(CNN) President Donald Trump's relentless effort to undermine Joe Biden as "Sleepy Joe" backfired this week when the former vice president delivered a forceful speech accepting the Democratic presidential nomination. Now the pressure is on the President to right his own campaign as he heads into the Republican National Convention next week.
Trump, a former television producer and the ultimate showman, is heavily involved in the planning for the four-day extravaganza that will give him an opportunity for a reset. He is aiming to create a more dynamic program than the Democrats with more live programming and audience interaction to lift his poll numbers.
Over the course of the summer, Trump has fallen behind Biden in national polls amid voters' disapproval of the President's handling of the coronavirus pandemic and the protests against police brutality and systematic racism following the death of George Floyd. He must now match Biden's well-received appearance and try to generate excitement for his reelection campaign at a time when many Americans are rightly focused on the pandemic.
Looking to bolster his image before a consortium of conservative groups Friday morning, Trump once again compared himself to Abraham Lincoln and refuted the efforts by Democrats to portray him as a leader who has shirked responsibility for fighting the virus while deepening the polarization in this country with his race-baiting campaign.

Yes, Biden’s “barn burner” speech as Drudge Report called it.
This isn’t Babylon Bee?
Yeah...It is...Babylon Bee and CNN are one in the same...Both are jokes...
What reality is this CNN drone living in?
CNN obviously feeling the pressure now. They know they won’t be in business much longer.
Biden’s “barn burner” was the same speech he delivered in 2008, pretty much word for word. Joe probably thinks it is 2008. Drudge is so dead.
At the beginning of his acceptance speech, Trump should say, “Well, I’m here live. You’re not watching a pre-recorded and edited speech.”
Her momma works for npr if that tells you anything
Yeah. Such a “barn burner” that it’s back to the basement for much needed rest I’m sure. Same speech as 2008 by the way so his “handlers” didn’t have to apply themselves.
All the usual verbal garbage...”soul of America”, “This President”, “Racist”, “Lies”, “__is a human right”, “Systemic”, “Unfair”, ‘Social Security”...
Well, would trump have to do it in 20 takes?
I subscribe to CNN in youtube because I want to see what they are putting out there. It’s hilarious. They are anti trump on everything. I mean every. Little. Thing.
I’m expecting, any day now, to see a breathless CNN headline: Trump forgets to brush teeth this morning.
So CNN is indicating that Dementiajoe is fully capable of having a 2-hour debate wtih President Trump.
I still wonder if Joe was injected full of some kind of anti-Alzheimer’s drug. It will be interesting to see if he retreats back to his basement now.
NPR must be defunded. Nothing but commie rat party propaganda machine.
So Trump should just know what's coming and be himself and not worry about what the media says he needs to do or not do.
Does the media really believe this stuff?
Like him or not, Trump said what he would do and he has done it. He has kept more promises than any President in my lifetime. In fact, I think almost all of us would agree that he has done more in almost 4 years than any President we could have imagined despite the hate and resistance.
Biden on the other hand has had 48 years to “fix things” and he has not done so. Now he promises rainbows and unicorns with no specifics and people are supposed to believe him?
‘Barn burner’ speech?
Oh, ya. The Democratic Party was the Party of the KKK. The KKK was known to burn barns, burn houses, burn churches, etc., of blacks and their supporters. I guess that ‘barn burner’ speech may be the correct term.

This article is utter trash. My Lord, the author is deluded and can’t make it through a sentence without lying.
I know Biden's people are burning the cities, but have they actually started on farms now?
