At the top of the list of Trump's failures is his inept handling of Covid19.
More than 220,000 dead, more than 8,000,000 sickened and an economy in shambles devastating the lives of dozens of millions of Americans while Trump and his handful of fellow 'elite' profit.
Strangerland
The election of Ardern in NZ, the strong support for Merkel in Germany, and the continuing popularity of Trudeau in Canada show that the people want leaders who have shown strong leadership during covid, rather than leaders who try to place the blame on anyone/anything else.
Biden is leading by example. Trump is setting an example of how not to lead.
Strangerland
Unlike Trump, Biden has laid out his plans in full detail: https://joebiden.com/joes-vision/
Trump's plan for medicare:
* Bigger
* Better
* Cheaper
* More People
The details on how he will achieve that? None. Just that he's going to do it, after not doing it for four years.
Strangerland
Whoa, quality post filled with logic, facts, and data dude. Blows everything out of the water.

Finally. I thought Joe and Barack were best buddies? It's almost as if Barack has been afraid of getting his reputation soiled/exposed by campaigning for his BFF, and VP, Joe "I need a nap by 10am" Biden. Obama took time out of his busy year to talk to 15 people. It must be exhausting.
Strangerland
Yes, the records of the candidates should be strongly considered when voting.
Trump - failed economy, a diseased populace, full of civil unrest. The whole Trump candidacy is 'vote for me, cause under Biden, America will look like it does under me'.
Exactly. Remember the guy who refused to call out Russia for putting bounties on the heads of American soldiers.
Strangerland
Trump - where the buck stops there.
Of course, your team wants to try to pretend it's not. But it is for the majority of people.
And when the virus came about, the virus became part of politics. Particularly since Trump called it a "Democrat Hoax".
NCIS Reruns
Obama's not the only one. George W. Bush and his extended family have made clear they are supporting Biden over Trump.
kokoro7
"past behavior is the best indicator of future behavior."
So . . . we're headed, if Joe wins, for 4 years of his not having an original thought, being at the beck and call of liberal socialists, and smelling young girls' hair. Further, Xi and Putin will make mincemeat of him.
PTownsend
Trump knows his base is made up mainly of white nationalists and pro-authoritarian, national socialists. The mere mention of Obama drives them to their safe rooms where they get weapons preparing to attack 'others', including alien reptiles.
arrestpaul
That would be a good indicator that Biden will begin resending American jobs to China, and Mexico. Again. AND Joe has already, repeatedly, promised to raise everyone's taxes.
quercetum
It is said that these states Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania will decide the election.

Excellent speech from a real leader.
Watch out for trump meltdown on Twitter today and possibly during tomorrow’s debate.
arrestpaul
Remember how often the democrats used to claim that the Bush family was stoopid?
nishikat
No worries. Trump will refuse to leave and his people will violently guard the WH to ensure Trump continues his presidency. Also I like the new TrumpCare policy of no mandate but covers 100% pre existing conditions. Biden will also be sending jobs to Japan as well
ulysses
The trump team’s campaign os slandering Biden and his son are backfiring.
It was trump’s China bank accounts yesterday and Giuliani today. This ship is sinking faster than anyone expected .

No fan of the Nobel laureate as Potus, but after four years of Trump's dog whistles and bull-horns, it's apparent that the black-white American still signifies as a litmus-test for racist animus and makes plenty of folks reach for their sheets. Let's hope that the end of Trumpism will mark the beginning of a new social contract for people "of color".
nishikat
Bush left the WH and respects the system but Trump doesn't and will remain and never leave. Yes stupid but they respect the system

It not the government jobs to create jobs unless you work for the government, Trump has created a lots of jobs for lawyers

And you know this factually because you interviewed every single whgle white voter? Wow!
I don't know the correlation with the reptile thing, but Obama did this before for Hillary so it's expected..ok and?

Trump is burning through his campaign cash and is going down like Trump University
Bob Fosse
trump isnt changing anyone’s mind, just losing his.
Tokyo-Engr
Sadly, the U.S. is a lost cause. Out of around 350,000,000 people we have these 2 jokers to choose from. Trump is a buffoon and we have the former President and 1st lady (who calls us racist for moving out of black neighborhoods from Martha’s Vinyard weighing in).
The political class and so called elites have masterfully divided the nation to the point it is nearly beyond salvage.
I support neither candidate nor either of the 2 “mainstream” parties. Gonna sit this one out
Bob Fosse
Come on man. How often have you made sweeping generalizations about groups of people?
ulysses
trump's tv ratings are much below Biden's.
His campaign is fast running out of cash.
The daily revelations on him and his criminal sidekicks is turning even some of the racists away from him.
That's one bad hole he has dug himself in!!!!!
Wolfpack
Does that mean we can expect Biden to digitally penetrate America?
bass4funk
Neither is Biden and how can the man confuse his sister for his wife or Trump with Chris Wallace.....oh...
Not nearly as much as liberals that refuse to hear opposing viewpoints.

After I start reading Trump supporters denounce white nationalism, denounce those pushing pro-authoritarian, anti-democracy messages, denounce Russian 'meddling' in US and other 'western' nations I might consider not making generalizations about pro-Trump around the globe. Until then...

Optimism never hurt anyone, but even his racists supporters are jumping ship fast!!!

I tend to post a new comment everyday, not copy and paste. This time I didn't hear anything about the "rot at the top" though.
Bob Fosse
I’d list trumps numerous incidents of confusion, but really, what’s the point?

Even Lindsey Graham will probably vote for Biden. Deep down he loves the guy! Face it, there is a dodgy, snake oil salesman in the White House and finally more people are realizing this. He couldn't give a hoot about 1,000 people dying every day for months and months. And more and more are still dying. Just can't wait to hear Trump concede and wake up to the fact that he couldn't defeat Biden and that he couldn't win a second term like his predecessor Obama. Let's hope Trump does indeed move out of the US after losing. He would be doing the US and the world (except for the place he moves to!) a favor.
Jimizo
Stop treating him like a baby.

Half the country?? Trump couldn't even get half the votes. There are roughly 360 million people in America, 60 million of whom voted for Trump. Only 1/6 of the American people voted for him.

Obama is really sticking it to how silly the Trumpets are:

Coming from the man that generalizes Trump supporters?
Toasted Heretic
Well said, President Obama.
The far right lost its mind when you got elected, so in a way, a conman like Trump was inevitable. But the "clever" ones are jumping ship, they know which way the wind is blowing. The rest of them are in denial.
That said; President Biden isn't the answer to all the ills of the last 4 years. It will take a lot more than one centre right PotUS to heal the US. Now, a President Sanders... well, that would have been something else.

President Obama eviscerated Trump - made him look like the liar and fool that he is...
Of course, no one makes Trump look like a liar and a fool better than himself...of that Donald, you certainly are "the best"...
Keep up that "we've turned the corner" and "the virus is disappearing" nonsense - your hole just keeps getting deeper...
Wolfpack
Biden keeps saying he is running for the Senate again and Harris is the head of the ticket. For the last three weeks he has been minimizing his time in the public eye for some odd reason. If he wins he will be the oldest president in history - even older the the old bad orange man.
Sneezy
This is also true of Donald Trump.
Graham DeShazo
This was an absolute slash and burn take down of the biggest failure in US history expertly getting under Trump’s tissue-thin skin and damaging his fragile ego while simply pointing out that his “administration” (his entire life) is a testament to failure.
Trump is frightened of Obama because he knows that Obama is everything he aspires to be (popular, competent, respected) but fails at.
JJ Jetplane
Loved how Obama referenced the secret Chinese Bank account for Trump. There has been speculation for years that Trump was helping China make money with that phoney "trade" war that has only cost the US while enriching China.
Now we discover, a year after those allegations, that Trump has a secret account there that is only seeing an influx of cash. He has sold America to the highest foreign bidder.
sunfunbun
How true! Trump is the polar opposite to the intelligent and wonderful human being Obama is.
Trump is the worst president ever and is so juvenile, he's the biggest crybaby as well, shown at the 60 minute pout and tweets at Leslie Stahl.
bass4funk
Yes and Pelosi will vote for Trump. Lol
So besides promising more lockdowns what and how would Biden fix things? Not one single person said anything on this? Raising taxes? Implementing regulations?
Or with the Red wave Biden concedes and will he leave peacefully?
Obama didn’t have the Republican Party or the FBI weaponized against him to try and take him out, that makes a huge difference.
To the haters, not to his supporters.
Wolfpack
So like in 2016 Trump will be vastly outspent by the Dem nominee. There is no excuse for Biden failing to buy the presidency this time. Trump is getting more small donations. The corporations are pouring cash buy the pallet full to Biden’s campaign. It’s going so well Biden has decided that he doesn’t even need to campaign anymore- just letting the money do the talking.
SuperLib
It's not just about the person. Do you support abortion? Are you against it? The President's ability to pick the next justice will impact you on that position. Do you want us back in the Iran Nuclear deal? Then vote for Biden. If not, then vote for Trump. My point is there are quite few policies that get decided based more on party than the person.

Obama would not be in PA if Joe was way ahead there. Just shows how fake the "bought and paid for" Democrat polls are.
Jill Biden dropped everything to hit Michigan. You only campaign in places that are in play. They are clearly worried that Trump will win in those states if the Dems don't do something. That's why 0bama was sent there, but I can't imagine Obama will do much good in certain parts of PA, I doubt they have forgotten his comment about guns and religion.
Graham DeShazo
Um, no. Joe and Barrack are there to shore up their sizable lead because they are already at 290. They can lose FL, GA, NC, IA (where they are currently winning) AND OH (where they are down by 1 pt.) and STILL WIN.
Trump, on the other hand, must win all 5, which isn’t going to happen, AND pick off ANOTHER 20 EC votes.
No matter how much his conspiracy-infested rubes scream and rant, Trump is heading for the compost pile of history.
Oh, and the Democrats are currently forecast to add 5 seats in the House and flip the Senate with a net gain of 4-6 seats.
Facts, as they say, are hard things to get around....

Trump's campaign just reported $63 million in the bank. What happened to its $1 billion war chest?

Hey Trump people, do you still want this money (mis)manager in the WH? How about a different Republican if Trump drops out (not Mr. Jesus Pence)? Sound reasonable?

Trumps past behavior? Tells Lies, bullying, tells more lies, sexual assault/harassment, tells even more lies, supporting right wing extremists, keeps the lies coming, incompetence, lies yet again, fraud and did I mention he lies....a lot? His past behavior shows he will still be the worst ever US president if reelected. The pain and deaths for Americans will just get worse. There is no up side voting for Trump, just a complete demolition of the used to be, United states of America.

So all Trump has to do is win FL, GA, NC, IA, and OH?
Thats not hard at all, as he is winning in those already.

Peter14,
You forgot his 6 bankruptcies 3,500+ lawsuits and the fact that his own Niece who has a PhD. in clinical Psychology, has diagnosed Trump as a narcissistic sociopath.
But I’ll give you a pass as the list of things that make Trump unqualified to be President, much less an executive in any publicly traded company is too long for most of us to remember. :)
JohnSmith
The left have been spewing hate non stop for since Trump won. Obama, with this speech, is just fueling that hate.

You were sympathetic to the totally unproven Trump conspiracy theory of 3 million illegals voting last time.
That wasn’t a liberal conspiracy theory.

Hillary thought so as well until the silent voters came out.
They could, but doesn’t look like it.
He could and add a few to that. Nevada, Minnesota
Liberals have been saying this over and over again....lol
Or they can hold onto the Senate with a slim margin.....factually.

If Trump wins I'm happy because you can then get health insurance only when you are sick then it's guaranteed to cover pre-ex conditions (he . They don't even do that in Japan. I might return to the USA for that great TrumpCare (minus the Mr. Clean though). No mandate but guaranteed to cover pre existing conditions. No other country has that. Thanks Trump, that is a great savings idea for people who need healthcare.

you do realize that Barack Obama only got 22% of the vote in 2008 if you insist on this irrelevant way to count votes, dont you?
Bill Clinton also did not get half the votes. so it has no meaning really to speak of this, same as doesnt matter who won the "popular" vote if thats not how you win.
Jimizo
What if something similar happens to Trump’s conspiracy theory that millions of illegals voted in 2016? I know you are very receptive to this unfounded claim.
Will you just accept the result? I’m pretty sure that Trump will go on a conspiracy theory rampage if he loses.

Reagan lost his mind during office but had decent staff. That's the point. It's the office of the present

also nice job in removing almost 2 million Trump voters from your numerator and adding 37 million American people that dont exist to your denominator to get your 1 in 6 false stat (which is irrelevant anyway, but at least calculate it honestly)
Bob Fosse
1 in 6 is a very rough stat, but more accurate than 2 in 6. And according to you irrelevant anyway so don’t sweat it.
Blacklabel
and yes, Republicans are making significant progress in voter registrations. So all this record turnout might not be for who you think.
https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20201020/p2g/00m/0in/113000c
In Florida, Republicans netted 146,644 voters over Democrats since the pandemic hit in March, leaving Democrats with their smallest overall lead in party registrations since the state began tracking them in 1972.
In Pennsylvania, which Trump won with 44,000 votes in 2016, the GOP added 103,171 more voters since November than Democrats did.

Obama got the majority of those who voted in 08. trump did not. He didn’t even get a plurality.
Biden is above 50%. Trump has to peel off Biden voters because the number of undecideds, even if they all vote Trump is not enough. That’s not going to happen. Not at the National or the state level.
Took a great economy at essentially full-employment and drove it straight into the ground (just like his businesses!).
Literally handed a playbook on how to handle a pandemic and presided over the deaths of 220k (and counting) Americans by putting his head in the sand.
But I’m sure that the 11 million unemployed, the 20 million who will have their health care taken away, and the uncountable number of Americans that have lost a family member to COVID are MUCH more concerned with Biden’s demeanor....

This is unsubstantiated rumor. You should make like Giuliani and lie down for a while.

starpunk
Bring it ON, Mr. O!!! Obama always was good at making speeches and at the very least he always was diplomatic and was willing to compromise and work with others. Is that too much to ask for in a POTUS?
Barack Obama ACTS like a President.
Of course some critics are gonna say he's doing this to promote Vol. 1 of his upcoming memoirs (no ghostwriters here) but then again we need civility and stabilty back again, and Obama CAN show a way back to it by backing his former VP, even if he can't be President anymore himself.
His reappearance is a very welcome reprieve. Glad to see him back in the limelight. Trump needs to recede to a corner and I won't say here what else he can do there.
Tangerine2000
Trump is going to win. Those who hate him are going to riot and become violent.
Chop Chop
Obama was just talker. He was the kind of guy "do as I say, not as I do".
You look at Obama 8 years Presidency track record and he didn't help to improve black and ethnic minorities living standard and other things in American society. In the end, he and his wife are becoming extremly wealthy couple.
Obama care was disaster and it didn't work out as he said. It needs to fix.
The President Trump has done more for black peoples than any US Presidents and his predecessor Obama modern era.
I am not against Obama or supporter of Trump. However, the journalists unfairly treatment of Trump make me post this comment.
Nobody was perfect. The journalists and Hollywood elits always said if the candidate they dislike has won the Election and then they will leave America but they never move out of America after Election the person they dislike was won. I won't say like that if I were them because I have to prove what I said by move out of America and living somewhere else.
I want fair go for anyone.
I'll vote for Trump because I think we should give him second term to finish his policy and rebuild American economy and security. I don't think vote for Biden and Harris team was a good idea and good choice. Trump will be better choice for the State.
bass4funk
But he got over 270 that’s the only number that matters.
So as Hillary.....
Or a lot of silent voters, people that don’t want to fight with family and friends that will just come out and vote for Trump when the curtain is closed.
Another Democrat fabricated spin, it won’t happen, but it’s a good tactic to deflect from Dems failures. And let’s celebrate the people that people that are recovering and the declining death rates.

Well, he had one of the best economies since the 50’s and more Americans trust him on that issue so he should do quite well.

“Had”. If it was so easy why didn’t it get done in the first 3 years? China stole the ball in the final minutes?
So now during the worst economy since the Great Depression is suddenly the time to get things done.

I admit Obama was definitely one of the best orators ever, but that’s about it. Definitely don’t miss the days of him talking down to people.
He was a politician, Trump is not and that’s why millions love him.
That’s a lie, every book that Obama came out with was in large part written by a ghost writer.
It definitely won’t happen if the Marxists take power.
Graham DeShazo
No Bass,
once again you are factually inaccurate. Hillary was never above 50% in polling. All Trump had to do was pick up a majority of the 20% of undecideds.
Biden is above 50%. And the undecided clock in at around 5% or less. E.G. there is currently no path to a majority, much less 270 for Don.
On to your comment about Faux being credible because they are most popular.
As I noted yesterday, Fox has not a single award for journalism or commentary. (Fun fact: CNN won 8 Emmys this year alone for excellence in broadcast journalism.)
Clearly popularity does not equal credibility. But if it did.....
What would that say about your credibility given your consistent history of down votes?
As you brought up the issue of popularity equaling credibility, this would seem a valid topic.
bass4funk
what are you talking about? He did it in three years and the economy was roaring along and that’s the reason why more people trust him with the economy than they do with any Democrat, that’s not a talking point that’s a sheer fact.
Of course, had they not unleashed the virus we wouldn’t be here talking this nonsense.
Yes, so when will these Democrat governors and mayors open up the country entirely? When will they allow people to go back to work and when will they allow people to make a living and take care of their families?
Bob Fosse
We were talking about replacing Obama Care. Read the previous comments and the quoted ones and keep on track.

trump wants to replace Obamacare with nothing, he obviously is fine with people who cannot afford treatment being left to....
Though he received a few million dollars worth treatments while paying $750 in taxes.

From 2 days ago. You'd know this if you did some independent research, but you don't:
A new poll two weeks before Election Day has Biden narrowly outperforming Trump on the economy, once a top issue for the president.
A survey released by Morning Consult/Politico on Wednesday found Biden narrowly edging out Trump on the economy, 45-44%, while 11% of registered voters say they don't know or don't have an opinion

egads man!
I don't know what you're trying to say. "divided"? "360 million American voters"?
The current population of the US is 328 million? About 139 million people voted in 2016? In 2016 eligible voters were around 250 million? Trump got around 62.9 million votes? Clinton got around 65.8 million votes? By your logic 187 million eligible voters didn't vote for Trump?
Clarification please.

Harry Enton, “The Wizard of odds” who knows more about political polling than all of us combined says that Hillary was never over 50% once the nominations were set. So I’ll go with him. It’s a credibility issue.

You won't mind at all, of course, if Democrats consistently starting winning the Electoral College but losing the popular vote. Not that such a scenario seems very likely as the system appears to lock in gross-over-representation for rural conservatives, but...
