Biden hits Trump on 'wartime president' claim: 'Act like one'
n his first address to the nation with upgraded production values, Joe Biden hit President Trump for comparing himself to a wartime president in dealing with a national response to the coronavirus pandemic.
“Trump keeps saying that he's — that he's a 'wartime president.' Well, start to act like one,” the former vice president and presumptive Democratic nominee said in a livestream from his Wilmington, Delaware, home on Monday.
Trump said last week that he views his position as being like a wartime president in a "war" against the respiratory virus.
"To paraphrase a frustrated President Lincoln, writing into an inactive general McClellan during the Civil War: 'If you don't want to use the army, may I borrow it?'" Biden said. "We need to get in motion — get in motion today what we should have set in motion weeks ago."
