To ask if Donald Trump could actually be president again?

He probably will be. People really are that dumb.

Trump is the only US president never to take America into a conflict/war.
He taps into common sense working class America. His family and education policy's are popular.
I used to hate him, now I have broadened where I get my news I can see why he is very popular.

That's what they are voting in the primaries to decide.

When will they republicans announce their candidate? It is it already Trump?

The ability to run for President is extremely difficult and manipulated.
Trump broke through because of his name recognition in a country of 300 million and that the Democrats treated him like a joke for the whole campaign.

I agree both parties have unsuitable candidates. Is this really the best they can come up with in a country the size of theirs? It’s an absolute joke. Bring in some fresh candidates, should be a one shot and done. DT thinks he unfairly lost the election when he absolutely did not and it’s so worrying just how deluded he is, but sadly it seems are the people who vote for him

Tuesday November 5th 2024 (for the Federal Elections, including the Presidency).

The irony is Trump has changed the Republican party by speaking to the concerns of working-class people in depressed areas, while many see the Democrats as the elites who are snobby and ignorant toward traditional values such as faith, family and patriotism (yet of course expecting someone else's children to be fighting wars).

The Gender Ideology pushed by Democrats is extremely unpopular in the USA - despite the fact that, just like in the UK, those that have different opinions to the Democratic Orthodoxy on this issue are silenced.
It's Republican led states that have been passing laws to protect children from having any medical intervention and that parents should always be informed if a child declares a different identity at school.

On these kind of issues it's Democrats who have looked crazy and out of touch with ordinary people.

Bots are back in force.

I think you’re right. I also agree there’s a lot of criticism around the US intervening but the reality is it will feel a lot harder without that support. I don’t think people get that yet.

I mean some do but you see it on here, trying to mean well I assume but underestimating the extra vulnerability due to US leaving a big gap

When will the next election be?

Americans are tired of paying for the defence of Europe when most European countries point fingers at the USA as warmongers while expecting Americans to come in with huge resources and manpower when needed.
Many Americans agreed with Trump that it's time Europe paid for its own defense (the UK is one nation that has always been proactive). The US is worried about China as well as Russia.
It's of course mostly working class families and lower middle class families whose sons and daughters have been on the front lines in the past decades of war. While at home their families and communities sink into poverty.
They are becoming non-interventionist and Trump recognized that.

The huge increased investment in microchip manufacturing in the USA

I feel like Donald Trump is the American Boris Jhonson. I can't believe either of them got in to power. The world is a terrifying place!

I think it was okay under Trump. There was no war, for a start. He went out of his way to liaise with people in charge in countries where tension was high. I don’t particularly like the man, but I think he is a vast improvement over Biden. Plus I’m sick of the gender woo-woo. Let’s get back to the real world.

It was Trump that changed Defense Policy and the Pentagon focus away from the Middle East and toward China and Russia.
Again, I am no Trump supprter but that's a fact.
There was a corresponding push to bring microchip manufacturering back to the USA, which the Biden administration has continued. COVID only revealed how dangerous it was to be too dependent on China for microchip manufacturing and other essential products.

I don't think Russia would have invaded Ukraine if Trump had been president

Probably not - Trump imposed sanctions on Russia's Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline in December 2019;
https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainealert/us-sanctions-block-putins-pipeline/

Biden lifted the sanctions in May 2021 - handing Putin a major geopolitical win;

The Biden administration has decided to waive sanctions against the company overseeing the construction of Russia's Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline to Germany, despite bipartisan opposition in Congress and appeals from [Ukraine and Poland].

Republican lawmakers immediately accused the administration of handing Russian President Vladimir Putin a major political victory. Democrats urged the White House to reconsider, and the Kremlin called the news a "positive signal."

As the sitting president, he was unchallenged last time -- that's why he got all 107,000 in 2020. It was a landslide this time when you figure he got more votes than all the other challengers combined.

(Yes, I would rather have other options, but if I have to choose between 2 terrible choices, he's the terrible choice I have to go with. As previous poster explained, the economy and border security are important issues this election.)

He is less of a murderer than Genocide Joe so I hope Trumps win.

How caan Trump and Biden be the best the USA has to offer? Never understood this.

Brits have an understanding of USA politics as much as Americans understand UK politics - i.e., not much. For a start the USA is vast, while the whole of the UK would fit in California. It's not helpful to compare them as it's not remotely like for like. Comparing the UK to one state would be more realistic, and since the UK left the EU their influence has plummeted.
In fact California has a bigger economy than the UK

Bets on for first celebrity to threaten to leave the USA, (only they didn't) again.

Lie down with dogs and you get up with fleas.

It wasn't intended to be an endorsement, but a fact-check. There's enough misinformation on this thread without adding to it. Don't say "The world" when what you mean is "the UK and Western Europe"

Yes, dictators love him, because he fawns over them. Hardly a ringing endorsement.
