Why should you always see things from this perspective. Everything against trump? Hmm. IMO, it was also a good opportunity to show true leadership, he goofed it with so much unserious talk. Now it may cost him his office.

He had only himself to beat but he couldn't help his personality. This is what they call self-sabotage.

JohnnyPalmer:


America is not Nigeria where the President can keep quiet on urgent pressing matters
I admit Trump talks too much
But Americans hold their leaders accountable
He has to talk on the pandemic
Making sensible, reassuring comments is different from uncouth insensitive statements. He doesnt miss an opportunity to say something that ALWAYS hurts even his base even though they act like its cool. Trump and Buhari two different sides of the same coin.

Buhari would keep quiet when his house is on fire and later come out to blame everyone but himself while Trump set fire on his own house with his mouth and blame everyone but himself!

Whether we admit it or not, so many hardcore republicans voted Democrat this time round because instead of expanding his base, Trump alienated so many people with his uncouth nature if not he will be home and dry by now.

If you dont believe me, compare his first debate where even his camp knew he performed horribly and the second where he put a leash on his big mouth!

No matter how Trump deals with the virus, the democrats where ready to spin it regardless.
If Trump imposed a national lock down,they were going to use it against him that he's taking away their freedom. If he didn't impose a national lockdown like he did, they were going to spin it as not caring about the people and allowing Americans to die like what they are currently using against him. The Virus was just a perfect event for them.

You know how I know that Democrats will spin it if trumped had locked down earlier? It was because Biden was against the travel Ban trump imposed on China in the early days of the virus, when the virus was still restricted to China.

So there was no way trump will win in the eyes of democrats, which ever way he chose to handle it.
All those Democrats followers are just naive , thinking Biden cares about protecting them against virus. It was just an end to a means of grabbing power, just like Buhari used Jonathan corruption issues against him, in which Buharis followers thought he cared about fighting corruption, not knowing Jonathan was a learner when it comes to Buhari corrupt administration grin

Is it only the US that had covid? Trump could have used the Covid pandemic to boost his ratings and secure victory if he took it seriously. Just like Boris did in the UK, the New Zealand primeminister. and every other leader.
If he showed leadership during covid he would have crushed Biden cos people won't see the need to change a president during crisis.
That is how Bush won his second term re-election.

You dont get it do u? Its not about spinning this is human lives we are talking about, the fact is that donald trump downplayed the virus and this has lead to the death of over 200,000 people and there is no moral justification for that stop trying to mix politics with epidemiology.

Coronavirus vs Trump, really. Biden wouldn't have stood a chance at all without the pandemic!

Still too early to call, also why have some states stopped counting.. mail in ballots are going to be a big issue.

Prediction - Supreme Court
Re: US Presidential Election 2020 (Live Updates) by davodyguy: 2:26pm On Nov 04, 2020
A question you might reasonably have is why would Biden take Michigan if he's still ~13k votes behind. Answer is simple - there are ~360k votes left in Wayne County (Detroit) and if they split as they currently are (67% Biden / 32% Trump) Biden lands a net gain of ~100k votes+.

The winner will be known in few days time. But the actual voting by the electors will take place in December.

The electors for each state is expected to vote for the winner of that state. Except in some few cases.

Plus the interview he had where he admitted he knew the virus was dangerous but downplayed it. Who does that and then grants an interview about it? Only Trump.

Biden should just open the USA for Nigerians to come in abeg.

I think Biden will win. I also think the problem in this election is not the polling industry getting it wrong, it's the fact that this many Americans took a hard look at Trump and determined "yeah, I want four more years of that

Joe Biden has won absentee ballots counted in Pennsylvania by a significant margin so far, data from the Secretary of State showed early Wednesday. If he carried the remaining absentee ballots by a similar margin, he would win the state, Nate Cohn writes.

Trump didn't stop Nigerians from legally entering the country.

The problem is a lot of Nigerians enter the US illegally while some refuse to renew their papers after they expire. You don't expect Trump to look another way while people illegally migrate to his country, do you?
If you were the president wouldn't you do the same thing?

As long as you're entering the country "legally" Trump has no problem with you.

PREDICTION:

Wisconsin is Biden's. Michigan is trending to Biden. Philadelphia will go to Biden if the remaining approximately 1.2-1.8m ballots continue to flow blue at the current 78% rate. Arizona and Nevada are going to Biden. Democrats will win with 290.

enter illegally? You should have said, They entered legally but refuse to leave before their visa expires.. It is the Mexicans that entered American illegally. True be told, Nigerians are not the only one guilty of this.. Other countries stay back too

See as Michigan is quietly and mildly turning to blue from red. Sincerely the mail in ballot votes will do the wonders and magic.

With 13% left majorly mail in ballot. God be with Trump o.

Correct
But the 0.5% difference is just about 20k+ votes
Detroit with about 300k votes is yet to be counted

Michigan will most likely swing blue at the end of the day
