Joe Biden Has Advice For Trump. He's Trying To Get Him On The Phone.

[still_one]

Expand the use of the Defense Production Act, assign a manager for testing coordination, and other things Biden wants to tell Trump.

e Biden hopes to soon get on the phone with President Donald Trump to discuss the federal government’s response to the novel coronavirus pandemic, telling reporters Thursday his team is working with the White House to set up a call between the two.
Biden said Thursday he was “happy to hear” that Trump, at a White House briefing earlier this week, said he was willing to take a call with him and “would love to speak with him, sure.”
Biden, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, is calling on Trump to expand use of the Defense Production Act to not just spur the manufacturing of ventilators, but also to supply personal protective equipment for frontline health workers and to install personnel specifically tasked with allocating available tests and medical equipment to states.
States have been consistently reporting testing and equipment shortages, despite Trump’s assurances at his press briefings that no such issues are occurring.
“Use your full authority,” Biden said during a live-streamed video press conference, directing his comments to Trump. “This is a war. Act like a commander in chief. Use it all.”

......

“I’m not doing this to criticize,” Biden said. “I understand if he doesn’t want to take my advice, but it won’t be a, ‘I told you so Mr. President.’... This is beyond politics right now. Projections I get in the morning when I talk with the docs that I talk with could be really dire. We are talking about a lot of people potentially dying.”

1. After what Trump tried to manufacture in Ukraine?

Beware. It could be a trap.

4. It may be a good strategy

It could be hairy to criticize the President at a crisis point while there is still a high level of danger. However, offering him "advice" that essentially doe the same thing might just play better while also pointing out how he is messing up while also showing that you have better solutions.

11. The only way Trump will ever take a phone call from Biden

is if Joe uses a fake Russian accent and pretends to be Putin.

Biden said Thursday he was “happy to hear” that Trump, at a White House briefing earlier this week, said he was willing to take a call with him and “would love to speak with him, sure.”

I gotta believe Biden knows better by now and is probably just playing some kinda psych game with Trump and is calling his bluff. Joe's gotta realize that Drumpf doesn't listen to anybody else because he's smarter than everybody else. How many times before has this assclown said he's "willing" to do this or that and never once came through on his blatant bullshit? I've lost count.
