Trump flips out after Fox’s Chris Wallace tells him Joe Biden doesn’t support defunding police

Although I bet any random Biden staffer would be running at least even with Trump in most swing states at this point..

 

So that they can support the military industrial complex by supplying cops with military toys.

 

His first sentence said Biden campaign. When it says Biden campaign it absolutely implied to mean Biden.

 

Why the hell would Trump agree to talk to Chris Wallace in the first place? He might as well be interviewed by Shifty Adam Schiff or Nancy Pelosi.

 

The closest I have ever seen biden agree to defund the police us when he said that we should redirect some of the funds meant for purchasing excess military equipment. And that wasn't even meant to say that the funds wouldn't still go to the poloce. Just that it wouldn't be ear marked for that purpose.

 

I don't think that classifies as flipping out or coming unglued, but he certainly wasn't happy. I'd like to see the rest of the interview ... the part that took place after an aid provided Trump with the Biden-Sanders charter. The most surprising thing would have been seeing Donald Trump actually reading something.

I wish the Democrats had used a better phrase than "defund the police." Too many nincompoops think that means abolishing police departments, which isn't true at all. Maybe "reorganize the police" or "repurpose the police," either of which would be closer to what progressives are trying to accomplish.

 

I was actually wondering the exact opposite.... Wallace is a reasonably class act and Trump is a circus act... I bet Dad Mike would have kept his dignity back in the day and passed on this interview....

 

Do you just want trump to remain in a padded cell?

Me too.

 

I think a lot of people are pointing to this video and saying "Trump lied again". I think this video proves the exact opposite. When Wallace corrects Trump on the statement that Biden wants to de-fund the police I think Trump 100% believes it. He calls on a staffer to get the charter to prove his point. That is not the actions of a liar. He fully expected to be vindicated with the document.

I think the more likely scenario is he got it wrong and remembered it differently. Trump is 74 old. I have found when dealing with elderly relatives that they often mix up facts when they get older. They start calling all the grandchildren by the wrong names and the mix up the events of the past or attribute it to the wrong person or setting. Trump is correct that there are many on the left that want to de-fund the police he just attributed it to the wrong person. I am sure in his mind he believed 100% what he said was true. He must have been devastated when he didn't find it in the document.

This is another example of why we need to implement age limits for political office. I still think a 65 year age limit is a good cut off. Can't run after that age.

 

Good word, redirected. Dumbazz Dems used a phrase that many people think is synonomous with "abolish."

 

Exactly.

In other news, fire is hot.

 

He believes that not testing for the virus means we'll have fewer infections. Tillerson was right.

 

Well, that isn't half as bad as 'democratic socialism' which really isn't socialism.

 

Trump redirected funds for the military to the border wall. That does not mean Trump de-funded the military.

 

Is it "anti-cop" to favor redirecting some police funding to alternative methods of policing, and to change the entire attitude of "us vs everyone who isn't police" that has become so ingrained in our police forces?

 

Ahh, the old 'my candidate does it, and so does yours' defense.

Sorry, that doesn't work around here.

 

I disagree. Trump is self-destructing more than usual. Biden doesn't have to say much of anything, and he certainly doesn't need to lie about Trump. Just stand back and let him unravel.

 

Well, by your logic Trump is defunding the military, given that he redirected military funds.

 

Yeah, show some courage, talk only to sycophants.

 

It's essentially the same thing, it's grasping at straws. The Left in general, wants a 'softer' policing, whether that be with the full defeund, or a partial strip down.

 

Okay, he's not a liar, he's incompetent, and that's worse.

 

I do actually thank Chris Wallace to this day for the third debate, he managed that debate far better than the other two and made it actually watchable. I'd love to have an interview with him as I feel he's fair and balanced.

 

If you are referring to the border wall, that too is a matter of national security. And no one on the right is clamoring for defunding the military or toppling our national identity in the process as the left is doing. Admit it, Biden is playing to the mobs, the subversives and all their foreign handlers. The left is playing with fire.

 

So, by your logic, when Trump redirected funds destined for the military elsewhere, we can say he defunded the military.

Got it.

 

I have a problem with some of the items on this little list (wow, golly gee, six lies?)

1. Trump wasn't referring to Dems politicizing the virus response, he was referring to the Dems sounding alarms about it. Since Trump had no idea of what to actually do, he chose to do nothing (as usual) and blame it all on the left (as usual).

2. The CDC's test kits were faulty, which is why they weren't used. But since this has been the Trump administration's CDC, some blame does fall on the administration's shoulders for the poor response in making tests available, which continues today. Trump could have (and still could) use the Defense Production Act to get biomanufacturers up and running to create more tests, as well as getting more labs set up so that we could get test results in a timely manner.

3. They gotta be effing kidding. If, as Morrison claims, the reorganization of our response teams "made America’s biodefense response even stronger" then what the hell happened? We're worse off right now than we were in mid-April, and it's getting worse daily. Stronger response, my butt.

5. (Number 4 would take too much of my time to verify, so y'all can have that one.) Trump did, in fact, tell states they were on their own, just not in those words. Back them up? Bee ess ... what the administration did was to promptly get FEMA out there bidding against state efforts to obtain PPE and ventilators. Some help that was!

6. You can have that one, two, with one tiny little point: Trump did give many of the best and most experienced epidemiologists and other virus experts the boot from the CDC and replaced then mostly with sycophants eager to please his majesty. Their budget may well be 7% higher than under Obama, but they are seriously short on staff, and during a pandemic, that ain't good.
