........but it would have been more impressive if "Our God" had prevented the assassination attempt in the first place.

Just where was he when the would-be assassin pulled the trigger?

Oh don’t be so po-faced.
Whoever gets to be POTUS will affect the whole of the Western world. NATO for one example. Of course we have an interest! Be mighty strange if we didn’t.
You’re just cross because my choice of candidate doesn’t align with yours.
Plus, it’s not ‘just me’ is it? Many of your compatriots think as I do.
My smiley face reflects that. 😁

Biden is clearly not fit enough to be President now, much less in four years. Syracute, those of us who admire Biden’s work since he was elected but say he should step aside are not being influenced by myths promoted by the media, we can see clearly by his physical presentation and his cognitive decline.

I bet you didn’t watch his press conference .
The media does sound bites that promote this narrative of him being feeble which simply is not true .

The thing is, the German people were demoralised after WWI and were looking for a leader to make them feel great again. So I can understand why they turned to Hitler. But America has always been a great nation. I’m not aware of them being in a Great Depression over the past few years. So why are many Americans desperate for someone to make America great again? Surely, by saying he’s going to make the country great again he’s saying that it isn’t confused?

No. Just NO.

You clearly didn’t watch his speech at the RNC which was rambling and often incoherent .

Surely, by now you must have noticed that both Biden and Trump, like a lot of Americans, are not at all hesitant about mentioning God, prayers, etc.?

Whether this is because the genuinely believe in God, or is solely because it is still the done thing in certain circles in America to let everyone know you believe in God, I have no idea.

Trump presumably belongs to the school who think God is an American, and as Trump has never evinced the slightest display of empathy for anyone, it can hardly come as a surprise that he has neither condoled with the bereaved, or even mentioned the fact that although he was only superficially hurt, others were seriously injured or killed.

And are you all certain that the 20 year old shot for being the shooter really was the person who took that shot?

If the shot was fired from where the FBI claim the shooter must have been a very good marksman indeed, which no-one has yet said he was.

Trump thinks he is God

I agree Lesley60, the bigger question over Melania’s choices is the adoration Trump’s supporters show. It’s disturbing to watch all that high expressed emotion, especially now God is on their side. What does this remind us of ‘

Lesley60 Sat 20-Jul-24 08:36:23

In my opinion Trump is a psychopath and narcissist
He cares for nobody but himself he has no empathy, compassion or respect for anyone else, the biggest mystery to me is how his wife can stay with him

macadia I am so done with you foul mouthed ignoramuses. Good luck with your broken UK country over there. Give me America any day.

Macadia Sat 20-Jul-24 04:37:08

Fuck that Trump

Macadia Sat 20-Jul-24 04:35:33

Arto1s you said that you are British through and through. If you are British, you would understand that this person is a narcissist and a dictator, the same as Hitler. The same type that caused us to lose our siblings with his greedy genocide plans and his choice to eliminate everyone who does not jump on board with his vision.

Macadia Sat 20-Jul-24 04:31:22

Trump loves himself

Arto1s Sat 20-Jul-24 03:01:08

Make América Great Again. Despite what most of you think, Trump does LOVE America.

Someone said to me, "God didn't save Trump. The devil did."

Wake up.

I don’t think Trump is demented, quite the reverse. Very shrewd. You better get used to him, do or die and all that.

No. Just NO.

Biden is far too frail to contest the election and certainly not able to carry out the duties of a president for four more years. And I’m saying that as someone that has the utmost respect for him.Everyone ages during their term of office, whether it’s an American president or a UK PM ( that is until the Conservatives started keeping them in power for short periods of time) but I’ve never known anyone age as much as he has. I desperately want someone to defeat Trump but Biden isn’t that person I’m afraid.

These are just myths promoted by media, often without fact . Trump has more signs of dementia . Yes , he is aging but he can still talk rationally , if with hesitation due his stutter which he struggled with .

I agree that Biden has no official diagnosis, as far as we know, of dementia, but it has to be acknowledged that he is increasingly looking frail, and unlikely to hold on until November, let alone until January 2029..

Hes nothing but an ego maniac, I can't stand the man, his mannerisms, or his manner of speaking.

I can't help wondering what the Americans are doing, choosing between a felonius ego maniac, or a man with dementia.

God help America

There is NO proof that Biden has dementia !
Stop promoting unfounded so called truths .

I listened to part of Trump’s speech on Ch4 News. He was talking complete gibberish. And his fans were lapping it up. I’ve spoken to Americans living here that won’t even go back to America to visit family and that’s because of the divisiveness he’s causing already. I’ve spoken to people from when he was president before that have said support for him has split families.

Iam64 Fri 19-Jul-24 21:46:51

Trump, a proven liar, self confessed sexual predator, crooked businessman and he caused the insurrection when he refused to accept he lost the election.
He tells his adoring supporters God saved his life. They nod, sway and cheer this nonsense.
America is lost

I like Trump. 😁

So, what do you admire about him? His rape conviction? His sexual assaults, bankruptcies?

Or are you just being mischievous and provocative?

I hope it is the latter.

Syracute Fri 19-Jul-24 21:33:20

Sorry, the last part should have said convicted fraudster.
