    The man is more interested in protecting his image than his people. At press conferences he surrounds himself with nodding sycophants who either smile or look serious according to the script and reporters - beware! Ask him a question he hasn't got an immediate answer to and he will attack the reporter with his "terrible reporter" and "that's a nasty question" as we saw last week to one who only asked if he had anything to tell the public. We are all now familiar with his denying having said something that can be easily checked on YouTube or press back issues and calling anything going against his statements "fake news".

    Sound bites, sound bites, all the way. But familiar sound bites can be reassuring and the American public are so used to being told how great the USA is, how almost god-like their presidents are, that it's difficult for them to see through surface bullsh1t and think for themselves.

    Republicans and Democrats can see only their own particular leader as the only answer to the nation's problems and neither will give credit to the other. The back-biting goes on for years and Trump encourages every attack on Obama that comes along.

    A president who informs his public by Twitter is surely one with a personality problem. Notts recently had an owner with that obsession and we know how well that went.

    I will leave the Trump loving/hating to the Americans,you know the people who actually live there & witness what is happening with their own eyes, i do of course realise that they lack the insight & knowledge of some on here (one of whom actually knows an American apparently) but obviously this is just another thread designed to give the same old posters something to argue about.

    Crickey, that's told us. Anyway, I'm surprised Trump hasn't gotten into bed with the Belarusian president who thinks Saunas and Vodka can ward off the virus. How stupid is that eh, everyone knows taking a sauna won't help.

    It's very funny, but it shows how difficult it is to parody Trump. There's very little room for exaggeration, because even if it was the real Trump saying those words it wouldn't surprise anyone!

    In the final analysis it could yet turn out that locking down the planet and effectively crashing the global economy won't help either, but it's what the scientists are currently recommending and to some extent it placates the human need to 'do something'. It is what it is.

    My lad had to tell me it was an impersonator.
