    It appears the Mrs Trump’s message may well have been written by an AI bot.
    Certainly comes across like it was.

    I've always been annoyed by that accusation, it makes no sense.

    For every left wing paper there is an equal and opposite right wing paper ...

    ... Einstein said that and he's a clever bloke.

    It always makes me laugh when Tories claim the BBC is biased against them ...

    ... then Labour claim exactly the same with them <laugh>

    Always kept away from two things in my life.....politics and religion.
    Never wanted to prejudge anyone because of their beliefs.
    99% in the world today just want the same thing....get up and have the best day we can.
    With this being on my patch thought I would throw my two pence worth in...with what I see here.
    This is just my opinion and totally understand everyone has their own on this one.
    Who should be President in November with the two front runners....neither is my answer and has America got itself into a huge mess with this...certainly.
    Having one guy in his mid seventies and the other in his eighties is beyond belief.
    The role of the supposed most powerful person in the world is demanding at it's best.....even for someone in their fifties.
    A lot of the role has to be travel as China, Russia, Iran and North Korea try to gain more support in the world in such places as Africa and South America.
    Throwing Ukraine under the bus is not an option too....Russia won't stop their advance like they didn't in 2014 with the Crimea.
    Going back to the two individuals it's going to be pick your poison on this one.
    One who cannot remember anything, full of woke sh*t and is now a total embarrassment publicly and no doubt privately.
    The other is not about his party.....it's about him....and he's a divisive as they come.
    Currently with recent events it's an ugly time to be in this country.
    Comments on civil war coming down the pipeline maybe over the top but four years ago when one of these guys got voted out....and insurrections kicked off.
    Doesn't say much for democracy does it.....would one of the two like to be a dictator....I think we know the answer to this one.
    Yes, one has his cult following and would appear to be strong favorite....but I'm not entirely convinced America will go down this route.
    There is still time for one of the party's to change their nomination....I believe in my limited knowledge of politics this will happen.
    Panic buttons will be pressed so we will see.
    Whatever happens in November it's going to be a sh*t show.....hate to me breeds hate....all such a mess.....but the country reaps what it sows right?

    Very interesting post mate, not often I read one twice.

    Something clicked, in my mind, as I read it.

    Our image, and yours, abroad is very important. Not only for how we see ourselves but what help it gives manufacturers, exporters, etc. The most important thing, in my opinion, is how other nations see us especially those in Russia, China, etc. I cringe when I see our leaders clowning around for the cameras and think how easy it makes foreign leaders to denigrate us to their citizens.

    Do people abroad really envy us when they see our leaders endlessly hanging from zipwires, punching the air and posing for idiotic photos like this from today ....

    Good observation and good question mate. It seems to me that leaders like this pic like the ‘dog and pony’ show. Us who live in the real world aren’t really influenced to me by this. We can spot a nut job a mile off. Trump in his previous term seemed to me to be close with Putin and Kim Jong but with Xi and Iran an adversary. Interesting how he will play that this time if he is elected as those four countries seem locked in together. The perception of Biden where he wanders off when with other leaders of the G7 or NATO might be alarming but in reality other countries very much know the might of the USA, Britain and the other countries associated with the group.
    History has a lot of relevance too with advance cultures. I believe yes there is an awe to this.
    Believe it or not Royalty and the hundreds of years of this history is loved by many here.
    The pictures of these leaders are a part of that it’s understood.
    I think the regular person in Russia and China would love to see and express opinions on their leaders like we can. It’s just they don’t have the chance at the moment.
    So to answer your question yes I believe they do envy us in many ways.
    My apologies for taking so long to answer your question…. :)

    Totally agree. I really don’t want to be in the country come November. Whoever wins! I don’t think there’s a person in this world that I despise more than Trump but Biden is a nightmare too!! How has it come to this? A 78 year old and an 81 year old running for president! Terrifying.

    'Running' for President ...

    ... it's like watching the old fable of the tortoise and the slightly younger orange tortoise.

    Who'll limp over the line first <laugh>
