What does the future hold for Donald Trump? - threadbans in OP

Only a very disturbed mind or a troll could ever compare Obama and Trump. Take from that what you will.

I kind of feel the language barrier somewhat helps Melania become the perfect MAGA First Lady.

Her poor English and accent cloak any sense of her being an intelligent person, which for them is ideal. I suspect the dream life of a typical MAGA Hillbilly includes having an attractive dimwit for a wife who will perform her marital duties, does not offer debate and will happily *sit over there* with the other women, while the men-folk discuss important God-fearing issues.

But those devil-ish Dems just keep insisting on educating their women. Mercy be!

If Trump manages to stay on the ballot I think he will win. However I think its less than a 50/50 chance he will. I actually think there is a good chance the US Supreme Court will rule against him.

There is a majority of traditional constitutional interpretation justices now on the bench. They will probably have the deciding voice in the SC for the next 20 years. However for there legacy to be historically sound they may well decide that Trump is a supporter of insurrection which bars him from office. If they do that there interpretation of the US constitution cannot be historically challenged

What happens if they bar him more than likely Nicki Haley goes on as the GOP candidate. I would expect she would beat Biden and I think that would be in the thinking of US Supreme Court conservative jurists as well, she would have every bit as good a chance of winning as Trump would have and the conservative SC jurists would cement there beliefs as well as probably guaranteeing control of the SC for a significant amount of time

If what you are laying out comes to pass, the USA will go into a period of political turmoil that will be totally unprecedented in our lifetimes. I don't say that to mean I don't think Trump should be barred, but if you thought series 1-3 of "America" were wild, series 4 is going to totally blow your socks off.

For starters, Trump would not go into retirement and we'd be left with the bizarre scenario that the Republican party was controlled by a blacklisted politician who its remaining candidates would have to claim loyalty to. If Nikki Haley were to get the nod, she would have to essentially promise to act as a proxy president, acting under precise instruction from Trump, and to pull every single string it is possible to pull to get Trump out of all the legal bother he's in. Because the party is in such thrall to Trump and his ideology, having someone else run in his stead is only a marginal upgrade. It might be better for Trump to step aside for someone more electable and get the pardons from them, but that's a side point.

The even bigger worry is the idea of Trump not being allowed to run resulting in widespread disorder, with threats made toward public officials being made good on. That has to be dealt with in a way that does not further inflame the situation. And what would deep red states do? Political pressure would be huge, there, not to play ball, and happens then?

Again, it's not that barring Trump wouldn't be justified, but there must be plans in place to deal with the utter shitttstorm that'll follow, and not allow things to inadvertently play into Trump's hands.

She didn't spend new years eve with him. There is no fiction that she likes him to hang on to.

No wonder there is zero discussion as IT IS HARD TO KNOW WHERE TO START?

What is your basis for that? She has said that she supports Trump and would continue supporting him even if he gets a conviction. She has nothing to say about his recent finding of raping Jean Carroll, has had nothing to say about him stealing classified documents, and then refusing to return them. She has had nothing to say about his involvement in Jan 6th or little to say about Jan 6th.

Once in office? And yes the idea that people will openly lie to get into office but then suddenly grow a backbone. This of course is giving them the huge benefit of the doubt, and takes no account of their desire to win a second term, or indeed to enjoy a legacy or to get anything done while in office and turning against the party that helped you get elected is not going to make them continue to support them.

Believe people when they tell you who they are.

Whats toxic about disliking a rapist?

Melania was visiting her gravely ill mother in hospital last night, thats what relatives do.

Nothing is below the belt though.

Coming from the mouth of trump.

As already asked, why was he at a party instead?

But that is what Trump did. Rather than spend time supporting his wife through what is a very difficult time he went to a party.

Just another example of everything being about him. He couldn't even pause for one night to support his wife.

Ah yes. I'll enough to force her daughter there but not be helped by her husband supporting her.

They have pretty obviously not been a close couple. I mean he cheated on her when she was pregnant. Hardly the hallmark of a healthy relationship. As ever you seem honour bound to try and find excuses to deny reality.

Is Donald Trump not one of her relatives? Why wasn't he visiting with his wife? He could've put a video message up for the party and been at Melania's side...

Of course, there's a lot less admiration to be gained that way.
