In your opinion from the inside, what is the general feeling towards Trump and do you think he'll get in again?
Without getting too deep ;-)
1) Personally, I despise him and most of his family. They are crooks, fraudsters and grifters who represent the worst of what America can be. The epitome of the Ugly American.
2) You're either full on Trump or you despise him. No middle ground at this point.
3) This Election Day is going to be VERY tense. There will be many, many polling places that will be very very intimidating, because there will be openly armed civilians milling around looking for “trouble.” I would not be surprised if there was a mass killing somewhere.
4) As always, it will come down to so called swing states that are a virtual toss up and rely on turnout. In a country of 330,000,000 people, the Presidential Election can come down to 10,000 votes or less in a handful of states! Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, Nevada, Michigan, Georgia…
5) Personally, I don’t think he has nearly the support he did first time, because I think many centrist Republicans voted to take a look and didn’t like what they saw. Today, there are some issues clouding the debate. Abortion has been a nightmare for Republicans because they’ve got their wishes and then they’ve lost every race since then on the issue. Women vote!!! Immigration & Gaza have been similar sticks with which to beat Democrats, as “Uncommitted” showed in Arab dense Dearborn, Michigan and elsewhere in the state.
6) I would vote for an AI-generated bot before I’d vote for Trump. Others feel very differently and wonder how anyone could vote for Biden when “virile 77 yr old Trump will kick the worlds ass and MAGA?!” What can you say to THAT person?
7) If Trump is elected, NATO is done and it’ll have to live without America, and Ukraine will become a Russian annex again! And, if you think Biden’s weak on Israel, just wait until Trump starts sucking Bebe’s knob! I expect global bases will close and the U.S. will become insular and nationalistic. Tariffs will be imposed again and prices will rise again, but Trump will lower taxes to “put more money in peoples pockets” and dismantle large swaths of government to help fund it. The people who LIVE off govt assistance are his base, but he doesn’t have to run again and the people with the REAL money love not paying their share of taxes! The Southern border will close and the use of political asylum will effectively be shutdown.
8) Trump is dumb. As in, he knows a little about what he knows, but he is aggressively unworldly and thinks he knows better than anyone else about anything under discussion. And, he’s happy to say it out loud, because he thinks as President he can say and do anything he wants! Literally!
9) So, will he win? Too early to tell! Normally, we are in the middle of Nominating Season right now, but that’s essentially over already! Biden hasn’t started running yet and Trump’s funds appear to be in much worse shape this time around than in previous campaigns. Messaging is going to be brutal, because there’s almost no middle ground here, even though that’s where the key votes are.
Biden - too old & decrepit, and has presided over inflation and prices bring too high…even though there’s not a damned thing he could personally go about that as the Federal Reserve is independent and controls interest rates do one party doesn’t bankrupt the country for political reasons!
Trump - almost as old & lost more than a step in his verbal and cognitive abilities, too! What he lacks in substance he tries to compensate for in bluster and blagging. He was the President that saw inflation rear its ugly head, but wasn’t around to have to fix it! He’s great at what Republicans are great at (and Labour, too, in England!) pointing out problems they think need fixing but having no clue how to fix them!
10) No, I don’t think he will get in again, but I’m not sure Biden will be his opponent in November, either! Fingers crossed on both!
