More of the same, though less bluster from Trump. Some important points.
Trump doesn't realize that Americans are no longer afraid of "socialist medicine," as they have become aware of how effective it is in every other civilized country. Trump also claims that 180 million Americans are happy with their health insurance. This number has probably gone down, as many people have lost their jobs and therefore their insurance, but in any case I don't believe most people are "happy" with their insurance, with constant refusals to pay doctors -- in the hope that most people won't contest it and even if they do it might be sent to collection and harm one's credit -- along with high deductibles and co-pays. In any case Biden wants to expand on Obamacare with a public option, not to switch to single-payer healthcare, though I hope personally that will eventually lead to single-payer.
No matter how many times Trump is debunked he still claims that Biden, via his son Hunter, is corrupt. Trump has "forgotten" his own attempt to extort Ukraine by withholding aid until they prove wrongdoing on the part of the Bidens. Meanwhile Trump continues to make money with the help of his presidency.
Trump continues to claim that "we are turning the corner on Covid-19," even though spikes continue everywhere, and not just in cities and states with Democratic mayors and governors. And Trump continues to insist that schools open, even though many of those that have opened have had to close again because of the virus.
Trump claims he has done more for Blacks than any other president, with the possible exception of Lincoln, as he continues his dog whistles to suburban women and others.
Trump claims that a successful economy will "bring people together" while Biden says he will be president for everyone from every state, not just red or blue.
