The second debate of the US presidential election was cancelled, but Trump and Biden’s voter question and answer session will be held at the same time on 15 October 2020, and the two will compete in different spaces to attract outside attention.
The National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) reported that Trump will hold a question-and-answer session in Miami, Florida at 8 pm on 15 October. The audience must maintain social distance and wear masks. The event will last about 1 hour. Trump will answer questions from voters in Florida, and NBC will broadcast the whole process.
Earlier, Biden had announced that he would participate in a question-and-answer meeting held by the American Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) in Philadelphia. The program will run from 8 pm to 10 pm on 15 October. ABC will also broadcast live.
The second debate on the presidential candidates was originally scheduled to be held on 15 October but the US Presidential Campaign Debate Committee cancelled the second debate on the grounds of Trump's health. The outside world believes that the question and answer meeting between Trump and Biden on 15 October will become a contest in the air.
In the early morning of 2 October, Trump announced that he and the first lady had contracted SARS-CoV-2 (CCP virus), and the election situation was suddenly variable. The Biden camp took this to attack the Trump administration's epidemic prevention measures.
However, what is surprising is that Trump recovered miraculously and quickly after treatment and was discharged from the hospital and returned to the White House on 5 October. Since then, the plot has undergone a big turnaround, and Trump has gained the upper hand, and his approval rating has risen significantly.
Democratic presidential candidate Biden told the media on 6 October that if Trump has not recovered during the second presidential election debate, then the debate should be cancelled.
The US Presidential Campaign Debate Committee proposed to change the second presidential candidate debate to a video format for health reasons, but was rejected by the Trump team. The Trump team requested that the debate be postponed, but Biden refused, and the final debate was forced to cancel.
Tian Yun, a current affairs analyst, believes that the second presidential election debate was cancelled because the Democratic Party and Biden had no confidence and were unwilling to enter the ring again.
According to previous rules, the second debate will take the form of a town hall, where multiple participants will have the opportunity to ask two candidates questions, and the host will follow up in due course. Compared with the first debate, this format is more favourable to President Trump.
Trump can directly discuss economics and people's livelihood topics with voters, review the achievements of the past four years in power, and elaborate on the direction and measures for the second term. He has a number of data and cases that are beneficial to the current government, and he also has a clear plan for the future, just to tell the people of the whole country: "Why should I work for another four years."
As far as Biden is concerned, he must put forward a specific plan instead of being vague. He needs to explain what problems he can solve and what benefits he can bring to the people if he is elected. So far, Biden has not handed in such an answer sheet.
In addition, as Trump himself said, his infection with the CCP virus was a blessing in disguise. Because of his personal testing of the medicine, the United States obtained effective medicines for the viral treatment of covid and will provide them to all American senior citizens free of charge.
Trump said, "We will defeat it (the CCP virus). We have the best medical equipment. We have the best drugs, all of which have been developed recently."
Tian Yun said that this caused the Democratic Party to attack Trump's epidemic prevention, but lost its focus.
Americans are most concerned about how to deal with the CCP. Biden has always been vague and avoids talking. Trump and Biden are in sharp contrast. Trump directly pointed at the CCP and vowed to hold the CCP accountable for the spread of the epidemic. The Trump administration has recently made a succession of countering the CCP’s infiltration, safeguarding human rights, and spurring the international community to join forces against the CCP.
The 2020 US election is approaching, and the last TV debate between Trump and Biden is scheduled to be held on 22 October. At present, the Trump team is full of confidence, and everyone will wait and see how much "surprise" there will be in October.

The first lady of the United States, Melania, stated in a statement on 14 October that both her and President Trump’s son Byron Chinese Communist virus (Wuhan pneumonia) tested negative.
Melania Trump issued a statement on the 14th stating that when she was diagnosed two weeks ago, the first thing she thought about was whether her son Barron Trump was also diagnosed. Byron's initial test result was negative, and he tested positive again. However, 14-year-old Byron did not show any symptoms and the current test result is negative.
Melania explained her health in the statement and said that her symptoms were mild. She had experienced body aches, coughs and headaches, and felt tired most of the time.
The statement also said that she understands that she and her family are very lucky and receive high levels of care. She thanked the medical team for their care, and also paid tribute to medical staff and first responders everywhere. I also pray for everyone who is struggling with covid or other diseases or challenges.
After Trump and his wife Melania were infected, Trump was admitted to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (Walter Reed National Military Medical Center) at night of 2 October, and was discharged from the hospital at night of 5 October and returned to the White House. On 14 October, Dr Fauci officially announced that the President no longer has traces of SARS-CoV-2. Melania chose a more natural treatment, using vitamins and healthy foods.
White House physician Sean Conley released a presidential health memo on the 12th, stating that Trump has tested negative for the CCP virus disease for several days.
After the Trumps were diagnosed, the first family members were also tested separately, including the eldest daughter Ivanka Trump, her husband Jared Kushner, and the eldest son Donald Trump Jr. Their results are all negative.

News (3) Updated 16/10/20
The Biden poll is super high? Two indices to see Trump's odds
Surprise burst in October. On 14 October, the scandal of Hunter Biden, the son of Joe Biden, was exposed at the tip of the iceberg. In recent days, there may be a large number of photos and other evidence that have been made public. This is a head-on blow to Biden, who is sprinting in full force.
At 14 October night, Trump went to Iowa, the heart of the United States, to hold a campaign rally. Since his recovery, Trump has not stopped for a moment, and he has moved non-stop to various regions to meet with voters.
Nonetheless, the poll results released yesterday (14th) by IBD/TIPP, known as the most quasi-polling agency in the United States of this century, showed that Biden was still ahead of Trump by a large margin, and seemed to be cheering that Biden was about to enter the White House. With less than 20 days to go before voting day, who will win? Trump or Biden?
Polls generally favour Biden
According to the RCP (Real Clear Politics) website, a US presidential candidate can become the owner of the White House as long as he gets 270 electoral votes.
IBD/TIPP is known as the most quasi-polling agency of this century. The latest poll yesterday (14th) showed that Biden led Trump's 42.7% with 50.7%. This data is a survey of 866 voters who may vote on the same day from the 9th to the 13th.
The IBD/TIPP polls for the previous three presidential elections showed an average difference of only 0.9 percentage points from the actual results, ranking first with Pew.
The latest data show that Biden may have 216 electoral votes, and Trump has 125. There are 197 swing tickets.
It's not just this organization, but the same is true of the left media's polls, even thinking that Biden is sure to win the election. For example, the "New York Times" poll shows that Biden leads Trump by 3 to 12 percentage points in six swing states. NBC and Wall Street Journal polls show that Biden leads Trump's 39% with 53%. Bloomberg's October 6 poll showed that Biden's winning rate was as high as 82.5%. CNN predicts that Biden will win 290 electoral votes into the White House.
Only the latest poll by the Washington think tank Institute of Democracy shows that Trump leads Biden's 45% with 46%. It is predicted that Trump will win 320 electoral votes, and Biden will only get 218.
Looking at the numbers in various polls, most think Biden will win. However the gap in the polls is too outrageous. Is it credible?
Expert: Basic disk will not move
Chinese economist Cheng Xiaonong said in a hot interactive program on NTDTV that poll data basically cannot reflect public opinion. After the start of this year's election campaign, the situation in the 2016 election has once again appeared, and the polls are diametrically opposed to the real election.
Cheng Xiaonong believes that most employees of those polling agencies are biased towards the Democratic Party and cannot maintain neutrality. Moreover, a very high proportion of people who support Trump refused to answer the polls. And this "rejection rate" is an important indicator. If the rejection rate is as high as 10% or 20%, it means that the poll has failed. It also shows that the polling agency lacks credibility but American polling agencies generally conceal the refusal rate.
Taiwan's general economist Wu Jialong also believes that the current polls are the same as in 2016. The reason for this is that there have been deep changes in American society but many media are unable to interpret them, or deliberately cover up or even distort them.
Wu Jialong analyzed that the globalization of the past 30 years has caused the tearing of American society. A large number of job opportunities have moved abroad, and wage growth has also been compressed.
Wu Jialong specifically pointed out that the CCP has long-term red penetration of the American elite, buying American scholars, media, think tanks, politicians, Wall Street, and even Hollywood. These vested interests invaded Washington, making Washington more and more disconnected from the bottom of American society, and the bottom of society has no hope of turning over.
Although Trump is an elite class, he represents the bottom of the American society and wants to create jobs for the American people. That's why he has to deal with illegal immigrants and Chinese manufacturing. While Hillary and Biden are both old politicians, it is impossible for the bottom of American society to support them.
Before the outbreak, the US economic data was very eye-catching, and Trump had a strong ability to act, and his original promises were fulfilled one by one. Coupled with his illness this time, he inspired American patriotism, which should be of great help to Trump's election. So Wu Jialong believes that Trump "has no problem for reelection."
We cannot just listen to expert analysis and see two facts.
Breitling performance indicators: Trump re-elected
Julian Emanuel, chief strategist for stocks and derivatives at BTIG, has studied stock market data in election years for nearly a century. Since 1928, as long as the S&P 500 index shows an upward trend in the three months before the election, the ruling party's probability of winning the election is as high as 90%.
The financial website MarketWatch quoted Emmanuel’s analysis, “because stock market rises are often a recognition of the policies of the incumbent president, showing that the investing public is satisfied”.
Emmanuel gave, for example, that in 1928, Republican President Calvin Coolidge chose to retire, but the stock market rose from August to November that year, and then Republican Herbert Hoover entered the White House. However, the Great Depression in 1929 brought down US stocks, including the three months before the election from August to November 1932. As a result, Hoover was defeated and the Democratic Party (Franklin D. Roosevelt) was elected.
Emmanuel pointed out that from 1928 to the present, there have been six times when the S&P 500 fell in the three months before the election. The two parties accounted for three times each, all of which were lost by the party of the current president.
On the Republican side, in addition to Hoover’s defeat in 1932, Nixon lost to Kennedy of the Democratic Party when Dwight Eisenhower took office in 1960; in 2008, George W. Bush was in power, and McCann of the Republican Party (John McCain lost to Barack Obama of the Democratic Party).
On the Democratic side, in 1952, Harry Truman decided to retire. Adlai Stevenson lost to Eisenhower; in 2000, the current Vice President Al Gore lost to Bush Jr.; Hillary lost in 2016 to Trump.
Three months before election day this year, the S&P 500 index reported 3271 points. But now it has climbed to 3,500 points, an increase of about 7%.
Regarding the current poll data, Emmanuel remained unmoved, thinking that the forecast results of the US stock market three months before the election "will still be fulfilled."
Although the CCP virus epidemic has disrupted (the election campaign) this year, he pointed out that this indicator has also been tested in a severe period. Including the Great Depression, World War II, the Korean War, and even a series of political assassinations, riots, and the Vietnam War in 1968, they could stand the test. He insisted that polling agencies and leftist media "underestimated the possibility of Trump winning in the re-election."
Yiwu Index is optimistic about Trump
Emmanuel studied the stock market for a century and believed that Trump might be re-elected. However, Yiwu, Zhejiang, once again placed the bet on Trump based on the status of commodity orders.
In the 2016 general election, when almost the world believed that Hillary Clinton might win the election, small businesses in Yiwu determined that Trump had a higher chance of winning based on the status of commodity orders.
Yiwu is "the world's largest small commodity wholesale market", and almost all products demanded by overseas markets can be found here. The local Yiwu index is also regularly released to reflect the activity of small commodity prices and market prosperity.
Before November this year, local merchants stated that they had rejected orders for the production of the five-star flag because the profit margins for producing peripheral products for Trump supporters were greater. The merchant said, "Whoever puts forward the best terms, I will take the order."
In business, of course profit is important, regardless of who is elected. In other words, these small businesses in foreign countries have natural objectivity in their predictions. In other words, this is likely to truly reflect the degree of support the American people have for the candidates of the two parties.
I watched the video of Trump and Biden's campaign rally, and my impressions were quite different. There were not many people at Biden's rally in Florida, and there was no warm feeling at the scene. However, there were so many people at Trump's rally in different places. It can't be described as a sea of people. The rally site became a red ocean.
In Yiwu International Trade City, there is a small shop less than 5 square meters. The owner Li Qingxiang puts his bet on Trump. She told Lianhe Zaobao that since the end of last year, her factory had produced more than 100,000 flags supporting Trump, while Biden's flags were only a few thousand.
She said that the result is no suspense, "Orders can't go wrong."

"New York Post" article was blocked by Facebook and Twitter
At 14 October night, Trump tweeted, "It's so terrible! So much so that Facebook and Twitter removed the New York Post report about dozing Joe Biden and his son Hunter's smoking gun (criminal evidence) email report. For them, it was just The beginning. There is nothing worse than a corrupt politician."
However, shortly after Trump tweeted, the Twitter boss had come out and admitted that he should not block the New York Post's report on the Biden scandal. We will leave this content to the details later.
When Trump referred to the "smoking guns" of Biden and his son, he made a special explanation, pointing out that it was "criminal evidence." What crime evidence? It is the data in the computer hard drive.
According to Giuliani, Trump's personal lawyer who holds the data on the hard drive, the private photos of Hunter published by the New York Post are just drizzle, at best the tip of a huge iceberg. There are also at least thousands of photos and 12 minutes of obscene videos, as well as a large number of emails. The e-mail contained the content of Hunter and the Ukrainian company colluding to make money.
This also included Biden's pressure on Ukrainian government officials to fire Viktor Shokin, a prosecutor investigating the Ukrainian Brisma scandal.
Fox News reported on 14 October that Ron Johnson, Chairman of the US Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs, confirmed that the committee had contacted the person who provided the email, the owner of a computer repair shop in Delaware. And is verifying this information.
This incident is undoubtedly a depth bomb for Biden. At the key point of the general election, when these scandals suddenly broke out, people will not doubt that the election campaign for Biden will be a heavy blow, and the election will definitely be affected.

Facebook and Twitter blocked the Biden scandal and got into trouble?
The New York Post obtained relevant information about the Biden family scandal from Giuliani, and then reported the incident under the heading "Biden Secret Email", pointing out that the Biden family had illegal activities.
However, the news published by the New York Post on Facebook and Twitter was quickly blocked by these two social media. When a Twitter user links to a motor article, a warning will pop up, saying that the content "may be spam or unsafe". The reason for this, Twitter stated that those posts violated the platform's rules, so they are "decreasing" their distribution on the platform.
Facebook spokesperson Andy Stone said on Twitter, "This incident requires a third-party Facebook fact check." After that, there seemed to be no more news. As of our publication, there is not any update on Facebook.
But at 14 October night, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey came forward to apologize. Dorsey said it was "unacceptable" for them to prevent users from sharing emails about the Biden scandal. But he did not explain the reason for this action.
Although Dorsey apologized, it did not stop people's criticism. In addition to Trump, many Republican lawmakers have also spoken out, criticizing the practices of Twitter and Facebook.
Giuliani said that the news reported by the "New York Post" proved that Biden and his son were engaged in corrupt transactions in Ukraine. The former New York mayor condemned both Facebook and Twitter's actions, saying that the investigation against Biden "may be the highest level of scandal in this century."
Senator Josh Hawley also criticized Facebook and Twitter for preventing users from sharing articles from the New York Post on the platform as unacceptable. He sent separate letters to the two companies, requesting a receipt of why the platform "reviewed" these stories.
In a letter to Facebook, Holly stated, "This public intervention appears to be selective, which shows that Facebook has partiality. "You have worked hard to suppress the publication of content that exposes the potential unethical behavior of the presidential candidate and raised some other questions. I hope to get an immediate response to this."
Holly explained that Twitter and Facebook actively suppressed public opinion on this New York Post article, which, under federal law, seemed to constitute a contribution (for the Biden campaign). If the information disclosed in the New York Post article is true, it will link the former vice president (Biden) to the corrupt Ukrainian oligarch. This kind of censorship (of Facebook and Twitter) "will obviously affect the presidential election."
Holly tweeted "Actually, this is a joke. This is a total insult. I will ask you and Facebook to explain to the Senate Subcommittee I chairman under oath. These are potentially illegal election laws. Behaviour- wise, this constitutes a crime".
Are Facebook and Twitter getting into trouble? Of course they asked for it. As a media and social platform, everyone cannot be treated fairly. They are troublesome. It can also be seen from this point how tense the US election is.

Barron Trump once diagnosed, 2 people in Biden's campaign diagnosed positive
In fact, this year's US presidential election is tense. One of the key factors is the attitudes of Trump and Biden towards the CCP. To be bigger, it is the attitude of the Republicans and Democrats towards the CCP. If Biden is elected, the United States will basically be controlled by the CCP.
Giuliani estimates that the CCP has probably already grasped the information on that computer. If it is like the situation estimated by Giuliani, then if Biden enters the White House, he is a puppet of the CCP. The CCP pulls strings behind the scenes to guide Biden's every move.
If Trump is elected, I believe no one will doubt his attitude towards the CCP. There is one detail that must be said. We all know that Trump and the first lady Melania Trump were infected with the CCP virus not long ago, and Trump quickly recovered miraculously.
Yesterday (14 October), the first lady who has been undergoing isolation treatment in the White House residence said that her test result has been negative and hopes to resume her duties as the first lady as soon as possible.
Melania also revealed that President Trump's youngest son, 14-year-old Barron, had also been diagnosed with the CCP virus but there were no symptoms, and Barron's test became negative.
In other words, all three Trump’s family members were infected by SARS-CoV-2 (CCP virus). So think about it, everyone, will this grievance easily disappear? Therefore, many people believe that if Trump is re-elected, the blow to the CCP in the next term will definitely become more severe.
In fact, the Democratic Party is the same. Today the Biden campaign team announced that Senator Harris had cancelled all campaign trips before this weekend "out of cautious consideration." The reason was that a crew member and Liz Allen, her communications director, tested positive for the CCP virus.
Biden's campaign team stated that Harris had tested negative for the virus twice in the past week, the most recent on 14 October but it was learned that night that a crew member and Allen were diagnosed.
Biden’s campaign manager, Jen O’Malley Dillon, confirmed in a statement that two infected persons had been in the same plane with Harris on 8 October. Although they are all wearing masks, they canceled their trip until 18 October for caution.
The purpose of talking about this is to explain that even if Biden wins the election, he is likely to be just as tough on the CCP.
