Also the republicans are so good at voter suppression... I think that will kill Bidens chances

It's hard to decipher whether you are praising and like the idea of the GOP destroying the freedom of U.S citizens to choose their president or whether you are accusing the GOP, as a U.S political party, of actively subverting the U.S constitution and the U.S voters freedom.

Possibly. He, and the GOP planners behind the latest version of Trump Admin media briefings, are simply trying to grind down the interest of reporters and the public in the Admin acts and failures by a daily dose of B/S.

Ron Paul is getting in on the B/S act as well claiming that Dr Fauci is trying to tale over control of the U.S by way of his push to suppress the passage of the virus from person to person. Remarkable when his son, Rand Paul, has been diagnosed as a victim of the virus, while dad accuses Dr Fauci of being a fraud. https://www.newsweek.com/rand-pauls-father-wrote-coronavirus-hoax-article-days-before-son-tested-positive-covid-19-1493662

Anti biotics ? It's a virus so they wouldn't work. Anti virals yes but not anti biotics.

He's from the future and his logic is too advanced for us to understand

Anyone could struggle in that situation, no one without a serious cognitive problem would do in the way he did.

He may well not know why he is on stage with Trump in a debate, it's that serious.

No it isn’t. That’s absolute nonsense.

Is there not some kind of basic intellect or IQ you need to be president.

It's so hard to believe what I am seeing. And his staff must be embarrassed. To be so ignorant on so many issues is bad. But to be so ignorant on this very important ongoing issue, with so many opportunities to get up to speed is just ridiculous. Insulting to everyone on his team.

Zero redeeming qualities shown the last few weeks.

Rabbitting on no-stop is all important when it comes to viewer-approval figures.

He has been wrong on just about everything to do with CV, but of course that doesn't mean he was wrong so it must be that this is the smartest virus ever.

It must be smarter than SARS and H1N1 since they didn't cause the same problems and thus were easier.

Another classic example of Trump blaming something else.

I just posted a bit of a sarcastic message in another Trump thread in regards to trumps re election..... But doesn't it make sense to let Trump in office for another4 years ? .... Look what Biden has to deal with if he would get elected in November ? ...

Without in any way shape or form being hyperbolic, the elections in 2024 may be nothing more than a notional idea if there's another 4 years of this **×!$¥.

Look back at 2016, and there were dire forecasts about what he would get up to. People at the time called those who said so over dramatic. Turns out they were spot on.

The country is on a steep downward trajectory. It's awful to think were it might be after 4 more years of him.

I'm sorry, what? I've watched them all. He interrupts many journalists in the middle of their question, goes on a minutes long rant about something unrelated, then moves to something else. If you think that will stand up in a (properly) chaired debate, then you're sorely mistaken.

And then cuts the journalist off and moves on to the next.

He gives no right to reply or follow up when he doesn't like the question (or the reporter/their agency).

I agree in properly managed debates his way of "debating" will be called out. Or I hope it will!!

At least Trump's heart is in the right place.

It's hard to get your head around how self-absorbed Trump is, and how anyone can defend him or claim he is some sort of selfless leader doing it for the people.

Never a truer word said.

MadYaker

As far as he’s concerned the press briefings are a TV show and he’s the star.

Thinking about Don and his "it'll be the biggest decision I'll have to make" in respect to re-opening the market, as it'll need opening the shops again for trading, I hope the governors continue to take the initiative and order the shutdown to continue at states levels until the virus is on the back foot. Don can't argue against them with any touch of honesty as he's been on about the states being responsible for fighting the virus at local level.

MadYaker

He’s trying to save the economy because he knows that since he bungled the response to Coronavirus if he wants to have any chance of reelection he needs a strong economy. He tried to downplay the seriousness of the situation for as long as possible for the same reason. What he doesn’t seem to realise is that recession is inevitable and there’s nothing he can do about it just like he didn’t realise Coronavirus was inevitable. He’s always reacting instead of being proactive.

You should check out the recent John Oliver piece on that network that he gives lots of question asking opportunities to, OAN. An absolutely disgusting eye opener:

The bilateral meeting of so many governors looking to the Federal Govt [Don] for funding to help them get out of the mess the virus has landed the states in will probably be put on the back of the Dems holding out on agreeing with the funding plans of Mitch & Co for the private business sector until extra funding is also set out for the states. I've no doubt that Don will point a finger of blame at the hold-outs, saying it's all their fault that things are going to hell in a hand-basket.

A rep from the Fed was on Bloomberg [financial] news last night giving the Feds side of things it's done to date. Mention was made that the interest rate it sets is almost at zero point of interest. Funny thing was that the gent was speaking with a European accent.

He really is a fukking idiot...no way of hiding it either.

While this is from a news source, it seems of import as it claims 16.2 million Americans have applied for unemployment claims, up from both the sets of figures from the Admin [as personified by Don] and federal sources. X amount of those are furloughed workers. There's another probable clash coming up for the Admin, and that's with a triumvirate partnership from within California: the State, L.A County and the RC church there, in respect of families and people who are jobless, undocumented and hungry there.

Adding to that is the seasonal bad weather heading for Louisiana, which will result in loss of homes, meaning families will need temporary rehousing just when the bad effects of the coronavirus [Covid-19] is starting to increase there. Living in close quarters in poor conditions is a boon for the virus chances to pass between humans.

I posted recently about the contradictions between the statements of Don and one of his financial advisors, Peter Navarro, made about the virus outbreak [Pete's leaked Jan memo]. It now seems that Peter Navarro made contradictory statements himself about the effects and power of the virus on the U.S economy and population - when the statements were made either privately [worried] and publicly [not worried]. It must worry the thinking U.S citizen to see that Don and Pete cant play from the same "save the U.S public" script.

But that is the problem. Too many people just laughed at the start, too many thought that at some stage he would become 'presidential'.

Too many laughed, yes for sure but in a lot of ways what can you expect? The man was and still is a joke.

Who thought he would become presidential though?

MadYaker

I thought people elected him because he wasn't presidential.
