    Miserably.

    indeed he could, but his reelection was the most important thing in the history of man so he needed to make that a priority & keep the zillionaires happy..

    EVERY issue that came up during his tenure was addressed from the aspect of the election.

    Which is why he fucked Covid up so badly. He thought that denying it would make it go away. From there it 'wasn't his fault', which is his 'go to' phrase for every one of his failures.

    Now Germany, France & I hear even Britain are planning to step up in the south china sea.........

    If nothing else it appears the ante is going up..

    So sad & so true......

    His biggest regret it happened before the election, that it happened @ all, he was a shoe in, had it in the bag etc............ @ this point someone elbows him & whispers for him to don't forget about all the ppl that died............ One of the furthest things from his mind/SELF!!!

    While I most certainly do not want a war, hot or cold, the ccp is going full throttle w/ their forceful/force filled agenda & seem to be anticipating & preparing for it..

    Too bad for him that he refused to listen to those who urged him to pretend to care about those who suffered from the trump virus.

    He would have won handily.
