The news that President Joe Biden would not run for re-election caused a stir not only in America, but also in Russia, where pro-Kremlin propagandists are kicking up a fuss about what it would mean for their beloved Donald Trump.
Appearing on Mondayās broadcast of a state TV show 60 Minutes, State Duma member Oleg Matveychev complained that Bidenās move is a disaster for Trumpās election chances. āHe is left without any trump cards!ā Matveychev said. āPreviously, he could easily attack Bidenās health, now he has nothing left to attack. More than that, attacking Biden at this point would be seen as inappropriate and rude.ā
āNow theyāre switching to [Vice President Kamala Harris] and are trying to attack her, but nothing new will stick to her,ā Matveychev added. āBringing up the fact she is not quite white will only activate her electorate.ā
Russian state TVās coverage of Harrisāwhich is a carbon copy of what is playing on Fox Newsāwas largely limited Monday to attempts at mocking her laughter.
Matveychev said that Bidenās departure from the race rendered the previous agenda obsolete. Discussing the age of the U.S. president or an assassination attempt against Trump is now yesterdayās news, he argued.
The closest Iāve ever seen is that muppet/froggy grin he does when he thinks heās getting away with something. I think he has a joy deficiency.
He probably barks out a āhaā sometimes but joylessly. I mean maybe be if he screwed over some orphans we get a belly laugh?
Good.
