It’s amazing how these stupid little details become the intense fascination of the media in American elections.

I don't care. Better Biden than the orange one.

So far the polls after the debate have largely improved Bidens lead and the one poll after Trump's COVID diagnosis hasn't shown any change.

WASHINGTON (AP) _ Sen. Joe Biden claimed during a campaign appearance in New Hampshire last spring that he finished in the top half of his law school class, although records indicate he finished near the bottom.

last week Biden released his law school records showing he had graduated 76th in a law school class of 85. The law school transcript also showed he made little progress in class standing through the three-year course, ranking 80 out of 100 in the first semester of the first year, and 79th out of 87 the second semester of his second year.

So he released his College records - Trump hasn’t...

In fact, Trump had letters to his high schools, colleges and the College Board (creator of the SAT), threatening them with legal action and jail time if they ever released Trump’s academic records.

Trump has repeatedly claimed (and allowed media outlets to report on his behalf) that he graduated ‘first in his class’ from the Wharton School at Penn. In fact, he wasn’t close—Trump graduated without honors.

I think the other occupants of the SUV would prefer it wasn't Trump.

That Presidential SUV is not only bulletproof, but hermetically sealed against chemical attack. The risk of COVID19 transmission inside is as high as it gets outside of medical procedures. The irresponsibility is astounding. My thoughts are with the Secret Service forced to play.

It appears the White House is trying to deny a Wall Street Journal report from this afternoon that Donald Trump did not inform the public and carried on business-as-usual even after the president had a positive rapid Covid-19 test.

CNN posting Fake News as always, he wasn't waving at reporters, he was waving at his supporters lined up all on the side walk. Liberal Journos and weak and pathetic democrats whinging that an infected Trump put secret service at risk, well secret service were with Trump on Friday when he was airlifted to hospital and they will be with him when he is discharged from WR in the next day or so.

Knowing Trump and his love of great ratings, I wouldn't be surprised if his waves were for the media also.

But he needed to go to hospital. It seems pointless risky to expose them to the virus in an enclosed area such as the car so that we can wave at his supporters on the side walk. The Secret Service have to protect the President but he shouldn't be exposing them to risks there is no need to take.

Not really - the supporters were on the other side of the car as it drove on that side of the road; he had waved at the supporters when he was on that side of the road.
