This administration is the problem.

AND HOW BROTHER.

[@MarkPedigo-by5xf]

ITS A MUST WIN SITUATION

[@nursejulie3636]

Just last week you stated it time to put Trump in the bullseye Democratic Party and Media been demonizing this man for years.

[@gcharb2d]

Last I checked, he didn't call for his assassination, and even if he did, doesn't he have total immunity, at least according to tRump's lawyers and tRump's Supreme Court?

[@xINTENSORx]

True

[@loub.7557]

Truth

[@user-wo4kn6ge6j]

Mr. President, perhaps you should lead by example and take back last Monday's comment about putting a target on Trump. Then you could tell you supporters to stop referring to Trump supporters as MAGA right wing, fascist, white supremecists. Then stop saying that Trump would end democracy in America.

[@Meechy256]

Nahh you and your constituents compared Donald Trump to Hitler, you guys facilitated this.

[@stevem1218]

This was not a smart speech, lumping all these events together and playing politics is not what the UNITED States needs right now. Mr. Biden you sir have lost!

[@xINTENSORx]

I'm honestly surprised he didn't talk about his son's death.

[@rustyshackleford4942]

Why does he only talk for 5 minutes a time?

[@thadcraft6415]

His train of thought is much shorter like his attention span 😂😂😂

[@slypperyfox]

Maybe he can’t talk more than 5 minutes at a time. Or read more than 5 words per minute. Or they quit putting instructions into the teleprompter because o’biden actually reads the instructions such as [end of paragraph] or [exit stage left] [that’s your right but to the left of the audience] {someone move the stairs to the other side of the stage . . . No, no rush, it’s o’biden walking}

I already noticed one thing: Brandon wouldn't say "President Trump." He only said "former Trump." He's not being sincere or taking this seriously. He's still being disrespectful.

He said the ´right´things, but most of us won´t believe it´s sincerel. Unity is the most important thing? He campaigned on that and then did nothing more than to make more of a division.
