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

Dude, I literally posted a picture of trump as an angel.
You can see me coming a mile off.

WHY? he does want a wall and he does want manufacturing back to the U.S. and has pushed for both throughout his tenure.
So what is bollocks about the statement? His platform is still as relevant now as it was when he was elected, which is what my post said.
Maybe you just had to get your bollocks out?

Agree.


Agree.

Bollocks because he succeeded in neither

Interesting observations from former US Secretary of State Madelaine Albright

Coronavirus crisis calls for unity not blame, former US secretary of state Madeleine Albright says
Former US secretary of state Madeleine Albright is urging countries to not become divided in the fight against coronavirus, and cooperate during the rebuilding that will follow.

She's praised Australia's efforts to contain the pandemic, but says she's only beginning to see similar cooperation between federal and state governments in the US.

..."We cannot just decide that it's the end of the world. There are ways that we have to change the way we operate [and] understand the interconnectedness," she says.

"We're blaming the Chinese for what happened. But the bottom line is we depend on the masks that they make. If they are the ones that invent the vaccine, will we say no?"

....She says she would be explaining that every country — even one as big as the US — needs partners.

"You can't solve these problems alone. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that climate change affects everybody, or nuclear proliferation, or pandemics, and that therefore diplomacy is the language where we try to develop partnerships and work together."

Riffing from the worlds most stable genius

Medical experts denounce Trump's latest 'dangerous' suggestion to treat Covid-19
Doctors warn president’s musings on disinfectant as a cure for coronavirus could lead to death

Donald Trump has stunned viewers by suggesting that people could receive injections of disinfectant to cure the coronavirus, a notion one medical expert described as “jaw-dropping”.

At Thursday’s White House coronavirus task force briefing, the US president discussed new government research on how the virus reacts to different temperatures, climates and surfaces.

“And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute,” Trump said. “One minute! And is there a way we can do something, by an injection inside or almost a cleaning? Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that. So, that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me.”

There was some direct expert response to the Presidents genius insights.

Walter Shaub, the former director of the Office of Government Ethics, added: “It is incomprehensible to me that a moron like this holds the highest office in the land and that there exist people stupid enough to think this is OK. I can’t believe that in 2020 I have to caution anyone listening to the president that injecting disinfectant could kill you.”

I was more curious about how sunlight was going to be shined inside our bodies.
Let's face it, at least they have a deficient leader who is trying to open up the country as soon as practicable, while Scomo has a bunch of experts that give consistent mixed messages.

How much media footage will he have, of being criticised for putting on tarrifs, to get pharmaceutical companies to bring manufacturing back from China?

I'm not at all keen on Trump's narcissism and bully boy approach but he's right on some things certainly because no, it's not at all a good idea to be an economy reliant on resource extraction and low value services. That's Third World by its very nature. It makes a few rich in the short term but slowly runs down the country as we've seen throughout the West.

Likewise I've nothing against China but we do need to stop being so reliant on them for manufactured goods. All we're doing is gaining short term wealth by depletion of our resources and carrying capacity whilst they gain long term value out of the deal. Some get rich today but it's not doing anyone's kids in the West any favours.

Was he suggesting ultraviolet blood Irradiation?

I listened to most of the interview last night travelling to a night job. Seriously impressive person. Worth a listen if anyone wants to hear how the world really works.
The Middle East discussion was very interesting.

Depending on the insecticide chosen it may well work to kill the virus.

It would kill the host as well but hey, that's just collateral damage right?

I would think with the U.S modus operandi, they would just let the virus run , until it becomes a problem. That probably means until some actor dies from it.
Not saying it is nice, but it is the way the U.S seems to roll, very different to us.
