s own top advisor, Ron Klain, on February 27, a month after Trump’s China travel ban, encouraged Americans to go to China town, “…Here’s one more thing everyone should do. They should, tonight, go down to Chinatown in their city and buy dinner or go shopping there. What we see inevitably, what we’re seeing already, is … people staying away out of needless fears about coronavirus.”
On March 2, as further evidence of his mental illness and inability to speak to a plan dealing with the virus, Slow Joe couldn’t even remember one of the most quoted sentences in history saying at a campaign event in Texas, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that All men and women created by the—you know, you know, the thing.” The thing? Dementia?
After the World Health Organization finally on March 11 declared the virus a full-blown pandemic, on March 12, Slow Joe, disagreed and once again tweeted, “Stop the xenophobia and fear-mongering.” Then he released his own “combat coronavirus” plan, that did NOT include a single travel ban nor did it mention China, or the city of Wuhan where the virus is believed to have originated. Could the billions being paid to his son by China have something to do with this decision? Or did Slow Joe just forget the name of the country due to his mental deterioration?
Consider that if Biden’s plan, however, had been released in the same time frame, January 2020, when Trump instituted a China travel ban, that would have meant that flights coming directly from Wuhan would have been allowed into the U.S. while China itself, in January, was locking down their own transportation network. Both China and Trump locked down in January but Joe would not have. China recognized the threat that the virus presented to its own citizens. Joe ignored the threat to the USA possibly because his own family was making millions of dollars from China? Bribery?
Did you notice that Biden’s would-be coronavirus plan was eerily similar to that of his 2020 Democrat opponent Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in that both men would NOT have helped keep American citizens safe like Trump’s did by implementing travel bans. Plagiarism? Poor decision making?
Biden’s lack of action from January to late March and lack of calls for a travel ban was indeed mad. Only later when many experts spoke out on the issue of the travel bans and admitted the Trump bans did help stop the spread of the virus throughout the United States did Joe do a “flip flop” on the Covid Crisis, stating in a tweet in late March, “…We are in the midst of a crisis with the Coronavirus. We need to lead the way with science – not Trump’s record of hysteria, xenophobia and fear-mongering.”
It is even harder to imagine that anyone, except the deluded left who embraces this mentally ill man, believes a word he utters. Joe can’t even remember the office he is running for! On February 28, Slow Joe told a crowd of supporters in South Carolina that he is running for a “United States Senate” seat, and if they don’t
like him, they can “…Vote for the other Biden.” This huge gaffe made Americans realize that Slow Joe was indeed having problems with his brain. Biden drew ridicule from critics and even the liberal media who said Biden’s latest gaffe is evidence that he is “too out of touch to run for presidency.”
It is hard to imagine that the world has ever seen a more mentally incompetent Presidential candidate than Biden, who with a couple of days until the debates, (will he show or will his campaign declare that he has the virus and cannot come out to debate) and one month to go until the election, hides in his basement so he doesn’t have to react to and correct his verbal flubs or even remember who he is? His moniker, SLOW JOE, is absolutely correct but then again, perhaps “Running late again Joe” would be better?
