I'm concerned how fixated so many in US are about Trump.
I was all too pro-Trump until I read more what he did, other things too.
Did you ever see 'Headlines with a voice'? She reviewed 'legalman'.
I think he has a bad past, but I need hard evidence, but plenty of speculation.
I don't know if he's way better than Biden. Maybe anyone would be.

@2FollowHim Well, Trump was a man with flawed character, but he was not an ideologue, and he was not compromised in ways Biden is. Biden is so corrupt that compromised that he will support anything and sign anything and say anything to protect and enrich the Biden Crime family. He is also not an ideologue but he is not much more than mere placement for ideologues. Trump was not compromised in ways Biden is, but he was flawed and was a bad politician. He was good entertainer, had good instinct for some things, but ultimately he was either manipulated or neutered by the establishment. In his attempt to please everyone, but the voters and the neocons, Trump compromised himself as president. Instead of doing the job he was supposed to be doing, he ended up either fighting the constant attacks from media and swamp, or trying to please various voters and neocons. In the end he only postponed the inevitable.

The establishment rigged elections since the 1970's and no matter who Americans voted for, republican or democrat, while there was little differences in domestic policies, there were no differences in forign policies or printing. Trump supported the arrogant, always used to wining, regime and in the end, his biggest legacy to the people was forcing the shadow goverment to shows itself in order to get rid of him. It slowed down their progress, but it also made them slip of their masks and go faster forward with their agendas.

But in the end Trump is a man of flawed character, one of the worse judgment of character, because all the people he endorsed or hired ended up stabbing him in the back. He was manipulated and he was weak so the DC neocons had him do what they wanted, just by less direct means. With Biden its back to business as usual. Also Trump was weak in using his powers to stop riots by the BLM, he did not go after any of the corruption with Big Tech, he pardon some nasty people but not Julian Assange. No doubt this was the wishes of the neocons in the DC that manipulated him. So in the end, he was out of his dept in any real way as a statesmen, or politician. But he was a good entertainer and he force the shadow goverment to reveal itself. That is his biggest legacy.

Good economy under Trump and all that nonsense is for people who much like Trump have no clue about economy. They only know how to inflate or live under inflated bubble and no healthy frame of reference to anything else.

@Krunoslav I find it strange; millions of people living in US, so, statistically,
some are capable, and some of those might want to be in politics.
But in US, you've got octogenarian, Pelosi, Biden, Trump that I've
noticed. The geriatrics. Oh, don't forget Hillary.

Then, we have the 'Commonwealth countries' with much younger people,
maybe more deranged.

The US was considered 'the land of opportunity', freedom (relatively)
but held politically by not only damaged people but by old damaged people.

I'm old myself, and I always championed youth who tried to train and learn.
While I can be encouraging, things are changing too rapidly; what I
knew wouldn't work today. My reading showed Trump was a conman.
Yet many in US really believe this old man is the answer.

Of course, then you have the actors, Zelensky znd Trudeau.

@2FollowHim Well the system is broken because that is where liberalism ultimately leads to.

George Orwell once said that the “English intelligentsia…can swallow totalitarianism because they have no experience of anything except liberalism…So much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire by people who don’t even know that fire is hot.” Having experienced the reality of totalitarianism first-hand, Orwell knew all too well the ways in which people far removed from it employ “soothing phrases” to disguise more sinister ends. Of course, he would later coin the term “Newspeak” in his novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949). This was the totalitarian language created to meet the ideological requirements of English Socialism under Big Brother.

“The heirs of the French, English, and American revolutions had partly believed in their own phrases about the rights of man, freedom of speech, equality before the law, and the like, and have even allowed their conduct to be influenced by them to some extent. But by the fourth decade of the twentieth century all the main currents of political thought were authoritarian. The earthly paradise had been discredited at exactly the moment when it became realizable. Every new political theory, by whatever name it called itself, led back to hierarchy and regimentation. And in the general hardening of outlook that set in round about 1930, practices which had been long abandoned, in some cases for hundreds of years — imprisonment without trial, the use of war prisoners as slaves, public executions, torture to extract confessions, the use of hostages, and the deportation of whole populations — not only became common again, but were tolerated and even defended by people who considered themselves enlightened and progressive.”

In the end. Liberalism delivers what is promises, but its often the opposite of what most people expect.
