President Donald Trump's campaign called for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden to stop holding campaign events virtually and resume campaigning publicly.

After an extended pause on large-scale events such as campaign rallies due to the threat of coronavirus, Trump announced a series of four in-person events on Wednesday, beginning with a stop in Tulsa, Oklahoma this Saturday. Biden has done a majority of his campaigning by holding virtual town halls and fundraisers. In a Tuesday statement, Trump's campaign called Biden's online campaign events an example of Biden's "timidity."

"This is obviously a tactic to help [Biden] avoid errors and embarrassing, lost trains of thought, while also conveniently preventing the press corps from asking him any questions in person," wrote Trump 2020 Communications Director Tim Murtaugh.

"At what point will Biden subject himself to the scrutiny American voters deserve when considering the next President of the United States?" the statement continued.

Is this reverse psychology in action?

Trump is the best troll in politics.
I bow to the master.

Joe is doing the rope-a-dope routine.

Biden will be exposed, its just a matter of time.

I’ve been monitoring the Democrats since the start of their primaries. Biden was their 4th of 5th choice till South Carolina, then the Democratic establishment “cleared the field for Super Tuesday.

They had to stop Sanders.

Biden was handed the nomination.

Has anyone else seen the social media "press releases" that the Biden campaign issues?

They're timed to respond to important news stories, but all they are is a sober-looking, thoughtful, stock photo of Biden with quoted text addressing the issue. Probably 180 degrees from what might happen in real life, if Biden stepped up to a microphone.
