It is a play on the "adults in the room" schtick we heard in 2020.
For all of that we got a senile commander in chief, a white house run through advisors, the rampant weaponization of the rule of law, a cartel run border, spiking crime epidemic, trillions in wasted and hundreds of billions in attempted wasted spending, toxic inflation and gaslighting about the same, a massive state censorship apparatus, and an administration genuinely obsessed with Orwellian changes to our language, culture and law. Extra points for treating parents as domestic terrorists.
If Trump won't get us into a nuclear war, and I think we all agree that that's far more likely under Biden, what's about the worst that could happen?
That really wasn't the argument. Bill Maher argued that Joe Biden is flawed, but Trump is stupid, crazy, and a criminal, which I don't think reasonable people would disagree with. Biden is bad within normal parameters... Trump is historically bad.
Trump was the guy who traded schoolyard insults with the head of a nuclear power. His administration debated a "bloody nose" strike on the same nation. To say "we can all agree nuclear war is more likely under Biden" is an idiotic statement, because obviously we won't agree on that. Trump is a reckless leader, Biden is much more stable and more consistent with traditional American foreign policy.
And if the implication is that Biden's support of Ukraine is risking nuclear war, I would make a Reaganesque argument of peace through strength.
