Has Biden lost Harris the election?
A comedian at a Trump rally referred to Puerto Rico as an island of garbage. This was very unhelpful to Trump as 100,000 people from Puerto Rico live in the vital swing state of Pennsylvania.
But then Joe Biden blunders in and says that the only garbage he sees are Trump supporters. The only thing more stupid than insulting 100,000 swing state voters is insulting half the electorate.
The White House amended the transcript to add an apostrophe so they could claim Biden meant only one supporter of Trump (the comedian) not all of them, but the damage is done. In an election that will come down to turnout, he has energised Trump’s base in a way which will enrage the Harris campaign.
And Trump is a genius when it comes to stunts, so today he turned up to a rally like this:
A genius troll move.
In just 48 hours an issue which may have cost Trump a swing state, has not turned into a plus for him thanks to Joe Biden. Bet you we won’t be seeing him in public again for the next six days!
