Joe Biden must be hoping that Donald doesn't start getting ideas.

On the basis of what Putin does today, Trump does tomorrow!

Here's an interesting hypothetical dilemma. If you had had to choose between Trump or Putin to run your country, which would you go for?

In general, Trump

Why? Because he'll die sooner? Or because he's too incompetent to get much done? Or some other reason?

The incompetence. Though I was thinking that at times like Covid that presents other concerns.

I think I agree except I'm not sure about the COVID19 part. Trump's strategy is a disaster. Putin would handle it better if it were in his interests to do so. The trouble is I suspect Putin's entire strategy is to look better than the USA and Europe so I'd be concerned about some of the decisions he is making and whether he is suppressing data.

Yep, it's just that with Trump and Covid. It's always going to be a disaster. In the main his incompetence has stopped him from doing anything really bad.

A very difficult decision indeed. Putin is evil, but sane, whereas Trump is evil and bonkers. I suppose one would have to settle for Trump in the hopes that sense would eventually prevail in the US.

In the long run, I think that I just might choose suicide - I'm 73 and I've had a pretty good run!

My only reservation would if I thought that my kids might suffer!
