When news broke about Donald Trump’s taxes (or lack thereof)—a few of you asked me to break it down with my friend @KatiePorterOC.
So I gave her a call:
Jill and I wish a happy Mid-Autumn Festival to all those celebrating. We join you in hoping for a future filled with peace and prosperity — and hope your festivities lead to a bountiful harvest in the year ahead.
When I first ran for Senate, we put up a billboard that said, “Joe Biden: For all our families.”
It’s a motto that has guided me throughout my career.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a Democrat or Republican—I’ll be a president for all Americans, not just the ones who vote for me.
Donald Trump will do everything he can to distract from the fact that because of his failed COVID-19 response:
- Over 200,000 Americans have died
- 26 million are on unemployment
- 1 in 6 small businesses risk permanent closure
We can’t let him.
I can imagine no other president in my lifetime failing to address the nation in a prime time speech during a crisis such as this. On the other hand, I cannot imagine another president whose words would be less welcome by so many of his fellow citizens.
Trump in a call with governors says "most of you are weak" and demands a tougher response. That's sort of like an arsonist blaming the fire department.
