So much chatter about WH aides/generals/valets/VPs all having or not having positive or not positive tests or isolating or not isolating at the moment that it's difficult to get any idea what's going on in Trump's WH world. What is clear though, is that he and the WH are now scared.
He's been tweeting like mad again this morning and there's a Rose Garden presser at 4pm (EST) today I believe. Wonder if he'll now be wrapped in cling film and stood behind a Perspex screen whilst pretending it's what his security insists on and nothing to do with him...?
Biden finally beginning to stir? - summary from The Guardian:
Former vice president Joe Biden, the Democratic nominee for president, penned an op-ed in The Washington Post this morning titled: “How the White House coronavirus response presents us with a false choice.” The editorial gives us a preview of how Biden intends to make testing – and the White House’s access to it – a major issue on the campaign trail.
In the op-ed, Biden accuses Trump of attempting to “split the country into dueling camps, casting Democrats as doomsayers hoping to keep America grounded and Republicans as freedom fighters trying to liberate the economy.”
“The Trump administration could focus on producing and distributing adequate testing and protocols that conform with the guidance of public health experts; doing so would speed up the reopening process considerably and make it a whole lot more effective. ...
“The administration is fully aware that this is the right path, too — after all, the president and his staff are now reportedly receiving daily tests. They knew exactly how to make the Oval Office safe and operational, and they put in the work to do it. They just haven’t put in that same work for the rest of us. If Trump and his team understand how critical testing is to their safety — and they seem to, given their own behavior — why are they insisting that it’s unnecessary for the American people?”
The editorial from Biden comes as the Trump re-election campaign is expected to unload a new series of attacks on their opponent after holding back due to the coronavirus pandemic.
