It's all good. I don't have faith in many people to actually learn from what is happening (my grandparents insisted the virus was a hoax to hurt Trump and not dangerous at all, now they insist they knew it was dangerous from day one and won't hear anything to the contrary). Still, Trump is fucking up so badly right now I believe he'll lose the election. Dude literally said (I believe this morning) that hospitals were lying about the amount of ventilators they need and he thinks things will just level off in the US like in South Korea, without, you know, doing what South Korea did to get there.
It's clear from the letter he sent to governors (saying this will be a long road ahead vs. to the public: as we near the end of this battle) that he has a populist face for the public and a more measured face in private, still, I'm beginning to doubt the dude really has understands what is happening and what will happen.

True piece of shit. He will self promote himself as the savior of the stock market when it comes back up. He will self proclaim that he, and only himself, defeated this Covid-19. He will take the time to endorse himself and ensure the American people that he is this Golden God. The fucked up part is that people believe it.
If he gets elected, Americans are stupid people. Straight up uneducated dumb fucking people and Im embarrassed to have him represent our nation.

Even at 73 Trump is a contender for oldest ever serving president of the US if he was to complete a second term. He's already in the #2 spot after Reagan, and holds the #1 spot for oldest at the start of his presidency.
Very true and in my opinion Reagan did a pretty damn good job. personally I just dont see either of them (joe/bernie) fit for president. I'm not a huge fan of trump, but I appreciate the fact he speaks his mind and a lot of politicians are scared to do that. Democrats set themselves up for failure it seems. Wish trump cared a little more about the environment rather than calling it all a hoax but he's got my support.
Reagan was a terrible President. His first term started the trend of the top 1% owing everything. In his second term he had Alzheimer's disease. My source for that is his children, Ron Jr and Patty Davis. Also in his second term, most of those closest to him were indicted for Iran Contra, a scheme to sell heroin to fund an illegal war in Nicaragua. And you are seriously going to suggest that other people are unfit to be President.

That's why I'm waiting another 8 years to run. I'm sure I'll be too incompetent to be assassinated but just in case I'll wait till I'm more ready to throw my life away.
Honestly though just becoming president if you aren't essentially already a powerful popular politician (I'll include business leads because business and government are almost the same thing) becoming president probably is just throwing your life away. You could never go back to being Jenny from the block. Your life would pretty much ever after be a publicity stunt or people trying to use you for their publicity stunts.
So many market themselves as just an ordinary guy, one of the people, but I really don't think an ordinary guy could pull it off.

Well here we are.
The seeds were sown many month ago by inserting a couple of symbols into the soup. These seeds have found root and grown.
Much like when a young trump jokingly suggest he may be president one day.

My view is that he likely doesn't care one way or another about delaying the election (since he can't, legally or otherwise since even his own party is against it), but is using his typical technique of playing both sides to suggest it be postponed for safety reasons. That way if the numbers don't come back favorable for him, he has more ammunition to claim the election was illegitimate and his voters weren't able to vote because of unsafe conditions.
He's sowing the seeds of doubt on all fronts... mail in voting fraud, immigrant voter fraud, covid safety concerns causing suppression, dead people voting, etc. If he loses, the reality tv host president wants it to be a season finale with a 4 year encore.

Absentee ballots.
Trump want's votes counted on election day.
Edit. Maybe not ON election day, perhaps results at least.

Trump also has no say on when and how votes get counted, and routinely votes by mail himself like millions of other americans

By denouncing mail in voting whilst asking his supporters to vote in person, they likely will.
On election night the numbers being relied upon are largely the in person votes. The true numbers that come with the mail in counting process dont really show up for potentially weeks..
If it's close...the fact that he has created a short term distortion of numbers by having most of his votes been done in person as compared to the dems who will be mostly.mail ins...could create the time he needs to do...well...

There's a difference between mail in ballots and absentee ballots.
Trump submits absentee ballots, as do many military who are not able to vote in person, or anyone else for that matter.
Absentee ballots are sent to a military base to be counted.
Where do mail in ballots get sent to for counting?

Im not sure where mail in votes go, I thought I heard something about the post office counting them, which makes a sliver of sense to me as the post office a federal thing
