Washington:
Donald Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic has been “erratic”, as has his presidency, said his Democratic challenger Joe Biden, calling the US president’s leadership “chaotic and divisive” which has cost Americans far too much. .
The former vice president said Trump is playing games with people’s lives and that “the only top Donald Trump seems to care” is himself.
“His handling of this pandemic has been erratic, as has his presidency. And it has kept the elderly of Florida and people across the country from getting the help they need,” Joe Biden said during a campaign event in Florida on Tuesday.
Florida is a state of the battlefield that was won by Trump in the 2016 election.
According to Real Clear Politics, which tracks major opinion polls, Biden leads the state by 3.7 percentage points. However, Trump has drawn thousands of people to his Florida campaign rallies, despite coronavirus social distancing measures in place.
Biden claimed Trump just was unwilling to do the job.
“I think it’s beyond that, I’m not sure he cares about providing any real help. I think it’s both. People say he doesn’t want to do the job. Well, I don’t think he cares much, “he told me.
“While you waste precious time with your loved ones, he got stuck in a sand trap at one of his golf courses. When he decides to lift a finger, it’s not to help you. This is to propose new tax cuts. This is not hyperbole. America’s 100 richest billionaires are expected to get another $ 30 billion tax cut that he is proposing, ”he said.
“We know what happened the last time a tax cut was passed when he took office. Pharmaceutical companies have obtained billions of dollars in tax breaks. Then they turned around and raised the prices of the drugs you rely on to stay healthy. do it again even during the pandemic. Frankly, this is unacceptable, ”Biden said.
But Trump doesn’t really care about cutting the cost of health care because he’s beholden to health insurance companies and drug companies, he said.
“After all, he’s asking the Supreme Court of the United States as I speak, he’s now asking to strike down the entire affordable care law that would take away the ability of the elderly – everyone – most of them. you are on Medicare – but that would eliminate your ability – and this act that we took, ”Biden said.
“I was able to help set it up was that you would have preventative services, annual checkups and free mammograms as part of Medicare. If it’s canceled, that will go away too,” he said. said, adding that rising prescription drug prices for millions of seniors have put Medicare trust funds at risk.

All Trump can do is play games with people’s lives, he said, adding that the president has turned his back on educators and schoolchildren, as well as workers whose jobs don’t. have not returned.
“He thinks he’s still on his game show,” Biden said of Trump’s various positions on the next stimulus package and attempts to give seniors a cut on prescription drugs ahead of the election.
“Donald Trump’s chaotic and confrontational leadership has cost us too much,” he said.
Biden said he prayed for Trump’s recovery when the president received COVID-19, but Trump “doubled down on the misinformation.”
“He was talking about you. He was talking about your family,” Biden said of Trump’s comment that COVID “hardly affects anyone.”
“You are consumable. You are practically no one … That’s how he sees you,” he said.
Biden said the Trump campaign “deliberately lied” by putting Anthony Fauci in an ad in a way that implies Fauci was praising Trump.
“How many empty chairs are there around the dining room table tonight because of his neglect?” Biden said of Trump.
As the President throws super spreader events at the White House, how many of you haven’t been able to see your grandchildren? He asked.
The only senior Trump cares about is senior Donald Trump, he said.
