It has been plain to see that the Republicans main attack is on Biden’s mental health. They can’t impeach his character. Biden is a mensch ! Republicans like Max Boot see the difference !
.Trump’s attempt to use government funds already approved to go to Ukraine and withhold them until they helped him with a political attack on Joe Biden got him impeached. They found no evidence against Joe’s son.
.On December 3, 2019, as part of the impeachment inquiry, the House Intelligence Committee published a 300-page report detailing that "the impeachment inquiry has found that President Trump, personally and acting through agents within and outside of the U.S. government, solicited the interference of a foreign government, Ukraine, to benefit his reelection. In furtherance of this scheme, President Trump conditioned official acts on a public announcement by the new Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, of politically-motivated investigations, including one into Joe Biden, one of Trump's domestic political opponents. In pressuring President Zelensky to carry out his demand, President Trump withheld a White House meeting desperately sought by the Ukrainian President, and critical U.S. military assistance to fight Russian aggression in eastern Ukraine."[21]:8 In January 2020, the Government Accountability Office, a non-partisan watchdog, concluded that the White House broke federal law by withholding Congress-approved military aid to Ukraine.[22]

.Besides, Trump’s own nepotism is unique. Trump’s kids had grifted and used nepotism for financial gains far more than Biden’s. So, this attack is out. What do they have left ? Based upon recent republican polling in the three states that are most likely to determine who wins the electoral college, Michigan and Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, we can infer that attacks on Biden’s mental health are likely to be a central part of their political strategy to win. Anything can be taken out of context, but there are plenty of interviews and speeches and podcasts that Biden has been part of or given over the last couple of months which demonstrate that Biden is mentally healthy. The challenge to the naysayers is show the whole of the video evidence, not one tiny part out of context, show through all of the videos, each one in their entirety, and then try to make a case that Biden is not mentally healthy. It can’t be done. They can show chopped up and edited clips, but if one watches an entire hour long video of Joe Biden speaking or being interviewed or discussing a topic, then we can see that he is fine. I can’t post every single recent video of Joe Biden, but it is my understanding that Colbert’s interview of Biden was live (or not edited — cf the call from his daughter which would have been edited out ) . Watch the entire moving interview and then try to make an argument that Biden is not mentally healthy. It is my view that it can’t be done; Biden is manifestly mentally and emotionally healthy in the interview. I believe this video is strong evidence that Biden is fine.

.Joe Biden is manifestly healthy mentally and emotionally and he looks to be in much better shape than Donald Trump in every way. Now, look at this video in its entirety (not edited at all) and tell me how the person who says these things is well.

.Trump says let’s mainline Clorox or a disinfectant as a cure for the novel coronavirus and also suggests that one put a UV light inside of their body as another potential cure. And his defense of that is that he has a good “you know what” . Trump is such a narcissist that he evaluates our recently and dearly departed Civil Rights Icon, one of the Big Six, somebody who had his skull cracked open in his fight for justice, based upon his decision to not attend his inauguration. He implicitly favorably compares himself to Lewis and every other president with the possible exception of Lincoln in what he believes he alone accomplished for the African American community.
Trump utterly fails to take responsibility for his own failures.

Trump was warned by American researchers within the World Health Organization about the dangers of the novel coronavirus in 2019. Trump was warned by American intelligence agencies about the dangers of the novel coronavirus in January. Trump was warned about the dangers of the novel coronavirus in his presidential daily briefings.

Trump was warned by his own HHS Secretary whom he chose, Secretary Azar, about how dangerous the novel coronavirus was and he called Secretary Azar an alarmist. Joe Biden warned Trump and the nation about how dangerous the novel coronavirus could be in an opinion editorial in the USA Today in January. Trump had access to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health, the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, FEMA, the nation’s intelligence agencies, and epidemiologists like Dr. Birx and Dr. Fauci. He had plenty of warnings and access to information to know by early February that he needed to act and he failed to. No other elected position is voted on by voters across the country. The pandemic affected the entire country. Therefore, the person who is president must take the lead in managing the pandemic. If one state has very strict requirements (must wear mask, must social distance, no large crowd gatherings, businesses shut down) and a contiguous state has weak requirements (if any), then that will simply result in moving the novel coronavirus from one state to another. We need a uniform response across the country. Until the last several weeks, Trump never wore a mask in public, nor did he demonstrate social distancing. He minimized the dangers of the novel coronavirus. So, people who listen to him believed it was not dangerous and mostly a hoax. They followed the president’s practice and didn’t wear a mask. He needed to model the good recommendations by the CDC and act as if he has it and so does everybody around him. It’s like he has never heard of a false negative. Oops, he probably has not. He refused to ramp up testing and his argument was that testing makes the cases go up. Testing doesn’t make one pregnant; it reveals if one is pregnant. Testing doesn’t make people contract the disease ; it reveals if they have the disease. Without testing, we don’t know where the virus was, where it is now, where there are epicenters, and where it is likely to go in the future. Without testing, we are flying blind. Trump never called for a stay at home order. Trump called to open the economy when the states were not in a position to open up and blasted the CDC. Trump did not build up our ability to do contact tracing. Trump did not create an organization with business leaders and epidemiologists to formulate plans on how businesses could open up safely. He is the president and the buck stops with him. We have four percent of the world’s population and twenty five percent of the world’s deaths and twenty five percent of the world’s cases. We are reaching new official case highs daily. We have some of the best universities in the world and some of the best epidemiologists in the world. This did not have to happen. The reason it happened is Donald Trump.
.
.In summary, Joe Biden is in very good mental and emotional health and he appears to be in far better physical health than Donald Trump. Unfortunately, we cannot say the same for Donald Trump. Donald Trump is not well. He is not mentally or emotionally healthy. He is a severe narcissist. He is always the victim and never the culprit. Everybody’s and everything’s importance to Donald Trump revolves around how they and he can benefit him. He has no relationships, only transactions. He has zero compassion and no empathy. He is the single worst president that this country has ever had. He has the blood of 160,000 dead Americans on his small hands. This did not have to turn out this way in this country with some of the best universities, medical schools, scientists, doctors, and epidemiologists in the world. The reason it has turned out this way is because Donald Trump is our president. If we are to have any hope of limiting the loss of life and jobs to a minimum, Joe Biden must defeat Donald Trump. We must give Joe Biden a strong majority in the US Senate and build upon our majority in the US House of Representatives. We must vote Democratic and vote for the best Democrat up and down the ticket, all elections matter. Local elections matter .
