Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has accused President Donald Trump of endangering those who attend his rallies while restricting his own exposure, presenting the former genuine real estate developer as a ruthless leader who ignores the interests of the average person.
Highlighting recent claims through a White House pandemic adviser who alleged that Trump denigrated his supporters, Biden accused the president of not being concerned about the working-class electorate that shapes the basis of his support.
“The fact is, it never really gave us much reputation,” said the former vice president on a scale in Mantiwoc, Wisconsin, a key state in transition.
“Oh, he loves his rallies. And the next time I do one, take a smart look. Trump helps keep his distance from anyone at a rally. The people who come, are as crowded as they can, risking the disease for the maximum component without a mask. But it Trump. Il it helps to keep your distance safely, ” he said. “For Trump, those rallies are about entertainment (and) worship. They’re not a matter of respect, yourself. It’s a one-way street. “
In her speech in which she noted that the total number of coronavirus deaths in the United States exceeded 200,000, Biden cited the claims of Olivia Troye, who served as an adviser to Vice President Mike Pence, who presides over the pandemic reaction effort at the White House.
Last week, Troye said he once heard Trump denigrate participants in his rallies at an organization meeting: “Maybe this COVID thing is a smart thing,” he recalls. “I don’t like shaking people’s hands. I don’t have to shake hands. with those disgusting people. ” His comments were used through Trump’s enemies in a new political announcement.

“He sees the world from Park Avenue, ” said Biden. ” I see it from where I grew up in a city like this, in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Hardcrabble, a working city like this and so many others in Wisconsin. . When I look at the global Park Avenue, all you can see is Wall Street. “
