Biden is meh at best. But at least he has repopulated the civil service with adults (Tony Blinken and the like) that give us a fighting chance of navigating complex global relationships.

A vote for Trump is a vote for a match and some gasoline. And I think that’s what the majority of his voters want tbh. They’ve been mostly left behind economically, and, well, this will show them.
sorry, Biden's answer to navigating through complex global issues has been as an arms dealer, not a peacemaker. He deserves no more respect than Trump. Those are adults I want nothing to do with. Thousands of women and children have been killed with American bombs within the past year.

Very true.

Trump is a flawed human being, everyone knows that. However, his flaws have been greatly exaggerated in the media. People believe in him because he is a leader for their cause who doesn't give up.

I agree, Biden is not the one who is running the country.

Oh, I know we will survive. But I believe we will see a lot of silly drama this election year. I believe Biden will not be on the ballot in November and he will likely be out of office by the end of July.

Trump is a billionaire. Running for President is not about making money.

Yeah, I don't think it was ever about money for him, but about feeding his ego. Huge throngs of people listening to him, following him, some to the point of near worship, are what he craves. Unfortunately, he's also discovered the downside of all that attention.

You mean because Letitia James fined him $354 Million to cripple his campaign? Trump's net worth will fluctuate between $2 billion and $7 billion depending on the stock value of his company Truth Social. Today it is above 7 billion but he can't sell any stock until about October 1.

Of course he enjoys the fact that up to 100,000 want to attend his rallies. I really don't see anything wrong with that. The only reason to be upset about that, is if you just don't like the guy or his policies.

The downside does not come the attention he gets. The down side comes from facing the corrupt establishment that has thrown everything they have at him since 2016.

Here is a 3 minute video, an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 1988, that proves he has long wanted to solve the countries problems.

Any NJ homeowner would be nuts to vote for TFG, as he would come after our SALT deductions again.
Not to mention all of the other negatives he brings with him.

Where did I ever say I was upset over the numbers at the rally at Wildwood? Don't make up stupid stuff and try to make it sound as if I said something I didn't. I hate that stupid Internet tactic. It's childish.

What I said is that Trump's MAIN REASON for running/holding office is because it feeds his ego. I get that some of you believe he really wants to do something good for the country. I don't see it. I feel like he has you fooled as part of his ego-feeding. He tells you what you want to hear, feeds you an "enemy" to gang up on and feel righteous about. You are worshiping a mere man, and your enemies are your fellow Americans. I think that is dangerous.

I could only watch a bit of that vid right now because I am on a train. I will listen later when I won't disturb anyone. I don't yet know everything he says, and again, he is on Oprah, the hottest spotlight a person who craves attention can be on in 1988. But doesn't it strike you on how different and ARTICULATE he is 35 years ago? This is not the same person we see now.

Trump has a personality disorder. Biden has dementia. Neither are worship material. I wish they would both go away. A lot of tough choices will need to be made in the future, our present track is unsustainable. Leave your kids and grandkids what you can, they'll be much more effected than you.

Sing it. Something is truly dysfunctional in our country when these two are our choices. AGAIN.
