The day after President Trump addressed the nation about swift action being taken to combat the coronavirus, 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden appeared to try and hijack the presidency with his own hyped speech and plan to handle the COVID-19 pandemic.
He boldly posted on Twitter that, “At this moment — when there is so much fear in the country and all across the world — we need American leadership. We need presidential leadership.”
At this moment — when there is so much fear in the country and all across the world — we need American leadership. We need presidential leadership.
Today at 1:00 PM EST, I’ll be addressing the nation on how we should be moving forward to confront the #CoronavirusPandemic.
— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) March 12, 2020
During his speech, Biden regurgitated many commonsense measures already being urged, repeatedly, by health officials and the actual President Donald Trump.
“This is going to require a national, a national response,” Biden said.
He laid out the ‘radical changes” that need to be taken by society. “More frequent handwashing, staying home from work if you’re ill, but also altering deeply ingrained habits like handshaking and hugs.”
In his political maneuver that was thinly disguised as a statement of concern, Biden took predictable swipes at Trump.
“Unfortunately, this virus may bear the severe shortcomings of the current administration,” he said. “This administration is not willfully prepared for the exact crisis that we now face.”
“Our government’s ability to respond effectively have been undermined by our agencies and disparagement of science. By the damage that Trump has done to our credibility and the relationships around the world.”
The Biden team wasted no time promoting its own “plan.”
Today, I'm releasing my plan to combat the coronavirus. We need:
– A decisive public health response to curb the spread of this disease and provide treatment to those in need
– A decisive economic response that delivers real relief https://t.co/xjxsDn2qCD— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) March 12, 2020
The Trump team was quick to remind of Biden’s condemnation of early travel restrictions placed against China by the Trump administration. A bold move, that many medical experts believe staved off an immediate and greater spread of the worldwide virus.
Joe Biden opposed the China travel restrictions wisely put in place by President Trump in January – restrictions that health experts credit with slowing the spread of coronavirus & saving lives.

Biden has long been a defender of the communist nation, and his family has been under fire for shady self-dealing with China.
So you're telling me that Biden would handle China Virus better than Trump?
The guy who:
– said China travel ban was racist
– said China "not competition/threat"
– Shuttles his son to China on AF2 to get billion$ from the communists
– Let swine flu infected 61 million Americans pic.twitter.com/z9PiM8basr— Benny (@bennyjohnson) March 12, 2020
Fascinating that the same media who screamed about Trump’s business deals in Russia & how they disqualify him from being able deal with Russia are heaping praise on China Virus vs. Biden – a man who used taxpayer $ to shlepp his dipshit kid to China to get billions from commies: pic.twitter.com/Y6IKzWIyS8

In 2009 the world saw an arguably much more frightening pandemic while Biden served as Obama’s VP. But there was little panic comparably thanks to a complicit media.

THE NEWS: “The World Health Organization raised its pandemic level to the highest level, Phase 6” due to Swine Flu.
THE MARKET: Dow up 0.4% and S&P up 0.6%.

But just like that, the left gobbled it up.
Joe Biden is now the de facto President of the United States.
— Tea Pain (@TeaPainUSA) March 12, 2020
While the left praised Biden for his stolen and opportunistic moment, others who saw through the charade let him have it.
We do have leadership Joe.

Uh oh. Biden's handlers are letting him talk live again. This should be fun.

Your dementia has gotten the best of you…sorry to break it to you, you aren’t the @POTUS and will never be.
— proud veteran from a family of soldiers?? (@willo1246) March 12, 2020
Forget IT…Americans would have to be totally brain dead to listen to anything YOU have to say re #CoronaVirus Crisis, besides WTH has the time to try to figure out WTH you trying to say! YOU are NOT the POTUS, @realdonaldtrump IS @Potus and will be until Jan 20, 2025. #BACKoff

We have presidential leadership and his name is @realDonaldTrump

I’d love to see how nervous the staffer who had to tweet this actually is about the world right now

Joe Biden had a press conference today over the Coronavirus and then Bernie Sanders had one after.
They sure were mute when Trump was halting flights from China for our safety.
Too busy spewing Russia and Impeachment.
This is one big PR stunt. Not falling for it.

Even Biden’s ‘plan’ is phony, according to the Trump campaign’s rapid response director:
And yes this is a reference to Joe Biden's long, long record of plagiarizing other people's work.
He plagiarized his climate plan.
He plagiarized his education plan.
Now he's plagiarizing Trump's coronavirus plan.
That's not leadership. https://t.co/KY0kmPiaPW
