Biden says his campaign is setting up call with Trump
The Hill ^ | 04 02 2020 | Max Greenwood

Posted on 04/02/2020 1:49:00 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

Former Vice President Joe Biden said on Thursday that his aides are working to set up a call between him and President Trump to discuss the U.S. response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Biden offered earlier this week to speak with Trump about the government’s strategy to combat the coronavirus outbreak. The president told reporters on Wednesday that he would “absolutely take his call.”

“I’m happy to hear he’ll take my call,” Biden said in a virtual briefing with reporters on Thursday. “My team is working with him to set such a call up.”

Biden and Trump’s willingness to speak on the phone with one another comes even as they have continued to spar in recent weeks.

Biden has repeatedly criticized Trump’s response to the coronavirus outbreak, blaming the president for being slow to take decisive action to slow the spread of the virus. He has sought to present himself as a more stable alternative to Trump through digital briefings, television interviews and other media appearances.

Trump to Joe:
“Joe, we are recording this call. Would you like your copy on cassette tape or vinyl?
Which I would assume should be a 78?”

“Why does he have to have his staff set up the call?”

to stretch out the publicity ... all those CEOs calling President Trump all the time offering to help out don’t seem to require lengthy call setting-up procedures to get through ...

First, Jocular Joe needs to find a slightly longer wire, in order to honor the six-feet distance rule, and he has to figure out a way to tap an extra tin can into the connection, so his campaign manager with the teleprompter can listen in on the call too, and flash comprehensible responses at him...

It will be recorded and wind up in a Trump commercial this Fall.

It will be recorded and edited for a Trump re-impeachment this Fall. I think that’s what would happen :-)

It needs to be in the White House, face to face, with the media, and Lysol.

And after riding in on Amtrak, a 14-day quarantine at a 5-star hotel, say Trump International, no discount.

He is a doofus but Joe Biden was a long-time senator and VPOTUS. I’m sure if he contracted the White House, the switchboard would have some way of verifying that it’s him and his call would be put through or he’d be put on call-back. He’s not some unknown Joe Schmoe trying to the talk to the POTUS.

He can use his Secret Service call sign “Half-Mast”... from doing naked backstrokes in front of female protective agents.
