Now that sounds like a President. A real President, a real Leader, in fact and indeed.
CNN — Sept 10, 2020
[Jake Tapper plays the tape of Trump knowing full well the dangers that COVID virus posed.]
Biden: It's disgusting. We learn this on a day that we that -- we've turned 190,000 Americans dead.
And he knew this?
I understand he had just gotten off the phone, when he did this interview with Woodward — he just gotten off the phone with Xi Jinping. Where he's praising Xi Jinping about transparency ... and this is nothing to worry about. And this is going to go away like a miracle.

[Jake Tapper plays the tape of Trump wanting to downplay the threat of COVID to prevent panic.]
Tapper: He said something similar this afternoon. He said he didn't want to create a panic, that's why he downplayed it. he said "leadership is about confidence."
Biden: Yeah. And that's why we have no confidence in his leadership. Look, you saw what Columbia Medical School pointed out in March. Had he acted 1 week earlier, there'd be over 31,000 more people alive. Acted 2 weeks earlier, there would have been over 50 some thousand still alive.
This caused people to die.
And what did he do the whole time? He acknowledge that if you breathed it -- it's in the air. And he won't put on a mask. He's talking about 'how it's ridiculous to put on masks.'
He says: 'What do you need social distancing for? Why have any of these rules?'
It was all about making sure the stock market didn't come down. That his wealthy friends didn't lose any money. And that he could say that in fact, anything that happened had nothing to do with him.
He waved a white flag. He walked away. He didn't do a damn thing. Think about it.
Think about what he did not do. And it's almost criminal.
[...]
Great rant Joe. In that under-stated way of yours.
Trump.DID.cause.people.to.DIE.
He didn't do a damn thing.

One little suggestion, I’d make for such responses in the future:
Get rid of the “qualifier words” like “almost” …
…
Let us know how you really feel.
Were all fed-up with the ‘fake leader’ we’ve had to deal with these last 4 years, too.
Were all ready for a real President … who DOES give a Damn.
