Trump gets so much attention because of the outrage. If we left his Twitter account to just his supporters, he'd have a lot quieter megaphone. But it's sensational, and people love controversy, so the news covers it. This leads to more outrage and the cycle repeats.

Ignore him. He's a narcissistic blowhard. Focus on any policies he actually enacts and vote against anyone who votes for them. I hate the man, but far more dangerous than him, is the outrage cancel culture that's taken root in America. It's creating censorship and I don't think it's good for the country. The vocal minority on both sides are being amplified. Sometimes that's good, in the case of police reform or the me too movement. But more often it's pile-on social justice warriors or those using a just cause to further their own agendas.

Yes, Trump has stated he supports wearing masks though he is also saying schools most open which is just as idiotic if controlling the virus is the goal.

About the waaay to late. How many lemmings didn't wear masks and still won't? His position has been it is a personal choice to wear masks. That has been a significant reason for thousands of unnecessary deaths, resulted in a huge jump in unemployment, has strapped so many Americans with major hospital bills and contributed to the resurgence of infections. So I don't give him a pass, no redemption or forgiveness. I don't see much difference in what he has done than David Koresh convincing followers to drink kool-aid that kills them and setting fire to the compound that is our country in this case.

What Obama did or didn't do doesn't matter. It doesn't justify Trump's actions and behavior. He stands on what he does and says. IMO he doesn't think about what is good for others or this country. He if focused on nothing other than what is best for him. The best I can say about Trump is his behavior is not all his fault. He inherited much of it.

Voting for the candidate that has the best chance of defeating Trump may be manipulative but it is also vital. Gerrymandering is manipulative as is trying to stop absentee voting.

100% agree.

It’s not that hard to follow. Trump is bad for America. That’s not the same as saying Republicans are bad for this country.

Whether Obama is good or bad is irrelevant to our current situation.

There’s no reason to stand behind failures and trying to give him excuses.

You are not a victim of Stockholm syndrome, don’t get sucked in to the bullshits.

He is a liability and he needs to go or our situation will get much worse.

Simple as that.

Did you buy into his bullshit ?

Nice comeback.

Not really what i'm hoping for.

Not saying anything you said was wrong, but it's a reply that I can return right back to you without telling you anything at all.

Saw an interesting post from someone on instagram today: "Before you Biden haters abstain from voting this year or vote for a third party, remember you're not voting for Biden. You're voting (quite possibly) for Ruth Bader Ginsburg's replacement."

Do you work in sales Maruzo? < That's meant as a true joke.

But on the serious side that's probably one of the more compelling reasons I've seen. I can just hope Biden picks a good VP. And if the Democrats carry the House and Senate it won't matter as much if Biden loses. Trump would be a lame duck starting January... LoL, and probably impeached again (but by both houses) come February. What a mess our governing system has become.

This is getting nuts. I never thought I would worry about the mental stability of BOTH candidates for office of the President. This pandemic is the best thing that could have happened to Biden in terms of not having to speak very often. And it might be the worst thing for Trump. His Chris Wallace (on Fox) interview was not very confidence inspiring.

I've never been one for conspiracy theories, but two mentally challenged individuals being chosen/allowed to get the nomination has me at least a little worried the parties are looking for a puppet in the Executive branch of gov't. Scary stuff.

What’s wrong with Biden? What’s he done lately?

Not too much lately. He sounded pretty sharp yesterday, day before? Whenever his last press conference was. His issues seem to come and go. But there are lots of instances of rambling, stammering, and forgetfulness in the last 6 months. I feel badly for him. He's had a long life of faithful public service and I just don't think his mind is up to the task. He said he would announce his running late first week in August.

He has a lot of options. Most of them have good things going for them but he wants a relationship he had with Obama, comfortable and trustworthy relationship. I don’t think he can find that from these potentials.
