Q - imagine being stupid enough to believe that Trump was waging war against anything other than the onset of diabetes, senility and a nasty slice off the tee?

Bar no for reasons of fairness it certainly made our economy and exports work in the sense of bringing in a lot of money. Although look what happened when we lost the empire and had to compete on the quality and price of what we were supplying

So latest news is that Trump walked out of an interview with 60 Minutes, didn't return for a joint interview with Pence, but went straight to Twitter complaining about about the interviewer not wearing a mask. He doesn't seem a very stable genius atm. He must have f**ked up badly to be pre-empting ...

Trump going after Fauci again this morning, on Fox. "Not a team player" now apparently. Bizarre.
