(18,837 posts)2. The "story" Trump wants to tell is far from an "imbroglio."
It's a story that neither Biden nor his son want to tell, but it's not a "career-ending scandal," and Trump is trying to deflect and turn it into exactly that.
I'm not Joe Biden, I can't speak for him, but if I were in the same shoes, I'd feel that the issue is that Trump is attempting to bully him, and that will go on for only so long.
There are two things we don't know today.
We don't know if Biden will become the Democratic candidate for president.
We don't know that Trump will agree to participate in debates with the Democratic candidate.
But if it is Joe, and if Trump shows up for the debates, Biden will flatten him.
And Trump knows this.
