My latest analysis of the incredible last 72 hours in American politics.

Very insightful article about what Trump would do in a second term. The "lack of imagination" that the general public seems to have in that regard is what I find most disturbing. Yes, Trump was unsuccessful in his coup attempt the first time. But have people considered what COULD have happened that day? What would have happened if Pence had not stood firm holding fast to Constitutional law? Where would we be today? Our Democracy could well have fallen. In that moment and that time, our democracy was in the hands of one person. I'm certainly not a fan the politics of Mike Pence. However, He didn't waver on that day and the fact that our government did not fall on that day, is in large part due to his resolve and belief in our form of government. We must never forget that his life and perhaps the lives of family members were in danger. The thought that our entire government and Constitution rested on the shoulders of one person who was under extreme duress and physical danger should leave us all gasping for breath. Instead we think "Wow! That was scary!" and then we move on as if peaceful resolution was the only possible outcome. "This is the USA! Our democracy can't fail!" Uh...yes it can. My final point is that one of the biggest issues a second term for Trump creates is that his first term taught him how to purge the "adults in the room". They were the only thing holding him to the constraints of the law. In a second term, they will not be there to stop future coup attempts. All we need to do is recognize that they were the Elmer's glue holding together a tattered government. Once freed from the constraints the "adults" created, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out where Trump will take this.

We therefore believe the most likely outcome of the election is either a red sweep, where Republicans win the presidency and control both chambers of Congress, or a split government, where Democrats win the presidency and the lower chamber of Congress

It’s been a pivotal month in US politics, with plenty of action since that infamous June debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Biden has stepped aside and current Vice President Kamala Harris is all but assured as the Democratic nominee. How might this impact the likely outcome, and what should investors be thinking about as we head toward November? Listen here for my thoughts on all of this, including who will come out on top.

Who will win the upcoming presidential election? How will the election move the market? The below is one opinion and this forecast seems clear, but how will your individual investments preform?

This is the third in a series of posts where I look at the states that were won by Donald Trump in 2016 but then flipped away from him in 2020. It examines some of the factors that made these states go from red to blue, compares the 2020 presidential contest alongside other recent elections (with some caveats), and discusses what could happen in 2024. The first post looked at Arizona, and the second looked at Georgia. Today looks at Michigan. Michigan's recent presidential election history differs greatly from Arizona and Georgia. While those two states had been mostly Republican, Michigan had been reliably Democratic, voting as such from 1992 to 2012. Can Trump repeat his 2016 feat in the state for 2024? Can recent governor, U.S. Senate, and state legislative elections also give us some clue about 2024? Read on.

The US Presidential debate is an eye opener for those who follow the US political scenario. It presented a mellowed down Donald Trump vs a seriously confused President Joe Biden. President Biden found himself for lack of words on several instances; so much so that this was almost like a walkover for Trump. While the majority of the debate revolved around allegations & counter allegations that hardly had any positive intent; the biggest eye opener about the debate is the lack of any leadership from the Democrats. A country like the USA which tried on several instances to dictate what the world needs to do; finds itself in crossroads with lack of people to to lead itself. #USPresident #USPresidentialDebate #JoeBiden #DonaldTrump https://lnkd.in/gnHdhfjK

Today Nikki Haley will likely drop out of the race to be the Republican Party flagbearer in the next US election. As she polishes her exit speech, Donald Trump will switch his focus more forcibly to attack the incumbent in the Oval Office and prepare for his official coronation in mid July as his party's presidential nominee. DJT: POTUS 47 loading? Based on current polls, an improbable and pundit-upturning candidate, will reacquaint himself with the White House grounds at the end of 2nd week of January 2025. How is your organization, if at all, understanding and factoring the potential outcomes of the US election and geopolitical developments more generally in its strategic approach and resource allocations?
