the use of hunger as a weapon of war and conflict for more i'm joined by data chief international editor richard walker richard hi nice to see you so the u.n. world food program it is this year was that expected it wasn't really one of the most hotly tipped organizations or institutions in the days leading up to the announcement but when you stand back then it certainly does look like it really does fit the mold of many previous nobel prizes the nobel committee has has given the award to u.n. institutions many times over the years and particularly in the years where they're given mission was particularly critical and that is something that nobel committee is saying really is the case right now in terms of hunger and drawing the connection between conflicts and hunger one feeding off the other and also with the corona virus pandemic here on top of that that adding to the problem especially

looking to the year ahead absolutely we actually have a reaction from the devil you have to pay is the executive director reacting to the price. i mean this is the 1st time a bit speechless was. this little talk about the most exciting point of your life as a nobel peace prize it is because of the the family there out there in the most difficult complex places all in the world where this war on climate shrinks it doesn't matter they're out there and they deserve this award and wow wow wow wow mark you. very happy reaction that was this was this decision controversial anyway well what's striking about it is actually how uncontroversial it is many of the other potential candidates would have sparked controversy one way or another the peace prize was inherently a political statement of course and the world. health organization for instance was

hotly tipped and there's a lot of controversy over that with their devices states having pulled out of it is you're accusing it of being closed too close to china or that the world food program is not completely without blemishes been accusations for instance last year from within the organization hours been taking place within it but but in the announcement the chair of the committee said to the world of the w.s.p. to the benefit of human kind it's in an endeavor that all the nations of the world should be able to endorse and support and i think that's been so kind of a side that they do think this is basically something that everyone could get behind why do you think the nobel committee went in that direction then and rather than make more of a political statement because they were quite clear in their thinking in the announcement with the very beginning of the announcement was about multilateralism saying that the 1st line was about the importance of global cooperation particularly in this time so it's not just the mission of the world food programme that they're highlighting here it's also the way it works as

a multilateral organizations countries working together. then also drawing attention to an underappreciated program that's saying that the world is essentially underestimating the problem of hunger at my particular the pandemic coming and saying that at the moment most 100000000 people are facing possible starvation but next year that could go up to 265000000 so that cooling attention of the world's one problem and then these are very specifically they did say that they want countries to step up funding to the world food program to tackle that issue urging countries to boost funding saying that the funding that they're getting currently is not enough so i think really quite concrete objectives that they're trying to achieve by making this announcement this was. the last year was full of scandals and controversies i suppose you could say there were other alternatives do you think the nobel prize is still. up with the times i think it is absolutely

still relevant every year it isn't the world is that the attention of the world is locked on that doorway and also that we just saw that of course there have been prizes over the years that have been controversial and the prizes that don't shed the nobel committee in the best light and the arrival of things like the alternative nobel prize also give you know a forum for. bringing to the fore people who are not on the radar of the nobel committee but i think i think there's no doubt that the place the world would be the poorer without this institution every year really bring in for richard roth thank you for coming off. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world the f.b.i. says it's for oil the alleged plot to kidnap and overthrow the democratic governor of the state of michigan 13 men has been charged many of whom have links to right wing militias thanking all thora teams governor gretchen whitman accused president

trump of stoking extremism by failing to condemn hate groups. the u.s. state of louisiana is bracing for hurricane delta expected to hit on friday evening forecasts show delta had strengthened back into a category 3 hurricane as it closed in on the state on thursday afternoon the projected path includes the area where category 4 hurricane laura made landfall less than 2 months ago. 3 european hostages and one kidnapped molly and politician were freed on thursday after lengthy periods in the hands of islamist insurgents this after reports that molly north already has had free schools of suspected militants it was unclear whether ransoms were paid. taina has approved a genetically modified drought resistant wheat by biotechnology seris is the 1st country in the world to approve a strain of g.m.o. wheat other crops such as corn and soybeans have been widely genetically modified

to improve you or withstand natural threads. israelis opposed to prime minister benjamin netanyahu yahoo's handling of the corona virus pandemic have protested around the country despite new restrictions on public assembly israel currently has the world's highest weekly infection rate per capita. the us president donald trump says he might return to the campaign trail as early as saturday with a rally in florida that's just over a week after he was diagnosed with coronavirus trump made the comments in a television phone interview after his doctor cleared him to resume public engagements but questions remain. when the trauma could still be contagious white house officials have declined to say when he last tested negative for the virus. any medical professionals have expressed some skepticism at trump's conduct earlier we spoke with painted chin hong he is an infectious diseases specialist from the

university of california san francisco he's worried the president might still be contagious several of us so many of my colleagues actually across the country are worried that you may still be infectious and that's for some reasons 1st of all he is not necessarily consider a mild case he was put on steroids after all and if you think about that then the c.d.c. guidelines suggest at least a 20 day window period of isolation not how you can obviate that by getting every test and we don't have evidence of that is there plus added to the fact that he was put on steroids which can actually prolong the viral setting i think that that makes it even more important to make sure that he's not infectious that started infectious diseases expert painted chin home speaking to us a little want to get some more of the latest developments in the pandemic nearly half of all intensive care unit beds in paris and now occupied by covert 19

patients hospitals there have cancelled stuff holidays and postponed non-essential operations china has fully joined the global that 19 vaccine and they should have known as kovacs pledging support to help finance vaccine supplies for low income countries and the u.n. says almost 3000000 migrants are stranded abroad due to coronavirus restrictions is calling for more cooperation between countries to allow people to safely return hymen. and europe is seeing a resurgence of corona virus cases that have now also now suppose those in the united states daily infections have reached record levels in the united kingdom and france in germany meanwhile berlin has been declared a coronavirus hot spot amid a nationwide surge new restrictions are going into effect with the head of germany's main public health institute warning that widespread infections are likely if people fail to cave to hygiene and distancing rules but officials say the country's health care system is up to the task. coronavirus hotspots are cropping

up all over germany but local and regional officials say the country is ready intensive care beds are available at most hospitals nationwide with around one in 3 beds an occupied the increasing number of infections is worrying medical workers but unlike in march they feel they're well prepared because. we are now able to recognize symptoms and patients we have more tests and more protective measures than before for example there is no shortage of mosques which was a big issue in march that's more sustainable nightlife is only one contributing factor to the rising infections in another part of germany it's a nursing home elsewhere it's a slaughterhouse hence the urgent warning this nuclear this is real it's just possible that we see more than 10000 new cases per day it is possible that the virus spreads uncontrolled and i hope this won't be the case. the whole city of

berlin is now a risk area with the number of new infections having risen to 50 per 100000 people well over government threshold. restrictions are imminent. testament point meeting with friends are becoming smaller shorter and less frequent like at the start of the year but i think we all expected it. to become the 1st year in i can't understand why people are being so unreasonable about the nearest. actions are jeopardizing everything that we've worked on in the months up to now so it's. a tight like i know you can't really plan anything anymore because you don't know if you can do it or not and this. the island of reagan was thought to be a safe bet for holidaymakers from by lynn now it's only possible with testing ahead of time and quarantining. and they'd have been caught up with germany's leading for all ages christians of allston here in berlin with the virus now spreading fastest in urban areas have in front of the asked him why

now professor across the cities all over the world seem to be particularly vulnerable for this virus why is this the case and what can be done in cities. well it's actually an obvious thing we have. a younger age structure in cities and we had over the last few weeks a higher incidence in young people over the summer months. so this infection is now prevalent in cities and it's now redistributing into older age groups these are all the effects that we have not only in cities but also elsewhere but obviously because of the higher density because of some situations. like leisure and professional life where you have more people to gather like say and lots off with this. this is probably a specific freight of cities so we have. well. let's say.

and have a higher incidence now what can german cities for example burden learn from the experiences in new york paris london other cities all over the world well i believe the experience in other cities is like. look into the future if we are not ready to to act on the problem now especially and in cities and the the element of this activity is to inform the general public to avoid misinformation and to rely on the corporation of of the general public including the younger people. so to address younger people. via media channels that they actually use. is is really a task that maybe hasn't been addressed sufficiently now one

patient that we see a lot in media channels all over the world the us president is his treatment and medication a blueprint for patients all over the world well this is very difficult to command on because i don't have any particular knowledge on this treatment regimen there are drugs. that are being discussed in the public that will be widely available other drugs will are not even even clear now so. this is. maybe a bit of of a complex type of question. maybe also very specific to this particular place. so you wouldn't say that it's that these medications would be helpful in this fast recovery could be also seen with other patients who get this treatment well i mean . the list of drugs that's being discussed in public i think for each of these

drugs there is evidence for an effect or a pivotal but this all depends very much on the point of time when they are up minister but those are the general condition of the patient and so on so these are all aspects but i can't comment on but the drugs that were given are certainly contributing to a positive outcome germany's leading virologists christian. germany is marking the one year anniversary of a deadly anti semitic attack on a synagogue in the eastern city of hama the attacker failed to breach the synagogues front door but gun down to people outside spoke to one woman who narrowly escapes the attack that day the attacker came to the synagogue to the exact same spot i just walked out the exact same door and he started shooting it down. life is now before and after before the attack and after the attack molly scharf min escaped death by

a stroke of fortune on october 9th $29000.00 in the city of hala a heavily armed attacker arrived around noon to the local synagogue planning to break in and shoot the jewish congregation during yom kippur prayers she missed the assailant by only a few minutes after stepping out for some fresh air in a nearby park shortly before he arrived. in my imagination it felt farther away like i was the park is far away it's protected but actually when i went back i realized it was so much closer the close call this is just beyond comprehension as things got back to normal i actually think that's when things got more difficult so slowly i started feeling kind of symptoms really hard to keep up with everything. a lot of stress and anxiety. a few months after the attack molly was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress

disorder she started treatment and at the same time found great comfort in the very target of the attack her jewish identity and community the communal events such as prayers and singing a part of her therapy. singing is like there will be part one of my connection to judaism and if you look at some of these words there really is kind of what i went through of like you know. even in the hard times got is. this connection to god it will feel even in the more difficult times. better what would have been a year after the attack the alleged perpetrator has gone on trial in the city of mack to board molly sharman was the 1st witness to give testimony in front of the judges in her statement she referred to her family history. my grandfather went through a very terrible thing he lost his whole family in the holocaust and he was able to live and live a life and you know give us love and he was

a cantor and he loved judaism he taught his judaism i was very close to him so that's what. made me feel the strongest was this connection with him and i felt it was important to share that in the court and that is resilience. molly sharman says her grandfather was the only member of the family to survive the holocaust but hala has also made a survivor out of her every year on yom kippur war her grandfather would say a prayer for his granddaughter in hopes of protecting her from any harm she says on october 9th 29000 his hopes were fulfilled this attacker this person cannot take away my grandfather taught me what my grandfather gave me i stood in my own 2 feet i'm strong and i was able to stand in front of a person who has so much hate and try to to hurt us to be able to like say to him you messed with the wrong people. the attack in holland is the most serious

anti-semitic attack in post re-unification germany but it's also part of a worrying trend the interior ministry says crimes motivated by anti-semitism have risen steadily in recent years reaching a high of more than 2000 cases last year just last sunday a man was assaulted and wounded outside a synagogue in humbugged police confirmed that the motive was anti semitism last month chancellor angela merkel said it was a cause of great concern to her that many jews no longer feel safe in germany. and for more on this i'm joined by marina vice fund she's a member of the german green party and also a member of the jewish community here in berlin thanks very much for joining us as we just heard anti-semitism is on the rise and germany's foreign minister says it's the biggest threat in the country do you feel that in your daily life. i feel and many friends tell me that we are more afraid of being jewish in germany today than

we have been hafiz ago or a year ago. this trend started to rise a couple of years ago being. being forced by their platforms by social media where on to semitic conspiracy theories thrive so the attack on hollow was not a surprise to many we were rather expecting when will something happen and where will something happen and we are expecting the next terror attacks today as the likes of queuing on the spread around the globe telling out to semitic conspiracy theories certainly is alarming at i mean it's been a year since the attack now and holler has germany been doing enough. i don't think that germany has been doing enough we are particularly concerned with the far right extremist views within the police because whenever i receive death threats or rape threats what i do is i go to the police but we are now learning of more and

more police stations where right wing radical schatz groups preparation groups have been uncovered and the ministers of the interior on to doing a very good job at uncovering these structures on the contrary they are saying that we do not need studies because the police has no problem of racism and the synagogues aren't protected well enough and where they are the. minister president has been saying stark and it has been saying well the police are needed elsewhere as well and because we have to protect the jews basically we cannot react as fast to calls of the police from the other citizens. will not doing enough then what do you say germany should be doing to tackle the problem. i think that we need to look at the largest structural issues that he is. anticipating and race is

structures within the police that is what is going on on social media monitor it more closely understand these groups more closely and act before words and humor turn into violence because right now police is not taking very seriously what is happening online because it doesn't seem really ill. member of the german green party thanks very much for speaking to josh about our. listen sport now on friday is a big day for formula to stunt driver make sure america in the run up to this sunday's formula one grand prix in western germany will be given a practice drive that could help land him a saint in an f one car next season he's of course tracing the footsteps of his father racing legend michael the elder schumacher won 7 world titles but was injured severely in a skiing accident in 23rd tame and is still recovering. if racing and racing skill is in the blood mick schumacher could be well on his way to becoming one of f

one formula one's greats. i want to write too big to be as prepared as possible. being prepared has been a long and arduous process on racecourses small and big in the same way it was for a mixed father 7 time champion michael schumacher. the carts lead to formula for a mic. his father before him had taken a similar but more winding path. to success has built upon success for the younger schumacher in the lower tiers. just as decades earlier the successes built up for his dad who quickly became one of the best known athletes around. at age 22 michael schumacher drove his 1st season of formula one. when mick turns 22 next year many predict he will drive his 1st season in f one. being compared to my

father was never a problem for me as it's pretty simple for me being compared to the best driver in f one history is the goal. markers rise toward formula one has been bolstered by the academy of the ferrari racing team the same to you for which his father won 5 of his 7 world titles. the 1st impression of the. from karate were so hard opening you know world coming me in the family which was always part of my family's history and one had to move his career forward quickly the younger schumacher though a bit unlike his father before him isn't trying to take it slow even while moving in the fastest of the worlds vastly. as his data but he needs live from berlin as a reminder of the top story we're following for you the united nations world food program has won the 2020 nobel peace prize on the way to

a nobel committee cited the u.n. agency for its efforts to combat hunger around the globe and for leading the fight to stop the use of hunger as a weapon of war. i told him it's our next stop is to the points trumps mysterious recovery will cause them to decide the u.s. election time to get you can stay up to date on our website at c.w. dot com thanks for watching.

to the point of strong opinions clear positions international perspectives. after days of uncertainty don't just say donald trump no longer has any covert 19 symptoms so what's behind the president's mysterious recovery and will the corona undamaged decide the u.s. election find out on to the point shortly. to the point that as we took on g.w. to be. in good shape the topic of this episode affects every single one of us

how is the coronavirus affecting our lives and what impact does it have on our spirits. are more. our relationships. plus. one of the long term effects. good shooting. in 60 minutes on d w. a little more. closely. listening carefully you don't know soon. to be a good. match.

to discover who. subscribe to the documentary on youtube. the days of uncertainty doctors say u.s. president donald trump no longer has any covert 19 symptoms trump returned to the white house earlier in the week after hospital treatment saying he felt good and that fellow americans should not let covert 19 their lives with the presidential election just weeks away trump is presenting himself as a corona superhero and sometimes appearing to show contempt for the more than 200000 americans who've lost their lives in the demick so on to the point where i ask trump's mysterious recovery will cove it decide the u.s.

election. thanks so much for joining us here on the show where my guests are usually a fisher who argues the trump prefers the simplistic to the scientific but that means nothing to the virus also with us is rachel tells in front from the german marshall fund who says trump's strange corona show as she puts it hurts more than it helps but it is still a very tight race and a warm welcome to william blue cross u.s. native and d.-w. news reporter he believes that trumps critics would be wise to temper their shouting for nothing has taken the president down yet. interesting statements thank you all 3 for being here lovely. first question of 1st impression you talk about

trump strange corona show what is your response your personal response to that show to that presentation that we've seen. yeah i mean it's it's. sort of movie type of type of. in the middle of a real pandemic and as you said in the beginning 200000 people have died and then he creates this crazy. that's like like an advertisement like the theater of the absurd it is very much like the theater of the absurd with the background of a very very serious illness and a country that has not managed to to handle it correctly ok we agree that it's a theater of the absurd kind of a performance what is he trying to achieve donald trump with it i mean that he's a superman that he's been able to dominate this virus of this virus is not a very big deal just like he's always been saying all along and it should be very

importantly noted that this virus might not be such a big deal if everyone in america is able to get the kind of health care and the kind of access to medicines that he's been able to get but this can give the corner viruses costing average americans depending on their health insurance plan up to 70000 dollars in most severe cases this is something the president trump doesn't have to deal with orders anyone in government because they get government health care through the whole show that he's putting on at the moment is this is it driven by gut instinct or is it a strategy behind it i mean i'd maybe those 2 things are the same thing he's got and strategy i mean he is a showman we know this from his years at the apprentice the apprentice and miss university really thrive in this kind of showmanship like atmosphere where testing the limits now how much he can bend reality the white house the trump white house has been very much a boy who cries wolf kind of situation and even if they are telling the truth now

even if trump really is better just don't know there's absolutely no reason for us to believe what he's telling us and that's extremely damaging for both his supporters and his opponents. what's really going on do we know do we know you know i mean you're a doctor and only warm when you know with your doctors and i what are you seeing bill of health would you give donald trump at the moment even as a doctor it's hard to tell if you're not there because i mean he did get the medications that's actually reserved for severe cases and if he wasn't severely sick then why did you get them maybe because you said just give me everything that you have and i want it all and that is quite realistic. it's difficult to say also we don't see him all the time he might be resting in bed and later coming out pretending to be the superhero we don't we don't really know would you guess is he going to be able to fight the company into the end weeks ahead it's going to be tough it's going to be tough but it totally depends on how he recovers now if you really is fine and if he does it does get

a negative test because there's something that i as a doctor find very difficult to see how right now being an effect of he runs around without a mask and i mean he does need to get and negative test before he can go back into debates and things i think that should really happen before he gets back to business as usual maybe he gets it done. i think we don't know yet i mean we'll know in the next week probably if he is in fact more seriously ill than he's letting on he's going to hit a wall and for example the debate there's no way he can 1st of all get a negative test 2nd of all stand up there for 90 minutes if he's not actually fit if he can if the debate happens and if you actually shows up then then i think we know ok he really did recover quickly but again he recovered you know maybe also quickly because he had every medicine even experimental mother's medicines that others can get and he was lucky it was removed from certainly appeared to be pumped

up when he returns to the white house let's listen to a little bit of what he had to say. don't let it dominate don't let it take over your lives don't let that happen we're the greatest country in the world we're going back back to work when to be out front as your leader i had to do that i knew the danger to it but i had to do it i stood out front i led. terms in front of the president the president said don't let koby dominate don't let you take over your life are americans likely to be inspired by that message you know all comforting toward definitely not comforted some very few might be inspired by that message but let's look at michigan for a 2nd this was a state i'm from michigan and this is a state that donald trump crucially won in the election after it having gone to democrats in the previous 3 elections. and michigan was the 3rd worst hit state in

the beginning of the current crisis so when i talk to people who live in the suburbs of detroit they they need 2 hands to count the people they know who are very seriously ill some of whom died so this show is not working with them it's not going to work of course we have to remember that even if polls are showing both nationwide and crucial swing states that a majority 2 thirds whatever the number might be might be finding this completely unrealistic and not buying we're trying to saying we don't trump doesn't necessarily need that many votes as we saw in 2016 he doesn't need the popular vote to be able to win and that's the big question is yes the tide is against donald trump yes the numbers are in favor of joe biden are they enough democrats been saying since the convention actually since coming to her 1st speech as the vice presidential pick that democrats need voters to come out in droves it's not enough just to have a win they need a landslide victory not only because of how the math works with the electoral college but just to make a definitive statement to trumpet all the supporters know the reality is our side

it's not going to be enough for there just to be a technical win biden and the democrats. a real hard when you're maybe akin to what we saw on rate with reagan in his re-election in the eighty's and. the statements that i made it in the show i said i indicated that perhaps a sense of among many americans they feel defensive contempt for their lives and struggles from the president is not going to he's not going to help to create a mood will push the democrats. to the size of voting do you say they need a mess right now what democrats are hoping for they've immediately made this not about donald trump they made this about health care this made this about health care access they made this about the seriousness of the virus and that if donald trump the most looked after man in the world and got coronavirus and anyone can that is still very serious really trying to use donald trump to their advantage to make their very point the question is the united states is very much an aspirational country that's america's mojo is its aspirational aspects that

anything is possible regardless of the facts you can go bankrupt a 1000 times as we've seen donald trump do it doesn't matter the man is still president the man became he's put his mind to it he became president there's nothing more american than that idea and the question is are voters going to look at the reality and look at these $210000.00 deaths and all of the other messes that the united states is in social unrest cities on fire forest fire massive hurricanes the economic crisis are they going to look at all those things or they listen to donald trump and listen to this in his kind of reverse optimism the best is yet to come stick with us anything as possible and try to dream big which of those americans are voters going to see or enough voters as i just said enough voters going to see to tip the election one way or the other you know. i think well what has always been doing and what he's still trying to do is really emotionalize everything he says and really. makes the 2 groups of the people. the ones that are

with them and his components and he really gets this group done. going and he emotional as what he has and it's all about we can do with us together and those are the bad guys we have to fight together and i think that is something that's emotionally working with the people unfortunate it's that he plays with the emotions that people have with their fear. and with an attempt to find somebody they can blame in order to know how to act in that situation and i think that is working for him amala ticks are human and humans are emotional so this works well and water almost appears to be a self destructive mode president trump has sparked so the controversy by blocking talks with the democrats coronavirus stimulus package the. misery for many americans the kind of misery that his whole approach to the pandemic has brought with it. so far response to the krona pandemic has left more than 7000000 people

infected and over 200000 dead in the u.s. . at the start of the epidemic this is what he said. looks like by april you know what theory when it gets older warbird miraculously goes away hope that's true instead of listening to experts he suggests bizarre forms of treatment supposing 'd we hit somebody with a tremendous whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful like supposing it were the lady in the body in which you can do either through the skin or. in some other way see the disinfectant if you are. in a minute. he refused to wear a mask during his campaign appearances and at the televised debate in september he mocked his challenger joe biden for doing so it was i don't know i don't wear masks like him every time you see he's got a mask he could be speaking 200 feet away from him he shows up with the biggest

mask i've ever seen. biden the coward versus trump the superman. will this strata. do you work. question trumps the superman by the cow is he going to work the strategy you know 6 i think he was maybe on track to have a little bit of success with that and then he got infected himself and it's really the game changer in the narrative thus far i mean he has to do now because he is he isn't invulnerable he is and i have learned that we have discovered that we now know it apparently for a fact yeah and joe biden is not a coward joe biden is maybe smart because he's not the one who's infected i mean you know not to be crude but the attack is so clear if you can't if the president cannot even protect himself how is he supposed to protect the people. you know how do you make it might be instructive for him to compare donald trump with his his contempt are going to use that word for for doctors for experts for specialists and

somebody like i'm going to medical who is herself a scientist you know this you you described it is so systematic science against superstition yeah yeah i mean what he's doing is. it's so difficult difficult to watch how his scientific advisers tell him one thing and he does another he politicizes the measures against the corona virus and iran way and gets the people not to wear the mask to make sure they are the real trump followers that's really dangerous and reckless and. i don't see how people who also have a scientific belief can cannot see that it's difficult to watch what joe biden for his part has made it clear that he wants corona to dominate the election here's what he had to say on that front. here's what i'll do as president number one call on every single american to worry mask with around other people outside their

households where when you're on public transportation if i can say something here this is not about freedom it's about patriotism. is joe biden going to succeed in and maintaining the coronas story is the central narrative of this election i mean we've had so many huge earth shattering issues and this election year starting with thompson pietschmann then the pandemic the economic fallout the social injustice all the natural disasters trump taxes of have come out finally come to light or at least part of them the debate debacle any one of these things would up and in the election and change the result we're dealing with all of these things at once it seems difficult to imagine how coronavirus won't be the big topic through the election but who knows what these next 2 or 3 weeks are going to bring you know time goes fast because when you yourself have pointed out he's still a boxing metaphor he still on his feet is still fighting how does he manage it. because he's donald trump and he has you know he was once interviewed he was once

interviewed by a photographer for p.b.s. and he was asked you know how do you manage you know this this storm around you in dollar terms that i am the storm he really relishes in this chaos he likes creating chaos and controlling the chaos and you know his you might think his policies and his is being president is despicable but from that point of view he's very effective let me just stick with the 1st 2nd because to you i know that you have said that he's not just the president who is ill but the presidency that is ill that is sick that's right you know donald trump wants to make everything about himself always and for liberals or his opponents people around the world people here in europe who are laughing right now are saying i told you so we even maybe even rejoicing in the fact of donald trump coronavirus after to die for so long or playing it down for so long that playing into his hands about making it all about trump what a president is sick the presidency is sick the presidency is limited in what it can do the president is just the individual filling that role.
