Donald Trump’s strategy seems to be blame Joe Biden for everything. Just last night he said, “No one will be safe in Biden’s America.” Earlier in the week, Donald Trump Jr. declared, “You’re not allowed to go to church, but mass chaos in the streets gets a pass. It’s almost like this election is shaping up to be church, work and school versus rioting, looting and vandalism.”
In an editorial, the website MassLive wrote:
