US Election & Presidency

Trump's latest rally in Florida just shows how dumb his supporters are. Very few masks and lumped together like cattle, Trump is willing to sacrifice them all just to get elected again. How many more Trump super spreader events before election day? Republicans will rue the day they cowered to the beast that is Trump, go the democrats, chase Trump and his brood all the way to the courts, lockup time !!!!!

Some further reassurance that 2020 isn't just "2016 all over again".

At this point in the race...

1. Biden's lead is almost twice as big as Clinton's

WHO WILL YOU VOTE FOR?

2016: Clinton +5.5%
2020: Biden +10.6%

2. Far from expanding his base, Trump's base is getting smaller

AMONG WHITE VOTERS:

2016: Trump +13%
2020: Trump +2%

AMONG NON-COLLEGE EDUCATED WHITE VOTERS:

2016: Trump +30%
2020: Trump +18%

3. Biden is NOT perceived as Clinton 2.0

NET FAVOURABILITY (FAVOURABLE-UNFAVOURABLE)

Clinton in 2016: -11%
Biden in 2020: +12%

4. Four years of lying has caught up with him

WHO IS MORE HONEST AND TRUSTWORTHY?

2016: Clinton 41% - 45% Trump
2020: Biden 58% - 33% Trump

5. Should've just worn the damn mask...

WHO DO YOU TRUST TO SOLVE THE NATION'S BIGGEST PROBLEMS?

2016: Republicans +4%
2020: Democrats +8%

Canada: Recently, Aluminum Tariffs and before that, renegotiating NAFTA. Forcing Canada into the US's fight with China with the arrest of Meng Wanzhou.
Mexico: How's getting Mexico to pay for that wall worked out? Not well?
South Korea: How's canceling military exercises and asking them to pay more for the US forces there?
You can pretty much pick any US ally and find Trump has fucked the relationship with in some way in the last 4 years.

If only it was just the Paris Agreement, then most of us wouldn't bat an eye.

68 completed rollbacks and 32 pending which they're ham fisting through as fast as possible now.

How? There is a freaking website tracking his golfing days because he's golfed so much. This is rich coming from Trump since he criticized Obama for golfing, yet Trump's expenditures for Golf. Jesus.

... You don't seem to remember in Syria that the US military had to bomb their own base because Trump wanted them out faster? I bet the Russians were happy with the FOB that the US had to leave behind intact.

... Hiring incompetent corrupt cabinet members and then firing them for corruption at a later point doesn't make Trump a person that is weeding out corruption. It makes him seem even more incompetent as the person that hired them in the first place.

Put it this way, just about every person that seems to have left the Whitehouse in the last 4 years seems to have written a freaking book in the short duration of time that they spent there.

Writing books about your last job isn't a normal thing to do for most people. Much less the number that has come out over the last 4 years.

1) America's allies have been been undercutting her for years and her voters have felt that, hence why they voted for Trump to end mass immigration from Mexico and the NAFTA trade deal. I think he's already increased tarrifs on Mexican goods and I think more will be on the way if he wins re-election.

Trump and America have every right to criticise 'allies' who bleed American taxpayers for security. Have some self respect and protect yourself instead of daddy America protecting you all the time. Even we have US bases here. And a pathetic country like Germany that puts next to nothing into NATO deserves the highest embarassment.

2) Good, he's helping the economy.

3) So he likes golf, big deal.

4) What's that got to do with Twitter?

5) Again, so fucking what? We all knew he was going to shake up DC and make establishment DC parasite types wet themselves the moment he was elected. It's not a surprise these crybabies are writing books about a Presidency they never saw coming.

I mean that the squad infested swamp needs to be annihilated. The Democrats need to be humiliated at the very minimum the way the Corbyn led Labour Party here was stomped. The Democrats need to go back to JFK's party and not this diseased SJW crap that have infected leading Democrats like Pelosi and Biden.

Dumb? A disgusting insult that is offensive to any elderly person around the world who doesn't want to live under lockdown. Funny how every person under 70 can occasionally pay lip service to 'looking after our elderly who live alone' yet the moment the elderly vote for Trump or support any policy that will not imprison them with increased loneliness and mental health problems, you view them as 'dumb'. Hang your head in shame. These people perfectly know the risks of covid and yet they would rather live in an open society than live in a society dictated by dictatorial youngsters only pretending to be concerned for them.

Quite sad to see far more bravery from the elderly at risk of covid than from SJW millenials.

His rallies have got to the stage it's just 'same old shit, different day'.

Even Fox isn't bothering to give them full coverage.

This is quite funny if it's true...

The Lincoln Project bought up some really expensive ad time with the DC affiliates carrying Trump's favourite Fox programmes, like Fox & Friends, The Five and Hannity.

They show attack ads against Trump in a voting district that, frankly, doesn't need advertising because it's already the safest of safe Democratic seats. But they do it anyway because they know Trump will see them, get all riled up, and hopefully tweet something insane.

In response, his own cash-starved campaign has had to waste money buying up ad time on the same programmes, just to make sure that Trump also sees some ads that are more sympathetic to him.

Which will make it all the more sweeter if he wins and shows how utterly rancid the left in America has become

"If", instead of "when"?

The cracks are showing

TBF ... I think he already said as much.

I assumed the 'now' was a typo -- meant to be 'not'.

While I'm at it, I'd also like to agree wholeheartedly with the whole Trump/Columbus comparison:

Didn't know where he was going.
When he got there, didn't realise where he was.
When he got back, had no idea where he'd been.
...and he did it all with borrowed money.


(F*** me! Trump really is like Columbus!)
