    It’s beyond parody at this point.

    The common refrain is “every accusation is an admission.”

    He calls Biden “sleepy” and then literally does it.

    I am waiting for Farty Joe, get ahead of reality.

    This dude is unlike anything ever seen. Save the Hitler or Barnum or whatever equivalents you have.

    One of a kind!

    Interestingly it appears that China is intervening in the 2024 campaign to elect Trump. My guess is that their rationale is that although Trump very often uses anti-Chinese rhetoric in his campaign speeches the Donald is much more easy to manipulate than Biden.
    China’s Advancing Efforts to Influence the U.S. Election Raise Alarms
    Some of the Chinese accounts impersonate fervent Trump fans, including one on X that purported to be “a father, husband and son” who was “MAGA all the way!!” The accounts mocked Mr. Biden’s age and shared fake images of him in a prison jumpsuit, or claimed that Mr. Biden was a Satanist pedophile while promoting Mr. Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan.

    Of course China wants Trump over Biden. China wants to destabilize western democracy and what better way to do that than to have an incompetent anti-democratic US president? Same reason Putin wants Trump to be president again.

    I'm not sure you took the proper inference from the article you linked.

    Sure, they say there's no conclusive evidence of his flatulance. But, and this is from YOUR LINKED ARTICLE;

    .....he had heard from credible sources that Trump's gas was noxious enough to make his lawyers struggle with the smell.



    I think from this it is obvious that what actually happened is that Trump shat himself.

    Yes, it's 100% clear to me that Trump as lost control of both his mind and sphincter. Farty Pants Trump is on all the right wing news sources, yes, that's right, both Twitter and Youtube.

    Um, yeah, that he loves authoritarians and never says a thing that is true? If Xi and Trump both join Tinder it will just shut down. Ultimate Match achieved!

    Seems like you’re more confused than Biden.

    This was an honest mistake on Trump’s part. Trump thought that the Bronx was in Germany.

    I have taken a deep look at Biden’s statement about cannibals. It turns out that he meant to say basketball, not cannibal, and there are a lot of basketball players down there. Todd Golden is recruiting some of them.

    You might want to re-check that. It isn't debunked. Says "Unconfirmed".

    Why do you guys always do that? Redirect, to a conspiracy theory. Sympathetic to the Russians are you? You have zero clue what China may and may not have done. I'm sure they attempted something, they always do, but it was confirmed that Russia was behind the social media misinformation that the trumph followers reposted without even reading the post. The "article" was like one short paragraph, but they didn't even open it to look.

    Nah. An elected Trump would just spread gross discord throughout the Country, and thus China benefits.

    Other than unprecedented entertainment (with epic national embarrassment), what possible good would a debate be at this point?

    Good point but have the debates ever just been scrapped?

    I can’t imagine there’s ever been an election with no debates, but have we ever had an election like this before? I can’t recall a contested primary with no debates before.

    All true. But also don't forget that DT expressly stated that he did not want to remain in alliance with South Korea or Japan last term. Biden has also emphasized building up Asian alliances to contain China. Looks at his list of state dinners to date from Wikipedia

    The other 3 members of the Quad and South Korea - see Quadrilateral Security Dialogue - Wikipedia

    In a joint statement in March 2021, "The Spirit of the Quad," the Quad members described "a shared vision for a Free and Open Indo-Pacific," and a "rules-based maritime order in the East and South China seas," which the Quad members state are needed to counter Chinese maritime claims. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic,[14] Brazil, Israel, New Zealand, South Korea, and Vietnam were invited to "Quad Plus" meetings to discuss their responses to it.[14][15][16] As of 2023, Quad countries together have a combined GDP nominal of US$36.7 trillion (34.7% of the gross world product) and a combined GDP PPP of US$48.1 trillion (27.5% of the world's GDP).[17][vague]

    Though Trump gave it lip service, at least while he wasn't contradicting it by threatening not to remain allied with Japan, Biden leaned in

    Expanding scope[edit]
    On 3 March 2021, The White House, now under president Biden, issued the "Interim National Security Strategic Guidance",[114] and two days later, Australian Prime Minister Morrison announced that the leaders of the Quad would hold their first-ever meeting virtually. Morrison said he had discussed arrangements with US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in recent weeks.[115] The next week, on 12 March, the first summit meeting was held virtually by US President Biden.[119] Further development of the Quad included the launches of the senior-level Quad Vaccine Experts Group, the Quad Climate Working Group, and the Quad Critical and Emerging Technology Working Group.[120] It had been reported before the summit meeting that the four countries are working to develop a plan to distribute COVID-19 vaccines to countries in Asia as part of a broader strategy to counter China's influence,[121] and that India had urged the other three countries to invest in its vaccine production capacity.[122] The next summit meeting  was to be held in person by the end of 2021.[14] In March 2021, the Quad pledged to respond to the economic and health impacts of COVID-19.[14]

    You are correct that China realizes that a second Trump administration will greatly diminish US world power, both by design and by incompetence when unintended. Plus Trump generally hates the very concept of the United States. Remember Lee Kwan Yew's quote on why he thought the US would remain ascendant over China

    “China can draw on a talent pool of 1.3 billion people, but the United States can draw on a talent pool of 7 billion and recombine them in a diverse culture that enhances creativity in a way that ethnic Han nationalism cannot.”

    Lee Kuan Yew

    Trump wants to remove that advantage, basically to form a US ethno-state that is smaller than the Han ethno-state
