Perceived Media Bias Against Trump
Many perceive a clear bias against President Trump in the media. This sentiment was strongly echoed on Fox and Friends this morning. The upcoming debates will be moderated by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, who are often accused of harboring a negative stance towards Trump. The concern is that they may skew the debate in favor of Biden, making him appear better than Trump. While this seems unfair, it’s a reality that Trump must prepare for.
Potential Unfair Advantage for Biden
There are concerns about Biden’s team receiving undue advantages. We can recall the 2016 incident involving Donna Brazile, then interim DNC chairwoman, who was allegedly caught sharing debate questions with Hillary Clinton beforehand. WikiLeaks revealed that Brazile had emailed Clinton’s team specific questions prior to a Democratic debate. Even though she denied it, many believe the evidence was irrefutable. Could something similar be happening now? It wouldn’t be surprising if suspicions arose about Biden’s team having an unfair head start.
The Media’s Alleged Low Expectations for Biden
Many argue that the media has set incredibly low expectations for Biden. Senior Trump adviser Jason Miller expressed this sentiment succinctly: if Biden can merely stand upright for 90 minutes, the media would reward him with a participation trophy. Meanwhile, Trump is expected to perform flawlessly. This perceived double standard is frustrating for many, but it seems to be the current narrative.
Questioning Biden’s Track Record
Trump should concentrate on questioning Biden’s track record. With 50 years in politics, Biden has a lengthy career to scrutinize. From the crisis in Afghanistan to the border issue, Biden has faced numerous challenges. Trump should bring these issues into focus during the debate, shedding light on his opponent’s past performance.
Trump’s Debate Strategy
Trump needs to be sharp and alert. He should challenge any perceived media bias as it happens. When Tapper or Bash pose a potentially biased question, he should immediately confront it. This strategy could not only rally his base but also enlighten undecided voters about the alleged bias. Trump has always been adept at speaking directly to the American people, and he needs to continue doing so.
Potential VP Announcement
Rumors are circulating about Trump announcing his VP pick before the debates. This could be a strategic move that would dominate headlines and put Biden on the defensive. Someone like Tim Scott or J.D. Vance could be potential choices. As someone known for his surprise moves, this could be another masterstroke from Trump.
Rallying Support
In the lead-up to the debate, Trump should hold rallies in key states. These events are high-energy and demonstrate his significant support base. The enthusiasm from these rallies will carry over into the debate. The stark contrast between Biden’s low-key approach and Trump’s dynamic engagement with people could work in Trump’s favor.
Dealing with Allegedly Biased Moderators
Trump needs to prepare for potentially biased questions from Tapper and Bash. He should redirect every question towards Biden’s perceived failures. If they ask about COVID-19, Trump should discuss how Biden’s policies have negatively impacted small businesses. If foreign policy comes up, Trump should critique Biden’s handling of Afghanistan. Every response should highlight perceived weaknesses in Biden’s leadership.
Preparing for the Debate
Trump’s team needs to stay focused and disciplined. Each appearance and statement should reinforce the narrative that Biden is unfit to lead. They need to anticipate all possible questions and have concise, clear responses ready. The debate is a battle, and Trump needs to enter it prepared.
Biden’s Alleged Unpreparedness
Despite the perceived advantages Biden receives, many believe he is still not ready. Even with extensive preparation from his team, some argue that he cannot conceal his lack of capability. Trump should seize this opportunity to make Biden uncomfortable, press him on specifics, and demonstrate to the American people that Biden may be out of his depth.
Final Thoughts
The debates are more than just political theater—they’re a fight for America’s future. Despite facing a system many believe is rigged against him, Trump can still triumph if he remains focused and challenges any perceived bias. He needs to highlight Biden’s alleged weaknesses and demonstrate why he is the superior choice for America.
