Biden and Trump Agreed to Keep Details of Their Call Private. Then Biden Told Us Everything He Said
[FREEBEACON] Biden told a local Philadelphia news station on Tuesday that he and Trump "agreed we wouldn't go into detail" beyond acknowledging they had a phone call to discuss the pandemic. In that same interview, however, Biden disclosed the recommendations he offered the president. "The generic suggestion I made is the federal responsibility, a federal response is necessary," Biden said. "And that I thought we needed one supply commander, nationally, and identifying where all the product needed was and how to distribute it around the country."

In a Tuesday night interview on CNN, Biden was pressed to break his silence by anchor Chris Cuomo, who asked Biden, "Why is it a good thing for the American people for you guys to talk but us not really know what happened?" The former vice president responded by detailing exactly what he recommended to the president.

"I laid out the five things I thought he should be doing now and suggested how I thought he should go about doing," Biden said before laying out his suggestions, which beyond the appointment of a supply commander were to fully implement the Defense Production Act, open up enrollment for Obamacare
...aka the Affordable Care Act, an ineptly designed and worse executed piece of legislation designed to bring 17 percent of the U.S. economy under the direct control of the government. The previous iteration, known as Hillarycare, was laughed out of Washington. This stinker was passed on a party-line vote without being read...
, ramp up testing, and collect more data on African Americans who have caught the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
Biden on Wednesday continued to detail his call with Trump during a virtual fundraiser, according to Brittany Shepherd of Yahoo! News, who wrote in her pool report that Biden "briefly touched on his phone conversation" with Trump during his meeting with donors. Biden not only went into further detail to the donors about what he suggested to Trump, but also how Trump responded, according to the report.

"[Biden] also suggested that Trump appoint a supply commander to oversee the distribution," Shepherd wrote. "Trump suggested, according to Biden, that a rear admiral is taking up that responsibility to some degree. But Biden does not think that is enough."

The Biden campaign did not respond to a request for comment on his discussions of the phone call with Trump. A White House front man declined to comment on the call with Biden or detail any arrangement made to keep it private.

#1 The span between when did he know and when did he forget is diminishing exponentially. No later than October I expect a Silver Alert.
