United States President Donald Trump has made many stupid remarks in his daily campaign events on TV, writes Barry Sheppard.聽But suggesting that injecting or ingesting 鈥渄isinfectants鈥 could be used to combat the virus has created criticism even within his own party.

The COVID-19 pandemic is having a marked impact on the 2020 election campaign in the United States, writes Barry Sheppard.
Barry Sheppard reports on the horrific spread of the pandemic in the United States and the widening chasm in international cooperation.
Barry Sheppard writes that, in another indication of the abject failure of the Donald Trump administration, there is no national plan to confront the pandemic, or even to collect true information.
The United States' healthcare system was already woefully unprepared for the COVID-19 epidemic. Barry Sheppard writes President Donald Trump's flippant attitude has not helped the country deal with the mounting crisis.
The coronavirus pandemic has hit the United States hard in the past few weeks. Of reported cases globally so far, the US 鈥 with 5% of the world鈥檚 population 鈥 now has 12% of cases and rising, reports Barry Sheppard.
The COVID-19 pandemic is already having an impact on the Democratic Party primaries in the United States. The Ohio primary was cancelled on March 17, and others will be cancelled in the coming weeks. When, or if, they will be held is not known.聽Barry Sheppard writes on where the primaries stood as of March 17.
The use of any nuclear weapons would be greatly destabilising and could result in the Doomsday Clock reaching midnight for humanity, writes Barry Sheppard.
Critics of Trump鈥檚 Middle East 鈥淧eace Plan鈥 in the capitalist media claim he has given Israel everything it wants.聽Trump says he is just being realistic, recognising the reality on the ground.
Barry Sheppard explains that聽Trump is right 鈥 he has given Israel nothing it did not already have, except United States official recognition and approval of that reality.
The decision by United States President Donald Trump not to bomb Iran in retaliation for its missile strikes against US military bases in Iraq (themselves retaliation for the assassination of Iranian military commander Qasem Soleimani) has eased fears that the US would launch another war in the Middle East.
By limiting the impeachment charges against US President Donald Trump, the Democratic establishment has left aside the major crimes Trump has committed 鈥 against humanity worldwide as well as the great majority of the US population, writes Barry Sheppard.
The Democratic impeachment inquiry began when a 鈥渨histleblower鈥 revealed that US President Donald Trump had pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to open an investigation of former vice-president Joe Biden and his son Hunter.
Trump suspended military aid to Ukraine and made a White House visit by Zelensky 鈥 which the new Ukrainian president dearly wanted 鈥 conditional on him stating publically that such an investigation was underway.
