US 2020 presidential election

[STEMO]

A news reporter from New York has just described Joe Biden as "the democratic front runner". If that's the case, Donald can look forward to another four years......at least. The democratic offerings for the election seem to consist of small time politicians with an axe to grind, apart from Joe Biden, of course.
I'm not saying Donald for another four years would be a bad thing, I'm just disappointed that the democrats don't seem to have anyone to challenge him, which you would think would be quite easy given his the way he divides opinion.

Mmmm after 4 years of the terrible Donald, you'd think that the Yanks would swing hard left and go for Bernie Sanders! 

I say hard left in the context of American politics mind, as I expect Bernie Sanders would view Corbyn as a proper commie!

Before the US elections there are bigger things to worry about, like  the growing political conflict between the US and Iran.

If what has been on the news today about the bombing of two oil tankers by, it is strongly suggested by the US, Iran sponsored terrorists, then Trump will, strangely, be the man to face that down. He is unpredictable enough, but strong enough, to do what a US President should do if the United States of America is threatened, as it is in effect being from Iran.  Weak USA Presidents are not required now!

It never ceases to amaze me Lizzie, the level of affection you seem to hold for Trump.

I know, I once detested him.  But he has grown on me as a man that is not a usual American politician, but is out to do business and not take fools gladly.  Strangely, very strangely, fate may have made him the man to be President at this time to fend off very serious threats to our way of life in the West, that, we know, one day will change as that is the way of life; power and the centre of the Universe is already moving to the East.

AS Roosevelt was fated to be the strong President in 1939 and backed Britain, ready for full commitment on 7th December 1941, we may be ready to see fate played out with Trump, especially given the very dangerous political situation with Iran.  He could be that strong leader known in history to come.

History will be the judge though as always.

But as we all know Lizzie history is written by the winners.

Oh yes Baza, how true that is!

Trump is just what that country needed.  And he has done a pretty decent job, unlike the morons before him.

I see he tweeted yesterday about how much he enjoyed meeting the Prince of Whales.

Charles has put a bit of weight on.

I've always been kinda indifferent about Trump, largely because I've never believed that he would do anything much to affect my life and mostly because I've refused to join in with the general hysteria about the guy. 

However, I find him generally quite amusing, so if he gets another term and he carries on thus, it's no bad thing TBH.

That is exactly been my thoughts Sir Tigger

From thinking he was not my kind of guy, I have turned right round and think actually, once you push the fake news away, he is ok and could well prove the perfect American President for these unstable times. He is a force, not like the peanut farmer Carter, and so very different with his approach. He does not take fools gladly and that in particular think is a good thing when dealing with politicians

See he has had another go at Sajid Javid this morning, he really doesn,t like him does he. Sorry, meant  Sadiq Khan. DOH
