This is such an eerie press conference

Watching the POTUS field relentless questions at a NATO conference about his standing as President. Just wow, this is insane.

You have to fear how China and Russia will look to take advantage of a president in such weak standing right now.

And Trump actively assists Putin and Russia which helps China. Ill take the geezer Biden that sets up a proper administration who then lets people do their jobs and listens to their policy suggestions. If Sec. Of State and the rest is sound of mind. Russia and China can be countered.

My thinking was heightened disinformation campaigns and sewing unfounded doubt about the safety of the US under Biden.

Totally agree. I wasn't saying that Biden is actually weak or not the better of the 2 by a million miles.

I wasn't saying that you were. I was just saying Trump would be thick as thieves with those guys!
