The Trump campaign can't run on the economy or its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, so they've pivoted to a message of fear. In the wake of protests over the death of George Floyd, Trump released a campaign video this week claiming people "won't be safe in Joe Biden's America."
Trump tried to tie Joe Biden to the defund the police movement during his interview on Fox News, but Wallace wouldn't let him get away with it.
"It's gotten totally out of control and it's really because they want to defund the police, and Biden wants to defund the police," Trump said in the interview set to run on Sunday.
"Sir, he does not," Wallace replied.
"Look, he signed a charter with Bernie Sanders," Trump shot back, referencing a unity pledge made between Biden and the Vermont senator earlier this month.
"And it says nothing about defunding the police," Wallace said.
"Oh really? It says abolish, it says defund. Let's go. Get me the charter, please," Trump said, turning to staff off-camera.
The staffers brought out a highlighted version of the pledge and found nothing in it about defunding the police.
Wallace said that Trump found "a lot of things that he objected to that Biden has agreed to. But he couldn't find any indication —because there isn't any — that Joe Biden has sought to defund and abolish the police."
To drill home the point, just last month Biden spoke out against the movement.
"No, I don't support defunding the police. I support conditioning federal aid to police based on whether or not they meet certain basic standards of decency and honorableness," he told CBS News.
There you have it. Kudos to Chris Wallace for holding Trump to the basic standards of truth.

Grieving couple comforting each other
This response to someone grieving a friend might be the best internet comment ever
When someone is hit with the sudden loss of a friend or loved one, words rarely feel like enough. Yet, more than a decade ago, a wise Redditor named GSnow shared thoughts so profound they still bring comfort to grieving hearts today.
Originally posted around 2011, the now-famous reply was rediscovered when Upvoted, an official Reddit publication, featured it again to remind everyone of its enduring truth. It began as a simple plea for help: “My friend just died. I don't know what to do.”
What followed was a piece of writing that many consider one of the internet’s best comments of all time. It remains shared across social media, grief forums, and personal messages to this day because its honesty and metaphor speak to the raw reality of loss and the slow, irregular path toward healing.
Below is GSnow’s full reply, unchanged, in all its gentle, wave-crashing beauty:
Why this advice still matters
Mental health professionals and grief counselors often describe bereavement in stages or phases, but GSnow’s “wave theory” gives an image more relatable for many. Rather than a linear process, grief surges and retreats—sometimes triggered by a song, a place, or a simple morning cup of coffee.
In recent years, this metaphor has found renewed relevance. Communities on Reddit, TikTok, and grief support groups frequently reshare it to help explain the unpredictable nature of mourning.
Many readers say this analogy helps them feel less alone, giving them permission to ride each wave of grief rather than fight it.
Finding comfort in shared wisdom
Since this comment first surfaced, countless people have posted their own stories underneath it, thanking GSnow and passing the words to others facing fresh heartbreak. It’s proof that sometimes, the internet can feel like a global support group—strangers linked by shared loss and hope.
For those searching for more support today, organizations like The Dougy Center, GriefShare, and local bereavement groups offer compassionate resources. If you or someone you know is struggling with intense grief, please reach out to mental health professionals who can help navigate these deep waters.
When grief comes crashing like the ocean, remember these words—and hang on. There is life between the waves.
