As the US recorded the highest single day of new coronavirus cases since the pandemic began on Friday, President Donald Trump looked to distract from the virus' deadly toll by seizing on Joe Biden's comment in Thursday night's debate that America should shift its reliance on oil toward greater renewable energy use.
With the election less than two weeks away and more than 50 million ballots already cast, the fresh dispute over energy gave Trump a chance to shift the campaign away from his mishandling of a pandemic that's killed more than 224,000 Americans and argue that Biden's remarks could cost him five or six states on Election Day. At a North Carolina rally Saturday afternoon, Trump pointed to the shifts in Biden's position on fracking as a key liability in the election.
All the automakers have electric vehicles. If we don't go after that market Japan , Germany and South Korea will. This new market will need solar panels, batteries, and a lot of electronics. These are good paying union jobs. It's not going to happen overnight but it will.
Die Piloten sind auch der Meinung das seine Hose etwas zu kurz ist !!
No you morons. Eliminating fossil fuels is a serious issue and needs to be debated. It is completely separate from the pandemic. CNN is pathetic.
And the Democrats are using the virus to distract from the fact the Biden is dirty and will destroy fossil fuels
TrumpLiesPeopleDie
Just concentrate on the virus.
Another lie from Donald Trash, saying that leaders in other countries call to say that the coronovirus tests are good! First nobody in Europe buys tests from the USA. And the USA buys its tests from China. He's a born liar! He shames his country around the world!
The good book says, 'It won't be water, but fire next time'. We must find clean energy to save the world as we know it.
CNN is still corrupt and violating your first amendment rights.. thats why no one watches that story hour any longer. Propaganda killed 6 million jews. Cnn is full of shiiit
Hey dizzy Donnie, the whole word is transitioning from fossil fuel, well that is except for your corrupt crowd.
Trump will do anything to deflect from his failures and ineptitude. Americans are seeing through this and will show him what real power looks like
President Trump is not causing Any type of Covid . Why do you keep linking him with this viral weapon ? On everything he does ? These vicious lies and attacks on our president makes me vote for him
You guys are still talking about the virus?
We want clean energy and Tesla type vehicles and elonmusk is making some vehicles for the future.
'Distract?' WTF! Biden dropped a big one! He's been backtracking ever since. NO MORE OIL, OHIO AND PENNSYLVANIA!
Hasn’t the price of oil dropped so low that Fracking is not profitable right now?
That’s why I support JB! He understands we need to phase out from fossil fuels to save the planet. Whoever sees this as something negative either works in the oil industry, doesn’t believe in climate change, or they’re ignorant on the subject, and wouldn’t vote for him anyway!
not a great distraction we are behind the times
The more interesting story that CNN and the rest of the media is not repotting on is Hunter’s laptop. They have the emails and testimony from Mr. Bobulinski showing that Joe was on the take. Investigate!
Murderer and Chief
No flu this year . Doing well
Are certain topics now off limits according to CNN?
Oil and coal jobs aren't the future, nor are they afforded to everyone in every state. Renewable energy could bring jobs to thousands, in many different states. This is the future. Time to come aboard.
realDonaldTrump supporters think that he is a genius because no one can be that stupid. They think all that he does is planned when it's just him changing direction like a cat trying to catch a laser light being shaken around. election Elections2020 TrumpIsAnIdiot VoteHimOut
It’s coming and can’t stop it. Fossil fuels are killing our world. They had their time like dinosaurs and Romans. Safer, cleaner and cheaper is evolution of energy. Accept it GOP TheDemocrats USCongress EPA
why are we so dependent on oil for everything? solar power and wind power makes more sense
Donald Trump claims if elected Biden will hide the sun behind the moon forever
CNN - so you think Biden’s stated policy of destroying oil-producing states and millions of oil-producing jobs is merely a distraction from covid. I don’t think those voters agree with you.
Doesn't matter what Biden says, Trump will twist it whichever way he wants, the ultimate con man.
We're no strangers to love You know the rules and so do I A full commitment's what I'm thinking of You wouldn't get this from any other guy I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling Gotta make you understand Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around
Orange man has no right to lead the USA, his wilful complicit negligence in dealing with C19 makes him culpable of manslaughter and should be held to account, jail. He has shown total disregard for science and medical advice, instead just focusing on re-election, morally criminal
I’d say that Biden stating that he would end the oil industry is the BIGGEST win from that debate for Trump
Kovid is Kaput. Fear mongering is despicable.
The WORLD thinks we should shift to renewable energy but racist bigots stuck in 1950 and those that support them are too old and ignorant to understand they can make MUCH more money with clean energy technology. Seriously why would anyone listen to this idiot?
His stupidest quote so far. '' All I hear is Covid, covid, covid covid. A plane with 500 people crashes and nobody speaks about it.'' Over 200,000 Americans have died from COVID19. Many of these deaths could have been prevented with the right leadership in the White House.
.03% death rate
And you can. Eli eve what Trump says?
Anyone with half a brain can see with China and Europe have done with green energy. It is a matter of time before the earth frees itself from pollutants.
Anyone left alive to go to aTrump rally?
Did his campaign spokesman write this?
He can’t stay on topic! He just can’t.
It might mean nothing to you but to all whose livelihoods depend on it it was not what they wanted to hear from Joe Biden.
More GREEN ENERGY!!!!
And the PROBLEM with this approach is...NOTHING!!
Nice job spinning for Joe! Go look up all the videos where he promised to end fracking and oil industry. Are we suppose not to believe what he said but believe what you say?
Stop blaming realDonaldTrump for the pandemic that China failed to contained. He is doing a great job balance safety and economic recovery. No one recommends lockdowns except for dictator governor democrats
We should switch to renewable energy sources, also point out Trumps covid failure at every opportunity.
Your network is demonic
I voted for JoeBiden
Breaking News: This just in...While in his basement this morning, the Sleepster got his first erection in over a decade. While in a state of arrousal, Biden could be heard shouting “c’mon man”.
TrumpDistractions To whom does he owe millions? Why can’t he comprehend the science behind Covid spread?
Sure !!! Tell that to Texas, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Oklahoma etc. Ha! Ha! Ha! The coronavirus is the issue that wishes were the important issue for the voters. It is not!!! It's the economy, Stupid!!!
Damn! I totally had them down for “Republicans pounce” in this weeks “MSM Speak” pool. Damn! 😂
What did gas cost under Obama/Biden admin? You ready to go back? Electric will double...income will tank
Right now I am sitting in traffic waiting for three giant windmill propellers to make their way through Victoria, TX. Musk is building his next factory in Austin. Fossil fuels have no real future.
Everyone knows we need to move away from fossil fuels. Only Trump thinks this is a revelation, because he's a corrupt idiot.
Interesting, distracting from a virus that no one country knows how to handle vs. eliminating an energy source which employs millions of people without a plan that doesn’t bankrupt this county’s businesses. Smart move for the President.
Sweet lady Bitcoin! She is kill-ing-it! I love the Bitcoin supporters too. 'Sophisticated intellectuals' and 'Futurists' were two of my favorite descriptions! Let's go BITCOIN! 🔥
Is Kamala going to leave her current white man for 'Slow Joe'
Yes, yes. We all saw the DNC Press Release Memo sent out to all outlets that today’s distraction topic is COVID fear mongering. JoeBiden STILL a War Criminal and Hunter’s laptop is STILL CONNECTED TO A MONEY LAUNDERING SCHEME naming Joe as a beneficiary of equity distribution!
01/21/17. 01/21/21
The shift to alternate energy will take decades...Biden is proposing we start...because ITS GOING TO TAKE DECADES. so tired of stupid.
CNN is a joke. Go run your hands up and down Biden’s hairy legs, why don’t you.
Comrades, you cannot be so obvious in your bias.
Raise your hand if you’re ready for 4 dollars a gallon
Distract from the virus? No one is seeking info on the virus. We know what it is and how to keep ourselves safe. Unless it's new information about a vaccine, what's there to talk about?
You're on twitter and we ain't following each other, common. Let's grow together. I follow back instantly💕
Shifting away from oil has been a thing on the table for over 20 years. Clinging to old ideas will be the end of the Republican Party, it’s getting closer everyday.
Stupid remark by JoeBiden. Are you trying to lose?
Seems to us like CNN is trying to shift our focus from Biden's lies on fracking. We remember: Trump doesn't go about spreading of the virus. 'Covid surge 'very serious' in Germany and 'out of control' in Spain. 38% rise in Europe, 29% death. CNN LIES🥱
