He. Is. A. TRAITOR. And every Republican who supports him, from the semi-literate dumb bunny clerk at the local shop I go to who got glassy-eyed repeating every Trump Lie as the gospel truth, to the fascist scum in the Portland convoy this weekend, to the scum like Ron Johnson and every other Republican Senator other than Mittens Rmoney (which amazes me to say that), who enable his treason. A charge of conspiracy to commit treason only needs one act by one member of the conspiracy, for the rest to be guilty. Lock. Them. All. Up. For-goddamned-ever.

As Teddy Roosevelt said, The Presidency is "a bully pulpit", i.e. a terrific platform from which to advocate an agenda (Google's definition). Trump is on the news every night, spewing his venom to one audience or another, ensuring that he is omnipresent. Whether he is outrageous, lying about statistics, denigrating someone, inflaming tensions, or falsely showing empathy, the fact is he is OMNIPRESENT. Meanwhile, as you wrote, Joe Biden "issued a statement" from his basement in Delaware. The statement may be well-written, sound and truthful, but who sees it? What TV station will give it air time? Trump is calling to the faithful from the pulpit while Biden is writing messages from the crypt. Joe and Kamala need to be seen; they need to be on the nightly news; they need to get their message out, and they need to fight fire with fire!
