    Trump's stream of depraved consciousness is getting progressively worse. He's decompensating right before our very eyes. Joe stumbles over words but Trump's spouting more and more nonsense as he drones on at his "rallies". Amazing how the media just let's it slide while Biden gets bashed to smithereens.

    I agree with you, Trump is losing it as he ages. But Biden is even worse. Half the time he doesn't know where he is and gets off track in what he's trying to say. Even has trouble staying on his feet. But the Left is sticking up for him, saying he's fit to run even though his own doctor doesn't think so and is letting him run.

    Wow, The only thing Trump loves more than his self is this country. He has shown it in what he's said and done many times. As for human decency, just what has Biden done to show that in his life, not just as President. I can show you many things that Biden can't match.

    Trump in trying to get fair trade with China and China refused, put on higher tariff on China imports. China got mad and said they could cut badly needed Ingredientes needed by American drug makers to make badly needed medicine that keep millions of Americans alive. Trump said no nation should be held hostage by another country to make life saving medicine, so he did this.

    In a deal aimed at reducing U.S. reliance on China, the federal government announced Tuesday that it plans to give Eastman Kodak a $765 million loan to start producing the chemical ingredients needed to make pharmaceuticals.

    The company plans to establish a new division, Kodak Pharmaceuticals, that will focus on the building blocks used to produce generic drugs, according to a joint statement from Kodak and the lending agency, the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation, or DFC.
    The planned investment, reported earlier by the Wall Street Journal, will create about 350 jobs at Kodak’s home base in Rochester, N.Y., and in St. Paul, Minn., the company said.

    When hit with the virus, there was only one company that had a medication to fight it. Trump bought up the whole world's supply of it. pissing off many nations.

    Jul 01, 2020 · Become a powerful force for change. The U.S. has bought up almost all of the world’s supply of remdesivir, one of only two drugs shown to work against the new coronavirus. The move is in keeping with the Trump administration ‘s “America first” buzzword towards the global pandemic and raises concerns about what the administration will do if and when a vaccine is developed.


    Trump found out America was running out of masks. He couldn't buy enough. Then found out 3-M was sending thousands of masks to Canada, Germany and several other countries and he did this, also pissing off our friends. But he was keeping with his America first.


    The US has been accused of redirecting 200,000 Germany-bound masks for its own use, in a move condemned as "modern piracy".

    The local government in Berlin said the shipment of US-made masks was "confiscated" in Bangkok.

    The FFP2 masks, which were ordered by Berlin's police force, did not reach their destination, it said.

    Andreas Geisel, Berlin's interior minister, said the masks were presumably diverted to the US.

    The US company that makes the masks, 3M, has been prohibited from exporting its medical products to other countries under a Korean-War-era law invoked by President Donald Trump.

    Let's look what Trump did before becoming President.

    Down On Their Luck
    Everyone knows that Trump is a man of action and he gets things done. When he heard that a three-year-old boy who suffered from a rare lung disease could not get the help he needed, The Donald jumped into action with yet another act of kindness.
    Because of liability risk, the airlines would not let the boy travel via plane. He needed to get from Los Angeles to New York fast and Trump wasted no time. The now POTUS offered the family the services of his plane and they were whisked off to New York in no time. The media vastly ignored this particular act of kindness.

    When Grammy Award-winning actress Jennifer Hudson learned that three of her family members were brutally murdered back in 2008, her life was destroyed. She withdrew from the public and she stayed secluded in Donald Trump's hotel – at no charge. She felt that she may still be in danger, so he also paid for round the clock security.

    New York, New York
    In 2013, a Buffalo, New York bus driver named Darnel Barton saw a woman in distress on his route. He stopped his bus and talked the woman out of jumping off the bridge she was perched on. Donald Trump got wind of this great deed and he sent the 37-year-old bus driver $10,000 as a reward.

    Trump once saw a man taking a beating by another man with a baseball bat in New York City. Several witnesses claim that Donald jumped out of his limo, ran up to the assailant and said, “Look, you've gotta stop this... Put down the bat.”
    The attacker recognized Trump and responded with this, “Mr. Trump, I didn't do anything wrong.”
    True New Yorker, Trump yelled, “How could you not do anything wrong when you're whacking a guy with a bat?”
    The man ran away.

    South Of The Border
    Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi was held captive in a Mexican prison for 214 days and he was brutalized. President Obama did nothing to get him freed and he would not address it publicly. The Donald, as reported by Greta Van Susteren, helped Greta get him out and gave the young man a large sum of money ( $25,000) when he was released to help him get a new start.
    In 2016. retired U.S. Army Sgt Todd Landen spoke to Trump at a Sioux City, Iowa rally. He told him that the VA would not share his medical records with his neurologist and he was experiencing military pay issues. Team Trump bombarded the VA with phone calls and in less than 24 hours, Sgt. Landen's records were forwarded and his back-pay issue was resolved in his favor.

    Annabel Hill of Waynesboro, GA, is another example of Trump's acts of kindness. She was in debt up to her ears and her farm was to be auctioned to settle her debt. Her husband had taken his own life so that she could get the life insurance payment. That wasn't enough. Parts of the once 1300 acre farm was sold off and the remaining 715 was about to be auctioned.
    Trump called the auctioneer and told him the debt would be cleared up. A public fund drive raised $101K and a Dallas property owner kicked in $38,000. Trump added $41,000 a plus $5,000 for her legal fees. https://www.blogarama.com/government-blogs/330851-politicsrighthere-blog/20894970-trump-acts-kindness-media-did-not-cover

    Meh! Biden has it together enough to have “owned” the right more than once. As for physical issues - was not Roosevelt disabled by Polio?

    Absolutely true. You know why Trump lost? It's because Democrats know nothing of all the good Trump has did. The Democrats lied their butt off and the bias news repeated everything the Democrats said The bias news told almost nothing good Trump did. They even took some of the stuff he did and gave it to Obama. Over 92% of their news on Trump was negative. That is why he is hated so much.

    You have recounted an awful lot of second hand stories there plus only one did Trump actually dip into his own pocket - meantime he was found guilty of ripping off charities and never forget the people who lost life savings with the Trump University

    Roosevelt did have Polio and couldn't walk and the public never know it for years. The news didn't tell. But, Roosevelt's mind was very sharp, you can tell that by all the good things he did. I love Roosevelt Biden's mind isn't sharp. He will be talking on one thing and his mind switches to another. I don't believe Biden is making most of the decisions he makes and you want to give him 4 more years?

    Yes he did. Can you wonder why he took out some of that money? Two and a half years paying lawyers on a phony collusion with Russia story. He has been paying lawyers for about 7 years. He is the only President that left office poorer than when he came in. But Trump was also the biggest donor to his charity. Only the second President who never took his salary. If you think any of them are wrong, I challenge you to check them out.

    There is a very good reason he avoids debating anyone . ANYONE would verbally demolish him with actual facts and sound reasoning. He has not come across as "reasonable" for some time now. Cognitive decline combined with his psychological problems makes him a very very poor candidate.

    Bien might not be the communicator if the century. But he is sharp and knowledgeable enough to exercise strategi thinking and planning. He is wise enough NOT to over react to the situations that happen. He is not verbally trigger happy.
    Trump issues words before his brain actually engages. His knee jerk reactions are a sign of psych dysfunction and personality disorder. Je re[eats himself ad nauseum. That repetition is certainly a sign of mental decline. He relies on slogans as opposed to cohesive sentences of substance.

    That's a lie, they didn't lose their life saving because of what they were taught. Trump advertised his university and said he'd be teaching class. He didn't. He never taught one class. He had others teach it for him.

    Strange how the Trumpers seem to just ignore those very important facts about his history. It is far from exemplary. A con man through and through with little regard to anyone else. He has a callous indifference to anyone that has been hurt by him (directly or indirectly) Quite sociopathic.

    Your pretty much on base with Trump. He does shoot off his mouth before putting his brain in gear. He also is knee jerk. Neither Trump or Biden should run. But I'll put Trump's record in office, up till he lost the election against Obama or Biden any day of the year. there is no comparison.

    If he played by the rules and operated with principles , standards and ethics, he would have some integrity and not have all those legal problems. HE is the author of most ir not al of his legal issus. HE is responsible for HIS conduct. He is not an exception to the law, or society's rules.

    Did you miss where he gave the bus driver $10,000 and gave that Marine help in Mexico $25,000? Did you miss where he gave that Jewish family the use of his airplane to take that kid to NY? Who paid the pilot or paid for the fuel? Who paid for the round the clock security?

    That he is. his mouth has cost him millions. He is not responsible for having to pay lawyers for two and a half years for a phony investigation.

    Please tell me anything Obama or Biden did on their own before becoming President? I won't ask what they did while President, because it was mostly all for votes. They didn't take a dime out of their pocket to help anyone. Obama has a half brother in Africa that lived on a dollar a week. He never gave him a dime.

    www.dailymail.co.uk › news › article-1047399Barack Obama's 'half-brother discovered in Kenya, living on a ...
    Aug 21, 2008 · The youngest of Barack Obama’s half siblings has told of his shame about living in a shack and existing on a dollar a month whilst his brother plans to become the most powerful man




    Another half brother and more family members he snubbed.

    A “cold and ruthless” President Obama abandoned his Kenyan family in their greatest hours of need, according to a new tell-all by estranged half brother Malik Obama.

    “He got rich and became a snob,” Malik, 62, told The Post via Skype from his home in the Kenyan village of Nyang’oma Kogelo. “What I saw was he was the kind of person that wants people to worship him. He needs to be worshiped and I don’t do that. I am his older brother so I don’t do that.”

    The book, “Big Bad Brother From Kenya,” a self-published memoir which Malik Obama spent 22 years writing, hit Amazon with little fanfare on July 11. In its 435 pages, Malik covers the long and gradual falling out between him and the former President, which culminated in Malik publicly endorsing Donald Trump for president in 2016. https://nypost.com/2020/08/01/barack-obamas-half-brother-rips-cold-and-ruthless-ex-president/

    You can bring up the stupid things Trump did and ignore all the good things he did in and out of office. But Obama made a mess in office and did nothing good to help anyone out of office. Biden didn't much of anything out of office and screwed up plenty in office

    The job of POTUS is about making decisions not about "The Big Show" and self aggrandizement.

    Hmmmmm …. Why is there not more threads on the president that got the most votes in history. Seems the liberals are more than happy to bring up threads to stay away from that subject as far as they can.
