    Who's Trump doing interviews with?

    Any evidence that Biden won't do the debates that he as said he will do?

    He's done interviews with several media outlets the last few months as well as his nightly Covid19 gig where he takes questions.

    Trump lack of understanding about medications/diseases is truly astounding. He reminds me of psych patients I used to work with who would have all the other psychiatric believing he knew more than the consultants. I I think it's a useful analogy for the majority of his supporters.

    The interview with Hannity? Where he was asked about his policies for the next four years and replied with
    Well, one of the things that will be really great, you know the word experience is still good. I always say talent is more important than experience. I’ve always said that. But the word experience is a very important word. It’s an — a very important meaning.


    I never did this before. I never slept over in Washington. I was in Washington, I think, 17 times. All of a sudden, I’m president of the United States. You know the story. I’m riding down Pennsylvania Avenue with our First Lady and I say, ‘This is great. But I didn’t know very many people in Washington. It wasn’t my thing. I was from Manhattan, from New York. Now I know everybody, and I have great people in the administration.”

    Or his car crash Axios interview? Did you watch that? Trumps handlers need to rein him in, hide him back in the white house bunker for a few weeks.

    Trump gives interviews, but going by his replies maybe he should stop.

    Problem is he has a lot of supporters.

    It won't though. People will wise up to Biden hiding and not debating. That's unfortunately a problem for the democrats.

    The democrats have problems but this isn't one of them.

    Do you expect Biden to be out shaking hands and kissing babies and greeting huge crowds? That's a bit problematic at the moment. Trump isn't doing it either because it can't really be done. Biden's speeches and interviews so far have been a lot more coherent than Trump's. Did you watch Trump's interview on HBO?

    Trump takes questions but doesn't answer the questions asked and instead rambles off on tangents. He also completely embarrassed himself when he did have a tough interview i.e. Axios. The worst presidential interview in a very long time.

    have you actually listened to trump speak? incoherent and easily distracted doesn't quite cover it.

    Trump is a master public speaker. He can riff off the cuff for hours and he's genuinely funny when he wants to be. He doesn't couch his message in that slimey gloss people have become tired of since Obama and the Clintons - he tells it like it is. Pence is similar in that regard, actually.

    It's refreshing. It also keeps plenty of journalists in a job. Not that they tend to show any gratitude. Without Trump...they would be all learning to code.

    You get the impression that they value character, as opposed to style over substance. That has been a traditional trait of republican candidates, although I would say Reagan was one of the very few to have both.

    You should trust Biden then if that's the case. He suffered an unspeakable personal tragedy but didn't let it define him or turn him into a bitter man. What harsh realities has Trump suffered? Born with a silver spoon in his mouth and bailed out any time he got himself into trouble. They are worlds apart, both in character and experience.

    Why doesn't Trump drink alcohol?

    he got distraced by a mosquito and started blathering on about sharks and seals. He has trouble finishing thoughts and sentences. he is an incoherent mess.

    Stop that. Trump is a mess of a public speaker but at least he speaks. People want to hear Biden's policies and opinions though. He needs to get out there and start talking to journalists and interviewers from both side of the divide and not people like cardi b

    Because it's dangerous to drink when taking certain medications

    people have said they seen him take it yet you dismiss it far too easily. i wonder why. Don Jr was off his tits after one bump too many before his speech the other night.

    People want to hear Trumps, but when Hannity asked him he went off on a ramble about sleeping in Washington.

    It's not a lie. He's doing interviews with nobody of note.

    His interview with ABC News last Sunday was the second highest rated show of the night just behind 60 Minutes. Seriously, you need to come out from under your rock because you clearly have no idea about what's going on in the world if you're posting this sort of poorly informed nonsense.

    People know Trump is an idiot. Biden needs to prove he has policies and be heard. He needs to be more aggressive and do much more to win the election. I'm fearful he may not

    Biden is doing fine, Trump is doing the work for him. Biden sits at home with his feet up watching Trumps daily shìt show and laughs to himself as Trump literally hands him the presidency.

    He clearly doesn't according to literally every poll there is. Let's be honest here, Biden's main asset as a candidate is that he isn't Trump. He represents a return to normality for those who are sick of it and without some huge win for Trump it looks to me like it'll be enough to get him over the line. Trumps recent public engagements haven't been impressive. The smart play for the Biden campaign is to do just enough to stay in the news and let coronavirus and the subsequent recession win the election for him.

    Seen that before and it's just about the only time that Trump has come across as genuine and sincere.
