To ask if Donald Trump could actually be president again?

[tinkertee]

I've just seen a headline about him now being the front runner for the Republican nomination. Which I assume means it's entirely a possibility that he could then win.

I'm British (English) so I know our current government is a complete embarrassment. But I will never get my head around DT having been president once never mind possibly twice.

How could this happen??

Blame the Democrats. First Hilary and now Biden. Just awful. Open goal for Trump.

Ramaswamy is as terrifying as Trump. Another one who would lead us to WW3.

By NOT standing up to russia. Not standing up to them is the path to WW3

I...what?! Where on earth are you getting this from?

I don't understand your view that Russia didn't invade Ukraine, or that Trump wouldn't have allowed it. Of course he would. And he's come out and said he's in support of this invasion:

I am happy to bet that after KS first term people in the U.K. people would be as disappointed as they are with Biden.

Both of whom are better than Trump. He’s sexually assaulted women and then bragged about it, he’s kept classified documents in his toilet at home. I could go on but I don’t need to. We all know my 11 year old could do a better job than that oversized toddler.

That doesn’t mean the Tories are or would be better.

This ‘no new wars’ thing is bonkers, you must see that? It’s purely coincidence - and the fact the world was dealing with a pandemic for a chunk of it. Which wars don’t you think would have happened if Trump had won a second term? (Don’t say Ukraine, it was already happening in Donbas while he was president).

You mean as opposed to showering with his own daughter and keeping classified documents that as VP he was not allowed to take, in his open garage?

He’s just had a landslide win in Iowa so I wouldn’t put it past him. He’s a criminal - can’t American voters see that? I don’t rate either candidate. As previous posters have said, why can’t there be someone younger - early fifties would be ideal - rather than two men who appear to be in different stages of dementia? Our own lot, both main parties, are an absolute shambles but appear almost competent in comparison.

Ramaswamy is more interested in being famous than being a politician. He doesn't have the experience or knowledge necessary to be a politician but he has all the bravado and arrogance. If that's being a true MAGA, that's frightening.

That wasn’t the question I was answering.
However, I tend to judge by a person’s own actions, not those of their friends.

Well, yes.
Im anti the whole thing.
But people claim MAGA without defining anything. I was wondering if @HoarHouse could clarify at least that part.

That doesn’t mean the Tories are or would be better

That part when people said we were better off with. I am happy to bet on that bit too.

Disappointed? Probably.
Still aware things went better than they would have under the Tories? Definitely.

Did Trump not effectively tie up the Senate when someone died just before he left power making it difficult for Biden to do much

I don't understand US politics I can't remember the details but I do remember something

I think he will. Sadly. He has so many horrible qualities. But then again, you may as well have a cucumber in the White House rather than Biden. I often forget he is President. He has no presence or charisma at all, and doesn't seem to know what he is doing half the time.

I had a theory that Biden would step aside for Kamala Harris, but it doesn’t look like he’s going to. The thought of Trump getting back in is as terrifying as Truss or Johnson getting a second go.

Has anyone asked if Kiefer Sutherland is available??!

Seriously, he would do a much better job than either of them!!!

He appointed his own judges to the Supreme Court, tipping the balance in favour of the hard right.

I don't think he did anything in the Senate but I am no expert on US politics so am prepared to be corrected!

They didn't withdraw during trumps reign either.

Shame he didn't use his statesmanship to get his pal Putin to withdraw from Ukraine.

How odd that he picked a person of colour as his second in command, then. He also worked very harmoniously with Obama. (He’s the one that needs bringing back, or Michelle.)

If everyone else is clamping down their borders like Billy o it’s going to be - interesting isn’t the right word

Russia invaded in 2014

I would put some money on it and Jeremy vine on the radio just now said that even if Donald Trump ends up in prison between now and November, he will still campaign from prison!
No real idea how American politics work, but he seems popular enough and I would not be surprised to see him back in the White House.

Yep - the idea that Trump is anti-war is laughable. I find it incredible that people could still vote for him when he's a criminal with a charge sheet longer than my arm, and has already said he's going to turn the US into a dictatorship. I suppose they think it'll be fine so long as they've got their guns. Turkeys voting for Christmas.
