Very good performance on BBC News right now and having a right go at Trump. It’s also likely that the “sleepy” element is a Trump creation. He’s nowhere nearly as far gone in the head as some folk would like to have us believe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it's just been an issue of cut through, there's no doubt he's appeared a little bit underwhelming to the casual observer though. Although, as usual, what's happened up until now will be fairly meaningless when the real campaign starts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 A new favourite of mine during lockdown is to read transcripts of Trumps speeches. Always has a few cracking lines. https://edition.cnn.com/2020/06/01/politics/wh-governors-call-protests/index.html Lots of gold in here. He genuinely seems deranged.His 2019 CPAC speech is an all timer, genuinely unhinged genius from start to finish. 2 and a half hours as well! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it clearly isn’t and a couple of non-disastrous public appearances don’t change that he’s clearly a liability. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tell me he's the new Ken Dodd. People bring packed lunches to watch the man in action. He stops when you stop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) Would this be a good year for some well-known, small 'c' conservative billionaire to stand as an independent? It's virtually impossible for any third-party to win over there...not that it's much better at Westminster...but it's hard to picture easier candidates to go up against, short of Trump wearing a swastika during debates, and Biden needing his nappy changed live on air. Edit: I just realised he'd get away with the swastika. He'd refuse to comment on it, other than saying 'fake news', and his fans would say he was taking the symbol back for the peace-loving people of the United States of America.

I'd imagine most of the candidates stand purely out of ego anyway. Trump certainly did. He's made a nice wee earner off of it, as they all do, but at this stage I doubt he gives a f**k about anything other than running his mouth and having an entire nation be forced to listen. There are bound to be some other wealthy p***ks out there with similar desires who can pretend to be coherent and reasonable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The criticisms of Biden are absolutely blatant cases of projection from Trump. Everything he accuses Biden of, he’s even more guilty of. It’s basically the political equivalent of saying, “I know you are but what am I?” - but it’s powerful, and it sticks. People are replicating the Trump line here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonsism Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I think this might be the most batshit Trump tweet of all time. The “possible exception” of the President in charge of abolishing slavery... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyAnchor Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 But Bubba and his kinfolks are sitting in their trailer (which may be repossessed before November) saying, "Our Godly president has done more for black folks than any other president, that fake news just hates him". And they will vote for him. Its actually an effective strategy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
