People obviously remember what the US was like under Trump, before Biden destroyed it.

I'm an American and losing sleep worrying about that ugly slob getting back to the Whitehouse.

He can’t pardon himself (or anyone else) for State crimes. I think Georgia is the one to watch… 13 criminal charges, including violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act.

Of course, pigs might sprout wings, and the Supreme Court could uphold one or more of the State courts that have declared him ineligible to stand.

Wonder how he is planning on running the country from a prison cell................................

He'll pardon himself.

I don’t need to justify anything that I say on this forum. I live in the States. I will be voting. Will any of you?

Unfortunately not. The American President has a lot of influence in the rest of the world. He isn't just confined to USA., but conflicts with Xi and Putin on the world stage, The safety of the rest of the world has a stake in who is your president.

Recently in Alaska, we spoke to a few Americans about the presidential election. No one we spoke to had a good word to say for Trump
I agree with Merlotgran and Grantanow.
It will depend on how much infiltration the Russians manage

if I lived in the South, they stood for the workers and those standing up for the oppressed
As long as the “oppressed” weren’t black presumably Nanna8 ?

Grandmama Thu 18-Jan-24 18:52:34

Grantanow - exactly what I was just going to write.

Apparently he is making a lot of fuss in the current court case and the judge has stopped telling Trump off. He has realised that Trump is misbehaving in order to get told off which will further inflame his supporters.

Germanshepherdsmum Thu 18-Jan-24 17:38:39

Exactly what he said about Hillary Clinton.

Jess20 Thu 18-Jan-24 17:12:24

It's most worrying that he's said he'd go after opponents and put them in jail. Not democratic at all.

Nannapat1 Thu 18-Jan-24 17:01:48

Nanna8, I insult no one, merely point out that some believe that Trump is 'one of them'. He isn't.

Just to make sure you all know - I AM an American citizen.

Thats nice.

Now can you please tell us how Biden has ruined the USA, and what measures you are using to assess this?

Several of us have provided our facts and figures for the converse, which of them do you dispute, if any?

It will be all the investment Biden'ss brought to the country Siope. No doubt Trump will grab what he can for himself and run the rest into the ground - as always, should he get in.

Mind you ... he has been sent hy God hmm

For whom and to what - slavery?

Siope Thu 18-Jan-24 16:14:27

Artpis I’m not asking you to justify anything. It’s a discussion board, I am inviting you to discuss the issues that have influenced your assertion, and to provide evidence to support your blanket claim. Because otherwise, you could be accused of talking total BS, and I’d hate it if that happened.

Arto1s Thu 18-Jan-24 16:06:25

GreyhairedWarrior I suggest you try reading the Wall
Street Journal for a different perspective.

Shazmo24 Thu 18-Jan-24 16:02:31

Tbh neither should be running!
Biden hasn't really done anything for the economy or speeded up the migrant situation from Mexico AND Trump is just a joke! He incited a insurrection on the Capitol on the 6th Jan 2021 and is so full of conspiracy theories he's a laughing stock. I cannor still believe that so many Republicans think he's great

Siope Thu 18-Jan-24 15:50:46

Maizie you’re right, but I think maybe persuading the wavering or undecided is worth the effort.
