This is gesture politics at its worst -
I fear it is you who is ignoring the facts on this occasion. Anyone who claims that Trump is a unifier, has cleared up any mess or improved life in the United States by one single jot since 2016 must essentially be living in cloud cuckoo land.Trump is a man to whom the concept of truth is a foreign one to be treated with contempt. He is a bully who loves to dish it out but runs crying when someone stands up to him, he is a fantasist who cannot bear any criticism, he is a man who lives in a sunlit world of his own creation boasting of a completely unjustified reputation for business acumen.He is, it should never be forgotten, a candidate who lost the popular vote in 2016 A lying, bullying hypocritcal hoax is no fit person to be President of the allegedly most powerful country in the West. Biden may not be anything more than a rather mediocre candidate but at least he is the infinitely preferable one on this occasion.
Yet again you amply prove my poiont raised above - well done !!!!
To be fair there have been several highly principled and honest politicians in the UK since the end of the war on both sides of the political divide.Unfortunately I agree with what I think you are suggesting - there have always also been in the past a minority of others less so. The point today is that these are today now in the majority - Westminster is populated today largely by selfish chancers, blatant careerists and many who wouldn't have a hope in hell of holding a similarly financial rewarding career ! Political pygmies indeed.
Each post you make shows that either you just ignore the facts or, as I rather suspect is tghe case, you just simply do not understand them.
I too, naturally, hope on compassionate grounds that he recovers but equally hope he loses the up coming election as he amply deserves to do. Your description describes very well indeed the mess into which he has led his now bitterly divided country and for which he alone is responsible. Alas with a similar character at present in Number Ten we must hope that Trump's defeat will set a pattern for a return to honesty and principle in politics.
Yes - you have a very valid point - I agree with you.
People are rightly critical of Trump now he has tested positive for not wearing a mask or obeying social distancing - that criticism is justified. However he is not alone as Boris Johnson succumbed after visiting a hospital and boasting that he had shaken hands with all the patients. He also condoned the action of his Svengali, Mr Cummings. If political leaders cannot keep their own rules then surely there is little surprise that too many in the general public don't either.
What should really be worrying everyone is how the allegedly most powerful and wealthy nation in the free world can only produce two such truly mediocre candidates for its top job !
You have summed up the situation perfectly. Simple rules - people should keep them.
