    An actual piece of crap would be better than Trump

    If you don't agree with him or his policies you are going to say that. Yet millions of Americans support him.
    Vast majority of Irish people don't like him or his personality. Makes zero difference on election Day or any other day for that matter. Trump articles generate clicks. He has been a godsend to media companies

    One man's meat is another man's poison.

    This is why (some) Americans love him

    But who will replace him. Biden is a pretty crappy alternative

    Trump won't have any problem calling a rally with 50000 people. Will Biden do it? That will be totally undermining his own position but also losing the propaganda war as americans like these big rallies. It sways their thinking. His only hope is that the rallies become a hot bed for coronavirus.
    If either of them get it their goose is cooked too.

    And the crooked government ad campaign to make it look like only women get battered and abused.

    Have heard ads where it was the man being abused - so not sure what you are on about

    I would bet my house that Trump will win the election and it'll be a landslide. A lot of people here don't understand Americans, they take patriotism to a new level and the vast majority see this as an evil Chinese virus and only Trump has the balls to stick it to them. They see China as coming for their world superpower title and they are having none of it.

    Yeah to be fair there's a dedicated male helpline. Progress has been made.

    The male aspect of the campaign was highlighted in media coverage of the campaign when it launched.

    Spain added 2,672 new cases and 371 new deaths this afternoon which implies that tomorrow morning's 24 hour update for deaths could be well up in to the 600's with a big surge in new cases too.

    It would be the continuation of a reversal this week in the otherwise positive trajectory prior.

    Remember, Spain has just tentatively reopened construction sites and some smaller stores and a lot of people are nervous about how the government is handling the situation.

    That was only two or three days ago though wasnt it, it would be too soon for it to cause any increase in cases yet I would have thought

    Joe Biden hasn't a chance, he will struggle in the live debates against Trump.

    I agree that both sides get battered and abused. Was woken up earlier by it happening near by.

    Another ugly side of this pandemic is the domestic violence.

    Even when it is not domestic abuse the fact is tempers are always more likely to flare at times when people are cooped up together for prolonged periods.

    One thing that's got to be handed to him is his ability to argue and never accept being at fault. Also four years of non stop media pressure. Article after article. He looks the same now as when he was elected. A bit fatter but that's it.

    Obama went grey and aged about 15 years

    China are definitely coming for that position. Trumps trade war was only the beginning of worsening relations between the two.

    We need to exterminate all bats. Throughout history mankind has exterminates all of its greatest enemies such as the dinosaurs, Count Dracula, the Loch Ness monster, the dodo and ET. I can’t think of anything good bats do except for the batman films. They even interfered with the lovely pangolin. I hope president trump is re-elected and the first law he pass is the worldwide extermination of bats. ��


    i know you are joking , but anyway
    Maybe we are their greatest enemy , and they are exterminating us ?

    We aren't American. Different people different mindset.
    I mean we have an openly gay taoiseach with a migrant background. No body cares. It's not an issue here. It's a nothing
    Do you think they would have that in the United States? No chance. There was meltdown over there from republicans when it was suggested that Obama was from Kenya!
    Different people

    Too soon to bring the tentative reopening into things over there. Perhaps increased testing catching more cases similar to Italy? Deaths will unfortunately remain high even if new cases reduce
