With nearly 250 thousand American deaths from the pandemic that's upended daily life in the United States, President Donald Trump is still attacking Democratic nominee Joe Biden on the campaign trail for Biden's willingness to observe safety guidelines written by Trump's own experts.
Even as cases of the pandemic are spiking across the country, Trump continues to hold packed rallies with thousands of supporters while mocking Biden for holding more intimate events that adhere to health and safety guidelines.
At a rally in Arizona, Trump falsely suggested that Biden has no plans to reopen the country.
Watch below.
If you vote for Biden, your kids will not be in school, there will be no graduations, no weddings, no Thanksgiving, no Christmas, and no Fourth of July! pic.twitter.com/Pjyd8TGXME

Trump said:
"If you vote for Biden, it means no kids in school, no graduations, no weddings, no Thanksgiving, no Christmas, and no Fourth of July together. Other than that, you have a wonderful life."
Trump was referring to the widespread crackdown on large events implemented by local leaders concerned with slowing the spread of the virus.
But in her response to Trump's assertion, 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton pointed out that this is already happening under Trump's watch—the implication being that his constant dismissal of the threat posed by the virus has lengthened the necessity of these measures.
Clinton simply told Trump to "look around."
Look around you, Donald. https://t.co/N7Pb4cQOTV

People took the former Secretary of State's point.
We don't have those things now? And Biden isn't president (yet). How is this man so delusional? He's literally just saying all the things we won't have UNDER HIM RN. #VoteHimOut #VoteBidenHarris2020 #VoteBiden https://t.co/y4jPmer8tB

Is he so unaware that this is what is happening under his watch...are is supporters so gullible that they dont see it's happening in the NOW not the future...that his lack of action will cause the future that @JoeBiden will have to deal with? https://t.co/uWZw78uCsH

After nearly two years of campaigning, the presidential election is on November 3rd, but early voting has begun in at least 40 states.
