Biden Campaign Joins Truth Social and Immediately Gets Eviscerated

Bonchie reporting for RedState 

For reasons not immediately apparent to anyone, the Biden-Harris campaign joined Truth Social on Monday, firing off a series of posts. The site was founded after Trump was banned from what was then called Twitter and essentially serves as the former president's personal social media alternative. 

Once the first post went up from the "Biden-Harris HQ" account, it was immediately ratioed, and not to provide a warm welcome.

In an attempt to troll, the new Biden-Harris HQ account, which features an avatar of the president with glowing red eyes, started posting clips of Trump's primary candidates criticizing him. I guess low-paid Democrat campaign staffers think that's some kind of brilliant slam as if Biden's current vice president didn't call him a racist during their own primary battle. 

The comments on the first post that Biden-Harris HQ put up were not kind. 

Does this move strike anyone as the kind of thing a confident, not-at-all-floundering presidential campaign would do? Biden's handlers understand there are no votes to be won on Truth Social, a site that caters exclusively to Trump supporters. So why are they doing it? The answer is that things are just that bad. 

Biden currently faces some of the strongest headwinds an incumbent president has faced in modern history. The economy is floundering as the cost of living skyrockets and interest rates reach levels that put homeownership out of reach. The Southern border is a disaster area, with not only an untold humanitarian cost but an untold cost financially and societally to the nation. Things are no better overseas, with the latest example being a deadly Hamas attack on Israel that left 30 Americans dead and others held hostage.

There is nowhere you can look right now and objectively say things are going well for the United States of America. Some might say the unemployment rate, but how comforting is that when so many people are barely getting by, with many having to work multiple jobs just to make ends meet?

So what better time to try to cause a distraction and spur Republican infighting than right now? That's all this joining of Truth Social is. It's an attempt to get a rise out of Trump so that the focus doesn't fall on Biden's historic failures. It's not going to work. Instead, it just makes the president's campaign look desperate.
