    What I've heard about Kamala Harris, I think US is going to have even more harder days.

    And harder days, I mean for middle class or should I say majority of tax paying citizens.

    Funny notion, word Kamala in my language means horrible. Not kidding.

    No, he wouldn't.

    Tommy Chong might.

    FYI, today is the Throne Speech, which afterwards will be debated, followed by a confidence vote.
    If the Liberals lose the vote, it will trigger an election.
    Lets see if the opposition parties have the guts to go to the polls. :rolleyes:

    For people saying he brokered peace between middle-eastern countries, he actually did a bad job. With the 2022 FIFA cup about to happen in Qatar, and with Qatar being a separate country and an extremely small one, relations between Qatar and other Saudi countries were strained due to jealousy and hatred. It was going just fine till Trump's visit, where he clearly added some sort of fuel to the rivalry and made Saudi completely cut off ties with Qatar. Most of Qatar's raw material import, starting from food to other major factory commodities were coming from Saudi. Thankfully, Qatar's king was smart and educated enough to bring back stability to the country within a night, with the help of other millionaires in the country. Not much articles are circulating online about how Trump played a part in all of this, but NRIs living in Qatar and supportive of the praiseworthy and educated king will tell you how the government is pretty sure Trump played a part in it, with the problem starting within a week after Trump's visit.

    Trump has strained relations all around the world due to his inability to handle authority and power, and the last few months of US economy's downfall and failure to strike down on the illiterate behavior of the anti-mask protestors amid this life threatening virus is proof enough that he doesn't deserve a second chance at Presidency. He may be a great businessman (again, his father left him a huge bank balance to start off with), but definitely that brain isn't enough to run one of the biggest continents on earth.

    So you are blaming Trump for something China caused, ie: the economic downturn due to the Wuhan Coronavirus? For 3 years the economy was doing great, until the virus hit.

    Well, you may be right. Without further facts to support my claim, I don't want to sound like a fool.

    But let me just highlight the facts that I do know, with one of the most populated countries in the world, India. As of 2020, 59.5% of India's total population is considered to be literate, whereas for the US, its 99% [rank wise, US has approximately 66% more literate citizens than India]. As for geography, India's area is about 3 million square kms whereas Us is about 9 million, which is 300% more than India's. As for the population, India has 1.3 billion people whereas US population is about 955.3 million people lesser. Also, as of September 2020, considering the previous quarter, India's GDP is down by 23.9% whereas US is down by 31.7%.

    Based on the above figures, with India having so much more illiterate people in its already humongous population in such a small area, and the US having a near perfect literacy rate with about half the population of India spread over 3 times the geographical size, tell me who did a better job. If I am wrong, educate me, cause I'm always up for learning more.

    This is my honest opinion at the end. China definitely started the COVID virus on purpose in the hopes of bringing down the world economy, while its own flourishes; and it worked. Considering how there were pictures circulating around of the Chinese President roaming around in the country without a mask or gloves surveying the damage, there is a high chance that he was already inoculated, and China is just waiting for a while before it releases the vaccine for a price. What's more proof to my above said fact is how Beijing, the main capital, had literally just 11 cases as of July.

    My point isn't how the economy was hit by China. My point is how poorly it was handled by the commander-in-chief of one of the largest and most powerful countries in the world, with a plethora of resources. And considering how COVID treatment in hospitals costs around 6 lakh INR (around 8200 USD) in India itself, don't even get me started on how pretty sure I am that there is no bar by the government on COVID patient care costs in the US, and how the hospitals, especially private ones, are gonna capitalize on this. Cause the last I heard, in June, it costs around 30000 USD to treat a COVID patient in the US. Definitely handled like a businessman, not a leader.

    What should Trump have done differently? At the end of January he created the Coronavirus Taskforce (including Fauci) and put a halt to flights to China (eventually Europe as well), while Democrats were busy... oh right, Democrats were more focused on the impeachment sham and called the halt on flights to China "racist" and "xenophobic". He's followed Fauci's recommendations throughout. Maybe the problem is Fauci, who said people didn't need to wear masks, his reasoning was so that hospitals could stock up on them and the people wouldn't have them.

    Your comparison between India and the U.S. doesn't make any sense. You quoted several facts, but didn't draw any conclusions based on those facts.

    You are mistaken in believing the economic impact in the U.S. was caused by Trump. The downturn in the U.S. economy was completely due to the actions of the individual governors. The action of the governors also resulted in the number of deaths due to the virus. The president can give guidance to the states, but its the governors that enacts all the actions that are taken by the states. In the areas that the president could control, Trump took action before anyone thought there even was a problem.

    Can the World please have the REAL Trump this time ? The one with attitude ...

    " Earlier today President Donald Trump left Walter Reed Hospital in his motorcade for a quick drive by his supporters outside the hospital. Later President Trump delivered dozens of pizzas to supporters outside the hospital. The president sent several pizzas from Dominoes every 45 minutes. "


    [​IMG]

    Says one supporter, " You know it’s from Trump because the pizza isn’t gluten free. There’s meat on it. Trump’s an alpha. ”

    No cause for alarm. She's only there to administer the hexachlorophene IV.

    (Yes, it's been known to cause brain damage, but in this case no one will notice).

    In this case I'm afraid that I have to agree with pussycat.
    Such brain damage can occur in certain cases, and how it happens has been well documented.

    In Russian sites there are comments that hackers from St. Petersbourg Hackers Academy /Russia/
    have said,
    "Donald, we helped you to be President, for a while - but - that was in advance...
    now you have to pay big money!!! Or - we could help Biden for President :) "
