Joe Biden at the DNC (Fair Use)

After Joe Biden delivered a clear, competent, and compassionate speech at the Democratic National Convention, it seems the Trump campaign may have made an error in telling their voters Biden was sickly, brain-addled, and hiding in a basement. Will the President pivot to a new tactic, or double down on this bad one?

Double down, of course! Here’s some ideas for how the Trump campaign can continue the ‘Sleepy Joe’ characterization after Biden’s speech:

Speech? What speech? I didn’t see a speech.

That speech was pre-taped years ago. Decades.

Remember that part where he stuttered slightly? That wasn’t because he has struggled for years with a stutter. It’s because his brain is bad, and we’re going to replay that part until it’s all you remember.

It was China! Don’t worry about how.

Not many people know that Joe Biden has a twin, John Biden. They’ve been switching off for years. It started because Joe Biden was good with the ladies, but John Biden was smart, so Joe would pretend to be John on dates and John would pretend to be Joe for the SATs. Boy, they got into some comedic situations, let me tell you. But these days, John is pretending to be Joe because Joe’s brain is more like Jell-O than a brain.
