Trump plays it cool while Democrats, media turn on Biden

Presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump has remained largely silent following his June 27 debate in which President Biden gave a halting performance – instead allowing fellow Democrats and the media to criticize or raise questions about Biden's age and mental acuity. 

In the days after the debate two House Democrats – Reps. Lloyd Doggett, of Texas, and Raúl Grijalva, of Arizona – have called for Biden to end his reelection bid, amid reports that donors are poised to stop contributing to the Biden campaign and Virginia Democrat Sen. Mark Warner is requesting a meeting with members of his conference to discuss Biden's path forward. 

“I don’t think anybody in the Trump campaign has ever said they want Biden off the ticket,” former Trump adviser Corey Lewandowski told the New York Times, said about the debate response by Trump and/or anybody else on Team Trump. 

In Trump's campaign stop in Virginia the day after the debate, the former president largely focused on what he considers Biden's failed policy issues.  

“Joe Biden’s problem is not his age; it’s not his anything,” said Trump, according to Slate.com. “He’s got no problem other than his competence. I know people that are much older than him doing unbelievable things, making a fortune.”

Meanwhile, Trump's Truth Social account has nearly gone dark, with only limited posts highlighting favorable polling data, a Fourth of July message, and a handful of endorsements. The lull in activity is uncharacteristic for Trump, who maintains a near constant social media presence.

Political observers have suggested Trump is laying low because at 78 he is only three years younger then Biden and/or that he prefers to face Biden rather than an alternative candidate.

The Liberal Media and the Democrats are doing an excellent job in destroying Joe Biden (who is also doing an excellent job himself, on himself)

President Trump just needs to sit back; enjoy some popcorn.

The Democrat brand is being exposed to the world right now.

That is not only our great fear--THAT IS OUR GREAT DANGER.

Biden is the puppet of a cabal whose objective is the destruction of the USA.

We do not know who is in this cabal, but we do know that it is composed of enemies of the USA. These enemies are probably agents of a foreign nation or of foreign nations.

It is a matter of decorum and restraint, just like Hitler embraced.

The biden crime family is in the middle of learning that the left will throw you away like yesterday’s trash in order to remain in power.....and it doesn’t matter who you are.

It is the best thing Trump could do.

One thing Trump is good at doing is being the main presence in the room.

However, the most beneficial thing for the Trump campaign is for Biden’s cognitive issues to be the main presence in the room and not Trump. It would not make any sense for Trump to disrupt this gift. The longer Trump remains silent, the worse it gets for Biden.

An excellent ad for President Trump - it needs no narration - just simply “President Trump 2024” at the end

How long until the Democrats start crying “Deep Fake!”??

About 2 seconds...

The Fifth Column...er, Fourth Estate haven’t turned on the POTATUS.

This is a modified limited hangout orchestrated from the top.

If Trump comments he will become the focus and Biden will gain time.

I still maintain part of the reason for the silence is that Trump, unlike his detractors, has a certain amount of compassion for Biden’s state (re: Trump’s brother Fred).

Besides all the entertainment, the one big lesson for our side from this is "how not to pick a Vice President'.

Hope Trump is taking notes as he decides on his VP, to not pick someone with zero support among the MAGA base.

Why do the haters compare Trump to Hitler? I don’t get it. Yes, Trump is a bit uncouth at times...but Hitler? Give me a break. A better comparison would be to the Rodney Dangefield character in Caddyshack.....where all the elite phony snobs have to deal with a regular Joe millionaire. And, that is exactly what the Dems are nowadays...elite phony snobs...putting their nose up in the air at the working class....the group of people who actually make the country go.

Besides, it’s the political left who is dealing with the antisemitism in their party. If you’re going to throw this accusation out, at least hit the right target.
