Trump is barmy but that does not mean I have to have a melt down every time he speaks.

But Biden being nominated for the Democratic Presidential Candidate, give me a break....

Biden's latest Gaffes to date, top 30.

Re: Trump gets fact checked

Joe Biden, Kanye West, Donald Trump. They're all up there in the stakes of orating incoherence with Donald seeming to have passed the point of finishing his sentences.

Kanye West does at least have the benefit of being able to burst into song if speech fails him.

Re: Trump gets fact checked

Biden is a weak candidate from what was a weak field. I thought Warren might be a bit better but here we are.

One thing that might help them is that Biden is from the old guard of the party and more to the right of a lot of where their supporters might have hoped he would be. To the right of Warren and Sanders for sure.

He is unlikely to be drawn into a culture war and no one thinks Biden is from the 'far-left'. He isn't as divisive as Clinton either. If he stays boring he might be enough simply that he isn't Trump, his best months of the campaign so far has been when he does nothing and leaves Trump to tweet.

Re: Trump gets fact checked

Obviously, the headline is no revelation. The insight here is Donald Trump's approach arose from ensuring his father, Fred Trump, did not treat him with the scorn he had with his eldest son, Freddie
Quote:
Trump’s niece calls president lying narcissist

Donald Trump developed a penchant for employing hyperbole and lying after watching his “high-functioning sociopath” father demean members of the family who showed weakness, according to a new memoir by his niece.

In Too Much and Never Enough, Mary Trump, 55, describes her uncle as a bully and narcissist who learned to lie to ensure his father, Fred Trump, did not treat him with the scorn the New York builder laid on his eldest son, Freddie.

In the memoir, obtained by the Financial Times ahead of its publication later this month, Mr Trump’s niece says his long history of lying has become a more serious problem now that he is having to deal with crises, including the coronavirus pandemic, which she says he is not equipped to handle.

“His ability to control unfavourable situations by lying, spinning, and obfuscating has diminished to the point of impotence in the midst of the tragedies we are currently facing,” Ms Trump writes in the book.

We got all this crap in 2016, since then there has been book after book of attacks on the president. He had 12 or so women make allegations of sexual misconduct against him, who then all mysteriously vanished after he won the presidency. We had a tape where we saw and heard in his own words, he “loved to grab women by the pussy.”

After all that, he still won. We know who he is now, trouble is, we knew who he was then. And who have we got this time as his rival for the presidency, Joe Biden. Good god man, if people think Biden is the answer to the potential “lunacy” of an extended Trump presidency, “four more years”, they will be sadly mistaken. This is the issue I had in 2016, I saw the Democratic Party for what was and still is, pathetic, and I saw Hillary Clinton for who she was and what she got away with and I still stand by today, that I’m glad she lost.

I have no real preference this year, (Damien, are you going to start another U.S Election thread? )

I can put up with another 4 years of Trump. But Biden, I think is another Democrat party mistake, putting forward who they thought was a prize star, is actually turning out to be a bit of a senile lemon.

Re: Trump gets fact checked

I don't have a problem with Trump. In the face of tides of opposition he's trying to make America and it's people the first in the queue.

I'd rather have him than an arse licking toady of the politically correct brigade that tries to please the world and gets nothing done . . at huge cost.

My issue is his basic competence which has meant too many of his citizens are first in the queue for Covid 19. At huge cost.

Yes but we can thank China and WHO for that. WHO got this massively wrong in the beginning, China on the one hand trying to cover it up, WHO on the other hand, saying this was not a person to person transmission virus.

Getting this wrong in the beginning was costly and deadly, that was not Trump's fault. I know people like to instantly blame the guy but Covid-19 is not his fault.

How he's responded to it and how every single State in America has, remember it's the Governors of each State which decide what it is in lockdown, not the President of the United States (even though Trump erroneously made the claim he has the power).

Re: Trump gets fact checked

The primary responsibility for handling Covid-19, lies with the individual states and their Governors. Just as Boris isn't responsible for Scotland, Wales, or NI.

The problem I see is that you have two mainstream political parties, that are so entrenched in a bitter war with each other and they're constantly in stalemate. People might think Trump is unpopular, but Congress, favoured even less popular.

In 2013. Congress was less popular than toenail fungus and cockroaches.
