There does seem to be a small, yet vocal, group of non-Americans who delight in "America-Bashing" when their own countries have their own atrocities to deal with.

I'm far from claiming that my country lacks issues in urgent need of adressing...

At least you admit it.  The others?  No such luck.

You guys are an easy/massive target. Everyone knows America.

Nobody knows the difference between Australia and Austria.

I think that's a bit of an exaggeration. Most people these days do in fact know that Australia and Austria are two neighbourhoods in Austin, Texas.

Imagine my wife's surprise to find her ancestral homeland is also in a small rural town in Oregon.

Just so you all know...

• May 31, 2016: Donald Trump attacked Gonzalo Curiel, the federal judge who presided over the Trump University fraud case, saying that Curiel's assignment to the case represented "an absolute conflict because the judge was "of Mexican heritage."  "I'm building a wall," said Trump, "It's an inherent conflict of interest."

• August 13, 2018: With the approaching publication of Omarosa Manigault Newman's Unhinged, an account of working in the White House, Donald Trump went on a sexist, racist rant on Twitter, calling Omarosa "a dog" and "a crazed crying lowlife," and claimed that she "begged [Trump] for a job, tears in her eyes."  Manigault Newman, a former Apprentice contestant and Trump aide who announced her resignation in December 2017 citing concerns with the administration, suggests in Unhinged that there are recordings of Trump using the N-word.

• October 31, 2018: Donald Trump tweeted a racist political ad depicting an undocumented immigrant who had been convicted of murdering two police officers.  The ad featured the tagline, "Democrats let him into our country.  Democrats let him stay."  Luis Bracamontes, the convicted man, had a history of crime and was originally released by a sheriff's department that was headed by Republican Joe Arpaio.  He later illegally re-entered the United States during the presidency of George W. Bush.

• July 17, 2019: At a rally in North Carolina, Trump ridiculed U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's name.  "No, no," he said. "I don't have time to go with three different names.  We'll call her Cortez." Trump had made racist remarks about Ocasio-Cortez in the past.  During the same rally, he criticized Representative Ilhan Omar and let the crowd chant "send her back" for thirteen seconds before continuing his speech.

• May 30, 2020: For the second day in a row, Trump condemned people across the country who protested the killing of George Floyd, threatening them with "vicious dogs" and "ominous weapons."  In a tweet that seemed to welcome a confrontation, he wrote, "Tonight, I understand, is MAGA NIGHT AT THE WHITE HOUSE???"

• July 1, 2020: Trump condemned New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio's plan to have the words BLACK LIVES MATTER painted on Fifth Avenue, in front of Trump Tower.  On Twitter, the president wrote that the words were a "symbol of hate" that would denigrate "this luxury Avenue."

• September 13, 2020: Accusing Joe Biden of "being terrible to Hispanics," Trump boasted in a tweet that he received a "highly honored Bay of Pigs Award" from Cuban Americans.  In reality, there is no such award named after the failed 1961 invasion of Cuba.

... and these are only a few of the many other instances of Donald Trump's overt racism.

Trump did win a "Bay of Pigs" award.

A Miami "Bay of Pigs" group endorsed him, and gave him a shield brigade logo framed.

Joe Biden and Donald Trump are both racist.
But, they are it in a different way, and for different reasons.

Joe Biden is secretly racist, he do that to have good contact with the Deep-State, a kind of gaining votes in the Deep-State. That most people dont get noticed about Bidens agenda is because of the Deep-State-Media like CNN support blindly Joe Biden.

Donald Trump is openly racist, he do that to have good contact with his voters during elections, a kind of gaining votes with populism. That most people know about Trumps agenda is because the Deep-State-Media like CNN dont like Trump.
CNN dont support Trump.

Racism is universal, dutch people like Frits Bolkenstein, Stef Blok, Geert Wilders, Baudet, are also not clean.

They have given platform to Trumps narcissistic trolling, and I have serious doubts there is anything blind about it.

The situation was such that the media had it in for Trump since before 2016 , then to continue their attack they made a play to get him impeached . The media literally , “ I think” would have supported anybody but Trump .
The democratic national committee could have put up a janitor type of a worker and the media would have supported them . So perhaps Trump had developed a attitude, Don’t get me wrong , I don’t support misogynists either .
Consider the timing of the Black lives movement and the election . Painting Trump as USA biggest bigot and then pressuring people to get out to vote , as if the cure for the black lives problems , was to get out and vote . So young
People digesting the media show believed what was being fed to them . And inspite of people being murdered by law enforcement . Things will not change . And all that is happening is the passing of time . So memories of these
Events start to fade against black people . The powers that be. Just letting the people vent until they calm down .
Now the media doesn’t even address the BLM anymore in general media . They just wish to continue to harp on the election . Old news (we have a new president) but BLM has vented and things are still status quo . Human lives
Are just casualties of the Election . At least this is how it appears to me .

The title of this thread is currently misleading.  We do not now have any 'candidates' for President.  We have an incumbent ("Lame-Duck") President and a President-Elect.
