He's a con man.

He believes he has the power of persuasion. Conning banks, conning contractors, conning everything.

His mental health is entwined into his beliefs, so it's hard to say whether he believes his bollocks or not.

You seem to be talking more sense now Trumps heading towards defeat.

Sounds charming!
I asked an American colleague this morning whether he wanted to claim Pennsylvania because everybody else was and got the reply "No, I absolutely do not. I've driven through Pennsylvania and it's a shithole."
Seemed a bit harsh.

Pennsylvania is actually very nice. Where I live I can be in Philly, New York, Baltimore or DC in less than 3 hours and I can be in Pittsburgh in less than 4. The history in Philly alone makes us a great state and (hopefully) when Biden wins and we come up with an actual strategy to deal with Covid I'll get to go back. Pittsburgh is the first "midwestern" city going west IMO. It has the friendliest people and somehow feels like a small town. Pennsyltucky is a little off putting but there are some nice spots with reasonable people as long as you stay away from the redneck areas.

Ha! Yeah Philly is an interesting place. You either love it or hate it.

I like Pennsyvania but can definitely understand shithole comment though. To give it some perspective - the two cities (Philly and Pittsburgh) are industrialized, blue-collar, working class cities. Both have relatively high levels of crime although they've really turned a corner.

The rest of the state is very rural or what was once coal country. We always called it "Pennsyltucky" and it was meant pretty derogatory. The American version of the office, for example, takes place in Scranton, Pennsyvlania (actually where Biden was born ironically) to add some context.

edit: oh! and driving through it is awful. I would not wish a trip on the PA turnpike on my greatest enemy
 
I am going to have stop going along with the arse slapping in here if we are going to talk about how great Philadelphia is lol

Do they have roadsigns to tell you when you enter a Redneck Area?
 
They're saying Dumb Donald will be speaking at 6:30 EST. My guess is he's not going to telling the proud boys to stand by.

Also, PA is now down to 78,314 so Biden has gained another 12,000 votes.

An American equivalent of Slough doesn't sound like a recommendation, that's for certain.

We have a Turnpike Lane nearby. I'm not sure most people know what a turnpike is, except for it being connected to John Malkovich's head.
