    No particularly no. He is still president so he should have attended the whole event

    Thankfully this won't be for much longer, hopefully the American people will look back on the last four years and realise what a mistake it was to vote this idiotic narcissistic fool into office and ensure it never happens again.

    Who knows. That's for them to decide at the end of the day.

    One out and another one it seems

    I assume you mean by that line that Biden is comparable to Trump. Can you expand on how you think Trump and Biden are similar in anyway? I'm struggling to see how Biden could realistically be compared to the walking disaster that is Trump.

    What? Did you mean one out and another in?


    Are you claiming Biden is a narcissist? If so on what basis?

    While there is always going to be a discussion is the absence of a detailed examination of Trump by a qualified phycologist, there is ample evidence that Trump is a classic narcissist, that could never be argued about Biden.

    I suspect that either

    1. You mistyped the above

    or

    2. You don't know what a narcissist is.

    Trump Jr . Surely will chance a run. The Donald got 70 million votes. There is an appetite for that brand of politics.

    I note you ignored my question.

    Can you please explain why you think Biden may be a narcissist compared to Trump?

    Your clarification is still unclear.

    A poster said Trump was a fool and narcissist. You replied "one out another in" given that Trump lost and Biden won it is natural to assume you meant that is the one coming in.

    Clearly Biden is not a narcissist.

    Are you saying that you meant Trump jr in 2024 is "another in" and therefore he is the 2nd foolish narcissist you are referring to?

    trump Jr has displayed none of the qualities that got snr to his role. If Trump politics is the new way of doing things, they're certainly using an old, and bad, political method of name recognition

    Are you in favour of big game hunting or is it just not a red line issue for you?

    No I'm anti hunting for sport. Shot a rabbit when I was much younger and it stayed with me for a few days and after that I always hated hunting for sport.
    Millionaires travelling to Africa to pay to have an animal put in front of them to shoot dead is vile. They probably just dropped the animal on the spot and headed back to their hotel for dinner. Its horrible

    What about you? Are you a big game hunting fan?

    So then by your support of Trump jr you're saying it's not a red line issue for you. It's not a big enough deal for you to say no?

    incidentally I do hunt but I only kill what I can eat.

    Killing animals for fun would be a big issue for a lot of people. Trumps sons have killed hundreds. Cats, elephants, bears, crocodiles, giraffes...

    You'd think a lot of things that the trumps do would be deal breakers, not just the big game hunting

    Last I heard the American bookies gave Trump a 10% chance.
    Whatever happens this election will be a permanent scar on the face of American history.

    A poster specifically quoted a comment made by me yesterday. Poster went back pages to find it and then wrote that Trump went to play golf instead of showing at the meeting.

    He did show at the meeting. We all know he did. That is my entire interest in it

    Actually I only went back 1 page :)

    I must say that I'm in full agreement with you on this.

    When I see the shot of Jr on his "safari" I'm reminded at just how comically obscene the Trumps are in terms of their behaviour and appearance. Were we to watch a TV drama with a character that outlandish in their displays of wealth or power, we'd consider it an obnoxious cliché and lazy writing. Vulgar, really. Yet here these tropes are, bold as brass in their gold plated mansions, 80s yuppie hair and game hunts.

    Real life "American Psycho " yuppie stuff. The business card scenes are brilliant. Check out the font!

    He attended part of the event, then skipped before the Covid part to go and play golf.

    Which is a good indicator of his respect for the office, his attitude towards his job and his opinion of Covid. Not to mention respect for either other leaders or his own country.

    I'm sure all the people who've been let down on his watch will be pleased to know he cheats at the golf.

    Does he have any redeeming characteristics ?

    There was an interview a couple of years ago with a guy saying the same thing. What was interesting was that the guy said Trump was a good enough golfer to win most matches fairly, but that he cheated anyway - it's his MO, every time.

    Kind'a fascinating that she was welcomed by the campaign and then belatedly seen by it as extreme and had to go. I was wondering how she had swung from being anti-Trump to being a dyed-in-the-wool supporter.

    Shes completely fallen down the Qanon conspiracy hole, did you see the stuff she was spouting on newsmax yesterday? Its even worse than the tripe she made up for Rudys press conference last week.

    Question for the U.S residents [one I don't trust to google-answers]: why are the GOP indicated as Red and the Dems as Blue on the state electoral counts maps while in print the Dems are leftie-liberal and the GOP conservatives? Usually [in words] the reverse would apply as designations.

    Do you mean that because some/many/not all other countries tend to use red to indicate 'Labour' and blue for 'Conservative' the US should do so also? Like a kind of international law? They could use green and purple, its their country, their parties, they can use what they like!

    Just, out of interest, did a quick google and it seems that its a fairly recent definition and somewhat arbitrary.
