Joe Biden’s calling on President Trump to lower the flag at the White House to half-staff to honor the more than 60,000 Americans who’ve died from the COVID-19 disease caused by the coronavirus.

In a video posted to Twitter on Thursday, the former vice president and presumptive Democratic nominee said that “by the end of this month we will have lost more people to the coronavirus — dead — than we lost in the entire Vietnam War — Americans lost in the entire Vietnam War. And know, I think the president should lower the flag on the White House to half-mast to recognize their loss and all they leave behind – all those families they leave behind.”

This poor sap will do anything to get his name in the paper. He has to be the most pathetic political candidate in our history.

What about those citizens who were killed by drunk drivers?

Those who died because of the flu?

The list goes on and one.

Whatever Joe. Is this the great presidential leadership Rahm Emmanuel was talking about when he endorsed Biden? Keep travel from China open, then raise the flag at half staff once all the deaths occur?

They are War Dead, killed in their sleep at the hands of Joe’s Chinese masters. He’s bought and paid for and Xi Pooh has the receipt to prove it. Such a courageous and bold suggestion. Biden would run up the White Flag were it he in the Captain’s chair.

Trump -
“Joe. Thanks for the idea, however, I am already lowering the flag to half staff in memory of all the females sexually abused and assaulted by long term politicians.”

Have Ivanka suggest it. Then do it at Ivanka’s suggestion. Beat the ‘craps at their own game.

As the Brits said to the US generals after we got our heads handed to us in North Africa-referring to a certain general who was pretty bad and was in command of the US forces in the beginning over there.

“Surely, you have got to have someone better that that!”

This just confirms that the theme of this election will be Trump Deaths. 24/7. Expect a surge on Nov 1.

Here in Washington State the governor had us lower the flags because some state highway worker died when a tree fell on him.

Talk about diminishing the honor of our actual fallen military service members..

I urge Whitehouse to lower flags in memory of Biden’s brain (such as it was).

More like they should fly the flag upside down for what was done to Gen. Flynn.
