Where is/can Donald Trump take US (sic)?

[sptrawler]

Indeed !! And just to reinforce your point Herr Hitler was overwhelmingly supported by the German people . Stalin as well was very popular as was Mussolini. I'm sure we can find similar Votes of Support for Peron, Castro, and a score of other authoritarian leaders.

Sad isn't it ? But if you are ruthless enough, lie bigly enough and sack anyone who disagrees with you you can stop on top of the pile.

I don't think any of them were a democracy were they Bas? Pulling ridiculous comparisons doesn't support your argument, no one is forcing the voting public to vote for Trump or anyone else, yet he is extremely popular.
That has to be because he is doing something right, or the alternative candidates are doing something wrong.
Just because you, living half a World away, don't like him, doesn't in itself make him bad.
It may all boil down to the fact it may be yourself that has the issue, not him, who knows?
All we can go on, is the American people whose life he effects and how they vote.
How you perceive him has no bearing on anything and I doubt it will have any bearing on whether he attains office or not .

Idiots in the democrats are doing everything in their power to cause as much damage to the President and the nation as possible

And that statement is another absolute piece of lying Trump BS.
The lying, thieving, idiot Trump is quite capable of doing far more damage to himself and the nation than any bunch of Dems..

I can counter if you like. But the dems are lying power hungry turds. It's not like they are hiding it.

Biden Cuts Hole In Mask So He Can Still Sniff People's Hair
April 9th, 2020

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Joe Biden has committed to wearing a mask in public to be a good example and to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Aides were disappointed and a little frightened, however, when Biden immediately cut a large hole in the middle of the mask so he could continue to invade people's personal space and sniff their hair, necks, and faces.

Staffers usually don't let Biden play with sharp objects, but he managed to find some safety scissors stashed behind the Metamucil in his campaign bus. Using the purple plastic scissors, he cut a large hole and then fitted the mask to his face, confident that he was protecting himself and others from the virus.

"That's better," he said as he cut a big hole for his schnoz. "Now I'm protecting against infection and I'm still able to give the ladies a good sniff. You know, in my day, I wore a mask just like this, as was the fashion at the time. All the kids at the pool would ask to play with the mask, and they'd run their fingers through it. In fact, one time, a gangster named CornPop was about to go cause some trouble at the sock hop, and I put some rocks in my mask and started swinging it around like a sling. You know, real Daniel and Goliath type stuff. He looked at me, tears in his eyes, and promised never again to go out and cause a ruckus."

"Anyway, that's why I'm your best choice for senator of the Roman Empire. Vote for Joe!" Biden suddenly came to and realized he was standing in a Walmart parking lot talking to a hobo.

You have to wonder about the Democrats selection if Biden is the best they can throw up but then the Republicans put up Trump.

Its really hard to understand the US given the massive range of talent country wide yet their politicians are beyond snake oil salespersons.

Every now and then something is leaked to the media before it becomes an official document for public consumption.
Below is what Trump will have been briefed on, but has been in constant denial in terms of its principal findings and recommendations. It's a long read, but you will recognise the story line.

Crimson Contagion 2019 Functional Exercise - Scenario Overview

"The Crimson Contagion 2019 Functional Exercise scenario was based on a novel influenza A (H7N9) virus that originates in China and is antigenically distinct (not matched ) from stockpiled vaccines. The scenario starts off with tourists becoming ill in China with non- severe acute respiratory illness and then departing the Lhasa airport to other cities in China before flying back to their respective countries. During their flights home, additional tour group members, who were not ill when they embarked on their return flights from China ,begin to experience the onset of respiratory symptoms and some develop fever. Figure 3 below shows how the virus begins to spread around the world , as the ill tourists fly back to their countries of origin."​

South Dakota pork plant closes after over 200 workers contract Covid-19
About 240 employees at the plant contracted the virus, making up over half of the state’s positive cases

A major pork manufacturing plant in South Dakota has indefinitely shut down after more than 200 of its employees contracted Covid-19.

According to Smithfield, who runs the plant, the facility’s output represents up to 5% of US pork production, supplying 130m servings of food a week and employing 3,700 people. Over 550 independent farmers supplied the plant.

....In a statement, Smithfield’s chief executive, Kenneth Sullivan, warned of “severe” repercussions to the meat supply chain if more manufacturing plants see similar spreads of Covid-19.

“The closure of this facility, combined with a growing list of other protein plants that have shuttered across our industry, is pushing our country perilously close to the edge in terms of our meat supply,” Sullivan said in the statement. “It is impossible to keep our grocery stores stocked if our plants are not running.”

Other meat manufacturers similarly shut down plant operations after multiple employees contracted Covid-19.

Laissez faire capitalist and long time Trump supporter, Mish has really spitted the dummy regarding the new Trump Council on Re-Opening America.

Trump's Council to Re-Open America is a Basket of Buffoonery

I can't blame him- as he points out ( I am summarising) if no one told him this was real he would have thought it was The Onion:

1. It includes no one in the medical profession.
2. Ivanka Trump - nepotism, no senate confirmation, does she get paid? - WTF doe Ivanka know about re-opening economies?
3. Jared Krushner - nepotism, etc as per Ivanka.
4. Bankruptsy King - Wilber Ross
5. Right wing politician.
6. An ex news reader.
7. Hedge fund manager.

MISH: It would be difficult to assemble a more ridiculous team without purposely attempting to do so, but there it is.

Someone posted on twitter an alternate list for Trump to consider to give to the Onion (they've got no where to go!). (makes me laugh, bit of a play on their names)

Mish, laissez-faire?

What would you call him? He wants to privatise the police force for instance, would tie the dollar to gold and get rid of the Fed, hates Keynseans.

I will have to go back and see his latest views. I had always consider him LA years ago, but have question that recently.

Give me a moment to go and read some of his stuff

Revision of Donald Trumps nomenclature

Bit of a heads up here. On a number of occasions I have referred to Donald Trump as "Son of God". After some feedback an discussion amongst some ASF posters and other friends I have decided to withdraw that descripter and use a more appropriate nomenculture.

Why? A number of valid points were made that have caused the change of heart.

1) There was a feeling this phrase was a bit sacrilegious to people of good faith. To Christian people Jesus Christ was the Son of God. Using this phrase gratuitously to describe Donald Trump made them uneasy.

2) There was a feeling that the phrase itself might mean very little to the many people who now have almost no religious affiliation or even history. Like who cares ??

3) There were other sentiments expressed on how the phrase could be viewed. I use it in a savagely ironical sense reflecting the supreme narcissism of the Prez. He however would probably feel quite comfortable being described as an all powerful, all knowing deity who is rightfully the most powerful man on Earth. And in this context probably millions of his most fervent evangelical supporters would agree , (practically literally ?), that he was indeed The Son of God. So the irony could be easily lost.

4) Finally there was the potential of needless confusion amongst many fervent Trump supporters about Donald Trumps status. Why is he called the Son of God ? Isn't he God himself ?

So after some thought I have decided that when I am feeling particularly xised off over another Trump outrage I will refer to him as
.....................................................Spawn of Satan...

It seems far more accurate descriptor for this creature and I suggest reflects the long quasi religious history of the rise of the Anti-Christ. I think the spawn has well and truly developed and has now created many more creatures in his image .

This is a serious question. Do we have much from the polls on which way voters are leaning?

It's close, Biden is more popular overall but in the battleground states he is about even with Trump.

Trump has way more cash for advertising than Biden, so you would think he has the edge...but how long will he keep it with economic collapse, food shortages etc.
