[Politics] Donald Trump, US President Elect 2025

[bhafc99]

I’m really surprised Biden hasn’t announced he’s incredibly proud of what’s he achieved etc etc, but now it’s time to hand the reins to the next generation blah blah.

He’s been the safe pair of hands and sensible ‘adult in the room’ America so desperately needed after the Trump carnage, but - honestly - does anyone realistically think he’ll still be suited to being President 5 years from now?

I think it’s called an ignoramus.

It's the unintelligent ignoramus Trumpsters that would call the legally elected Vice President of the US that.

Agreed - I always assumed from the start that the plan was for him to be a one term President.

Perhaps it was, but then they realised Harris was unsuited/not ready for the step up?

Biden is now just a puppet for those pulling the strings. He’ll be briefed what to say and do, and excuses will be made when he fluffs his lines, but there will, hopefully, be safe hands behind him. Trump on the other hand actually thinks it’s him who’ll call the shots, won’t take advice as he knows better, when in fact he’s woefully inadequate and a compulsive narcissistic liar. He’ll still have people voting for him in their hordes though. God bless America.

I disagree with your characterisation of president Biden, I think he's setting the agenda of his administration far more than you give him credit for. I think there are certain policies that he personally champions and wants to see progress on. But he's also a leader of a democracy - he should be allowing others in the administration to run their departments, etc. For example, he probably was "briefed what to say and do" when he has been at infrastructure project openings. Would you reasonably expect him to know the ins and outs of how his infrastructure bill money is being spent? I would say no, but it was his administration which got that bill passed and it was his priority during his campaign. The difference between the Presidencies of Biden and Trump is that Biden doesn't have to be front and centre, he doesn't think he is the policy and the administration is actually empowered to do their jobs without him looming over them.

The characterisation of Trump feels spot on and generously kind to me!

Very accurate.

They never thought Trump would come back for a second bite at the cherry. As long as it's vs Trump....It'll be Biden.

I also agree completely with this. Biden is not only not Trump and has beaten and is the most likely candidate to beat Trump again, he's also transformed the economic agenda in the west far more than any other politician has in the 21C, especially via his attack on 'trickle-down economics' and preference for expanding the economy 'from the bottom up, and the middle out'. That's not just rhetoric, however, but is a simple enough way of framing things, which is fleshed out by the likes of the Inflation Reduction Act, etc.

Does everybody know this person by their picture?

I doubt 'everybody' knows who that person is, but I do, if that helps?

So aliens on UFOs changed the votes because they were against Trump. When even aliens know how bad a president is you know a president is extremely bad.

Yes but It's a political ignominy to the US Green Party that they switched their normal colour to join the Blues.

A rare glimpse at a meeting of the finest minds in the MAGA Republican party.

4 charges related to January 6th. Ha ha ha ha ha!

Annoyingly his base and related knuckle daggers will double down on their Farage style ' liberal elite conspiracy' argument.

It keeps getting harder and harder to support Trump, but, they still do ! Quite incredible that so many still can't see him for what he really is.

knuckle daggers

Those were the knives used in trench warfare during WWI.

Many Americans were slave owners before the US Civil War until they were forced into submission. Many feel it will take another Civil War before the issue of Republicanism is solved in the US.

It was the Democrats who owned all the slaves. The Republicans were in the north and were against slavery. That is what the Civil War was all about.
