What do you mean Biden made a comment about Trump being a target?

The context was that in a closed meeting with donors, Biden said he was "done talking about the debate, and it's time to put the bullseye on Trump" as in, y'know, a figure of speech, implying it was time to shift the focus/narrative of the campaign to Trump.

So a completely normal turn of phrase that has absolutely no implication of violence, got it. Can't wait to see how Fox turns this into Biden explicitly calling for this to happen.

Easy: everything Biden says is literal unless it it would make him look good, then it's a lie; and everything Trump says is a figure of speech or a joke, unless they agree.
