    Bonkers.


    Jonathan Swan seems to get away with more piercing questions than other interviewers. Despite the hostile tone Trump seems to kinda like him. Great guy, doing a fantastic job. But Its still FAKE NEWS people!! Particularly women or non white press people tend to get shouted down for asking similar questions. You have to wonder why Trump agrees to be interviewed by him when he is so clearly intellectually inferior.

    Obviously # of deaths per head of population is a different and more meaningful statistic than # of deaths per cases when forming a view on how effective any countrys response to CV is. But do Trump voters appreciate that? Do they even care? Does Trump realise what he’s saying doesn’t really stand up but is just ploughing through anyway, either lost in a narcissistic dream state or just hoping his core support don’t notice or don’t care?
    It's the fact that he also argues that the US case numbers are artificially high due to the amount of testing they do IN THE SAME INTERVIEW as praising himself for low deaths per case rates. Can you imagine being the poor sod trying to explain that one is an outcome of the other??? There isn't a box of crayons big enough.

    Trump is, in every possible way you can think of, an idiot.

    That he's somehow been bankrolled into the position he is, makes him nothing more than a useful idiot for those that placed him there.

    It's almost unthinkable that someone that stupid, that ignorant, and that much of an idiot, could wind up as President of the USA, but here we are.

    I don't have sympathy for him, he's a racist, a misogynist, a bully, and a liar (on top of being an idiot).

    He doesn't appear to have a shred of decency about him, either. Just bluster and aggression.


    Whilst I’m not saying he was a good president I remember saying when he got elected that the doomsday scenarios predicted by all wouldn’t come to fruition - or at least to the extent others thought it would. I reckoned he’d get 4, possibly even 8 years and they’d be fairly non eventful (as much as a presidential campaign can be anyway) and that would be it. If COVID hadn’t come round I do think that would probably have been how it would have went.

    The way he’s dealt with COVID though has made others predictions look mild. Guys ****ing nuts.

    If you watch the whole interview - you actually cringe all the way through. Trump is totally delusional.
    For a minute I genuinely thought it was a comedy sketch. It's unbelievable and would be funny if his idiocy wasn't costing thousands of lives.

    It's like Spinal Tap Trump:

    Interviewer: All the statistics point to more cases and more deaths.
    Trump: But this graph goes to eleven.
    Interviewer: The graph shows a spike in cases.
    Trump:........(long pause).....It goes to eleven.

    Obviously his performance in these interviews is appalling, but I have to say, something deep inside of me actually respects him for facing up to some sort of scrutiny for a change.

    It’s not like him.

    I think it's more likely that he is doing it because he is an arrogant ******* and he believes he is the cleverest but in the world. I can imagine that his advisers are tearing their hair out about it. They surely must be telling him not to do it

    Biden is obviously listening to his advisers to keep a very low profile. He needs to get through the three debates, have no hiccups in naming his VP this week and the job is his. And only give the bare minimum of interviews and speeches.

    I’m coming from a point where I think he has absolutely no redeeming features whatsoever, and it’s a pretty low bar when you start to think that the man in charge of the world’s biggest democracy deserves credit just for taking part and performing very badly in a moderately challenging interview.

    Looks like Trump has been banned from Twitter, had a post deleted by Facebook and Deutsche bank has handed over all his financial records to the SDNY. He’ll be going nuts.

    It’s was trumps campaign twitter account that was frozen for fake Covid claims.

    Interestingly it wasn’t frozen or called out for posting clearly doctored photos of Biden. Claiming he was alone and diminished in his basement they heavily edited photos of him at a football watching party, outdoors at a rally and even him praying in church...all (rather poorly) edited to try and show him pale and frail and alone in his basement.

    Talk about Fake News!!

    The frightening thing isn’t that the majority of his supporters are morons. It’s that they aren’t.

    I have subscribed to WH news (White House news) on Facebook. It’s good, I get propaganda updates from the Trump camp. Sometimes it’s quite persuasive, other times less so. But you can see how people can fall for his schtick. Good to get out of the liberal antifa echo chamber for a while

    In an attempt to appeal to the right-wing-evangelical-nut-jobs, Trump has attacked Biden's religious credentials.


    “He’s following the radical-left agenda: take away your guns, destroy your Second Amendment, no religion, no anything, hurt the Bible, hurt God,” .... “He’s against God.”

    Huffington Post


    This from a man that couldn't quite one single line from the bible during an interview.

    That was some pandemic, that one. A bit of a slow burner for the first 27 years, fair blew up in 1945 though.

    It’s actually not such a ridiculous concept, although clearly all the authorities had to do was ask Hearts as they had already won the war by then so clearly would have had no problem in winning it again.

    But to the general concept Trump is alluding to its known the First World War pretty much exhausted all sides in terms of man power, such was the carnage and death rate. And the Spanish flu was indeed rampant in the barracks where they were based and was a huge killer of men. Then there is the strong evidence that the second wave of the flu was the result of the troops returning home and spreading it like wildfire.

    Clearly ol’ Trump has got his wars mixed up but there is also some suggestion that the Spanish flu likely killed more US troops in WWI than enemy action.

    So on this one I kind of see his point. <did I actually just say that! >


    What also must be remembered about the Spanish flu though is that medicine at that time actually didn’t know what a virus was so it’s rather hard to piece it all together in terms of what actually happened.

    And it didn’t come from Spain. I’ve read about the troops being carriers. Makes sense, high concentration of men, crammed together exhausted and not the best of condition. Ripe for disease.

    It completely blows my mind that he is the president of the United States. If you told me he was the president of a local bowling club I would be amazed.
