Donald Trump has done even more for the field of psychology than he has for America.
Psychologist will write dissertations for centuries on the TDS phenomenon and it’s ability to even destroy a country. I’m convinced it’s related to Stockholm Syndrome. Love your captors. Hate the one trying to free you.

Wear a mask. Keep your nose behind it. Take this seriously.
What is wrong with you people who won't do this??? I don't understand. I just don't understand.

It's so silly that people think Trump is so much better on ME foreign policy than Obama. Trump is ALL talk. He talks negative about the military industrial complex but then gives billions in weapons to saudi Arabia's opressive regime shortly after they assassinated a journalist.
The paradox is that Obama, the supposed peacemaker, turned out to be a mirror image of Bush on foreign policy.
To set himself apart from Bush’s aggressive “hard power” approach, Obama campaigned to become president on a foreign policy platform of “smart power.” Yet in office, Obama relied heavily on raw power, waging serial military campaigns from Somalia and Yemen to Iraq and Syria and initiating “targeted killing” of even U.S. citizens with suspected ties to terrorism.
Obama championed “a nuclear-free world” only to quietly pursue an extensive expansion of the U.S. nuclear arsenal, already the world’s costliest and most sophisticated.
Indeed, if one disregards his softer tone in comparison with Bush’s strident rhetoric, Obama’s record shows him to be even more interventionist than Bush. Last year, for example, the United States, according to an analysis of military data, dropped more than 26,000 bombs in seven countries. This happened under a president who, while deploring the ethos of “might makes right,” told the United Nations that “right makes might.”
In truth, Obama, like Bush, paid little heed to international law — or even American law — when it came in the way of his overseas military operations.
For example, Obama did not seek U.N. or U.S. congressional authorization before launching an air war in Syria. In fact, he speciously justified his bombing campaign in Syria by relying on the unrelated congressional authority that Bush secured to go after those who “planned, authorized, committed or aided” the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
The 2011 U.S.-led operation against Libya’s Moammar Gadhafi began as a supposed humanitarian mission, only to quickly turn into a regime-change exercise, whose success quickly bred chaos and mayhem in Libya. Although goaded into the Libyan operation by his hawkish secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, Obama will be remembered in history for demolishing Libya in the same way that Bush unraveled Iraq. The collapse of the Libyan state has created a jihadist citadel at Europe’s southern doorstep.
Obama’s CIA-led regime-change operation in Syria, although unsuccessful, contributed to plunging another secular Muslim autocracy into jihadist upheaval.
Obama indeed presided over the birth of the most potent terrorist organization in modern history — Islamic State — which still controls large tracts of territory in Syria and Iraq even 29 months after Obama began an air war against it. As U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has admitted, the Obama team viewed the rise of IS as a possibly useful development to overthrow Syrian President Bashar Assad, only to see it grow into a monster.
Flush with his success in overthrowing Gadhafi — an operation that involved orchestrating an Islamist insurgency in Benghazi city and then launching a NATO aerial-bombardment campaign in the name of “responsibility to protect” — Obama turned his attention to toppling Assad. The main IS force was born in Syria out of the CIA-trained, petrodollar-funded “moderate” rebels who crossed over with their weapons to the hydra-headed group.

The big question is how do you know masks do anything at all? So explain to me how just isolating as much as possible and maintaining 6 feet as much as possible wouldn't have the same outcome with or without masks.

Compare: 4 years of Trump -vs- 47 years of Biden in Government leadership roles.
Holy smokes! www.promiseskept.com...
Keep it going!
Number one on your link.
Social programs. President Trump signed an order to expand apprenticeships in America...
The reality. In America, fewer than 5 percent of young people train as apprentices, the overwhelming majority in the construction trades. In Germany, the number is closer to 60 percent. Why aren't there more Apprentices in America
Not exactly something to brag about. I wont bother chasing the rest of the timeline of accomplishments if the first one quoted is an abject failure.

This video is a silly argument because it assumes people don't cover their face when they sneeze. All masks do is prevent gross people from being gross. If people would just cover their face when they sneeze it would actually protect better than a mask.
