Trump got a new record number of votes, Haley got over 70% of her votes from non registered republicans(Rumoured to be lefty students.)
Uh-huh? 'Rumoured' by whom?

No one does front pages like the TNE
If the labelling of his voters pushes more people in his direction, does this stuff too?

I can't help but wonder if all the hysteria pushes people into or further into the cult of Trump.

@Crawley Dingo what do you think when you see front pages like this?

The one sliver of hope I cling to on the Ukraine situation if Trump does win is that the American arms manufacturing industry will be keen to keep having their wares “tested” against Russian gear, and they hold a lot of sway over Washington when it comes to the green stuff

If I was in the US I would definitely vote trump over Biden.

But besides that I'm not sure why people on this board or Europeans are so bothered by trump being president.

Like this country both parties in the states are as bad as each other. At least trump is entertaining. Also, unless I'm wrong hardly any major conflicts seemed to kick off on his watch last time around, since Biden got into power there seems to be a different issue every week, the guy is a joke.

Out of interest, why?
Because he's not Biden. Tbh I just wouldn't vote.

Number 1)The Dems insist on divisive identity politics, which I hate.

The fear mongering is back as well. Aside from saying a bunch of mean things and having all of his decisions shut down by activist federal judges, the only substantial thing trump did was use his power to put conservatives within the judiciary.

Biden was supposed to be the new hope and what did we get. Something close to a world war with Russia and now the Palestine / Israel mess.

So - not 'definitely vote Trump' then - but not voting at all...!

Not too sure how Biden has created the Ukraine invasion or the Palestine / Israel situation. In your view - what would Trump have done differently that would have prevented either of these?

Where did you get this idea? I thought that right from the start Biden's only real virtue was that he was a safe pair of hands . . . and not Trump.

But that's exactly my point. Despite all the doomsday commentary on trump, the world feels a hell of a lot more uncertain and unsafe since sleepy Joe got in. This may just be coincidence or maybe there's something in it......

Can people please stop voting for leaders based on entertainment and start doing so based on ability?

As for the “no wars under Trump” bit, is Biden responsible for Russia and Hamas now? Only they started the two major conflicts currently kicking off.

You SERIOUSLY think it's possible that the world was more 'certain and safe' before Biden, purely because of Donald Trump? That he has THAT much influence over the world's dictators?

Fack me!

To suggest voting on the entertainment value of an abusive, narcissistic demagogue who frankly is a consummate bull in a china shop when it comes to world diplomacy would be farcical if it wasn’t blindingly irresponsible .

… Despite all the doomsday commentary on trump, the world feels a hell of a lot more uncertain and unsafe since sleepy Joe got in. This may just be coincidence or maybe there's something in it......

Suffice to say, read the background stories to the news or read back on the thread a little … conflicts don’t happen in a vacuum and they certainly don’t spring up over night, they are often years in the planning and conditions for conflict happen months if not years and years before the actual outbreak of actual hostilities …

Just for example points below; posted earlier in thread (quote edited): See especially my note on UKRAINE:

Trump ripped up the Nuclear Arms Deal with Iran in cohorts with Netanyahu in 2018 - that is exactly why now we could end up in direct confrontation with Iran in the near future.

Trump signed the Doha Agreement in 2020 with the Taliban to withdraw all American troops from Afghanistan in such a way, it put lives at risk unless they were subsequently withdrawn en masse by May 2021 - that chaotic withdrawal ended up undermining the Afghan Government paving the way for the Taliban to make a violent take over. Afghanistan is once again a safe haven for terrorists.

Trump took America, the World’s largest producer of fossil fuels, out of the Paris Agreement- and will likely reverse any climate change policies that Biden has made. Unless America is on board with addressing CC there is not much hope for any of us.

Trump‘s thirst for individual power had him cosying up to any dictator that would support his election bid and Presidency

Trump signalled to Putin that Ukraine was low on Trump’s list of priorities when Trump withheld arms to Ukraine on the basis of getting ‘dirt on Hunter Biden’ -
Trump sacked his ambassador because she was undermining Trump’s efforts to pressure Zelenskyy into providing something he could use against Joe Biden. Trump will likely sell Ukraine down the river as quid pro quo in a deal with Putin to cool relations with China.
As for why people on this board are so bothered; why the rest of the World (other than Russia, Israel or North Korea) are so bothered if Trump gets back into the WH; Because the ‘leader of the free world’ affects the whole world … that’s why. Civil unrest and the undermining of liberal democracy in America (that has gone hand and hand with Trump’s first term in the WH) would send a political shockwave throughout all Western Democracies if he got elected (or even barred from running) - And this Election does effect you personally because we are living in a globalised world where militarily, economically and environmentally, the foreign policy of the US is not just intertwined with that of her allies but largely influences the direction it takes too. The next POTUS could determine whether we stay at 90 seconds, or move even closer than we already are, to midnight on the Doomsday Clock.
