Isn’t trump correct on calling out fake news?
He's probably right on some of it, but it tends to lose authenticity when he uses it on anyone tries to scrutinise him. He think it's an actual answer to call reporters hacks, or to avoid answering a valid question because he doesn't like the network they are from.
Any brittle manchild who can't handle questions from journalists should be no where near nuclear buttons.

Some states have to mobilise their national guard now to prevent Trump getting Federal Government from commandering the medical supplies that they have been forced to acquire worldwide just after him saying they had to do it themselves.if he doesn't cling to power he is going to jail as will all his corrupt GOP, so called Republican enablers around him.

Remember "Everything Trump Touches Dies". He hasn't ran a successful business in his life. Money Launderer In Chief.
And I note that the criminal charges he is facing may find their way to Court.

And we don't know how many sealed indictments await him after he leaves office or is forced from office. It will be huge and tremendous.

Maybe it's just the same weird obsession that the Alt-right have had with Jeremy Corbyn over the past few years?

As a Socialist, I couldn't personally give a toss about Donald Trump. He's simply an absolute embarrassment; and a pretty disgusting, vile human-being. However, when it comes to being President of the USA, these are simply amongst the pre-requisites required.

Edit: Ironically, just sent to me by my Brother-in-Law:

If Donald Trump had captained The Titanic.....

- There is no iceberg.
- We won't hit an iceberg.
- I knew it was an iceberg before anyone else knew.
- Nobody knows icebergs better than I do.
- The penguins brought the iceberg here.
- No one could have predicted the iceberg.
- We cannot allow an iceberg to stop our ship.
- The crew is spreading fake news about icebergs.
- Some of you have to drown.
- I am the best Captain, ask anyone.

That basically sums the pr!ck up, doesn't it.

Perhaps due to the fact that people like yourself have become a brainwashed right wing cult. The people have been conned on both sides off the pond. People maybe are starting to wakeup.

I know it's not easy for right wingers and cultists to admit they got it wrong and it has and will cost lives. Conman and Dictators and wannabe Dictators are making a mess of the world. Remember we are only guests on this planet!

The whole "world is going to pot".

Willie Nelson has a song about it.

Why does me being in a cult mean you have to obsess over a foreign leader?

He is a cult leader. He definitely is no world leader. The world wouldn't be in such a mess if we had have had leadership. Look how under Obama's leadership, how they managed to more or less contain the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. They organised the world and got the resources and expertise in before the "Genie" got out of the box. Obama relied on the experts. He didn't pretend to be the expert and to know more than the experts.

History has a habit of repeating itself. If you remember the 1930 depression led to ultra Nationalism and the birth of opportunistic madmen Dictators popping up all over the place.

That wannabe Emporer is a threat to America and the World.

I can’t believe anybody is not only that stupid to compare Ebola with the corona virus, but credits Obama with eradicating it.
On the other hand yes I can.

Scientists are going to be the only ones that can help find a vaccination. I only listen to the medical experts and Scientists. You cant trust most Politicians.

I guarantee the Five Eyes Intelligence services (US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand) were directly warning about this back in November/December. NATO would have been sharing intelligence also. The PM and the President would've been briefed. Why did they choose to ignore? What was their strategies? Looks like New Zealand, Canada and Australia were better prepared along with Germany.

No chance. He can only win by voter suppression, by blocking early voting and mail in voting(he needs a low turnout), by lying, spreading hatred & fear, he needs foreign interference & misinformation. And we know this will happen again just like in 2016. He is trying to stoke racial fears again. That's he building a wall. Next minute he will be on about Caravans from the South. Foreigners bring in disease and crime. That Biden has dementia just like he tried to say Hillary had a health issue. All BS. A Blue Wave Tsunami is on its way just like November 2018. Time to put his crime family away were they should have been many years ago.

Now, I heard somebody say that predicts the future quite accurately, that he would won in 2020 and be removed through Impeachment. I'd say, of elected he would definitely be impeached for his handling of this Pandemic.

I would never ever think of myself as a leftie. I'm liberal.

Roryrocks, it’s ludicrous to compare corona with Ebola, to start with Ebola was mostly restricted to Western Africa and it killed approximately the same number as already dead in the u.k. it was not a pandemic, and people living outside Africa were not in lockdown and fearing for their safety. Don’t be ridiculous.

That makes no sense Redcard. If you read my earlier post, it was contained in Western Africa due to swift actions by the Pandemic Response Teams that were rushed in from worldwide. If Trump was in charge then it would have quickly become a Pandemic. Know your facts.

Just look at great job Governors in Washington State and California have done. They were forced to go it alone and had to beg for Federal Government assistance. If it wasn't for the many decent, mostly Democratic Party Governor's, The USA would be in an even worse position. The man is barking mad and he is trying to bully them into hailing "Dear Leader".

Trump is a leader, just a divisive one. But that's always been his style and seems to have got him what he wants.

Obama was no saint either, so let's stop with that. He loved those sneaky drone strikes, and his dithering over Syria cost lives.

He’s more of a billionaire bully than leader.

Disagree.

If he wasn’t a billionaire, he wouldn’t be ‘leading’ anyone.

Maybe, but that doesn't alter the fact that right now he is a leader. Just one that many, if not most, people do not like. And being likeable has never been a leadership prerequisite throughout human history.

He was never a billionaire. Why do you think he has been blocking his tax returns? He even tried to get the IRS to doctor his tax returns. He is up to his eyeballs with corruption especially in connection to money laundering through Deutsche Bank. I'm not going to go into it all as so many books have already been written on the ongoing grifting and corruption.
