@RedRider1600 I am not Biden fan but I would not vote for a person who can't handle internal issues. Trump can use his achievement with Israel, but with poor domestic records, it is not going anywhere.
The US election 2020 is based on domestic affairs more than foreign. That is my confidence.

@Thankful and Grateful
That will be in 4 years, so I hope you are patient.
All attempts to impeach and imprison Trump has repeatedly failed,
but keep clinging to that if it makes you feel better. LOL
Better luck in your next life.
It is now Biden, Hillary, Obama, the FBI, CIA, and the DOJ,
who tried to frame him, are now under investigation.

This has nothing to do with trump. The corruption in American runs deep way before him. He is trying to expose this corruption.

I was a first person in our world suggest use love emoticon to treat covid. And in my country , one of rare number countries control covid, apply my recommendation, success in control covid, I analyze covid has WOOD element. Biden's Four Pillar Reading harmony with wood. When Trump have covid, wood increase. It's produce benefits for Biden. Arizona is forest state, Wood element, so Biden win this state. But I'm afraid if Biden win 2020 election, the bad effects of covid wil be stronger more than ever. Hence, I think Trump should win, although he has destiny not tune with me or harm for me. We should consider bad results of covid.
