Joe Biden is not putting up with any more of Donald Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic in the US.
So he’s mocked Trump’s “plan” to deal with it in the most satisfying way.
The Democratic presidential hopeful tweeted a tongue-in-cheek link on Friday claiming to have found Trump’s “plan to beat Covid-19”.
On the surface, the link looks legit – the domain name is “trumpcovidplan.com” and the website image teases "You've never seen a plan like it. Believe me".
But when you open it, it brings up a deliberate error message:
Not found. The Trump plan to defeat the Coronavirus and reopen safely does not exist.
There’s an option to “learn more”, which brings up an even bigger dragging of the POTUS:
Donald Trump has had eight months to use science, public health, and the power of the Presidency to reopen safely and save American lives. But we are barely better equipped to manage the COVID-19 threat today than we were eight months ago.
Donald Trump has failed to lead and Americans are paying for it with their lives.
You can then click through on a timeline for Trump downplaying the deadly virus and undermining efforts to get it under control.
This is accompanied by stats on when he said it and the death toll of US citizens at the time.
People were absolutely loving the trolling:
The US election is on 3 November.
