Wartime president

I noticed that Trump said he considered himself to e like a wartime president. I wonder if he is trying to get that stuck in our head. Mainly because in the past people said it was difficult to remove a wartime president. Maybe he thinks that if voters see him that way they will decide to stick with him. Personally, I think he is wrong if Trump is running against Biden. I think because they know Biden and would likely feel safer with him (not erratic, measured, association with Obama years,etc).

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

I don't trust Trump or any of his fall on the sword for him, eyes glazed over, deranged followers. Make sure we still have elections in November. If this is some kind of apocalypse and civilization goes to shit, I, as a single person with no family or friends that live closer than 100 miles away, will probably not survive long. I at least want to live long enough to see Trump brought down and out of power.

"I at least want to live long enough to see Trump brought down and out of power."

That has been my primary goal for the past 3 years. I detest tRump and the people who elected him and put him in charge of the greatest nation on earth. We are exactly where I knew we would be when they nominated him to be their presidential candidate. I have a fatal autoimmune disease (presently in remission), I am living to vote this guy out of office!

Being either too incompetent, too lazy , or he's worried about how he can profit personally or politically is all he is concerned about now, and his lying is increasing quite a lot claiming they're going big on payouts, which means he isn't , and instead he's promoting his con that it is big, it isn't. He's doing the cheapskate route for us , but watch him as he gives excuses why those with money get the most from this now. His suggested amounts aren't anywhere close to what is needed. trump also is hiding they know its going to last a lot longer making his low ball checks even more insulting , after he was the one who failed and made this a lot worse . If they do these low amounts the economy crash will only get worse because trump and the gop failed again. Their plans are woefully inadequate , and it will piss off a lot of people , and who will be voting soon, against them and trump for this. Could they get by on a $1000 for 3-4 months, no way. Then we'll start seeing a breakdown of law and order when their desperation ramps up from their government not taking care of the people's financial needs to get through this. This is trump's virus, and economic downward spiral he's made much much worse while telling you he's doing a great job , when he isn't. trump forcing the fed to cut rates was another major mistake he's made that'll prolong this recession / possibly depression coming very soon. trump couldn't even get testing manufacturing done to meet the demands , and now PPE , and ventilators , and more shows how bad he's failed, all while lying to the American people by an incompetent lying corrupt president. This a hoax now trump and supporters?

No matter how distasteful it is to me and others. Hopefully the people will share their opinion in masses this November.

This may inspire his true believers but everyone else must just be getting shivers of dismay.
