Normal age, midwesterny Middle America persona, he's a billionaire but he comes across as kind of relatable. He's electable. I like Michelle Lujan Grisham Governor of New Mexico. Wicked smart - could the US get it's head around electing a female President? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think CNN showed a tremendous amount of restriaint. That could have been a very awkward night for Trump but he got off very lightly. Can't believe we're in an age where someone can be found guilty of sexually abusing someone and it not completely eviscerate his political career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even worse that he doubled down on it and the audience of Trump supporters chuckled. edit: there is chat on social media among legal experts that E Jean Carroll could take the clip from last night, enter a late addition to the court to her case (even though it’s finished) and potentially get extra defamation money from the same case without the need to have a new trial, it would also go to the same judge (Kaplan) for quick summary judgement. If true, it could be an expensive night for Trump. Apparently some kind of loophole that can be triggered by her lawyers.

I simply cannot believe he's still got any chance of any kind of power. It's a sign of how totally insane America is. In past times he would have been executed! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are enormous amounts of investment flowing into USA, and all for modern, futuristic industries. They're building up enormous manufacturing capability meaning plenty of jobs and self sufficiency. It's a massive worry for China because it's helping to balance the global economy away from them for things like Solar Panels, Heat Pumps, EV's, Batteries, Turbines, Chips and all the supply chains that go into those things. It's a massive worry for us because we're sitting on our hands and doing NOTHING about this.....because we can't. We've already missed out on the Battery revolution, and we're seeing investment flood away from the UK to USA in respect of all the other things above. As usual we've got world leading engineering and design in many of those areas but will not ever capitalise on that as the actual construction and profits goes elsewhere. This is doubly bad for us because it's also a massive worry for the EU who are trying to respond with their own stimulus packages....so what we don't lose to USA we will lose to The EU. The UK is currently fiddling whilst Rome burns. In short I think The Inflation Reduction Act Biden has introduced has been an absolute master stroke and will keep US manufacturing at the forefront of the world and make up a lot of lost ground on China in those areas.

His serious failure is the border issues but he has accomplished so much that is needed for the U.S, it’s impressive but yeah not is seen as “exciting” like real gun reform, federally legalising abortion or something of that ilk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree, it’s massive but some reason it’s not seen as exciting which I don’t see why it hasn’t been lauded more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
