In the end the rain comes down, washes clean the streets of a blue sky town.

Yes,it is.But I don’t think the poll here is reflective of how people in Australia think about Trump generally.I think his support in this country would be well under 20%.Personally,I don’t know anyone who can stand a bar of him.

^ Yes, I think you're right on that. And would probably be the same in most other countries, too (perhaps with the exception of Russia, Hungary, Poland and a few other Christian fundamentalist-dominated places like that where Trump and Trump-style politics remain popular).

From my part of the country (Victoria - Bendigo) I would confidently say that the support for Trump will be well under 10%. Among the friends and relatives of our family, no one (even those who support the Liberals) supports Trump.

I can’t believe it’s come to this, still can’t believe he one the first time, even though I get why. But was Biden really the best the opposition could come up with? I try to avoid political discussions I just can’t be bothered. With the arguments, my hubby is a trump fantastic, me, I think he did some good, some nuts, some bad, at the least he hopefully shook up the establishment. I do know a couple of other trump supporters that have come out of the woodwork, one surprised me with her out there supporting, but then she’s one of those moronic boots out for dan nutters too.

One thing that has happened I think isthere is less mystery? Less protection? for the first family. Certainly less respect! As Harry has brought down the queen of England. Not a bad thing. To a point.

Trump is telling people he has got the coronavirus.

True or false?

Election tactic for the sympathy vote?

Incompetence and carelessness?

Or both?

The timing is highly suspicious to me and it wouldn't surprise if it's just some desperate act by the people behind Trump to shift focus from his debate antics.

Still if he croaks it I'm happy to say I was wrong.

Well, if he dies, the most you’ll know is that if it was a stunt, it didn’t quite end the way he wanted.

Well is this a cunning stunt to revive his position or will he end up being a stunning c___ suffering from Covid? In all seriousness I hope he recovers well as there is a more than 90% chance of recovery. Get well Trumpy.
