"Trump is the leader of the..."

"Of the free world; isn't that what the US president is normally referred to?"

"Yes, but Trump is unique and need I add very divisive within his country, he tweeted to states that have Democrat governors notably New York, Virginia and Minnesota to liberate themselves from social distancing and..."

"Well, Trump's over arching objective is to win the November elections and to succeed he has to ensure that his base continues to support him and his base wants the economy reopened and all those dratted Democrat states turn red - Republican."

"OK, so Trump is in an election year, what about other world leaders who are not facing an election and yet taking political decisions that are divisive and..."

"I hope you are not referring to The Khan. Didn't you hear Asad Umar say that all decisions are being taken through consensus in which the chief ministers of all provinces are present and that he was amazed half an hour after a consensus was reached the Sindh government publicly came up with a statement that was not part of the consensus which incidentally prompted The Khan to urge the opposition not to play politics with the Coronavirus. A stance that I fully and need I add unreservedly support!"

"As do we all but the Sindh Chief Minister has requested Asad Umar to give an example of where the provincial government deviated from the consensus and so far nothing!"

"Oh, so it's PPP's word against the PTI's word?"

"Indeed, and while the PTI can accuse the PPP leadership of corruption, by referring to NAB cases and the PPP leaders defend themselves by lamenting the nexus between the federal government and NAB but I don't think telling untruths is the natural outcome of corruption and..."

"In a court of law the defendant's lawyers do present some untruths..."

"Which can be unearthed by a good prosecution, OK so our prosecution remains very weak...and this is almost eighteen months after Farogh Naseem was made the Law Minister..."

"Right, but setting up a tiger force in Sindh, a proposal shot down by the PPP government should have been expected!"

"Is that a tit for the tat that compelled The Khan to change the Benazir Income Support programme to Kifalat Programme? And I bet you anything if the PPP ever comes back to power it would change the name back to..."

"Ah, but the party never would, isn't that the PTI mantra."

"As it was the mantra of all those in power in the past in the country. Musharraf of all people still reckons he has a chance to..."

"Indeed, that's the nice thing about a political mantra - the party in power and most importantly the party head begins to believe it."
