Thanks Josh I was a cretin being hoodwinked by that award winning bozo Bob Woodward.Also I was influenced by the obvious "fake news" story about injecting toxic substances into one's veins to kill covid 19 . I will now enlighten myself by an intake of Fox news for six hours a day and relish their unbiased approach to journalistic excellence.
As they say do not underestimate people's ability to be stupid!

Not when you watch the full press conference or read the full transcript of what he was saying
Even politifact who have a very overt bias have labeled this as mostly false.

Yet the media went mad with it...

Fake news? Trchnically not, in the fact that he was literally discussing the possible use of disenfectants in the treatment of COVID and talked about internal treatments.
A completely different narrative to what he was actually saying, 100%.
Context is important and if you watch the press conference he is essentially in a conversation exploring ideas with his senior health advisor.
I dont particularly think it is a good thing to do in front of a media mob waiting to pick you apart on everything you say, but it is refreshingly honest and transparent approach, the complete antithesis of the polished scripted performances of career politicians happily lying to us all and that is a huge part of Trump's appeal.
He might be polarising but those love him think of him as their guy and will be out in droves to vote for him.
Most democrat voters aren't voting for Biden they are voting against Trump and in any normal election that would mean a red wave.
With mail in voting, the game can easily be rigged though so who knows what will happen.

Seriously, if the democrats wanted to contest in the election they has the peefect candidate in Tulsi Gabbard. She literally had everything and perhaps most importantly wasnt insane.
Biden/Harris is literally the worst combo they could have put together.
I dont know if its arrogance or incompetence to be honest mate.

Then watching the news today and watching him talking about the virus over the months I'm finding myself laughing every 5 mins. He's made himself look like a complete tool. I always thought of him as a clown but this really is comedy gold.
Roll on November elections and the end of the fool on the world stage.

With regards to voting by mail The Heritage Foundation have found that mail in voting is the most likely to be altered, stolen or forged. Link: https://www.heritage.org/election-integ ... ail-voting
In 2012, The New York Times found votes made by mail are twice as likely to be rejected than a vote made in person, mostly due to filling them out improperly. Link: https://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/07/us/p ... tions.html
In recent votes states such as Wisconsin and Maryland were unable to even count votes due to the delays in voters receiving their ballots by mail.
The USPS has also often failed to postmark ballots, making it impossible to know whether or not the vote was sent in time. Link: https://www.npr.org/2020/08/18/90349061 ... postmarked
In the last four elections, an estimated 2.7 million votes by mail we misdelivered and 1.3 million rejected. Link: https://www.heritage.org/election-integ ... ail-voting
The Heritage Foundation also has a database of over 1,200 instances of voter fraud.
The evidence is clear, in person voting is less susceptible to fraud or other external issues than in person voting. Absentee voting by mail is of course a different kettle of fish though, and certainly has a purpose.
