President Elect Trump

[Roses]

Unfounded assumption...

... I do not believe he would bother getting help for the kid. Or if he did, the kid would end up being sued for the cost of the call.

Having watched the programme last night I don't think it is an unfounded assumption at all, we know he is bad, but now we believe him to be far worse than we thought.

Nothing goes over Little Roses' head. Her reflexes are too fast. She would catch it.

Anyway came across this elsewhere. I'm not, as you will all be aware, given to quoting the Bible very often. I make an exception in this case:

And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months.

Revelation 13:5

Interesting, it must refer to Trump.

I hope!

Can't be. Trump has already been in office for more than 42 months (that was on the 20th of July).

I have just seen  that MSN reckons Trump might refuse to accept the result of the presidential election if he loses it.

Yes. That rumour/opinion has been floating around for awhile now. He does appear to be laying the groundwork to dispute results by casting doubt on the reliability of postal votes.

He has no choice. If he loses, on January 20th at midday, he automatically turns back into a private citizen.

That's not to say he might not try to steal the election or declare it invalid in some way. e.g. if enough states fail to certify their results due to alleged voter fraud, there will be serious problems if it means Biden doesn't secure an absolute majority in the Electoral College.

I reckon the world will be watching the 2020 US presidential election with much more interest than usual.

[Nearly Sane]

I have heard the question 'What will the army do?' asked seriously which is quite scary. I think the divisive rhetoric and action against China is going to get ramped up, though I am to some extent supportive of some of the actions. We live in very 'interesting times'.

Trump to ban Tik Tok (although not clear how, or of he has the authority)

Trump seems to think being POTUS gives him the right to do anything he wishes to do.

This interview of Trump by HBO is quite extraordinary. (It is about 38 minutes in length!)

Well, I have watched it. Interesting how he has the names of ISIS leaders 'taken out', ready to quote, but I think that is all that can be said in his favour.
What do you think of it?

I haven't seen all of it yet, only the bits that David Packman posted on his Youtube channel, but even in those bits there are some revealing moments.

For example, he waves a graph at Swan and claims it shows the USA does not have the worst mortality and he points out some examples on the graph including "the World". But he says it like he doesn't know what "the World" is.

I think there's some sort of disconnect between the part of his brain that is responsible for reading and the part that that is responsible for thinking. He's read the words "The World" OK but is unable to relate the words to the physical object they represent.

[Aruntraveller]

I think the only positive thing I can say is that he didn't go over the lines when he coloured the graphs.

He didn't colour them in himself. This is what happens when he does his own maps.

The trouble is, it just isn't funny, is it, when you think of this idiot just possibly being voted in again for another four years. I suppose one could listen to it line by line and try to find one which made any complete sense, but listening once is quite enough for me!!

If he does get re-elected the U S A, the whole of the U S A ) should be declared an Institution for the Criminally Insane and its borders closed to anyone from outside the U S A unless they have a doctor's certificate confirming that they are beyond treatment.
