Biden just tweeted congratulating Taiwan's president on twitter,

https://twitter.com/JoeBiden/status/1262932298082799624

"Congratulations to Dr. @iingwen
on the start of her second term. Taiwan’s thriving democracy and response to COVID-19 are an example to the world. America’s support for Taiwan must remain strong, principled, and bipartisan."

Its a good start for people looking to see him take a harder stance on China,

but..... for some reason he called president Csai ying wen,,, "Dr." ying wen

When Trump calls her president :

"The President of Taiwan CALLED ME today to wish me congratulations on winning the Presidency. Thank you!"


If Biden wants to win undecided voters in the midwest looking for a president who will be tough on China, he needs to do a little more,

calling the President, "Dr." doesnt cut it

Well, to be fair, the left seems to consider people like Greta Thunberg and Bill Gates doctors, so there is that... Also, anyone who claims hydroxychloroquine is not an effective treatment for COVID-19 automatically receives an honorary medical degree from the left.

Yet we dare not question their fake "science". Nor Al Gore, nor AOC, and others promoting Totalitarian Oppression through these false narratives.

Read the official State Department letter congratulating her. "I would like to congratulate Dr. Tsai Ing-wen on the commencement of her second term as Taiwan’s President." Signed Mike Pompeo.

Joe Biden used the title correctly.

Biden using "Doctor" was the correct form of address....THREAD FAIL.

You guys have gotten lazy in making up your lies. I've never heard anyone call Greta or Bill "Doctor". It probably has happened, but certainly not on any wholesale level, like you imply. What you imply is simply not happening. A Trump supporter lying is hardly a headline anymore.


Regarding the OP: The worst you have on Biden is that he called a Doctor who is also a President "Doctor"?

Meanwhile, Trump is failing at the Presidency, failing on COVID Response, letting America fall in every way, and spreading lies at an unprecedented rate. But Biden (and don't forget Hillary's emails....)

I don't think these kind of minutiae are going to animate the average meat-and-potatoes voter one way or the other.

Where did you receive your Ph.D.? Simply because the facts and data do not correspond to your preconceived biases, doesn't mean reality is not reality. The overwhelming amount of data does not lie and is not 'fake' because you wish it to be.

He’s technically not wrong. It’s a term used with her regularly.

Even if it wasn’t, isn’t as bad as a lot of trump gaffs.
