The “mainstream media” or the “FAKE NEWS” media as President Donald Trump like to call them, continues to run cover and refuse to report many of the troubling gaffes that vice president Joe Biden continues to make.
In a tweet, President Trump stated the obvious.
“If I ever said something so mortifyingly stupid, the Fake News Media would come down on me with a vengeance,” tweeted Trump “This is beyond a normal mistake. Why isn’t the media reporting it?”
Trump is referring to Biden’s misstep in saying that 120 million Americans have died as a result of being infected with the COVID-19 virus. There have only been 122,000 virus-related deaths in the U.S.

“People don’t have a job, people don’t know where to go, they don’t know what to do,” Biden said. “Now we have over 120 million dead from COVID.”
Biden’s latest gaffe fuels the narrative that he is not in the right state of mind to run the country. Trump has been beating the mental instability drum for some time, but so have Democrats.
Is Biden fit to lead?
