🇺🇸 💣 The US Presidential Race

John Oliver … our best export :laughing:

14.50 … It’s well scripted but he’s genuinely angry here

Might need a proxy to watch these :slight_frown:

I know, I know ‘polls’ aren’t the most accurate thing at the minute - but they certainly aren’t looking good for Trump right now.

Michael Moore reckons that Trump was never serious about running for President.

There was a similar article in the Guardian. It doesn’t really add up. I enjoy his films but Michael Moore is maybe as much of a narcisisst as Trump.

What the Times has been able to pin down in their newly published analysis is simply disturbing. Donald Trump, a possible next president of the United States, is hundreds of millions of dollars in debt to lenders literally spanning the globe, including, perhaps most shockingly, the Bank of China.

If the New York Times can stand that one up it could be the end of the road for Trump - which in a battle between two arseholes would be a good start.

There are big questions swirling around Clinton’s health at present. She fainted during a 9/11 memorial service. It has been revealed she has pneumonia. Not a great condition to develop at any time of life; normally happens because of other underlying issues.

She’ll probably now have her entire medical history put on public display. This will shift the attention back to Trump who, apparently, produced a bizarre letter from his doctor which it looked like he’d written himself.

EDIT: this was Trump’s doctor’s note:

“To Whom My Concern [sic]”, it read: “Over the past 39 years, I am pleased to report that Mr Trump has had no significant medical problems. Mr Trump has had a recent complete medical examination that showed only positive results. Actually, his blood pressure, 110/65, and laboratory test results were astonishingly excellent.”

That’s good then!

I think it’s important that the American public know their next leader is physically capable of fulfilling their duties. A thorough going over by some independent medical professionals would seem to be called for.

Can I suggest Dignitas?
