Former Vice President Joe Biden seems to continually forget where he's at, what office he's running for, and most recently, that President Donald Trump invoked the Defense Production Act to help deal with the Wuhan coronavirus.
On Sunday, Biden told ABC's George Stephanopoulos he wants to see the president make a number of moves.
"We have to move swiftly. We have to move more rapidly, to implement the Defense Production Act, power the supply commander, create a Defense Production Act for banks," the former vice president explained. "Ramp-up testing. A whole range of things. Gotta go faster than slower. And we started off awfully slow."
When Trump banned all flights to and from China, Biden called him a xenophobe. Now he's saying that Trump acted "too slow."
Biden seems to forget (or not know) that Trump invoked the DPA on March 18th to allocate necessary health and medical resources to fighting the Wuhan coronavirus. This limited distribution to things – like gloves and masks – that the civilian market would normally see.
Trump invoked the DPA again on March 23rd to prevent the hoarding of those crucial health and medical supplies.
On March 27th, Trump used the DPA to force General Motors to produce ventilators.
The president utilized the DPA on April 3rd to force 3M to prevent the company from exporting masks to other countries while the United States has a shortage of personal protective equipment.
How many more times does Trump need to invoke the DPA before Biden realizes (or accepts) that it's being used? The president has made clear that he's refrained from using the act as much as possible because the private sector and businesses across the nation have stepped up to help fight the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic.
Trump should also consider signing the Emancipation Proclamation. Oh and the New Deal...right Joe?
All it would take is for just one of Joe’s handlers to have a sense of humor and, just before he goes on camera, whisper something in his ear about the critical shortage of Depends ….
It’s also time for the democrat spokesperson in the media to call him out for his mistakes and tell him that the president has already done the things he is calling for.
This is the jerk that Rob Reiner stated “looked like a President.” Forever Meathead.
That’s typical for Meathead, he’s about as bad off as slow Joe.
And unless there is an “R” next to their name lil’ Georgie won’t correct you, won’t even bat an eye.
And all the low-information voters will say, “Yeah, he’s right.”
Joe, the FDIC already exists and BASEL requirements are being followed.
Sorry, Joe, the world is passing you by like you're driving a 1970s Buick in the left lane with your turn signal on.
Being a democrat means you never have to be self aware of anything. All you need to do is blame and accuse others of what you’re guilty of.
Hillary and company taught us all that very well.
No man, not even close. That's a Nash Rambler.
