There is alas no cure for stupidity

It's a mystery to me how the people around him don't put him straight. It makes me think of those mediaeval monarchs who surrounded themselves with yes men. Or the doctors who advised/treated people like Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson whose doctors treat them in unethical ways.

Essex59 It is not a question of politics - in the UK we don't have any vote for or against Trump, so there is no political advantage in pointing out how inept he is. It is just commonsense.

The President of the USA - who is not supposed to gain financial advantage from his position - used it to promote a "treatment" for CoVid19 in which he had a financial interest, and which appears to have helped kill people who were given it. Then he tells his people that injecting disinfectant into their bloodstream is a cure! That will absolutely certainly kill anyone who tries it.

If anyone else did this, would you trust them with any important decisions?

He's a d**k

This just about sums him up, it would be laughable but in his position, he is a danger to us all

When I saw the pictures of gun toting protesters , I just
wondered who they thought they might shoot, Police?
Medical workers,Democrats? what justification is in their
heads?

I think calling those who voted for him lunatics, just strengthens his voters views that they are only taken serious by this man. Unfortunately, it’s in attacking his voters and treating them with intellectual contempt, that will probably lead to him getting back in.

What is amazing is that he hasn’t got the virus, he is so gung ho about it

The man is a dangerous lunatic, let’s call it out for what it is
There is not an ounce of truth in anything he says
He is deranged They need to section him before he does any more harm because unfortunately there are some in America that will try this this

Words actually fail me!!!!

Trumps poor mental health has been debated by leading shrinks for years.He has somehow seemed to dodge the issues.His promotion of anti malarial drugs( he had shares in the drug company) now disinfectant? It is worrying for sure,hopefully the usa folk will realise how dangerous he is and he gets removed from office.

I watched him say it last night, with utter disbelief.

Yet more leftist drivel.
Politics shouldn't be allowed on here.
Trump2020

Mean Trump

Trymp needs to be sectioned and i am afraid some of his supporters in the deep south will do this.As they all share the one family brain cell.The scientific advisor need to call him out but they won't as afraid losing their jobs

Umm, American is not a race, it’s a nationality!

Are there no depths the Donald won’t plumb to get attention? It beggars belief!

I saw this photo earlier this week and found it profoundly shocking. The USA seems to be on a self destruct mode.

What really scared me about the demonstrators was that many seemed to be in full combat gear- guns, body armour etc -terrifying.
That so many are in denial is of course equally terrifying and they are amongst the most vocal, giving an impression that they are in the majority.

Odd how "not the full shilling" was jumped on but "certifiable" wasn't. I'd have thought that for a certifiable president to be elected to represent the nation, there must be a lot of certifiable voters who thought he was just like them.

How anyone can take aim at Brunette 10's comment, rather than at the Potus and those who support him is a mystery to me.
This man is extremely powerful, sorry I know I'm stating the obvious there but its truly frightening. He stands there day after day, ignoring social distancing rules, spouting total crap, being incredibly rude and aggressive in his mannerisms towards reporters, especially female reporters. He is a disgrace. I veer between recognising he is a personality disordered narcissist who is dissembling under the pressure of a virus he didn't expect on his watch and seriously wondering if he wants his country to fall apart. If it falls apart, does he think he can get rid of any liberal intellectual thinkers. That's the base that challenges him, doesn't vote for him, them and the black, hispanic etc
Look at those videos of his supporters, marching shoulder to shoulder demanding an end to social distancing, saying the virus is fake news etc, one thing seems clear. The black/other ethnic people photographed seem to be public servants, police officers, medical workers etc. They don't appear in the protest groups.

If you keep demonising his supporters he will win again. Its something the democrats haven't realised yet.
As for Trump I think it is becoming clearer that there are health issues there, I think in the future we will look back and wonder how on earth the situation was allowed to continue.

Sodapop, why are you trying to make such make a big thing about this and implying that Brunette is racist? You know nothing about what kind of person she is.

The saying that Brunette used is a common one in Scotland.
Where were you when racist remarks were made about the Scots last year? I didn't see you making a fuss then.
Let it go and let's get on with the main point of the thread. .

I'm not sure what shocks and depresses me the most on this thread; that Trump is even more stupid than any of us thought possible or that a long established and respected poster has been pounced upon for alleged racism.

Sodapop what about the UK? Loads of jokes about the Irish and their intellect, the Scottish being mean, the Welsh and their relationship with sheep; of course we don't believe or agree with any of it, but it goes on. The fact is, not only did lots of Americans think Trump was marvellous and fit to be President; after his first term in office, they still do! Now that is definitely cause for concern, how could any American possibly support Trump, beggars belief.

I quote most Americans not those who voted for Trump.

This is COVID-19, not COVID-1 folks, and so you would think the people charged with the World Health Organisation facts and figures would be on top of that .”
In case anybody missed it
