Not at all. Didn't Biden just finish telling the world that he would shut down America if he were president? Therefore Trump could have gone in the opposite direction and ORDERED the opening up of America.
Actually, Biden said something like that but he didn't say that. You missed the nuances.
joe Biden says he would shut down US to stop coronavirus if scientists recommended it - CNNPolitics
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said, if elected, he would be willing to shut down the country again should there be a second wave of coronavirus in the US and scientists recommend the move to slow its spread.
"I would shut it down. I would listen to the scientists," the former vice president told ABC News' David Muir during a joint interview with his running mate Sen. Kamala Harris set to air in full Sunday night.
Biden said he would "be prepared to do whatever it takes to save lives, because we cannot get the country moving until we control the virus."
He called it the "fundamental flaw" of the Trump administration's handling of the pandemic, which has claimed the lives of more than 175,000 Americans.
See the difference?
And he does not need to worry about his enemies since they will hate him regardless of what he does (or does not) do.
Trump seems to have thought the way you do so he never made an effort to win people over to his side. He never tried to be kind with people when they said unkind things about him. A wise President ignores many things people say about him as not worth his attention. I would have advised Trump to ignore the remarks from AOC and other Democrats on the far-left. As not worth his paying attention to. Instead he thought he had to fight back. They won. Trump still had his supporters, but he drove other people away from him. The people on the far left wanted to brawl with him, and he went along with their game. If the far left people were black, Latino or Muslim, they then could paint him as a racist. That meant more blacks and Latinos and Muslims would side with them. They wanted that division and Trump gave it to them.
A smart President wouldn't even spend his time reading nasty comments from minor opposition people trying to get attention -- it looks bad, very bad, to me that Trump wastes his time reading what AOC says about him. Doesn't he have better things to do? If he does read what she writes, couldn't he keep quiet -- and if someone asks him about it, shrug it off saying something like, "I don't think she likes me. I'd be surprised if she said something nice about me." No need to attack back.
Many Presidents are more popular at the end of their first term than at the beginning. They managed to win people over who didn't vote for them the first time. Many of them win their second term by bigger margins than their first. They didn't do that by assuming the people who didn't vote for them were their enemies. No, they charmed them and won them over.
Trump made the mistake of not making a serious effort to charm others over. His problem now is that he's losing support among the people who voted for him the first time. That's the problem too since he won by very narrow margins in four key states -- and losing voters in those means he'll lose this time. He couldn't afford to lose even 2% of his supporters in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Florida. And he did not make an effort to win over Clinton voters in states where she won narrowly: New Hampshire, Minnesota, Nevada and Maine. He seemed to think he could win a second term by hanging onto the people who voted for him the first time, so he didn't bother trying to be charming with other people. He should have been trying to win a second term with a bigger margin.
Maybe he could have learned something by studying Obama's two elections. Obama could have done more in his first term to be charming with people who didn't vote for him. He managed to win a second term but with a lower percentage of the vote and fewer votes in the Electoral College.
I can see why that happened too. I did not like Obama at all in his first term. I thought he did much better in his second. That's when I found things about him I could like. For one thing, he had insulted people in Pennsylvania where I live -- and he never apologized for, never said he had misunderstood us. His remarks about people in small towns was ridiculous to me, saying whites and blacks didn't live together in small towns. What did he know? At the time, I lived in a small town in Pennsylvania and had black neighbors on both sides of me with no problems. I thought Obama was nuts. He certainly was talking about something he didn't know about. To make it even worse, he said that to rich white people in San Francisco as if the rich white people in liberal San Francisco were so great. There are very few black people living in San Francisco. In my view, they can say they're not racists, but facts tell me they have race problems. Obama looked like a lunatic to me talking to the predominantly segregated rich whites in San Francisco talking about how segregated small towns in Pennsylvania were. He wasn't in touch, that's for sure, at least in his first term. He was still growing into the job -- and as Michelle Obama put, Trump doesn't to be growing into the job, he can't. It never dawned on him that he's the President of all the American people. It took a while for Obama to get to that point, I don't see any progress coming from Trump on it. He has made the country more divided than ever. People are now squabbling about the most stupid little things as if they really matter. It's as if they want to fight about something and will over the dumbest trifles. Yes, I think Trump is partly to blame since the President sets the tone.
Trump talks about rigged elections -- with no evidence -- but his supporters go into a panic and the Democrats go on the attack.
