Nah, I was asking why, when he obviously is very flawed, is he so popular amongst American people. 
70 million+ voted for him.

 

i find that surprising.
 

Spidermikes answer about the nazis didn’t really make sense to me. 

 

I suspect he isn’t going anywhere and without the constraints of being president he will unleash, and with 70 million encouraging him. 

OK then my apologies ????  Also I would guess that at least 80% of that 70 million just left the room

I was asking spidermike for his opinion as an American. Trump is good for a laugh but I don’t really care about American politics. 

I am no fan of Trump, mainly because he doesn’t pay his contractors for work completed and then offers them cents in the dollar but only if they sign a confidentiality clause. That was long before the people voted him as President. 
 

OK but speaking about this #**#'s popularity in the 1st place was a bit off and now you say the only thing you dont like about him is that he rips off his contractors??? you still dont seem to get it IMO.

Why do you conclude he is embellishing Trump?

Speaking about his popularity kinda gave me that impression

Trump got the second highest vote ever even though he lost. He got more votes after being in power for four years. 
Why is he so popular with so many Americans? 

More importantly ...why are you trying to embellish a megalomaniac, mass murdering, seditionist ???

Honda CRV top spec or Mazda CX5 top spec, both AWD, both very reliable

But dont buy new, go for 1 to 2YO with (genuine) low km's and a log book that verifies it's km's ie: Dealer stamps on each service

If possible buy private from a farang, too many dodgy dealers in Thailand and all know how to wind back odometers

That is certainly one part of it. But how do gold speculation in BKK and massive influx of RMB and USD from China impact that analysis? In five years of asking, I have yet to find anyone - government and top economists included - who can offer a clear explanation of the movements of the THB. As mysterious as a Thai woman's heart.

Gradually opening its borders to 'low risk countries' such as Australia and New Zealand?The countries that Australia have mentioned as low risk travel bubbles so far are NZ,Taiwan,Japan and South Korea.Not one mention of Thailand and the other party central Bali as since early March there has been NO International scheduled flights out of Oz for Australians to anywhere.Only Emirates,Qatar and certain special chartered planes flying ex-pats in and out with Qantas stating July next year before they fly again regular International.In short we will only be visiting Thailand if we can row there ourselves I'm afraid!

Not entirely correct. Thailand is not currently considered safe to travel to by the Australian Govt.

But If you have an OA visa you can return to Thailand providing you have a valid reason to leave Aust'. and you must be away for at least 3 months

Sorry; I should have said "<4,500 baht". 

Want phone rather than notepad 'cause phone fits in my shirt pocket.

And yes, I know there are plenty available; lol there are a half-dozen 7/11's on my block!  I just have no clue if one of the low-cost brands is appreciably better than the others in terms of how fast the browser (and I guess the Android implementation) runs.  Does that Huawei model zip along?

Thanks,

The better known Chinese units are generally best bang for buck nowadays.

Xiaomi and Oppo are both very good, I have the Xiaomi Mi9 Lite and it's brilliant. YouTube has lots of good reviews for budget phones.

Right now Europe is struggeling with a second wave of Covid 19 and USA are registring record high numbers of infection. Only China and North Korea seems to be relatively Covid 19 free, but can we trust these numbers published by the Chinese and North Korean governments?

So you only read the Asian news? Australia and NZ are the world leaders in low Covid infection numbers and that is honest and reliable info. Believing that China or N. Korea are low is extremely naive 

The Republican recruiters are already in serious talks with the highly favoured candidate for their new leader after Trump gets the flick.

Yes they all agree that Ronald McDonald has more flair and superior political skills .

My guess is that there are many asymptomatic carriers within the Thai community and the authorities would probably have that awareness, that's fine if the carriers are being told (quietly) to quarantine, but ultimately very dangerous if they dont. It bugs me big time that these media outlets only report farang that have Covid, it's extreme Xenophobia and just makes the Thai population think poorly of farang and be suspicious that they are all Covid carriers. The Government and their media cronies should get smart and be aware that without farang money Thailand will suffer economic gloom for many many years to come. Unless of course this Government has already sold it's soul to the Chinese and believes they no longer need Western retirees and tourists, only time and actions will tell.

This article is nonsense, show me where Australia add hundreds new cases per day.

Only in Victoria the have a few dozens per day in Western Australia we had not a 

local transmission for months Norther Territory had none for months only a few 

in NSW nothing in SA or Tassie who writes this nonsense?

Look again mate, Melbourne had only 5 new cases today and 0 in regional Victoria.

You are right however, this bloke is meant to be a leading Medical expert and he should know better what the true numbers are rather than trying to make Australians look unsafe. Just more Xenophobia sadly

Wild fires?  more like wild crop farmers constantly breaking the law and nothing being done to stop it.

Genuine leadership and governance is required URGENTLY
