(145,619 posts)17. The serious point at the heart of Biden's latest anti-Trump joke
President Joe Biden seemed pleased to needle Donald Trump over his 2020 disinfectant fiasco, but there appears to be a larger strategy behind the humor.

On the four-year anniversary of Trumps bizarre rhetoric, President Joe Biden was only too pleased to draw attention to the incident, and a day later, the incumbent Democrat reemphasized the story anew. The New York Times reported:
A video of the comments suggested that Biden enjoyed both making the joke and the enthusiastic response from his audience.
.....But just below the surface, theres probably a larger strategy unfolding.
For his part, the presumptive GOP nominee has largely avoided talking about Covid lately, especially as Biden has started talking about it more. Consider the presidents rhetoric during an event in Scranton, Pennsylvania, last week:
By some measures, at the heart of the 2024 presidential race is a memory test for the American electorate: Will voters remember Trumps many failures? Will they recall the many reasons they voted him out of office in the first place?
Bidens job isnt just to celebrate his accomplishments and denounce Trumps regressive and radical plans. Its also to combat amnesia and refresh memories.
The disinfectant joke, in other words, checks more than one box
On Air Force One, on social media and from the presidential lectern, President Biden has homed in on the infamous moment one that crystallized the chaos of the Trump presidency as he trolls his political opponent. Remember when he was trying to deal with Covid, he said just inject a little bleach in your veins? Mr. Biden said on Wednesday after picking up the endorsement of North Americas Building Trades Unions. He missed it. It all went to his hair.

[W]hen the pandemic hit, Trump failed the most basic duty any president owes the American people: a duty to care and a duty to respond. Remember when he told us, Dont worry; this will all be over by Easter? Remember when he told us, literally, inject bleach? ... Think about it. Because he failed to care, not only did people die, but millions of Americans lost their jobs, their homes, their livelihoods.
