COVID: CENTER STAGE AT DEBATES

As the cover of the 20 October 2020 Trends Journal illustrates, the major theme of this year’s Presidential Reality Show^® is: “It’s the Economy, Stupid! Lock it Down or Open it Up.”

As the nation goes to the polls, “Open it Up” has become the primary Trump pitch while Biden preaches possibilities of mandatory mask wearing and stricter government actions to fight the COVID War.
President Trump has made it clear he would not shut the country down as cases rise and said he is the president that will revive the economy over the next four years. The White House issued a press release last week celebrating news about the GDP, which grew at a rate of 33.1 percent in the third quarter of 2020. The statement reported the jump is “nearly double the previous record” 70 years ago.
“He said a long, dark winter,” President Trump said at a rally in Michigan when talking about his opponent, Joe Biden. “Oh, that’s great, that’s wonderful. Just what our country needs is a long, dark winter and a leader who talks about it.”
Biden told his supporters he will not shut down the country, but he is “going to shut down the virus.”
Mask-wearing Biden has been taking a more cautious approach to the virus than no-mask wearer Trump, who teased Fox News host Laura Ingraham for wearing one to his rally in Waterford Township, MI.
“I can’t recognize you. Is that a mask? No way. Are you wearing a mask? I’ve never seen her in a mask,” Trump said. “Look at you. Oh, she’s being very politically correct. Whoa. Whoa.”
Biden has said he would try to get state leaders to agree on mask mandates.
“You and I know… the words of a president matter. No matter whether they’re good, bad or indifferent, they matter. And when a president doesn’t wear a mask, or makes fun of folks, like me, when I was wearing a mask for a long time, then people say, ‘Well, it mustn’t be that important,’” Biden said at a town hall earlier this month.
TRENDPOST: As we have continually reported, and have again in this Trends Journal, the masks the vast majority of the public wear are ineffective in spreading and/or catching the virus. Yet, this fact is continually ignored by the Presstitutes.
Furthermore, while Biden says that if elected he is “going to shut down the virus,” he has not stated how he will do it… and the mainstream media has not asked him for his plan on how he would.
