'Mr. President, wake up': Emboldened Biden trashes Trump's pandemic response

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Joe Biden on Wednesday unloaded on President Donald Trump, bashing his response to the coronavirus pandemic as an example of failed leadership that amounts to “flat out surrendering” the fight against the disease.

“Mr. President, wake up. Get to work,” Biden said at an in-person campaign event in Darby, Pa., just outside Philadelphia. “There’s so much more to be done.”

The presumptive Democratic nominee’s specific sleep-themed dig at Trump was a counterpunch similar to the president's preferred insulting nickname for Biden: “Sleepy Joe."

Biden’s remarks to a small group of socially distant reporters and local lawmakers at an indoor hall, had been billed as a speech that would focus on how to safely reopen the U.S. economy amid the pandemic.

1. Embolden? Biden has been doing this for a while.

3. I think they mean he's been even more emboldened by recent polls.

But you're right.

This has literally been Biden's message for pretty much his entire campaign - do your job, Mr. President or the people will elect me to do it instead of you.

4. I do not like it because it is to implying only starting to be forceful because of polls. Not true.

2. Stop calling him 'Mr. President'

Everyone - just stop.

It makes me sick to hear him addressed that way.

5. I agree. Biden is addressing Trump not the office of POTUS.

If he called me Sleepy Joe, I would call him Dopey Don.
