Analysis: Trump fights to keep a job Dems say he isn't doing

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is asking Americans to let him keep his job.

The questions have gotten louder in recent days following revelations that Trump didn’t read at least two written intelligence briefings about Russia paying bounties to the Taliban for the deaths of Americans in Afghanistan.

Instead, Trump’s uneven handling of the crises battering the nation, as well as the new revelations about his lack of attention to intelligence, have given Democrats an opening to argue to voters that the president has proven he is ill-equipped to lead the nation through tough times, or outright absent in moments that demand leadership.

Biden, who spent more than three decades as a senator and eight years as vice president, is pitching himself to voters as a steady and experienced hand.

Democrats also say the revelations over the past week that the president may not have read or absorbed intelligence briefings have put a finer point on the questions they are raising about his basic competency.

The White House insisted Trump was unaware of assessments that Russia had put a bounty on U.S.

John Cornyn, who told reporters the president “can’t single-handedly remember everything, I’m sure, that he’s briefed on.” And White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany stated: “The president does read.”.

To Democrats, what’s transpired in the White House was foreshadowed during the 2016 campaign, when Hillary Clinton argued that Trump simply wasn’t prepared for the presidency.
