I like a good story the same as everyone (I assume) but as a politician in today's world you cannot make mistakes like this.
This was unnecessary and he now loses the high ground to everyone else in any debates about lying for political gain.
The one major piece of ammo the D's have against Trump (no matter the nominee) is Trump's lying to the American
people on every subject on the planet. When debating Trump should that be Biden the moment he says Trump is a liar
Trump will remind the world in his Trumpian way, Joe lies about our troops.
For me personally - if you have to fabricate your message to manipulate me, I'm not interested in you.
