Trumpled (Alternative Leading)

[tonyo]

Why are most of Americans presidentential candidates old and senile? 

My sisters father in law at their age drive a car into a stationary fence and didn't even realise he had clipped it. 

My mum's 69 and she is starting to become forgetful and has more health issues than ever before.

American Presidents are fronts for a machine driven by faceless people that do the 'advising'.  The machine, whether it be Democrat or Republican, needs a face with populist charisma to get its agenda into the driving seat.  Donald's problem is he actually thinks he is the supreme leader, and when he doesn't agree with the machine, he sacks someone (there have been a few that have be shown the door....).  Most of the rest have learned to say the right things.

I would suggest that many Republican politicians would be happy to see the end of Donald because he is a loose cannon, but the problem is his popularity with certain segments of the US population has meant that these same politicians get to keep their seats in Congress.

I honestly thought the COVID positive thing was a ploy to have him 'stand aside' with no political blood-letting involved....... maybe they didn't count on his ego getting in the way?
