Donald Trump

If anybody wanted proof that narcissists don’t do irony…

Trump is desperate for Hayley to drop out as it plays into his political persecution narrative and he has some terrible days in court coming down the tracks.

If I was a never Trump Republican I'd be desperate for her to keep going as the New Hampshire result was pretty good and with the civil fraud trial soon to reach verdict the gap could close. She's a long way of being in a place to win but putting up a good fight and being a credible alternative would put her in a good position if Trump gets locked up at some point before November.

Trump and team know this. They dont want any credible alternative. They want a Trump or civil war mind set to ramp up the pressure in court.

I've seen various commentators suggest she will pull out soon. I don't see why she would but then there will be plenty going on behind the scenes. She's not going to serve in a Trump government so what's in it for her.

And for me, the number one reason why he doesn’t have a cat in hell’s chance to win in November.

I hope you are right - and you may well be - but I am far from convinced. I had not realised just how unpopular Biden has become amongst the less well off. Whilst the Dow Jones continues to soar and the well-healed are doing quite nicely, just like the UK, millions are really struggling with high energy costs and inflation and the incumbent is blamed for all of it. There's also the unappealing prospect of re-electing someone who looks like he's well past his sell by date. He wiil be 82 years old, only days after the election, and goodness knows how much less able he would be 4 years after that.

The Dem's will have to push this message harder than the Republicans spin it. If they don't it will just get lost in the noise.

They’ve not even remotely started campaigning yet. I can’t believe the odds I’m buying up.

They got the highest growth and lowest inflation of the G7, much of it down to Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act.

Sadly, the least well informed are often the poorest in society and voting for Trump would most certainly be against their best interests. But he makes it ok to hate immigrants and brown people and so they happily lap it up.

Another reason Brexit was a shit idea.

In sure the usuals would be frothing at the mouth if the treasury decided to move from Dollars to Euros as a consequence of the US voting in a fascist.

Countries are seriously rethinking their relationship with the US should it occur.

Lets not forget that Haley has stated that she would pardon Trump.

Now more than ever we need a united Europe, we have been to complacent and relied on the yanks for too long.

Her best path to winning is becoming the default next option if Trump is jailed and ineligible as an insurrectionist.

So yeah she will have to keep saying that and other things she won't believe in to keep on that path.

What she does in office may be different.

All Biden has to do is use Trumps own words.

IF she takes office I can see a reset. She'll be a traditional GOP president.

Lowering Taxes of her mates and finding an excuse to bomb Iran rather than the proxy of Yemen.

Standard presidency.
