That “Hindsight is 2020” joke hurts pretty hard right about now
Dillon Rust *sigh* i’m sitting here in my bedroom scared of being infected... just, *sigh*, it does hurt pretty hard
Dillon Rust go register voters
Not to mention the Joe Exotic one...
Trump got 2020
Guess its 2024 now
hey, 2020 here. Just gotta say, it gets exponentially worse.
man we thought 2016 was bad
@@kennethgoddu When we just walk into 2017, we thought 2016 was bad; When we just walk into 2018, we thought 2017 was bad; When we just walk into 2019, we thought 2018 was bad; When we just walk into 2020, we thought 2019 was bad. Just want to know what are we going to think when we go to 2021, and 2022
if it wasnt for corona things would be pretty good
@@ojberrettaberretta5314 it's just the beginning...wait until december, then we talk again. We still have time to pile s*it on top of the corona s*it and at the end of 2020 I hame sure we will have a gigantic pile of s*it as we have never seen one. Good luck everybody.
@@KikiT92 yeah cuz of corona
Who's watching this in 2024? This episode aged like fine wine.
Didn't it, though?!
It's not over yet, I am terrified of what's going to happen
Can't wait for this same piece to be recycled almost word for word in November. Jesus Christ, I don't understand this country sometimes.
Yeah i bet this year is gonna look super similar
I had a pretty good time in 2016...
So chilling watching this 6 years later. We actually thought that was a bad year, didn't we?? Us poor, innocent, unknowing fools! 😭😭 all those stars died that year dodging the shitshow that was just commencing.
Yeah, that joke about the year we're desperately looking forward to being 2020 is hilariously ironic in retrospect
I'm rewatching a few of these on New Years Eve, and yeah, honestly the past 6 years started with a bang and just haven't stopped.
Thank god for the news in the past few weeks, so many people getting walloped with karma right in the face!!
Yeah, it's just been this gradient sloping ever more downward since Trump won.
A lot died in 2022 also

“The year we’re most looking forward to is 2020”
Buddy do I got news for you
@thisguy no, this year is fucked
What I was gonna say.
Ohh 2016 when I could still go out in public! The good old days!
Perfect example of hindsight
"Hindsight..." OMG! LOL
"The year we're looking forward to is 2020." Ummmmmmm...
#coronavirus anyone?
@@AmericanDespotism Kobe?
you sure about that? I think you might want to backpedal on that one John.
20 do be hitting like a truck tho
Haha yeah we were all wrong and very wrong about 2020... Here I sit, in a mixed state of breathing/coughing/dying.
You know, watching this in retrospect, it truly feels like 2016 was the beginning of a horrible timeline that culminated with 2020
the timeline is still going on, horribly... I won't sleep well until 2024 - at least.
@@corbeau-_- yeah 2y into 2020 and its kinda getting worse
‘Twas the beginning of the end
Like some sort of time travel movie where they went back to prevent something bad but instead made things worse, way worse. Let's hope they go back again in the future and somehow undo whatever they did.
@@danbsports6760 like back to the future 2
That “oh shit the Supreme Court” hurts now.
I am here to say his 2020 joke is hitting even harder than it did when people made the same comment 1-2 months ago.
It's hitting harder than when this comment was posted, and that was only 3 days ago :P
We’re not halfway yet, hold on to your briefs.
Man are you gonna look naive in a few months... I don't even want to know why yet
Yeah, it's worse now. Can't wait to see what happens by the time the next commenter gets here.
vincentvdh9 defintley worse
John Oliver at 24:04 -“2016 has been the f**cking worst!”
2020-“Hold my beer.”
2020: "Oh wait, we need to stay 6 feet apart" _throws the beer_
The problem with 2020 is that it's already the worst year I can remember and it could get so much worse in the remaining three months.
2020: Hold my Covid-19

And Trump getting reelected just to make us suffer more
@@joshuaminnich3896 The people that suffered are from democrat states...
@@candelarianorig Soo Trump getting elected would be a giant slap in the face after an auful year
I'd LOVE to see John and the team reviewing these older videos, getting reactions and updated views. SO many of the predictions and points touched in this episode just aged like a fine wine. Or like a tire-dump fire. I'm not sure anymore.
You watch reaction videos of people who have never seen a particular comedians bit or something. I’d really like a internet-only reaction video from John about some of these old shows…..
Aged like milk.
Anyone else in 2022, on a masochist binge of old John Oliver? I can’t stop.
Well, hell is still frozen (it's thawing now, don't worry) and the only channel my boss allows down here is HBO. Me and a few of my colleagues like to watch it in our free time.
Yep, It’s 2024. And Trump has been indited for 91 felonies.
It is Wednesday, June 3, 2020, and I would like to formally apologize to 2016. We were too hard on you. I'm sorry.
Yeah man at least 2016 had a good nba finals

TRUMPS A FCKING NAZI WTF
To be fair, it was the worst year. Yet. Of course 2020 topped it. What could save it now? I'm not even certain Trump being voted out of office and a vaccine against the coronavirus would do it.
Honestly, since then every year has been a blur. Even though 2020 is awful, it is still going pretty quickly. 2016 was just fucking wild
It's like how people are now reminiscing the quaint times when only 2977 people died under GW Bush's wings.
Watching this on November 7th, 2020 is _very_ satisfying .
It sure is
Indeed!
Oh yeah
Is it though? Everything is sooooo much worse this year
Is it? I mean, Trump and Corona are still there.
I guess watching this from 2021 will feel better.
"Fuck you 2017, I hate you already."
A precedent was set. A precedent was set that has yet to be broken.
The Supreme Court? This episode was everything I feared in 2022
The Supreme Court is what it always should have been: conservative. I don't believe in a free-wheeling, flexible constitution. The constitution's meaning changes when Congress amends the constitution, not when liberal justices with an agenda decide to make changes that they feel are virtuous
@@alkazar625 ya like when we wrote an amendment that say all men are equal regardless of race and then the supreme court actively worked to undo it for over 50 years, wait no.....
@@wmeuse2375 First, which amendment are you talking about, and what cases are an example that actively worked for over fifty years to overturn it?
@@alkazar625 given there is only one amendment that talks about race explicitly, I might be talking about that one. Plessy v. Ferguson is probably the simplest case to talk about over the internet. Although there are others.
@@alkazar625 So the Supreme Court should be what the world isn't? The world is progressive, that's how change is made. But I guess you still live in a house with no electricity and farming your own vegetables?
2020: When you're feeling nostalgic for 2016, something has gone horribly wrong.
They elected Trump....
its so true and is not about Trump
@G remember how he was responsible for the deaths of 150,000 Americans *_and counting_* because he cares more about the economy than the people?
@G sounds like a*thrilling*, Machiavellian society you're thinking of. Here's a little tidbit for you: Bush left office with a plan in place for a pandemic/epidemic. Obama used it during the two health scares in his two terms and left a "game plan" for the succeeding person and they failed to even read it. So, before you insult a person's intelligence, check your own.
For example, give me your source for your "millions" dying "of heart disease under Obama" claim

Thank you for expressing everything I’m feeling but don’t have the energy to convey. Stay well 😊
Random people: "2016 blew, it was just awful."
Me on November 2020: wow, two people next to each other in an enclosed space. incredible
And no masks. 😭😭😭
I haven’t seen a human irl in some time, they still have two eyes right?
@@ProjectEchoshadow I think so?
Its ironic at the end John mentions doing more than sharing this video around 'your bubble'. That's true, bc people who don't have common sense or believe facts don't watch this show!
So much different than now with all the people respecting the mask policy and the social distancing. Oh wait, I just remembered, I meant he exact opposite, like how the us completely fails at stopping the virus and THE worst country at handling the crisis, how all the anti vaxxers and the idiots deciding "fuck the quarantine this is spring break yolo" and the other jackasses doing rallies.
People in 2016: "Yeah this was definitely the worst year ever"
People in 2020: "You sweet summer child..."
People in 2021: "You naive sweet child"

I’m pretty sure I said all of that. Out loud. As I was watching and rewatching this video

2023: brace for impact we're in for a doozy 😭
"Turns out hindsight, much like the year we're all now desperately looking forward to, is 20/20"
Well that quote aged like milk
John: “Yes, it turns out hindsight, much like the year we’re all now desperately looking forward to, is 2020.”
Me in September of 2020: This aged well.

2020: "Hey John! Good news - you'll be able to perform that exploding sign trick again in a stadium in 2020, and for much cheaper. You wouldn't even need to wait until the election - and you'll never believe why."
Drain the swamp, yeah fucking right. Almost all of his potential picks for his cabinet are swamp monsters.
+
GREGORY RUSSO Have you looked at his cabinet picks? Trump has just fallen in lockstep with his party's platform.
GREGORY RUSSO I did not vote for HRC or Jill Stein. Do you deny that Trump has walked back on his promise to 'drain the swamp'? It sure looks like he has. Nearly all of his potential appointees are Washington insiders.
If you didn't vote for Hillary you helped let this happen.
Bob Bigglebar I couldn't vote for someone who was so arrogant that she thought she was entitled to the presidency. I was going to vote for her until all of the evidence came to light that she was trying to steal the nomination. She was very likely going to win it anyway, but she had to pay people off to undermine her opponent in every way possible. I always thought that the email controversy was bogus, especially compared to all of Trump's skeletons. The whole Bengazi thing was garbage too. More diplomats had been killed under previous administrations. If you're looking to place blame for HRC loosing the election, blame HRC. She alienated her own party by making sure that her opponent didn't get a fair shake.
This has aged like the finest wine 🍷 The mugshot is in!!
🥂 Cheers everybody!!🥂
I wonder how the diehard trumpers in this comment section are feeling right about now? 😊
@@crystalkarma2015 grief comes in many stages, first and foremost is denial

@@avalley6421 And Gorsetch or whatever his name is
Why does the supreme court elect for life? Its too English... no political position should be life-long.
@@Seldomane I mean, the United States is based on common law like England, not civil law. Much of our constitutional law is based on English laws since we were a British Colony prior. Lifetime positions for Supreme Court Justices maintains a stronger balance of powers between the judicial and the other two branches of government IMO
If John Oliver doesn't cap 2020 off with an even bigger "2020" sign, getting blown to hell-and-back, then that will have been one of the biggest missed opportunities since GoT season 8

We may still be quarantine and we still maybe having a pandemic ripping through the world.
The good (?) news is he won’t have trouble finding an empty stadium to use
@@erin1499 You think the 2020 sign is going to fit in a stadium?
This video is proof that no matter how bad you think a year is, the next one can always get worse.
Not really. 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 were all better than 2016. 2022 and 2023 were worse than it.
Let’s hope for a better 2024! That was a joke, haha, fat chance.
The fact that this not only references 2020 as the year to look forward to, but also mentions Joe exotic is such insane foreshadowing
“The year that we are looking forward to is 2020”

You know what I find interesting about Trump supporters? All they seem to care about is "we won, we won." If you tell them about something horrible Trump has already done, they'll just say "he won, get over it." "Winning" is all that matters to them. They think it's over now, roll credits. They have no idea what happens in the next four years and they aren't thinking of it anyway.
Evan Harris I think he's going to get shot. Not by an enraged liberal, but by someone who voted for him. Someone who felt lied to for years and put all their faith in him only to have him ignore them like everyone else. The wall is never happening and the coal industry isn't coming back. His base will come to hate him.
I am a Trump supporter. I look forward to having a respectful and mature debate with you regarding Trump's policies and stance. Just a little background information here: I am a college student in New England. I am 21 years old and Asian. I have a girlfriend who also supports Trump. I am an immigrant but I will be a citizen after I marry my love.
The Trump supporters in my university(which is more scarce than gold in the Earth's crust) numbers few. And after the victory we were all celebrating. For I believe in traditional values and a free market. I am a conservative, also a classical liberal if you know what I mean.
I wonder what your views are, so we could construct a discussion regarding Trump and his policies.
I see that you have certain concerns regarding an incoming Trump administration and its unpredictabilities. But I assure you that it will last for 4 or 8 years, then you get someone else. So live through and prosper, and better luck next time.
But in reality Trump didn't win because of "racism" or "whitewash", Trump won because Hillary lost. What I mean by that is Hillary Clinton failed to perform on her bases(minorities and poor) in key battleground states. Thus the victory of Trump is not solely because of Trump, more because of the democrats failures to address the issues people actually want to hear.
Furthermore, the Obama administration did not satisfy some Americans, especially in the rust belt. Their lives were changed radically, for the worse. Thus they invested their faith into someone else. Trump could be good, or bad. But they know four more years of democrats will only make their situation worse. So it was a gamble, almost. I just think calling these working class people, who are mostly white, demeaning names and titles is unbefitting and unbecoming of a political party. So were Trump's remarks of minorities, but at least they did have some factual bases.
In short. America doesn't need a female president, nor an African American president. America needs a good president. And let us hope Trump is as good as he could be.
Basil So you are a 21 year old , in college, not a graduate which means....you've never voted before this election and as is true of most Trump supporters, you know nothing about how government works. Trump threatened to do all kind of things that no president can do. Your opinion means zip, zilch, nothing. He will either be impeached or some government agency will willingly and jump in and have him charged with all the crimes currently pending. So, don't hold your breath. He didn't win so quit saying that. The vote simply separated smart ppl from ignorant illiterates.
Flypurplecat Interesting argument. I have not voted before, nor did I vote this time. I am an immigrant with a student visa, I can't vote. I wonder why you say that most Trump supporters haven't voted before either. Compare the amount of whites that voted for Trump and for Romney in 2016, there is a 1% increase(I quote the NYT). The people that voted for Romney pretty much all voted for Trump, but that didn't win Trump the election. The minorities and women were the key to the race. They did not vote Hillary in a landslide, rather Hillary lost ground in all minority votes to trump. Which could point out that her campaign is mainly based on "I'm a woman" and "I'm protector of minorities", this bullshit doesn't work anymore. More whites with a college degree voted for Trump than Hillary, so I suppose the education system must be failing if all these "ignorant illiterate" people are going to college.
Trump will be the president, my president, and your president. While pointing out that my opinions are worth nothing, so are yours. All your arguments are based on opinions and speculations. Trump won fair and square, rather than trying to deny the results, suck it up. I did not like the results of the two previous elections, but my life went on. And so will yours for the next four or eight years.
I come from the year 2024.... if you thought 2016 was bad you better hold on.....

@@PAWfessionalTennis it's not that odd. The documentary was basically a result of people seeing that he turned heads... How could he not.

Watching this in 2023, laughing at that “year we’re all looking forward to is 2020” line.
Its weird. trump supporters seem to get so mad when information challenges their reasons for voting for him. I find it completely hysterical.
sariah moody this information is complete bullshit...find real facts...not your "feelings" based headlines in your cnn newsfeed.
I just don't want to go to war with Russia, sorry honey.
Funny because Hillary supporters are the exact same way. I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just saying that Dems and Reps are basically the same.
You are very correct. I've shown my co-workers his videos and quotes from his website and they still refuse to believe. "He was saying that for the election! He's not going to really do that." is all I hear.
cognitive dissonance
The Joe Exotic joke aged really well there.
Watching this from 2023 all I can think is that if most of us watched this back then we STILL wouldn't have been prepared for the past 6 years. If only 2016 had been the worst year. Since then every year has been if not worse at least just as bad.
Yea I don't think anyone could've predicted the pandemic lol. In all honesty tho I think the pandemic is what most contributed to Trump's loss in the 2020 election. Didn't even have a chance after Covid
@@TheRatsintheWalls "@racool911
Here's the thing, dozens maybe hundreds of people predicted something like it. Obama even set up a pandemic response team. Trump dismantled it."

2020: 👀
Honestly, at this point it's just leap years in general that suck
Who's going to be president number 46? Fucking Larry the cable guy?
no its gonna be jake from state farm
I don't know who will come next. I do know they will be elected according to our system of government.
You sure about that? Tell that to Russian citizens, haha.
Trumps been thinking for over 30 years about getting into politics. He has more experience then obama that basically got the job because of a mistake made by Bill Clinton.
Everyone knows that Trump fulfills the prophecy and soon Camacho will ascend on high, brought to you by Carl's Jr.
that ending was so therapeutic

I like when he said, *_"And one last thing.....it's going to be all too easy for things to start feeling normal again...."_*
Hi there, I'm from 2021. And....I just want to let you know, don't worry.
That feeling you speak of...never happens. In fact, I'm pretty sure this "normal feeling" you speak of....is objectively over, for good.
I can’t decide whether it’s wonderfully cathartic or incredibly painful to watch this in 2020.
Yes.
How about painfully cathartic?
It's resensitizing. It helps to remind us of just what an unthinkably grotesque shock it was when this went down.
I guess that leans to 'incredibly painful,' sadly.
Well that's your answer.
meh. 2022 and already dreading 2024....
Watching this in 2022... maniacal laughter at "2016 was the absolute worst"

Fuck that. Trump just appointed an anit-semetic, white supremacist, wife beater as the new Chief of Staff.
I decided that on Wednesday and he's already fucked up stupendously.
Trump shouldn't need our faith to do his job (Obama's certainly didn't have half of America's). I'm not obligated to give him a chance. If he can't help me regardless, then HE has to sleep with that.
The only people who are so ready to just let bygones be bygones and forget all the hateful shit Trump said, and all the deplorable sons of bitches he stirred up, are white people.
It's not anything new, but it has been made clear that racism is just an idea to white people, while it is a fact of life for PoC.

Watching this in 2023 is just amazing
“2016 has been the very worst” Anyone else here in 2020 just laughing and laughing in horrific irony?! 🤪
Me
well considering at the fact that these last four years have all felt like the same year just because of how crazy it has been yes, yes it has.
2016 was a good year in comparison
Not I cuz everything that happened that year shaped the next 4 maybe 10 years....we gave em a chance and he governed just like we thought, I mentally ill hospital patient who escaped and now people listen to him.. ranting and raving like a lunatic and about 80-90% of what he says isn't real.
2016 was SUCH a good year omfg
2016: Im the worst year ever!
2020: lol
Steve Bannon for 2020.
Stevie boy yeah
they would have been happy in 2016,
if they new how bad 2020 will be ^^
Lol
2020.... Hold my BEER..

It’s terrifying how much more painful yet prescient this has gotten year by year
The fact that he mentions Joe Exotic in this video where he says that 2020 is the year we’re all looking forward to is frankly chilling
When RBG died John Oliver's words rung out in my head for weeks.
"Donald Trump is going to shape the Supreme Court for generations to come."
God damn it why didn't she step down when Obama was in power?!
@@bananian It's RBG. She was always going to retire when she died. But it's awful that she had to go.
So far the supreme court hasn’t been too awful, yet. But do not let your guard down for even a moment
Was that why the Democrats floated the idea of expanding the Supreme Court? Something Trump never actually tried to do.
@@mlpfanboy1701 this comment unfortunately did not age well considering by June of this year there’s a near definite chance that we’re going to lose our reproductive rights😞
I'm just here to remind myself to appreciate how long it's been since the last time I heard anything about this orange-stained foreskin. I am well and truly reminded, thank you.
Sadly America has been much worse since he left. Shootings are up economy had gone to shit women's rights are being stripped people's rights are disappearing.
Yup we may have inflation, the worst economy, war In Europe, looming famine that threatens to kill millions as a result, but at least we don’t have mean tweets from the bad orange man!
You're lucky. He continues rallying, endorsing the most unhinged candidates, and poisoning the republican party by spreading his Trumpism into every branch of government across the country as the majority of non-supporters remain completely unaware. By the time it hits you, it'll be too late.
2020 hold my beer 🥴
John Oliver 2016: "optimism is nice, if you can swing it. but you've got to be careful, because it could lead to the normalization of Donald Trump. He is abnormal"
Me 2020: ...A little to late now...
Also, I'm a bisexual and I feel very confident that I won't be killed or forced out of the country.
Edgy Fandoms M8 you can feel confident all you want, doesnt mean you wont be discriminated agianst. thats the problem. feeling have no grounding in reality. the world doesnt revolve around feelings.
probably because your sexual preferences have nothing to do with your intelligence.
Or maybe he doesn't live in a echo chamber that tells him the world is ending.
so you are saying everyone complaining on the street brainwashed by biased media are the intelligent ones?
Job Thompson Well, there have been numerous cases of Trump supporters being beaten in the street in broad daylight. It wasnt just "feelings" for them. But I doubt you'd argue every Trump supporter should fear for their safety.
Trump can't single-handedly destroy the Civil Liberties of all minorities w/an executive order or something, and I don't think the Republicans want to.
Wait a minute, Brexit was 7 YEARS AGO. I need to think about it for a minute
2016: there's been a lot of hostility to many groups
2023: hunting trans kids for sport might become an olympic discipline
“The year we’re all now looking forward to: 2020”
Wew lad. Much regret?
Spoiler alert: Trump wins in November.
@IAN WILSON He's not losing.
@@calloway1972 ouch
Fun Fact: In the next 4 years after this, it never started feeling remotely normal. Felt new and horrible every morning! No post-it notes needed.
If anything, starting your day with "what stupid shit has the president tweeted this morning while I was asleep" was the new normal.
How boring is your life that you have Trump in your head rent free?
@@menacetosociety1471 He's the president of the fucking country with a massive, lie-shitting mouth and more active Twitter fingers than some teens I know. How are you able to ignore him?
I rewatch these old videos because, in a world where we live in a Global Pandemic, increasing military tensions, and democratic backsliding, it's oddly nostalgic to look back when we thought this was the worst we had to deal with.
👌👀👍
watching the 2016 reel in 2022 makes you go "oh you sweet sweet summer child"
Haha, brilliant!!
Oliver is funny, but his self-righteousness and the condescension of celebs like him are part of why Trump was elected. People are sick of liberals decrying anyone who doesn't agree with everything they do as ignorant and bigoted.
omi god are here you are being a bigot with someone who disagrees with you
You forgot racist and misogynist and homophobic and all the other buzzwords that the left use to try controlling people.
Melba Marie Republicans aren't as smart though. Sorry if someone pointing it out offends you.
Being told your wrong, is not bigoted, it is however true. I'm not sorry I'm right, I'm just sorry that for some reason you can't seem to figure the truth out for yourself.
Trump didn't win, Clinton lost (despite having the popular vote)
anyone watching in 2019, amazed that the earth is still spinning?
@Clara Miller I know I sure am.
Yes, here!
BUT HIS STILL UR POTUS.. For Fuck Sake do something about its before we all BURN
That is a depressing bare minimum standard you have there.
Im amazed lib tards still beleave the lies over the years. Look at the statistics gpd highest its been black and all around unimportant at all time low :)
“Hindsight much like the year we are desperately looking forward to is 2020” that aged well….
2016: “The worst year ever.”
2020: Here, hold my beer.” 🍺
2016: _chugs it_ thanks dude, but I'm still worse.

13:24-13:52 You warn of unreliable news sources and then use BuzzFeed as a source. I mean seriously.
Turtle Shell they fact check
Just because buzzfeed makes you cringe doesn't mean they can't actually do investigative reporting. Sheesh i'm a guy who actually hates buzzfeed I can't believe you've made me defend them.
you're worried about anything a comedy news show says...
Buzzfeed isn't classic buzzfeed anymore, they do occasionally put out very well done articles.
buzzfeed... investigative reporting... LOLOLOL
watching this video in 2022 and going, "oh sweety..." over and over again
Watching this in October 2023, thinking how good 2016 was. I'm horrified that in 2030 we'll look back to October 2023 and think "Aaah, what a year that was..."
"This has been a shitty year." - John Oliver

John J. Gillick TRUE
Ha come to 2020 Trump got elected again.
Hey, thanks for encouraging Trump to run for president, John!
Tin Man I know, but no one thought he would win this is insane
is anyone smart anymore? A lot of people wanted him to run.
Tin Man
Well, doing it as a joke isn't nearly the same as "hey, this Trump guy really seems fit to be the man in charge".
Because what John Oliver says is law!
24:02 "2016 has been the f*****g worst."
Damn I miss 2016 so much.
2022 is about to end and I still cant believe this happened.
IVE BEEN WAITING ALL FREAKIN WEEK FOR THIS. IN B4 VIRAL!!

"Donald Trump is going to shape the supreme court for decades to come"
Aged... well... again...
Seat number 3 won't be confirmed until after the election though
@@OdinsVikingr they better fucking not. hopefully, the democrats can gridlock this shit until the end of 2020. i really hope people vote for the least-worst option, but given everything that's happened this year, we'd be lucky if the US doesn't make the fragile states index by the end of it. we've went from oligarchy straight to tyranny, and skipped "dictatorship" entirely, in the "life cycle of countries".
@@birdn4t0r7 oh I have no doubt they'll gridlock everything to the extent they can because that's all politics is in this country anymore. Both sides are to blame for the devisiveness in this country and the media just pours even more gas on the fire by creating and recreating problems that otherwise would not exist. I hope people will choose the least worst candidate as well and in my eyes it is Trump right now because if Biden gets elected all he will be is a puppet and then after a couple years I see him stepping down due to health issues and just age and then Harris will ascend to the presidency. Honestly I don't see a way at this point that the division in this country can be healed because both sides and the media feed off of the constant unrest and pain of others. All they do is spread propaganda for which ever side they support and feed off of people's anger and fears. It is sad and honestly scary and I'm ashamed this is what our country has come to..... One of the greatest countries in the history of the world destroyed from the inside by its own people. It truly is a shame
RIP R.B.G.
