The Donald Trump Presidency Thread After Hours

[Franco Pinion]

Sadly, this might not be far from the truth. Trump has divided Americans to such an extent that some even see their fellow citizens and neighbours as enemies

A former British ambassador to the US recently stated that he feared violent clashes in the aftermath of the election

To claim he won and that the Democrats are using Chinese help to try to steal the election, it is an act of war and a coup and it needs all American Patriots to take their guns to the street and protect their favourite president before ANTIFA come and take them away?

I don't think we've seen the worst yet of what he'll do to protect himself.

Trump has been nominated for a Nobel Peace prize for brokering the 'historic peace agreement' between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.

Delivering peace between countries that aren't at war and that nobody ever cared about is about the Trumpiest thing ever. It's only because his supporters care about no place outside the US that they even think this is a big thing. For all they know he might as well have brokered peace between Quebec and Nova Scotia.

He also made peace between the Palestinians and Israel virtually impossible by defying international law and declaring Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

He's done feck all apart from make America more divided than its been since the '60s, ostracize the US from all its allies, help dictators around the world, oh and kill 200,000 Americans by not even bothering to try and protect them from a pandemic.

Donald Trump has refused to answer whether he'd ensure a peaceful transfer of power if he were to lose the election in November and instead he gave the usual "we will have to see what happens" answer.

He also has signalled that he'll overrule the FDA and approve a vaccine for coronavirus.

I've never heard of anyone as unhinged as Trump in a position of such power yet there is every chance he will be elected for another 4 years. Bonkers when you think about it!

I remember a time when a vice president misspelling the word "potato" was enough to greatly affect a presidential race.

That was less than 30 years ago. How on earth have we come to this?

A few years ago Fox News had a collective fit when Obama dared to wear a tan suit and put dijon mustard on a burger.

Now Trump will not say if he is willing to agree to a peaceful transfer of power if/when he loses and you get tumbleweed from them.

America really is in for a scary four months.

I think it is in for far longer than that. The right has been emboldened by Trump. A loss by Trump will simply be used as more evidence that they are being held down by dark forces and more proof that they are correct.

This is not going away anytime soon, America is very quickly tearing itself apart, and I don't see anything or anybody that is going to reverse that.

There has been a complete break down of trust and understanding across the two positions, DNC and GOP, and it is increasing rather than reducing.

George W Bush stated that people are either with the US in the War on Terror or against them, and the same now holds true in the US domestically. You are either on one side or the other. There is no room for compromise as any compromise is been as a loss for one and a win for the other.

Trump has exacerbated this with constant cries that people are against him simply for asking questions on not agreeing with him

Trust me, we who share the world's longest "undefended" border with them are starting to get the shakes, too. What impact will it have on us if our largest trading partner and closest neighbour goes to hell in a handbasket?

(I put "undefended" in quotes because right now it is closed to non-essential travel to control the spread of COVID so is kind of semi-defended).

I think America needs more political parties!!
