“Hold on,” you say. “Biden isn’t president, Trump is.”
Let me help you out. Trump’s main campaign argument is this: “You see all this horrible stuff going on right now? If you elect Joe Biden, the horrible things happening in America right now will happen.”
Granted, people who grasp concepts like chronology and object permanence will struggle with the logic behind that argument. It sounds like Trump and his groupies are saying the country is a mess right now, but that mess isn’t Trump’s fault, it’s the fault of Biden if he wins the election three months from now.
Gosh, this isn’t getting any easier to explain.
What’s funny is that all the stuff he said in 2016, shortly before he got the job of president, is effectively the same stuff he’s saying now, in 2020, after four years on the job.
So to be clear
President Trump’s straightforward reelection message to voters is this: America, if Joe Biden is elected, will be exactly the kind of crime-ridden cesspool America is right now thanks to the current administration of Joe Biden
