Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s campaign called Eric Trump’s comments that the coronavirus will “magically” disappear after the election “unbelievably reckless” on Sunday.
Kate Bedingfield, Biden’s deputy campaign manager and communications director, said in a statement that for President Trump’s son “to claim that the coronavirus is a political hoax that will ‘magically’ disappear is absolutely stunning and unbelievably reckless.”
“The simple fact is that President Trump ignored the threat of the coronavirus for months and has mishandled the response at every step since — destroying the strong economy he inherited from the Obama-Biden administrations and leading to countless unnecessary death,” she said.
“Trump’s campaign knows he can’t run on that dismal record so they’re desperate to do whatever they can to throw up a smokescreen to try to conceal his historic mismanagement of this crisis,” she continued.
The president’s son, who is the executive vice president of the Trump Organization, said Saturday on Fox News that the coronavirus will “magically all of a sudden go away and disappear and everybody will be able to reopen” after Election Day.
Eric Trump also claimed on Fox News’s “Justice with Judge Jeanine” that the Democratic Party strategized the pandemic to prevent President Trump from hosting campaign rallies ahead of the election.
“They think they’re taking away Donald Trump’s greatest tool, which is to go into an arena and fill it with 50,000 people every time,” Eric Trump said.

In all seriousness I think this is the stupidest thing I’ve heard any prominent person say about the virus in weeks. https://t.co/9h6Fc6XUOr

90,000 dead Americans, but Eric wants you to know Trump and his rallies are the real victims here. https://t.co/lLEpFAAONR

Total Insanity. Not so long ago, in the before times, where by the way, there was no shortage of certifiable people puking up a dishonest smorgasbord of total nonsense this would have been so far out over the stupid line that the next time he appeared in public he’d be living (1) https://t.co/u6Ln9i9dhZ

Just like Dad — stupid, selfish and narcissistic. At a time like this, those qualities are particularly dangerous to all of us.
