If true, this bad news for Biden is made way worse because he seems to have no idea that this might even be a problem–‘Hey, the job numbers are good! Everyone should be happy! I should be sailing to reelection!’ https://t.co/Il9Iy7QRc7

Above all I think the average viewer won’t be able to make any sense at all of what Trump meant after viewing these clip fragments. Not like Biden’s got him with smoking gun.
Mainly the viewer will notice that Biden seems really old. Hard to believe pros put this together. https://t.co/XhsXRtYleJ

I think Trump was specifically NOT saying what Biden suggests he was saying: that the bill made it easier to secure the border and that’s why he (Trump) opposed it. He’s saying the bill made it easier to let in millions and that’s why he opposed it. Again, you make the call>… https://t.co/ccBnKdROGf https://t.co/7IPqqwANZ3

Odd on many levels. #1 the bill *did* say 5,000/day, not 5,000/week-which Trump eventually notes (Biden cuts off the video). #2 Pretty clearly Trump meant the bill made it easier for loose-borders advocates-“the opposing side.” That’s only “America” if America wants loose… https://t.co/bc60hLcEkB https://t.co/XSZDLiPgVm

This is bizarre on many levels. #1 is that the bill did say 5,000 a day, not 5,000 a week, contrary to what Trump says. (It would require a 7 day average of 5000 per day, according to the bill summary). https://t.co/XSZDLiPgVm

It’s not the notes. It’s the pre-screening of questions–from donors!–with the answers pre-written on the notes. Gives the impression of someone who can’t deal with spontaneous queries. Event totally scripted and staged. Did Obama need that? Anyway that’s why it’s a story. https://t.co/zXOgRhxvly

I can’t get through a 10 minute podcast without notes. If I had time I’d put them on cards. But pre-screening (and pre-answering) donor questions seems weird. Bill Clinton and Obama didn’t need that, did they? Did Biden need that in 2020? https://t.co/dWxF9OMrKk

Is this a consequence of Biden administration’s request that Mexico tamp down the migration? One result of farming out the job: No fingerprints. Another result: Mexico may do it via harsher means than we would like (some even worse than ‘kids in cages’). https://t.co/wxHVOnhogr
