Of course and how do we know he didnt get the questions beforehand ??

[@user-tv7un4bt9e]

@@Coral-reef. of course Biden did so he’s ready to answer those questions like what they did to Hillary when Trump debated her in CNN years back the truth came out Hillary knew George defends Joe so many times on tv Biden is not ready so answer lots of questions he got confused dementia is a disease it’s an on and off event so if you cheat you pay a huge price for it God knows and that’s exactly what’s happening here

All of Jamaica got hit with the hurricane so why is he just going to some area. The poor people need money in the community to buy food. There are more elderly people out there who do not have shelter right now who need to have shelter and food. The government (YOU) is not moving fast enough. The JDS need to be dropping water and food over the island. Why is curfew on the people when the people are the one cleaning up the island? NOT the Government. Where is the JDS the need to be out giving out food and water and cleaning up the island. Hope I can see this going by today 7/5/24

I lived in Vegas for a year. I remember one day when I went to Home Center and it was 105. I was so uncomfortable. I can't imagine 119. Only experienced 110 once in Phoenix. Brutal! They say it is dry heat. But at that level, you can die.

The president does not work 9-5, you can’t just cut your hours back. Step back old man and let young and strong run this poor country.

trump is neither strong nor young also. What is wrong with you?

[@graymatters2]

So who's young and strong?

[@Omni0404]

This is a willful misinterpretation. He said he wasn't going to schedule campaign events late; not that he wouldn't be doing his job as president 24/7. That would be like saying "How could Trump be president when he was at his golf course?"

It looks that a way

[@sookie_the_fairy]

The dawn of American democracy didn’t come in 1776, with the Declaration of Independence. It didn’t come in 1788, when the Constitution was ratified by the states, or in 1789, when George Washington took office. The symbolic birth of our system of government didn’t come until its noble ideals were actually put to the test. On September 19, 215 years ago, Washington published his farewell address, marking one of the first peaceful transfers of power in American history and cementing the country’s status as a stable, democratic state. This moment was crucial for creating the in-and-out system of government that we have. And this is unique. In that time and era, politicians would gain power, or kings would stay in office until they die. At that stage in American history, before precedents such as the two-term limit were even set, many were uncertain about what would happen after a galvanizing figure like Washington resigned office. But at this critical juncture, the leadership of Washington and others proved more than adequate to preserve the democracy. “Stepping down from power is unique..” “It’s a powerful statement about Washington and American democracy..” Donald Trump is just another test for us... (This article was written in 2011 by the Smithsonian Institute..) Written before Trump was in office.. This seems very fitting now in 2024.. Cheers fellow humans!! 😎🤘🇺🇸♥️

Interviews are never done live. Also, he probably did get the questions in advance. If I was president I would make that a condition to interview me. If they declined, I'd ask another network and I bet they'd be fine with it.

Acts 8:37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Corinthians 15:3-4 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. , ,

The "interview" will be a scripted, edited, softball campaign event, processed to portray exactly what the Administration wants people to believe (and that fewer and fewer actually do). We need a LIVE, unscripted event in which the President takes questions. Otherwise, it's just more cover-up.
