Trump says he's open to speaking to Biden about coronavirus

[RandySF]

President Trump on Wednesday said he would “absolutely” take a call from former vice president and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden to discuss the response to the coronavirus.

“Oh absolutely. I’d love to speak to him,” Trump said during a White House coronavirus briefing.

“I always found him to be a nice guy,” he added.

Trump expressed an openness to speaking with his potential general election opponent after first chiding him as "sleepy Joe."

The Biden campaign said earlier Wednesday that the former vice president offered to call Trump and talk about how best to combat the pandemic, which has killed thousands of Americans.

1. Hopefully not in person.

I still think MF45 is a carrier...he just hasn’t been tested.

[bucolic_frolic]

2. Trump knows he's in deep trouble and in over his head

No bluster? No 'sleepy Joe'? No anger, and partisanship? Should tell you something.

[Thekaspervote]

3. Dotard is up to something, what ever it is, it isn't anything good

[SheltieLover]

35. Well stated!

K&R

[Cattledog]

4. Don't take any call Joe.

[Mr.Bill]

5. Joe should say he would be willing to talk to him

right after he resigns.

[Hoyt]

6. Now, Biden almost has to call. Before, there wasn't much for Biden to gain unless

Biden tried to slap sense into trump.

Did a reporter ask that stupid question?

[TomSlick]

7. I agree with the distrust of Trump expressed above.

Nevertheless, VP Biden is a life-long public servant. Public servants put the interests of the country above their personal political interests.

He should talk with Trump in hopes of doing some good for the rest of us. However, he should record the call.

[Nikki28]

8. I could

not trust him as far as I am throw him. If I were Biden, I will have it on recording and speaker because he does not like the idea of anyone smarter from Obama team telling him how to do the right thing . He will lie and that is why the call should be on recording. I am calling it now. :It is a trap". Run Joe run!!! Man I wish Biden was already in the white house with Jill.Jesus take the wheel.

[sop]

27. Yeah, definitely record the conversation, but don't let Trump know.

Then, after he lies his ass off about it, release the recording to the press.

[Cha]

9. April Fool?

[BidenBacker]

10. LOL...good one

Trump says he's open to speaking to Biden about coronavirus

Right after he gets done releasing his tax returns, testifying in front of Mueller and delivering millions of non-existent test kits and respirators.

Better take a number and have a seat, Joe. It may be quite a wait!

[The Magistrate]

13. True, Sir, The Critter's Word Ain't Worth a Confederate Dollar

"To live outside the law you must be honest."

[Mr.Bill]

11. I can tell you with 100% certainty

that I have more important things to worry about.

[dweller]

12. don't waste your breath Joe

there's nothing you can learn from fatnixon

✌🏼

[Journeyman]

14. Oh, he'll speak to Biden, sure, but will he listen? . . .

[IcyPeas]

15. Lucy's gonna move that football

Don't do it.

[George II]

16. He's fucking delirious. All he does is talk to sound "good". Like the fact that Seoul....

....has 38M people. South Korea only has about 50M people total!

[SlimJimmy]

34. Seoul metropolitan area has about 35 million

Let's not fall into that trap. He wasn't referring to the city of Seoul only. I thought the same as you until it was explained to me about the number Orange man cited.

[SouthernCal_Dem]

17. Don't do it, Joe

Ignore the Dotard and hammer away relentlessly.

He needs to be buried.

[rockfordfile]

26. I agree

[thegoose]

18. Fuck you

Lying orange piece of shit. Joe, don't buy this conjob's shit. You know what he's trying to do.

[tirebiter]

19. "What Barack said"

I’m sure Donald took notes

[Tetrachloride]

20. Trump should be speaking to Pelosi and the rest of the Congress. The plot toward Joe Biden is a red

herring, as usual.

[BlueIdaho]

21. But is he open to listening to him?

The only thing that will save America is if Shitler shuts his pie hole listens to a real leader.

[UncleNoel]

22. Make the call public, on video from Joe's studio.

Let the world see the voice of calm assurance versus the jpanic of the incapable idiot!

[tirebiter]

23. Another quid pro quo call?

Start with an apology, Donnie. Then keep a 27' social distance

[efhmc]

24. Please Joe say away. Stay much more than 6 feets away.

Stay states and maybe even continents away.

[George II]

25. As kids like to say these days, "talk to the hand!"

[sprinkleeninow]

28. Ignore thee ignoramus. Say go fry ice..

[demgrrrll]

29. I know these people. He will do something stupid and tell everyone Joe told him to do it.

Tape recording of the conversation would be essential. No tape no conversation.

[Walleye]

30. He's just trying to drag Joe in to share his failure.

Like he always drags people into his lies.

[33taw]

31. Trying to blame someone else.

[Dan]

32. The only reason Trump wants to talk with Biden

Is so that he can then say, Biden and I are in agreement that this is what we must do.

Then when ship hits the fan, he can then say - he was following the advice that Biden gave him.

Talking to Trump is a waste of time and Biden should not initiate a call to Trump. Make Trump call him and at the same time, ensure that Nancy (and a few other leaders) are part of the conference call. But ultimately, sad to say this - Biden would and should say “Trump, you are the president, now why not share your plans with us”. Sorry, I wouldn’t give Trump a lifeline. Lives by the sword and die by the sword (of hate, distrust, lying, blaming others).

33. That would have been a completely different answer if Hannity had asked
