    Nothing wrong with a guy feeling like showing off his physique. More power to him. That is the beauty of a free country.

    I find it odd that you need to show this to us though... are you you implying that he is attractive to you and you are a fan?

    Donald Trump deserves a second term

    (CNN) The case for President Donald Trump is simple: He made the economy work for so many Americans, kept us out of new and costly wars and even brokered peace deals in the Middle East.

    He believes our taxes should be lower, not higher -- and signed into law sweeping tax relief for businesses and the vast majority of federal income tax filers. He thinks government shouldn't overregulate, rolling back numerous Obama-era overreaches, while working with his Republican allies in Congress.

    And despite his relative dovishness, he has invested in our military and in the men and women who wear the uniform. As a result, our enemies know we are more than capable of finishing them. Just ask the former leader of ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi or former Iranian General Qasem Soleimani.

    Beyond that, Trump stands up against the worst impulses of the American left and the radicals who seek to banish from the public square those who dare to think differently. Heck, even the Girl Scouts deleted a tweet congratulating Amy Coney Barrett on her elevation to the Supreme Court because of pressure from the liberal Twitter mob. Is that the kind of American we want, where unhinged progressives can shut down even a simple tweet of congrats to an accomplished female judge?

    Whatever problems I have with him -- and there are more than a few -- Trump's willingness to stand up to this kind of mob impresses the hell out of me. Standing by Justice Brett Kavanaugh during a tough confirmation fight, for instance, was a particularly proud moment.

    Trump is not a perfect person. His personal history, and the way he speaks to and about people can be atrocious. But Trump did become the first sitting president to attend the March for Life Rally this year, where he voiced his unwavering support for "unborn children," who he said "never had a stronger defender in the White House." Whether his views on abortion are pure or transactional, I care not. He stands up for the unborn who can't stand up for themselves -- and has appointed judges, like Barrett, who will hopefully do the same.

    Elections are choices. Pro-life or pro-choice. Higher taxes or lower taxes. Support free speech or coddle censorship. No politician ever satisfies me fully, but Trump comes far closer than Joe Biden ever could.

    There's room for Trump to improve, but in no way does Biden represent a step in a policy direction that I can support as a conservative. He fails the test on virtually every issue I care about, and I expect the United States would move radically left on his watch, especially on abortion.

    And for all of the President's missteps, including his rhetorical failures in dealing with coronavirus, this vote is about the next four years. We will likely have a vaccine soon (and in large part thanks to Trump's leadership on Operation Warp Speed), and we will defeat this virus no matter who wins.

    So, who can lead us through that day and beyond, restoring the American economy and stopping the radicals from tearing up the American political institutions they find inconvenient?

    Donald J. Trump.

    Why are you falsely representing that CNN endorsed Trump, or that Trump wrote this column himself, by not listing the author?

    Most contracts with campaigns end on the night of the election.

    @generalthade_03 is just a blow hard.

    You supported a fascist. Are you going to do what the GOP did with Bush jr, pretending you weren't a bootlicker for a fascist?

    Half right: Joe Biden is not going to pour gasoline on a world on fire. But He is not going to be its savior.

    I don’t think anybody thinks that, they just know he’s not going to try to burn it down for his ego. Why you supported someone that has no semblance to a. Sane individual is beyond me

    Supported him? You’ve been sucking him off non stop for 58 pages on a basketball forum.

    Trump and Obama are equally egotistical. The media licked Obama's nuts even though he was completely inept. Trump was a better President in four years than Obama was in eight. Let's see how Biden does

    Do you want the media state owned? Because the current capitalist based model of the media incentivizes hyping up **** to generate a larger audience because they gotta increase profits.

    Socialize news?

    No they absolutely aren't.

    Obama doesn't say **** like "he's the best president for blacks since Abraham Lincoln".

    He doesn't brag about crowd sizes. He doesn't brag about tv ratings. When he discusses policy he discusses it without involving himself.
