Have read his excuses and they won't wash.

Don't really care what Wiggins says.  Cyclists are unlikely to affect our lives.

Only if he is elected PM.

So its OK for any old body to make offensive comments except Trump?  I think ANYBODY should be ashamed and be reprimanded for making such comments.

Come on.  There a huge difference between the mutterings of B and C list celebs and the 'so called' leader of the free world.

Of course it's not right for anybody to be offensive.  However, for the President of the USA it's more than offensive.  It's very worrying.

If he can't set an example he should go back to his 'doggy deals'.

Bradley Wiggins doesn't have access to the nuclear codes. It isn't his offensive comments themselves which are worrying, but the fact that Trump is impetuous and reckless.

I've not seen many comments about Trump's appearance, but I have seen a number about his views, and I can understand people, especially those living in America, being frightened.  You have someone who makes the horrific comments he has made who is then elected president - which shows that those who voted for him either agree with those views (e.g. it's ok to sexually assault women) or don't see them as wrong enough to disqualify him as their nation's leader.

As for not affecting those of us outside the US, bearing in mind he is regular referred to as now being the 'most powerful man in the world', I think it affects EVERYONE.

He is not a mere 'celeb' he is the president of the most powerful nation on the planet, and his actions can affect us all.

I agree. Celebs come and go and they aren't running countries. Their comments and opinions really don't matter, including stupid Madonna's comment about blowing up the Whitehouse.

Trump needs to be above all that, but he just continues to incite the anger with the nonsense he goes on with, especially on twitter.

As for making fun of him, too bad not sad. All politicians get made fun of including Obama (big ears anyone?). The difference is Obama makes fun of himself and when you do that you take away all the power from those who poke fun. Trump needs a lesson in how to do that, because everytime he reacts like a cranky child he will just get more. If he wants to run the "free world" then he needs to put his big boy pants on and harden up.

Millions of people live in the USA so why can't they find someone better than these two? I wouldn't want to vote for either of them.

The most important concern is for climate change.

Trump has already pulled the US out of the Paris agreement. If he stays in expect more of the same.

For me climate change is a far greater threat than Covid-19.

I don't sit up for UK elections.  Once I put my tick down on the paper I can't alter the outcome.

I have little interest in what's happening, it's a poop show as far as I'm concerned.

Apparently it could take weeks++ to get a proper result  :o Trump is already suing for X, Y, Z - who pays for that?

Except for China. He's the only one who's taken them on, everyone else is sitting back watching the monster grow.

I agree about China.  C-19 spread apparently from there and the UK continues to trade - talk about putting all 1s eggs in 1 basket  :-\.  But hey, the UK wanted cheap rather than paying for our own technology - reaps what one sows  :-\
