He should have understood too that defiance and wannabe authoritarianism doesn’t do well in this country, though it may seduce the most desperate fraction of his voters.

In the US, you no longer need a competent president, you just need a competent showman for that function. His cabinet and various layers of advisors run the country, and they are the ones who need to be competent. Trump certainly does put out a show, and his advisors are competent, so all is well.

Exactly. Immigration continues and now NJ is following NY and illegal aliens can get professional licenses (not just driving, but any type of professional license). Why the hell do we even have laws any more on the books? If I were a LEGAL immigrant, I'd be so angered right now and disappointed that this is allowed. We may as well just open the door and say no passports required. No point in having citizenship since it has been debased and an illegal has MORE rights than a US citizen almost at this point.

His Justice Department has left his own supporters out hung and dry, when not directly arrested, while ANTIFA still gets a free pass. Didn't he say they would be a domestic terrorist organization? Why aren't their assets frozen and dozens of arrests? See, all hot air.

I agree though BROADLY with what you say. I absolutely believe that Biden would be an absolute nightmare hell for this country.

I do think though that Trump has failed on many key issues and I am not so sure his voters will be as motivated this time. We shall see. If we go strictly by the polls, it doesn't look good for Trump in November.
BS, ‘the polls’ are you kidding me? They were way off before and they are way off now.

People are more motivated now then 4 years ago especially due to the destruction the left is causing to this country.

He has not failed, are you on something? he has only been met by constant resistance for 4 years and has gotten much done done despite it all. More than most presidents.

‘Every single promise has turned out to be empty’, Dude, now I know that there is something seriously wrong with you. Unbelievable!

I noticed how the more violent elements in society were no longer scared of the police, as illustrated by dozens upon dozens of examples of crimes that have taken place in the last 6 months.

On top of that, the ridiculous Chief of the NYPD, Monahan, wearing full uniform, took the knee to bow and tribute the new lords of BLM. It was really painful and nauseating to watch.

That's another one I don't know whether to file under Enemies of America or You Couldn't Make It Up.

Everywhere, madness is in the air. For the past couple of weeks, there's been an apocalyptic atmosphere everywhere. I constantly ask myself "who is really in charge of the asylum"?

We appear not to have a Government worth the name. Trump has lost the plot completely. You´d never think that in 2016 Americans elected a very right-wing candidate with a majority in the Senate. I feel as if though I am living in a Left-wing dictatorship.

In the face of the greatest national emergency since World War II, the entire country is consumed by a never-ending preposterous discussion/spat about statues of White men who died long ago.

Mobs roam the country committing criminal damage while police stand back and let them get on with it, particularly in NYC, Portland, Washington D.C., Atlanta and other major cities.

In NYC, you have the most reprehensible and disgusting mayor ever to be elected, Bill DE BLASIO, seizing the moment and at the same time are totally incapable of doing anything about the real black lives being lost to gun violence and other crimes.

The federal senators have abrogated all responsibility. They are happy to be IN office but not in power, as the saying goes. The state senators, too.

Black Lives Matter criminals demand change, but when pressed are incapable of giving any specifics as to what, precisely, that means. And yet even the Republicans grovel before this mob.

Meanwhile, half the country was enjoying an extended, all-expenses-paid summer vacation on the taxpayers' tab.

Giving cash away is the easy bit. Let's see how things work out now that everyone´s pocket money is going to stop. By now, many have realized idleness is a way of life. So many don't have a job to go back to.

Neither Trump nor any other elected politician seems capable of pushing back against the brutal wave of institutional far left crazy bias. The only thing America is beating the world right now is in Covid deaths and crime in cities.

Trump has failed his audition, because it has been downhill ever since his election.

Meanwhile, the stats for NYC are appalling:

Unemployment benefits encourage laziness:

https://nypost.com/2020/07/05/nyc-gr...-unemployment/

Rising violent crime:

https://nypost.com/2020/07/22/andrew...ootings-spike/

We absolutely have to make it hard on those people who CAN WORK and CAN CHOOSE jobs but still refuse to do so. Indefinite unemployment benefits must end. Crime must once again be severely punished and a lot more people should be in jail.

The NYC mayor should be recalled. We are only human...there is only so much more of this madness a city can take!
You didn't leave New York. You were never here. The bail law did nothing really. Very few criminals released were arrested.

The real blame lies with the government and how they handled the pandemic.
