The press is a large part of the problem with 45. Not paying for the food should be the focus of the story. Instead, the "free food" offer is the story and not paying is just a minor footnote. Can you imagine being excited to see the great man, he offers a free coffee/pastry and he then stiffs everyone. I'd feel humiliated, but his supporters just love him even more.

I've been saying all along that Joe Biden's response to all of the "Biden crime family" allegations should be just one blunt demand, repeated over and over for impact:

"Play the tapes."

In this political high-stakes card game, call their bluff. Call BS on their accusations. Force their hand. Back them into a corner by having to live with their own words. We all know that MAGA, and Trump in particular, thrive on sensationalism over substance. It is the Art of the Lie. The best way to pop their balloon is to show them for what they are to all the world and embarrass them directly and openly. Like all bullies, they prey on weakness and slink away from a challenge. The show of strength by Biden should be more than sufficient to put them in their place, and to reassert his own standing.

Just. Do. It. Joe.
