By President Donald Trump’s second son called Biden “a coward” in one tweet and used the hashtag #BidensACoward in another as he railed against the former vice president’s refusal to debate in-person next week with the president, who last week was hospitalized for three days after testing positive for COVID-19.
The Commission on Presidential Debates had announced earlier Thursday that the Oct. 15 town hall-style debate would take place virtually “in order to protect the health and safety of all involved.”
The president, however, said he would not participate remotely. Biden agreed to the change in format but has now proposed the debate be postponed.
Twitter users were stumped by the logic of Eric Trump’s attack on Biden and suggested the alternative #TrumpIsACoward trend in reply:
Biden’s a coward because Trump refuses to debate him? This one is making my head hurt. I can’t handle illogic on that level.

Biden has a son who risked his life in service to the United States of America. Donald Trump has a son who … is you. ‘Nuff said.

Your dad hid in a bunker. Your dad faked bone spurs to avoid Vietnam. Your dad won’t release his taxes.
Who’s the coward? https://t.co/Wet8GRdhHg— MrsMagoo (@MrsMagoo15) October 9, 2020
Why won’t Biden infect himself with COVID-19 like a REAL MAN?
