#JoeByeDon trends as Internet backs Biden to win election as Trump reels from flop Tulsa rally and Covid-19 crisis
While the deaths from the novel coronavirus continue to surge with each passing day, US President, Donald Trump, is seen glorifying the nation’s trade ties with China, the country which saw the origin of the deadly virus. On the other hand, former US Vice-President and the member of the Democratic Party Joe Biden has been quite blunt with his opinion about engagement with China; so much so that he’s gone to the extent of accusing China of “predatory” trade practices and even labeled its president Xi Jinping a “thug”, reports the Print.
Trump took to Twitter on Wednesday, June 24 to comment on Biden’s inefficiency in establishing a trade deal with China saying, “Biden failed with China. They took us to the cleaners! I got $Billions out of China, and gave much of it to our targeted farmers!” Previously, former Chinese trade negotiator and former deputy representative of Geneva, Zhou Xiaoming, had stated, “If Biden is elected, I think this could be more dangerous for China, because he will work with allies to target China, whereas Trump is destroying US alliances.”
However, the leaning of the majority towards Biden’s win in the forthcoming November elections against Trump became more evident as people took to Twitter to trend #JoeByeBiden, in response to Trump’s latest tweet. While one wrote, “We need concerted national coordination. This should never have become political but sadly it has. Trump is going to leave this country in absolute shambles and it will be up to Biden to pick up the pieces.” Another internet user, a Biden supporter added, “#joebyedon We will bring change this November! Enough of that incompetent spray tanning addict!! Joe Bye Don!”
Meanwhile, one stated on Twitter that Trump’s false promises regarding job opportunities and alleged exploitation of resources are making them want to choose Biden over him. “Trump has decimated coal country in Appalachia. I’m from 4 generations of miners. Of course no jobs were ever coming but minersafety and clean water were taken away by #trump Only one candidate that even cares about Appalachia and that’s #JoeByeDon #Biden2020” the tweet read. However, few of the internet users used #JoeByeDon to express their views against Biden. “Democrats be like 'I hear you, and I understand why you’re upset. Here’s how we’re going to do nothing to address your concerns. The orange man is bad, and you have nowhere else to go. Now, would you like a hug? No free healthcare but we offer free hugs here'” wrote one.
