    Oh so now you say he did do things. You just won't give him credit for it. Sounds like a leftist comment.

    Trump is his own worst enemy. That doesn't change the facts about what he did while in office.

    Biden is getting his money from billionaires, Big Tech, and Big Green.
    Trump's financing is largely individual small donors.
    Right now, Big Everything is protecting their interests. As the contest gets more clear, big money will follow to cover their asses.

    All the money in the world doesn't fix senility and bad policy positions. Just goes to show Democrats love rapist presidents and will fork over a ton of money to be in the same room as one. That says more about them than it does Biden. When Biden can raise money without using a rapist to get Democrats to open their wallets let us know...

    As it stands, Biden's voter enthusiasm is dangerously low which is why he needs a rapist from a quarter century ago need to get him his campaign funds.

    I said he mainly completed what had already been started by Obama. Obama did more for the US than Trump ever did - apart from his silly war. He brought the US out of the 2008 disaster despite opposition for his 'budget' by Congress which extended recovery by 12 months and gradually laid a foundation for his successor to build on. In 4 years Trump added more per year to the US deficit than any other president. What have you got. A divided US with one player who is a bad loser and using every despicable effort to overthrow Democracy in the US. Neither he or Biden should be running for POTUS. Both are too old and - to put it politely - forgetful. You have many younger 'wouldbes' capable of replacing these 'hasbeens'.
    No, I'm not a leftist - whatever that means in the US. I'm a looker-on from the UK.

    So you have an opposing opinion to mine without the experience of living in the U.S. Consider your opinion dismissed. Incidentally, I don't want Trump to be the next president. I have one word for the left leaning media - deplorable. Sad that you fall for it.

    As much of my information comes from foriegn correspondents of British Newspapers who have no ax to grind, as well as American broadcasters, I don't fall for anything. I weigh up the information given and form my own opinion.

    You weight the information they provide. It happens here as well to millions of people. Your comments are still dismissed.

    So you think our overseas reporters are biased? Fair enough.

    I think all media are biased everywhere. The problem is that the huge majority of media are left leaning so the other side of the story gets lost.

    Thats a sad reflection of your thinking. Whatever is posted then is questionable. You only trust those who you agree with. As with elections in this country I read and consider each parties manifesto before making my decision.
    I see no point in continuing this. I leave the last comment to you.

    Nothing sad about it. What I question in the media is political opinion. Facts are facts and the media usually gets those right. I don't agree or disagree with facts. They are what they are. I only agree and disagree with opinion. In politics fact and opinion are often confused. You were talking about bias, remember? Sorry to have given you the wrong understanding. Best of luck.

    True. However, Trump is going to do very well raising money. Watch.

    It's not official but the word over on "X" is they brought in over $50 million today. The Biden campaign called the donors extremists, scammers and racists.

    Aren't conservative US news sources censored there? Hasn't Fox News been banned in the UK? If so, how can you possibly believe that the British media doesn't have an ax to grind? The only international news source that I'm aware of that is NOT left wing is Sky News in Australia. Judging by one of your previous statements, I'd have to say you are the victim of gross misinformation. It is Biden and his minions, not Trump, who is engaging in abusive lawfare against a political opponent. Have you been paying any attention to the two New York civil cases? The outrageous penalties perpetrated by judges and jurors over insignificant and/or nonexistent cases. The fraud case was completely stupid! There was no defrauded party and if New York gets a dime from him it will be theft. Same goes for E. Jean Whackjob. In no world was SHE defamed. But stupid immoral jurors tried to give her 2 humongous paychecks for making up a story from 30 years ago. They even changed the Statute of Limitations law just so she could go after him. Our justice department has a horrendous double standard right now when it comes to anything political.
    During the summer of love we had radical leftwingers running wild, burning **** and killing people. Trump wanted to bring the national guard in to restore order and the Dems threw a fit. They rather sit on their hands and watch it burn than allow Trump to do his job. We had the CHOP situation, which more closely resembled an actual insurrection than did Jan 6. But they won't stop talking about one while ignoring the other.
    Over the time of the Roe reversal, we had Dems protesting outside the conservative justice's homes while the case was being decided. That's flatly illegal, but our President literally encouraged them to keep it up. The AG's only response was to increase security.
    The justice dept also went way out of their way to allow Hunter to skate on some of the more serious charges. They tried to pull a fast one on the court but had to backtrack when the judge started to ask questions.
    A democrat politician pulled a fire alarm to obstruct an official proceeding. That is the same charge that got many Jan 6 defendants locked up. There was no penalty for him because that's just {D)ifferent. There are more examples too, but alas this post got a bit long.

    Doing stupid things doesn't equate to stupidity. It equates to mistakes. The pillow guy made the mistake of hurting his business by his public display of partisanship. Politics and business don't do well together. He was smart enough to become a millionaire as an entrepreneur. When you have done that then calling someone stupid won't make you look so bad.

    The numbers will not be confirmed until filings are submitted to the Federal Election Commission. Campaigns sometimes exaggerate fundraising hauls to drive momentum.

    Ah. A Trump supporter. And you are not biased?

    Your comments mean that the Law in the USA is just as biased as the media. Judges appointed by Trump supporting Trump? I'm not aware of any judges appointed by Biden - though I may be wrong. What a state.

    British journalists in the USA post the facts. It is commentators, mainly this side of the Atlantic who give their views.

    Fox News pulled out of the UK due to minimal viewers. It was it's own decision.
