Trump will win the presidency

[mattster]

What's truly shocking though it that out of a country that size, it comes down to those two geriatric blokes.

We had a choice of BoJo or Corbyn at our last election. Something has gone badly wrong with politicians and politics in general.

"'I think Joe Biden has a scandal coming up that's going to make him almost an impotent candidate, we found stuff yesterday we gave it to the press' Trump said."

They definitely have something on Biden. He wouldn't be making these claims if there wasn't something big about to drop.

It's important to be aware of repeating a narrative when there's no evidence. As yet: there's no video of this and therefore no evidence.

Also: anybody can create deepfake videos or photographs very easily. It's currently being discussed among your word choice of 'MSM' (ridiculous phrase, only morons use it) how they can have a centralised system for authenticating videos and photographs in this new era. If you are the type of moron - and you are - that would click any old video and trust it immediately, without considering the possibility it's been faked, then that goes to show what a lot of the other dumb people do as well.

Says the person who was utterly convinced before the debate that Biden is so senile he can't string two words together. Did the same people tell you about this laptop thing?

The Real "Hunter" Scandal

Donald Trump, Jr. went to Mongolia, illegally slaughtered a rare and majestic animal, and used his political influence to stay out of prison.

Donald Trump Jr. Went to Mongolia, Got Special Treatment From the Government and Killed an Endangered Sheep — ProPublica

Donald Trump Jr'''s rare sheep hunt '''cost US taxpayers $75,000''' - BBC News

That’s right. Donald Trump, Jr. went to Mongolia in the summer of 2019. A nice quiet place to get away from the Fake News Media. And conveniently sandwiched between Russia and China, making it especially well-located for anyone planning a few secret meetings with oligarchs, spies and the “bankers” to whom your Dad just might owe $421 million in personally guaranteed loans that are coming due soon.


I’m not saying Donny, Jr. met secretly with any Russian agents or Chinese bankers. I’m just saying that he picked the perfect place to do it. Kinda like the time Ivanka went to Croatia with her BFF Wendy Deng in the summer of 2016. (Wendy Deng being the ex-wife of Rupert Murdoch, also an alleged Chinese spy, also a close friend of Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich and also, in 2016, the rumored girlfriend of Mr. V. Putin of Moscow.)


As Propublica first reported, while “vacationing” in Mongolia, Number One Son “slayed a majestic long-horned argali sheep.”


And that was illegal.


To make matters worse, Propublica quoted guides who said Little Donny “shot his argali at night, using a rifle with a laser sight.”


That doesn’t sound like “sport” to me by any definition. It sounds actually quite cowardly and disgusting.


And, like I said, illegal.


Afterward, Trump Jr. met privately with the country’s president, Khaltmaagiin Battulga… It isn’t clear what was discussed… (but) “What are the chances the Mongolian government would’ve done any of that to someone who wasn’t the son of the United States’ president?” asked Kathleen Clark, a professor specializing in legal ethics at Washington University in St. Louis School of Law. She said that though Trump Jr. is not a government employee, he’s nonetheless politically influential, incentivizing foreign officials such as the Mongolian leader to treat him favorably out of a “desire on the part of a foreign government to curry favor with the president’s family.”


About four months before Donald Trump Jr. went to Mongolia in August, where he reportedly managed to get a coveted permit to kill a threatened-species of sheep after he shot and killed the animal, the Mongolian ambassador and foreign minister visited Mar-a-Lago.


According to the report, permits to hunt argali sheep are controlled by “an opaque permitting system that experts say is mostly based on money, connections and politics.” Trump Jr. received the permit on Sept. 2, after he left the region.


So another Trump crime went unpunished. Then, to make matters worse:


U.S. Taxpayers Got a Bill for $77,000


As CREW uncovered in June 2020, the full cost to taxpayers of Little Donny’s jaunt to Mongolia was $60,000 more than was at first revealed—with the added costs all associated with his entirely unofficial detour to meet the Mongolian president.


Because the original figure appeared to be an undercount and did not include any mention of Don Jr.’s stop in Ulaanbaatar, where he met privately with the Mongolian president, or flight costs, CREW appealed the request. The new records show that the full cost of the trip was actually $76,859.36, including the first and second round of receipts provided to CREW.


To sum up: Avid “hunter” Donald Trump, Jr. took a “hunting” trip to Mongolia last year. He didn’t plan it very well, because he didn’t get the permits he needed to kill all the trophy animals he wanted to slaughter. He shot a rare and endangered Argali sheep under cover of night using a coward’s laser-sighted rifle. He used his political connections to avoid punishment for this heinous and depraved crime. And then he sent taxpayers a $77,000 bill to pay for the Secret Service protection he received on this “vacation.”

I honestly think he will even though the polls say Biden.

Indeed, people should go with their gut never-mind all these polls and facts


It is looking pretty bleak for Donald as he appears to be on a post-covid spiral. Publicly attacking Fauci after running a fake ad where the Dr. endorses him, accusing Joe of "he would listen to Fauci", etc.

Maybe he's just going through the motions now. I'm more interested if he is beaten and does accept the result will he:

1. Go down in a twitter-storm of glory and invective over the last few months of the presidency
2. Do a big flounce and go AWOL, spend the last few months on the golf course

[DoctorStrangelove]

Or 3. start WWIII.

It does matter but even if it doesn't matter domestically it matters internationally.

Donald trump is very clearly not a globalist interventionist like his predecessors. Biden as Obama's VP completely destabilized the middle east and north africa and has millions of people's blood on his hand. That administration caused the refugee crisis. Which was one of the factors that tipped the brexit vote, even though no one reports on it because they're too afraid to been seen as racist. British people saw what was happening in germany, Italy, sweden, etc and got rightfully scared.

You can say orange man bad over and over again and sure he says mean words all the time and sure domestically you can pick apart his handling of covid and some other issues. Okay that's all valid.

His foreign policy is untouchable though. He's been an absolute superstar. No new wars, deescalation of existing conflicts, greater cooperation with existing military allies. Brokering peace deals left and right.

Obama killed a million+ and displaced tens of millions of people and got a nobel peace prize because he says nice words. We are at the point where we literally value the spoken (or typed in the case of twitter) word more than we do the lives of millions of people.

Except Trump is trying to start a war with China, whether cold or hot we don't yet know. "China must pay" is a central theme to his message.

And everybody knows that Trump's word is solid gold

If you insult someone publicly, they might be upset. There is growing support to "make China pay" amongst working class Americans.

Wars have started over less.
