POL What does this mean? Honest, sincere question re: ‘Our Wartime President Has Surrendered’ (Biden)

Ok, well, I saw the footage of Biden saying this the other night, and since I really cannot stand looking at "uncle Joe," (gag), I sifted through several news story links to skip the vid, and find the article.

Did Trump call himself "a war-time president." Is something really big going to be happening on our soil before January???

I always read between the lines, but this was put out there "in-your-face."

Of course, they all lie. This made me cringe, just because of Biden, just because, with all the other harbingers.

‘Our Wartime President Has Surrendered’

Former Vice President Joe Biden slammed President Donald Trump’s response to the coronavirus pandemic as cases have begun to rise recently in the U.S., though they are mostly falling around the rest of the world.

In a speech in Delaware on Tuesday, Biden said, “Donald Trump is in retreat. Remember, back in March … when he talked about the need to act like we were at war with the virus, he called himself a ‘wartime president.’ Remember when he exhorted the nation to sacrifice together and ‘in the face of this inevitable and invisible enemy,’ what happened?”

The former vice president continued, “Now it’s almost July and it seems like our war-time president has surrendered, waved the white flag and left the battlefield. Today we’re facing a serious threat and we have to meet it. We have to meet it as one country but the president gives no direction and he pits us against one another.”

He said, “We can’t continue like this, half recovery and half getting worse. We can’t continue half wearing masks and half rejecting science.”

Biden also announced that he is releasing a plan of the steps that he thinks Trump should take, calling it “a plan to save lives in the months ahead.”

The coronavirus resurgence has particularly wrecked the southern states, especially Florida and Texas. On Sunday, 29 people were reported dead from the virus in Florida, which is the highest coronavirus death toll of any Sunday since the pandemic began, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

In California, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) announced on Sunday that bars in several counties would be closing as the state deals with its numbers. California was scheduled for a re-opening phase but that, of course, has been scrapped and in Los Angeles County, health officials say that one in every 140 people have an active case of coronavirus.

Be glad that that cannot really happen! :) I mean, stupid is imposed on us daily, and there are many things I wish I hadn't heard, or seen.

Yes he did. He was talking about the “war against COVID“ however.

Ya, but it's a bit deeper than that.

China started that "wartime posture" thing.

Trump went with it too but as a nose thumb to China, signifying perhaps China made the virus in a weapons lab; thus Trump being a "wartime" president if China attacked the world with a biological weapon.

And you gotta remember, you can't fix stupid. You have to let it play itself out in the long run and it will catch up with them all. And yes, it is hard to read and watch the sheer stupidity day in and day out with people and daily I ask: Dear God, make it stop!!!!

And what would the war time ... possible President ... Biden do? Pat China on the back and say good job ... and expect his payment.

I am pretty sure Trumps Corona war time President was in reference to marshalling the countries resources to defend the country against the invader (virus). I don’t see a link to war time President to China except as the source.

If babbling Joe had anything to say I am sure it was all a bunch of focus group generated nonsense.

If Trump surrendered, then Biden didn't know what war it was, where he is, and why he was standing in front of the refrigerator in his underwear after midnight.

Pride comes before the fall.....Pride month ended.
I'd say the comment had teeth, to those who understand. This CHInA virus is a bio weapon. He has all but said that, due to détente. And the wisdom to get ones ducks n a row prior to going all out.

I suspect he has plans that will be known soon enough for old Joe. And Hillary.

I just wonder how many weeks, "Joe the molesters" handlers took to get him ready for that speech.

President Roosevelt had invoked the newly passed "Emergency War Powers Act" for the purposes of waging war on the financial crisis in 1934. There by allowing him the use of much more power than a normal president would have. Why Trump did it I do not know. However, he may have invoked them just to make a point with congress.
