It won’t let me load the interview? Who is interviewing him?

A White House spokesperson has criticised Facebook and Twitter for removing the President's statement that children are almost immune from Covid. "The President was stating a fact" the spokesperson said, accusing Facebook and Twitter of prejudice
You couldn't make it up

I expect his core base (good name for them) will claim the reports are fake news. He will claim he's being bullied by the fake news.
There must be some Republican senators who have a little integrity and could influence others not to support his bid to continue.
the idea that he could claim the election result was rigged, in the event he loses and refuse to leave the White House is almost unbelievable.

Facebook and Twitter have penalised Donald Trump and his campaign for posts in which the president claimed children were "almost immune" to coronavirus.

Facebook deleted the post - a clip from an interview Mr Trump gave to Fox News - saying it contained "harmful Covid misinformation".

Twitter followed by saying it had frozen a Trump campaign account until a tweet of the same clip was removed.

US public health advice makes clear children have no immunity to Covid-19.

He must be the most self centred, delusional person on the planet. How he became president in the first place is one of life's great mysteries- or was it thanks to the Russians? Hmmm I wonder!

Change was needed within that organisation MaizieD. It was not fit for purpose.

Regards Brexit - eggs have to be broken to fix an omelette.

Aaaah.

Your area of expertise, Ug?

I trust that the eggs for your own personal Brexit omelette get well and truly broken.

I was fine with intact ones.

Well Trump has called out on the WHO and is determined Germany (and others) pay their fair share of GDP to NATO.
MAGA cheerleaders admire him for it.
?

Was that before or after he advised people to drink disinfectant?

He's also cocked up the WTO that you Brexiteers are so depending on... Ug

You can spot the difference because Boris doesn't seem to indulge in fake tan and Trump hardly ever quotes anything in fake Latin.

To me Boris and Donald look as if they were seperated at birth and they speak..waffle, bumble and bluster the same way ...and everything is "the best or the greatest" e.g.the track and trace system that didn't work!!

Both these men are well into their 70's, Biden is 78!!!? Surely to God there must be someone, somewhere in the whole of the USA that is suitable and YOUNGER!!!!?

You have to blame their crazy and outdated political system for the final candidate that each party ends up with. And for the eventual 'winner'

Biden seems to be doing well in the polls; it's a bit like the Starmer/Johnson contrast. One looks like a responsible grownup, the other doesn't. The 'grownup' gets approval just for being grown up.

Never mind Dinahmo the Tory party has plenty of these apologists.

Summerlove I actually wrote that what Trump said was garbled nonsense so of course I didn't think that he made sense. I just said that he responded quickly.

Actually, my OH is always telling me that I would make a good Tory politician because I was very good at coming up with responses and making excuses. I'm not so quick now as the old brain is getting rather slow.

Agreed - an answer given that has nothing to do with the question that has just been asked is unlikely to make sense.

It wasn't me who said it makes sense to do this. I just gave the reasons why I think it happens.

Summerlove - surely all politicians answer questions they haven't been asked?

They are all briefed and if a question comes up that they haven't been briefed on they throw in an answer to one that they have been briefed on and hope they'll get away with it.

Unfortunately they get away with it because journalists often allow them to. That was why I loved Jeremy Paxman! I also admired Richard Madeley for ending an interview with Gavin Williamson who refused to answer legitimate questions.

Of course they do

That doesn’t mean it makes sense!!

I had to laugh! He wasn’t even sure which way up the graphs were. Fingers crossed for November. Fun and games when he refuses to accept the result. Should distract nicely from the uptick (!) in Covid cases.

I watched that interview in the early hours this morning. What surprised me was the speed with which he answered most of the questions. What he said was garbled nonsense but he responded fairly quickly.

After reading that the test he took, of which he was so proud, was apparently one given to possible dementia sufferers, I was expecting more signs of dementia. Perhaps someone slipped him a little something before the interview.

I remember in the early days of my mother's dementia she could not have made head nor tail of complex questions similar to those posed to Trump.

I note that a couple of people have commented upon Trump's "business acumen". (This is not a dig at them) . His loss of his father's fortune and subsequent losses have been in the public domain for many years. Yet, in the run up to the election and afterwards, many posters on here and elsewhere have pointed this out, only to be accused of spreading fake news. Peoples' attitude towards Trump are now changing but it's a pity that they didn't take more notice of the criticisms in the beginning.

....you thought his answers made sense??

Half the time he was answering questions were not asked

Trump seems to get worse every time he opens his mouth. Just a load of baloney comes out.

I watched the interview and wondered just who on earth on his staff let him do it. Surely they have daily exposure to his theories and claims and fantasies and would know it couldn't possibly go well? I think the Trump dream is over, and I hope he takes his scheming venal family with him in a puff of bankruptcy and scandal.
