    Creating dialogue is a start towards fixing things. Will they be completely fixed? No. Absolutely not, but it’s a start in the right direction- how he executes it is on him.

    After running a red light and running over an elderly person, Trump would claim he is being treated unfairly and would counter-sue the victim for obstructing his path. After a year-long protracted fight and faced with the possibility of losing in a public trial, he would settle privately and claim he won.

    To garner reelection votes, he would later offer $200 gift cards to seniors funded by a murky scheme that diverts taxpayer money to help them pay a drop in the bucket of the bills for the injuries he caused them.

    He's already done this to farmers and people in need of healthcare by sabotaging their system of livelihood in the name of protecting it and later offering fix-it schemes that use diverted taxpayer money to try to undo some of the damage he inflicted on them.

    Two more presidential debates are planned.

    The first of the three could be considered to have, by today's standards, a controlled environment with its limited audience and the two candidates required to stay at their podiums. Even that setup went out of control.

    Virtual presidential debates are less likely to be abused by candidates interrupting each other, roaming across the floor to stalk the other, and staging in-house antics like Trump having Bill Clinton's accusers present for photo-ops and sitting with the Trump family.

    The televised virtual presidential debate that occurred in 1960 with the candidate in separate locations and no in-house audience is an example.

    Nancy was right. Debating that Bully is just a waste of time. He just makes shit up as he goes along. I heard him say it was Obama & Biden's fault for handing him 128 judge vacancies that they failed to fill. He failed to mention that McConnell sat of their nomination and did nothing for two years. False statements and misrepresentation are a Republican trait now. I also watched Trump publicly assume the leadership position of Proud Boys. They started praising him within minutes all over the internet.

    Biden could have insisted that Trump first release his tax returns before scheduling any presidential debates. Biden released three years worth plus his 2019 return before the first debate.

    Trump has made ludicrous demands concerning the debates such as having Biden drug-tested and inspected for electronic devices in his ear.

    Trump feels that he has little to lose at this point with debates considering his electoral count. He initially floated the idea of not being in any presidential debates for 2020. After his poll numbers dropped, he changed his mind and started talking about doing more than three debates.

    While deaths can be considered the ultimate outcome, the high number of hospitalizations and ICU care in Wisconsin and other states that are experiencing a surge is a problem in itself. The morbidity, such as lung damage, may last for months or perhaps be permanent. Lifespans may be shortened.

    The financial cost is another issue. People like those in Wisonsin have been hit with medical bills on the order of $60,000 for treating the coronavirus. ICU costs are extremely high. Ongoing morbidity caused by the virus compounds the financial burden.

    Some of the people hit with such bills may not have health insurance or may have a limited policy. Others have been damaged by Trump's sabotage of the Affordable Care Act which had been helping the disadvantaged. Making the ACA personal mandate zero as part of the 2017 corporate tax cut bill passed by the Congress and signed by Trump reduced the ACA funding and forced financial burden onto states that are already financially damaged because of the coronavirus..

    As the 2020 election approached, Trump petitioned the Supreme Court to overturn the ACA completely. The SC has previously upheld the ACA by a vote of 5-4.

    Other patients aren't aware that they may have financial assistance from makeshift remedies the were implemented by executive actions of Trump, in contrast to the ACA which is formally structured through Congress and better understood. Trump still hasn't presented his healthcare plan five years after promising to do it, much the same as his promised release of his tax returns and the coronavirus cure that he has claimed for months is just around the corner.

    Trump has operated in a disjointed fashion of using failed coercion tactics on Congress, sabotaging programs out of spite for people he doesn't like, and later resorting to his 'I alone can fix it' approach, which might be better described as 'I alone can break it.' It has created confusion for patients.trying to pay their medical bills during a deadly pandemic that Trump continues to belittle.

    The manifestations of his narcissism.have become most evident the during the pandemic.

    This is probably not known by many in the general public. The maneuver that sabotaged the ACA was part of the tax cut bill. People became giddy over the thought of a refund check on the order of $1000 while not realizing how the healthcare system was being crippled by Trump out of spite for Obama with those least able to pay (the downtrodden who Trump claims he is helping) being damaged the most.

    Trump had a woman at one his televised 'round table discussions' (which was nothing but a praise-fest for him) who was crying while praising him and holding up a refund check as a result of the 2017 corporate tax cut.

    Compare a $1000 refund check with a $50,000 hospital bill for treating the coronavirus that Trump talks about as if it's nothing. People should be concerned about the healthcare system being sabotaged by Trump..

    These usual and normal remedies will not work with Donald Trump, because he is a criminal.

    Your opinion matter very little because you are not American. We Americans will exclusively hash out our electoral matters and you can go tend to your kangaroo.

    He has no point, as usual. He's a troll.
