Quick Reaction to #presidentialelection2024 Trump was as Trump is - boastful, exaggerating, falsifying events, lying and vengeful. Fact checked that he lied 26 times! Biden was worse than I feared, ageing process has caught up with him - weak, bumbling, sometimes hard to understand what he was saying, at times incoherent, few times lost his train of thought and crucially found it difficult to rebutt Trump’s numerous lies. He tried hard at times to deal with Trump’s lies etc and had a lot of facts at his fingertips but he just failed to deliver effectively and cut through. Democrats party decision makers and especially his wife need to think hard whether he should call it a day. I accept there is no easy way forward. Really is a big judgement call. Essentially is Biden mentally and physically strong enough to last the rigorous demands of another 6 months of campaigning. Plus there is scheduled another debate in September, unless Biden says no. Bottom line, given how he looked and performed last night, will the voters think he can stop Trump and if they do can he even last another 4 years as President. Reckon I know the answer to that last bit.

"""THE SUSTENANCE OF THE FOOLİSH WHO ARE BEİNG MESMERİZED BY THE MEDİA and BİDEN-TRUMP DEBATE."" ------>>There are two groups for Trump. 1- Trump's enemies 2- Democrats The democrats who were defeated by Biden actually wanted to put two situations in front of the voters... 1- If we push Biden away, don't condemn us. 2- If we don't push Biden (weak) away, Trump is coming. Two things they will have to do... 1- Shackling Trump both with the media and with the courts, 2- A strong democratic candidate to replace Biden as a rival to Trump.

Bloodbath threats, last election announcements, blunt lies, hate speech, mocking of justice and democracy: the full arsenal of populists, autocrats and dictators was on display in this recent Trump speech.🤨 It shows once more what is at stake in this super election year! Wherever you are use your vote and stand up to defend freedom and democracy at all levels! https://lnkd.in/eAKZERhq

TRUMP TRIAL UPDATE From Team Scalise: When Corrupt Jack Smith found out he couldn’t fast-track a sham trial before the election, he immediately hatched a backup plan to end President Trump’s campaign.  So, with the help of the highly partisan judge, he unsealed and released 160 pages of anti-Trump propaganda – 30 DAYS OUT from the election, no less – as a last-minute attempt to help Kamala Harris win.  There were no jury deliberations. No new revelations. And, no cross-examination by Trump’s legal team.  It was a trial by paper to interfere in the election. Jack Smith isn’t in pursuit of justice or the truth. It’s all part of his master plan to: 1) hurt President Trump’s reelection prospects, 2) help promote Kamala Harris to the presidency, and 3) destroy the MAGA movement once and for all. Pure lawfare.

I now believe that all of the "drama" about Biden's fitness to run is a brilliant, staged strategy of the democrats to keep the spotlight off Trump. I believe that they will keep the pressure/focus on Biden until he is "forced" to retire gracefully. I believe that this will happen in the next week or so to give the "fresh blood" time to introduce themselves to America before the DNC Convention. I believe that when this happens, the press will spend from now until November praising the demos for listening to the overwhelming majority of Americans who have shouted "we don't want another Biden vs. Trump election." I believe that if this happens, Americans will be mesmerized by what the Demos are doing and not interested in Trump. If the demos play it right, they can dominate the news cycle up to the election. Finally, I believe that if the demos choose a proven moderate (not Newsom or Whitmire) Trump will lose badly, but the GOP will take control of the Senate and keep control of the House. Time will tell if I am right. You can read this for free. https://lnkd.in/gngRx_Fy

🇺🇸🗳️🇺🇸🗳️🇺🇸 ❌ Biden has to go before he forgets he is president. In recent times, there has been mounting concern over the fitness of President Joe Biden to lead the nation effectively. These concerns stem primarily from his apparent memory problems, which have become increasingly evident. Firstly, the issue of President Biden's memory problems cannot be ignored. From forgetting crucial details during press conferences to struggling to articulate his thoughts, there are legitimate concerns about his ability to fulfill the duties of the presidency. The recent special report recommending no charges against President Biden has reignited debates about political bias towards Trump. While the scale and context of these investigations differ, it is essential to acknowledge the need for fairness and impartiality in all matters of justice, irrespective of political affiliation. Moreover, the comparison between Democrats' reactions to the Biden investigation and Trump supporters' responses to investigations against the former president are no different. Naming something bias and trying to discredit it because it’s not the outcome you want is never right. President Biden's press conference to address these concerns only served to underscore the seriousness of the issue. It is evident that his struggles with memory and coherence are not isolated incidents but represent a significant challenge to effective leadership. However, amidst these challenges lies an opportunity for the Democratic Party to course-correct. If they are to maintain their credibility and effectively challenge the opposition, they must be willing to confront uncomfortable truths and prioritise the greater good over individual interests. This moment presents a crucial juncture for American democracy and the Democratic Party. The decision to address President Biden's fitness for office and potentially nominate a more moderate and capable candidate could change the outcome of the election drastically from what looks like a trump win. But will they seize this moment to create an election winning campaign around a sensible candidate or will they double down to protect Biden? #us #uselection #biden #trump #Election

#politics #unitedstates #nobelprize Former President Donald Trump is looking for a running mate and says many are “begging” him to be on his ticket. I never voted for Trump, though I wrote to him directly at The White House as I did to every president since Bill Clinton beginning 1996 after I became a US permanent resident and later a naturalized citizen in 2002, as I later read somewhere George Washington wanted citizens to do: write a letter. Hypothetically, if Trump were to call me and ask me to register Republican and be on his ticket: 1. Of course, I did not beg him to be on the ticket. If this is the tone he wants to take, a tone with which I did not put up even with the Federal Reserve Board or any number of senior executives I worked for in my career in the private sector, on any given day I would clean out my desk and resign. I wanted Tony Fauci of HHS to do the same during COVID. Trump lost in 2020, fair and square, because he mishandled COVID politically. 2. I would still not register with either political party and take my cue from George Washington on partisanship. 3. Obviously, as an immigrant I would not be eligible for the White House because I am not natural born and cannot constitutionally step in for the President, even if it is only temporary. The election, if held today, is a close tie between Biden and Trump within statistical margin of error, and could be a repeat of 2020. Biden, said if he loses, unlike Trump in 2020, he will concede and peacefully transfer power. This is an attaboy for Biden and the Democrats, and makes me, one independent among 50% of the American electorate, want to vote for him again as I did in 2020. Donald Trump has not said anything about what he would do if he were to lose again to Biden in 2024. For Trump to make me want to vote for him, the same litmus test which Biden passed applies to Trump. Is Trump going to peacefully concede the election or call for “bedlam” as he did after 2020?

Insiders from Donald Trump’s campaign report that the former president is once again preparing to challenge election results in the event of a loss. Here are some of the strategies the candidate and his team are considering deploying. • Use the immunity idol he earned during the debates: The tiki-shaped totem gives Trump one chance to save himself from elimination. • Strap a bomb to J.D. Vance’s chest and take the Senate hostage: Legally impermissible, but not among the worst things that Vance would jump at the chance to do. • Pout: The former president is already reportedly practicing a pout so piercing it could sway some electors to his side. • Fake a hamstring pull: This election doesn’t count if it happened while he was injured. Move into White House and claim squatter’s rights: Worth a shot. • Put on a ton of weight: If Kamala Harris sees he’s stress-eating, she might feel bad and give him the job. • Jan. 7 rally: With a different date, no one will ever see it coming. • Ask nicely: There’s a first time for everything. https://lnkd.in/gM3-_ZTe
