Okay... all jokes aside.

Trump is actually exhibiting four of the signs of Parkinson's
disease:  A forward-leaning position when standing still; a slow,
shuffling walk with very small steps; changes in verbal fluency;
difficulties holding drinking glasses and cutlery.

I've also noted that he invariably leans to his left when standing
at a podium, and rests his arm on the podium itself, whilst using
his right hand to gesticulate.  I'm guessing this is to unconsciously
correct his posture, possibly due to his Parkinson's.

This report makes for interesting reading about Trump's apparent
balance and gait issues:

     President Trump’s "body tics" and "forward-leaning posture"
     raise concerns: expert.

         

At the wreath, Trump has to grasp his right hand with his left in
order to restrain his right arm's involuntary movement due to his
Parkinson's, and a little later actually appears to almost lose his
balance.  And of course, his arms should be straight at his sides,
with fists clenched.     Very embarrassing.

          

Assuming the very real likelihood of Trump being officially
diagnosed with Parkinson's there is no way he should be
allowed by the GOP to run as a POTUS candidate next year.

The Republicans need to find a younger, more intelligent, and
more articulate candidate—and one who is in good health.

Do we really need the trembling hand of another unhealthy
old man, with Parkinson's, hovering over the red button?

I sincerely think not.

Now now, Geoff, Mr Trump never used the N word. Never ever.

Okay,  he may have mentioned it once, but he thinks he got away with it.

It was only Tucker. Besides, he meant Ukraine, not Russia. Nobody's been tougher on Russia than the big fella, believe me.

He'll have Ukraine sorted in his first 24 hours as prez, you'll see.

Now let's see. We'll go through your points one by one, shall we?

1. Russia invaded Ukraine, a peaceful neighbour.

2. Ukraine committed to defending their territory. Macron tried to mediate a deal. Zalensky said no deal until Russia removes all troops from Ukraine. Russia responded with attacks on apartment blocks, hospitals and power stations.

3. Biden offered military aid to Ukraine. He was joined by NATO, the UK, Germany, France, Poland and even jolly old Oz. Nearly every country in the world supports Ukraine. China and India are on the fence. The outliers are few: the leaders of countries like Hungary and Georgia are not supported by their populations on this issue.

4. Ukrainians are volunteering to enlist. Polls show overwhelming support for repelling Russia from Ukraine. It's now nearly 100%. Ukraine has few pro-Russians left.

5. Russia can't possibly win. This is the view of every report commissioned by the EU, the IMF and NATO. The current Russian strategy is to defend its seized (and emptied) Ukrainian territory in the vain hope of a Trump victory in 2025.

Yes, Putin has his hopes set on a US withdrawal from NATO and a weakened Western alliance. This is why Putin aided Trump's 2016 campaign. Leaked Russian cabinet reports described Trump as weak and mentally unstable. These reports proved remarkably accurate: Trump weakened the Western alliance to the extent that Putin believed there would be no Western reaction to a Ukrainian invasion.

Biden's response, by contrast, was pivotal. Biden united the West in defence of Ukraine. That's the difference between the two: Biden acts in defence of national sovereignty and a peaceful, rules-based international order.

Your Dear Leader acts to strengthen a kleptocratic tyranny that conducts cyber attacks on the US government and interferes in US elections. That's a stark choice for the American voters, should it come down to that.

Your five points prove what we've seen over the past decade. Your judgement nearly always proves to be the opposite of the facts presented. That's a weighty track record, dear, and one we can consistently rely upon.

Good work.
