Hi guys,

I read your replies to my post and think that there is no point arguing now. We should wait for two more weeks to see how it pans out. I honestly hope that my assessment of trump will be proved wrong.

As I said before I am not much aware of us laws and regulations but I understand people and politics quite well and they are all the same all over the world.

Lastly, for clarification, I must say that I myself is not a liberal person but stands right to centre on most ideological issues but in my opinion, trump has nothing much to do with conservative party line. All he cares is about himself and what benefits him or not. And, that is going to hurt deeply conservative party also.

Let us wait and see what happens after 3 rd Nov.

With love,
Sanjay

I'm wonderin' the same thing about the houseplant named biden
I'm betting there's controversy either way.

If Trump wins, the Bidenettes will all scream that there wasn't enough mail-in voting counted into the mix, so the results are inauthentic and have to be disregarded. If Biden wins, it will be by mail-in voting, which will immediately open up reasonable suspicions of fraud. So what sense is there in capitulating to a fraudulent vote-count? That's not democracy, obviously, and as long as the votes can't be trusted, who's the real President?

The only way to real beat all that is to cancel mail-in voting, and make people show up with ID in hand to vote like voting should be done. But neither side is willing to do because of public fears of COVID, no matter how irrational those fears are in regard to voting.

So it's going to be a mess. I'm pretty certain of that.
As usual, your thoughts are ill informed.

My guess is that besides crying foul play, trump will refuse to leave the white House and his post, if he loses. I am not much aware of presidential power according to US laws but my fear is that he may impose emergency or invoke military to keep him as president. On the other hand, nothing dramatic will happen if Biden loses.

Remember what trump said before last election result- if Clinton wins, it would be because of cheating and i will not accept it. However, if I win, it would be fair and square. He is saying the same now.

With love,
Sanjay
The only thing he spouts is lies,

Trump: the Roy Cohn Clone. Or is that clown?

When you look up Donald Trump in an encyclopedia it says, "see Falsehood."

But, if Biden wins, trump will do everything possible not to leave white house. He has many options available.

He can go to supreme court to declare election null and void because of cheating.
He can militarily attack Iran on China for the reasons available to himin order to find and excuse to declare an emergency.
The reason for all that is that trump does not see him as an ordinary us citizen. He feels that it is his destiny to rule the us forever. He is very much inspired by people like Putin and xi jinping and envies them to see that how they imposed themselves on their countries for their lifetimes. He wants the same thing for him and for his children after him.

He can do all that even now but he is stll convinced that just the last time, the pollsters are getting wrong this time also. The day he realises that he is going to lose, we will see him in action. And, it will be a long choas. Sadly, odds are in favour of that.

How the heck and from what sound evidences did you make the above speculations? and given that you do not understand much about US politics and its laws.

We don't have evidence of how Trump will do because he has not lost the election yet.
However there are solid evidence of how the Democrats and the left will behave from their losing in the last election in 2016.
Note the terrible cognitive dissonance that followed their lost of the 2016 election with the Russian Gate, the indifference to doing any good for the people in co-operating in the House, and real violence from the left and Antifa. These are so evident.

I have not read of any precedents where past US presidents had done any power grab by illegals means after they have lost an election. Perhaps you are relying on evidence from other 3rd world countries. I don't believe it is possible for Trump to grab power given the political situations of the US.

It is also unfortunate you have been brainwashed by the anti-Trump media to be a zombie to hate Trump based on lies rather than objective evidences.
I was duped by the anti-republican medias the last time when Bush was president and I simply detest Bush merely based on the news I read and exposed to.

With Trump I have known quite a bit about him before he was president. Despite being boorish, egoistic, narcisistic and other negative he is not 'evil'.

Trump is a high performer and result-oriented leader.
Wait a minute!!! How many times has he declared bankruptcy?


As a non-US citizen you should do sufficient research to obtain objective knowledge rather than rely on fake news media.

Trump is a fucking looser! Can you say:

The crumbling casino and hotel of Trump Plaza in Atlantic City is getting torn down after sitting vacant for years. --Business Insider 06/12/2020--

Trump Plaza, the home of a former Trump casino and hotel in Atlantic City, will be torn down after the building's owner, billionaire Carl Icahn, submitted plans for demolition to local government officials, NJ.com reported Thursday.

The building, which was constructed and owned by Donald Trump before his presidency, has sat vacant since 2014 but the process to tear down the casino and hotel complex is now underway...


He's a waste of resources and flesh! He always bites off more than he can chew. His presidency is also proof of that.

200,000 people have died from Covid-19 in the US. That's more than the US battle deaths from 5 wars combined.

United States
Population: 331,589,837
Coronavirus Cases: 8,516,741
Deaths: 226,053
Recovered: 5,541,772

That's:
Cases: 0.025684566% of population
Deaths: 0.000681725% of population
Recovered: 0.016712732% of population


VS.

New Zealand
Population: 5,002,100
Coronavirus Cases: 1,887
Deaths: 25
Recovered: 1,829

That's:
Cases: 0.000377242% of population
Deaths: 0.000004998% of population
Recovered: 0.000365646% of population


That's a Woman, against Boy Trump, you all know, or at least you should, one of the many types of humans he demeans on a regular basis! Can you say Megalomaniac? He's the epitome!

With the exception of physical abnormalities, we're all born with equal potential, it's just that some are degraded due to experience, and of course the opposite is also true. It's just that some are degraded to the point of idiocy, and they are not fit to lead anything let alone a Nuclear Nation, arguably one of the most powerful. Unless you really believe you should allow a relative child play with a stick of TNT and a lit candle? Really????

Do you dumbasses really want to be instantly vaporized while you sleep because of the tempor tantrum of an idiot that doesn't listen to any expert on any particular matter he's not one? Really??? Well then just stick a loaded shotgun in your mouth and pull the trigger, to get it over with, so we can cry for your ignorance and loss, (don't worry, I feel sorry for you already), and get on with our educated lives.


Biden for president, the lessor of two 'potential' evils!
Which is how I've always voted, because I've been in contempt of human kind for quite some time now! With the exception of the scientific community and innocent children, (so far unscathed by idiotic, so called, adults), of course!

No person is perfect.

The mark of a high performer and result-oriented leader is who can get up immediately when knocked down, which Trump has proven in doing so.

In the light of all the potential exposure of corruptions from Iraq, Ukraine, China and Russia where he was the point-man during his VP days??
What about all the gaffes and incoherent statements he made.
Beside Biden has no significant achievements within his 47 years as a politician.

I believe Trump is the lesser of the two evils. Covid19 will soon be over when the vaccines are introduced, then Trump can repeat his positive achievements he had done in the last 3 years.
