To think he was mocking Biden for wearing a mask the other day    

Even if the old scumbag croaks, he could still win if the republicans embalm him and send him out on the campaign trail with some racist tapes for a backing track. A kind of fascist 'weekend at Bernies' if you like.

It says a lot about his politics that my first thought was 'he's at it'. Too convenient for him.

It is curiously convenient and that conspiracy theory was expressed by a good number of American voters last night during street interviews, some indeed saying there is nothing wrong with Trump - don't you believe it!!

The Republicans will be delighted he might miss the second "debate". It'll allow them to keep him under wraps until the big push a week or so before the election - old man Sleepy Joe, not man enough to stand up to Covid, left-wing anarchists, postal vote rigging, you know the style.

That is indeed my biggest concern - flooding the population with this military style data-streaming/influencing of targeted voters - commonly practised by populist parties from the UK to Brazil to the Phillipines and other affected countries globally with no recourse by assigned electoral enforcement agencies to stop it - IMO it is highly irregular and illegal to do this but it is somehow allowed to prevail!! I hope SCO's assertion that most Americans have already decided who they will vote for is an accurate one as I cannot contemplate another 4 years of Trump's crass and unacceptable style of politics. IMO the USA needs a period of stability, also a radical change in its politics that should incl "well being" and human rights prominently in the future way forward as well as a strong policy in recognising climate change and trying to mitigate for a better eco-environmental future. Doing nothing would be perilous TBF!!
