Will Trump run again and win? | Donald Trump

The fear and anger to hold on to the U.S. capital under Donald Trump’s presidency has left the country at risk, democracy sick, and immunity weak.

Trump may have been removed from office in November but Trumpism has not yet been eradicated. After months of recovery after the election, it returned to a vengeance, slowly metastasizing the whole body and soul to the nations.

Less than a year after winning the battle for America’s soul, President Joe Biden released the polls as those before him were, on the rise. In fact, according to the arecent poll, Trump is ahead of Biden, albeit with a small margin of 48 to 46 points.

These numbers could flip back in favor of Democrats if they pass new infrastructure like the Deal and conciliation bills in Congress before the end of the year, which would send trillions of dollars to the U.S. economy. .

But even the impact of such legislation may prove to be temporary, dependent on a number of economic and political factors, and on Republican opposition to socialist nanny-state policies at the federal and state levels.

Meanwhile, 14 Republican-controlled states under Trumpian have been influenced by 24 new laws that assert their control over the conduct of the election and make it easier to overturn election results.

Trump continues to reject the final election results and has yet to officially declare his candidacy, but everything he says or does is campaigning. He holds rallies across the country and on Oct. 9, he will have one in the state of Iowa, where all the presidential bids begin.

Back in July, journalist Michael Wolff, who wrote three derogatory books about Trump, graduated after a bizarre and unexpected invitation to the former president’s dinner, whose run in 2024 was a certainty.

But for now, the brand mogul cherishes fueling media speculation and public outrage, which will help heal his bruised ego and keep the donation money flowing. Political Action Committees, the PACs, raised more than $ 82m in the first half of this year.

But what will he run? What will be his message, his mantra?

My guess is he will start by doubling down on his false election claim, and will ask his followers Reverse the Steal to Make America Honest Again.

He has to go along with the big lie until the polls or not really. Anything less angry, less brave, less offensive will not work. Besides, he clearly couldn’t stop it, anyway.

The man, who was called by the US media a liar to the leader who stole credit [] invented history and revolved around conspiracy theories, will do what it takes to win. So much so, he will set out to teach America a lesson in honesty and truth his alternate truth.

Trumps propensity for deception is well illustrated in the author Bob Woodwards trilogy, Fear, Rage, and Peril, the last co-authored with fellow journalist Robert Costa. Of the three books published in the past three years, the veteran Washington Post journalist is very good at showing how even Trump’s closest advisers and allies think he’s an (explosive) liar.

Trumps own personal lawyer, John Dowd thought he was a pathological liar even though he could not be trusted to testify to former Special Adviser Robert Mueller during his investigation into Russia’s interference in the U.S. election without cursing the Himself.

But it doesn’t just lie; politicians are known to lie. The man pictured is rather convincing in the trilogy, is incredibly demonic, utterly incompetent, and extremely dangerous.

Woodward interviewed hundreds of people associated with the Trump administration, top members of his cabinet and his party, as well as Congressional and military leaders. According to him, many of them thought that Trump was, in other words, unworthy to be president of the United States.

They called him mad, paranoid, suffering from a narcissistic personality disorder. His close ally and Attorney General, William Barr scolded him, saying suburban voters think you’re in a ** hole.

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the military, General Mark Milley, thought Trump was so erratic and dangerous in his last month in office, that he could take decisions that could lead, even unintentionally, to confrontations with the likes of China or Iran with the potential use of nuclear weapons.

Trump directs his poison against friends and alike. Over the past few years, he has not hesitated to embarrass Republican leaders, even war heroes, regardless of political implications. Even now, as he plans a re -run for the White House, Trump continues to discredit influential party leaders including his former Vice President Mike Pence, and Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell.

It all begs the question: if Trump is so painful, so incompetent and so dangerous to the country, why did he continue to maintain a tight grip on the Republican party even after leaving office? And, why are Republicans running for Congress in 2022 either seeking his endorsement or trying to escape his hatred? Why is he the most likely to be partys official candidate in 2024?

To be sure, much depends on next year’s midterm elections.

A victory on Nov. 8, 2022, allowing a Republican majority in either or both Houses of Congress, would give Biden a sitting duck president and boost Trump’s chances of coming Nov. 5, 2024.

Think about it, a Republican defeat could also propel Trump to the top of the 2024 list as the most likely savior of the party’s influence against the prominent Biden or against his vice president, the lightweight Kamala Harris.

Trump may be a formidable president but he has proven himself to be a talented populist. His unknown fear was the main source of his influence and the driver behind his popularity, especially among the Republican base. Interestingly, Trump allegedly didn’t know what populist meant when he first started thinking about running for position, like a funny anecdote at the beginning of the first book Woodwards describes.

The fact that Trump received 75 million votes after four disastrous years that included pandemic mismanagement and leading to an economic collapse, and social unrest, and he continues to be popular at the party base, despite the damn media reports, is a testament to his ability to rally support, even in questionable methods.

Paradoxical as it may be, this ostentatious bling-bling billionaire has convinced most of his party base and most of the white working class in the country that he is their best if not their only ally against the snobbish, selfish elite who manages America’s decline.

In fact, he has garnered the support of the majority of white Americans, against the federal bureaucracy or if he calls it, the Deep State, which is accused of attacking their rights, freedoms, culture and, privileges.

Trump overcame the politics of fear and fury as Woodwards ’books show. In the epilogue to Peril, the third book in the trilogy published in September, the author recounts an earlier conversation with Trump, the bombastic and confident outsider as well as the small and ruthless insider, who captures of the prospect of power and eager to use fear to get in his way.

The real power is, I also don’t want to use the word fear, Trump said, and he added, I release anger, I release anger, I always have.

But Woodward is so focused on demonizing Trump that he fails to see or highlight the sarcasm of his influential detractors. He went to a long length of exposing the former president but little is said about the washington elites that enabled him.

But Trumps populism would not be effective if not for the ridicule of his detractors. The ruling elites who pretend to be holier than you, while robbing the country blind; who preaches political correctness but no political virtue; to hold power even if it means leadership in the decline of the US.

In that vein, the Woodwards trilogy generates selectively edited accounts of Trump’s accomplices, who spoke only after Trump fired them, or after Trump was ousted by the American people. They got their word out and allowed about the rest.

When Woodward recounted the various exchanges to Gary Cohn, the former Goldman Sachs manager who became White House-economic adviser, the former president was described as an idiotic protectionist coming from U.S. manufacturing, while laissez-faire , free-trade investment banker is seen as a brilliant person.

But is it really OK, for example, for the US to import a significant amount of antibiotics and other basic drugs from China? Nothing less than pandemic time?

Woodward doesn’t seem to have met a Wall Street executive or an Ivy League school graduate he didn’t like. Same for generals, congressional leaders, and establishment figures: they are either right or justified for their mistake. The bottom line, Trump is bad but the establishment is good, even if run by a corrupt self -serving elite, be it, Democrat or Republican.

When Trump demands justification for any of the hundreds of military bases around the world or demands the immediate withdrawal of troops from any part of the world, he is described as a fool, unaware of interests and processes. of national security.

Any withdrawal of U.S. military commitments abroad is so hard in the eyes of Woodward and his loved ones that it doesn’t even deserve comment.

And that’s why it’s business as usual in Washington, as long as the ruling elites continue to be satisfied with the US management’s decline, Trumpism will remain and metastasize and relentlessly Trump and laugh towards Washington, again.

On the whole, Trump will definitely run. And if he does win, because he can make the vibe of my fingering as I type his victory will write the demise of American democracy with serious consequences around the world.
