And if he dies, would that also be a tactic? The man who laughs at conspiracy theories suddenly believes in one when it suits him. Predictable behaviour. You are another inserting your own narrative. I did not say I believed it at all! I said that it would be questioned because of his past deviousness and the potential tactical advantages it might bestow. I have no more idea than anyone else whether it is true. Only that it will be questioned.

Andy yet the MSM are actually saying this will hurt Trump if he is self isolating at the White House. He is not allowed to campaign from there which gives his team a real headache. Which is why I said that whether this produces more sympathy or scorn is as yet unknown. No-one knows how this will play out. If he gets really sick, needs hospitalisation, ventilation and an induced coma then Pence will have to step in to perform certain duties. It is even possible he might have to withdraw from the ballot! If he "fights on like a man", keeps on tweeting, issues the odd picture or two looking worn out but still working, then some will suggest it's all an act and he is milking sympathy. I don't personally see not campaigning hurting him at all. He won't lose his base whatever happens but he will gain some from those who are tired of all his rhetoric and sympathise over his illness.

The most amazing silent war is occurring and many stick to Boris announcements I await your admission of error when this "something major" doesn't happen! I won't be holding my breath for either!

Only that it will be questioned. Spare me your disingenuous claptrap. You would be the first to insinuate such a tactic and, of course, then deny you believe it exactly as you have. You aren't fooling anyone.

What I want most is for the USA to re-enter the climate accord, it ends physically just after the election. There is nothing good about Trump. When you read about California, which seems to have become a permanent disaster zone, how anybody could be in such denial defeats me. To say that he is a good president simply because he hasn't bombed the s**t out of some tiny country, shows desperation. He cannot intervene with state policy. Its is a democrat state so it is a democrat problem. Edited by cryrst (02 Oct 2020 11.59am)

As I said, I wouldn't put it past him, or his campaign, as deviousness is their normal, but I am NOT insinuating anything at all because, like everyone else, I have no idea at all whether he is really sick. We may never know! So for the moment I will take it at face value and observe. Just the possibility that a POTUS might be thought capable of such tactics speaks volumes.

Edited by cryrst (02 Oct 2020 11.59am) Those responsible for "state policy" cannot sign international agreements, or withdraw from them. They cannot lead the world in a fight in which the whole world needs to be united. "State policy" manages local issues, which is Trump's own response as a climate change denier. I didn't think you were.

Edited by cryrst (02 Oct 2020 11.59am) Although the USA has withdrawn from the Paris accord there is nothing to stop individual states bringing in their own policies which match the accords and many of the more liberal ones have done this.

The same could be said of any modern politician, as you well know. You attack Trump because he is an easy target.

Edited by cryrst (02 Oct 2020 11.59am) Climate change is the worlds biggest problem, yet the president of the USA distances himself from it. Covid-19? A hoax according to Trump, well he has been well and truly found out now, even unfortunately catching it himself. A democrat win will hopefully restore international co-operation and sanity.
