    That’s how voters see it. Trump has framed the race as weakness VS strength, and everything in the last 3 weeks fits that perfectly. The debate, Bidens halting interviews since the debate, and now strong Trump got shot weak Biden back in basement. The covid stuff is bullshit, but that’s how voters see it. This is a campaign.

    I’m getting tired of democrats blaming the media for voters just not liking Biden. Biden his had shit approval ratings his whole term because he can’t message his accomplishments, hides from the press cause they know he’s too old to speak coherently, and surprise piccacho face when he’s down 5 nationally, at least down 3 in every swing state after the debate. This is Hillary all over again. Candidate hated by the voters feeling like they have some right to the presidency gets trounce leaving us with authoratians in charge. Like RBG not stepping down leaving us with a 6-3 conservative super majority. But sure blame the media.

      I’m sorry, where did I blame the media for his bad poll numbers? I’m just stating that the media has been covering trump differently than it has been covering Biden this election cycle and provided an example from this article. No one should be out and about while they have a highly contagious disease and it’s be ridiculous if trump stayed out of the rnc because his ear got scratched.

      And he constantly over-states and mis-states what he has done. No, inflation wasn’t at 9% when you took office. No, you don’t get credit for the student loan forgiveness when the courts immediately reversed everything you tried to do. No, you don’t get credit for leaving Afghanistan, you poorly executed a plan Trump committed you into.

        The courts reversed his first attempt, then he changed strategy and successfully implemented many good changes to student loan forgiveness. Sucks if you don’t like it, but it’s still a major accomplishment that he gets to take credit for.

        Also yeah he does get credit for leaving Afghanistan since fucking nobody else was going to do it lol
