President Trump

“He is dangerously close to getting re-elected!” This is how, in a recent issue, the London weekly The Economist presented Donald Trump’s chances of returning to the White House next year. This was based on a few polls indicating that, if nominated, Trump would have a chance of winning next November.

One must always be careful about predictions, especially by the press.

The Economist put Indonesian’s ruler General Suharto on its cover and predicted he would emerge as the most powerful leader in Asia. Less than a year later, Suharto was swept away by a popular uprising.

With more and more polls showing former President Trump building an insuperable lead over incumbent Joe Biden, the leftist media has become increasingly shrill and panicked over the return of Trump to the White House and what that will mean for them. Their fears often take on a psycho-sexual nature as they seem to visualize themselves at risk of being marched off to extermination camps or heroically staring down a conservative firing squad.

Former President Donald J. Trump is planning an extreme expansion of his first-term crackdown on immigration if he returns to power in 2025 — including preparing to round up undocumented people already in the United States on a vast scale and detain them in sprawling camps while they wait to be expelled.

The plans would sharply restrict both legal and illegal immigration in a multitude of ways.

Mr. Trump wants to revive his first-term border policies, including banning entry by people from certain Muslim-majority nations and reimposing a Covid 19-era policy of refusing asylum claims — though this time he would base that refusal on assertions that migrants carry other infectious diseases like tuberculosis.

Sounds Great!

OTTAWA—Canadians think Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre would handle another Donald Trump U.S. presidency better than Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, a new poll suggests.

Thirty-seven per cent of respondents to the latest national survey from Abacus Data for the Star said Poilievre would be better able to deal with Trump — if he won the U.S. presidential election in 2024 — than Trudeau.

Only 28 per cent said Trudeau would handle a Trump White House better, while 31 per cent said they didn’t know.

Alarm bells will likely ring for the White House as the US president is relying on a high youth turnout to be re-elected in 2024

Young Americans strongly prefer Donald Trump to Joe Biden in the 2024 election, a poll has found, amid persistent concerns over the US president’s age.

Mr Trump, 77, leads Mr Biden, 80, among voters under the age of 35 by 20 points in the latest poll by the Washington Post and ABC News.

Mr Trump had the support of 53 per cent of the 18 to 35-year-olds surveyed, while Mr Biden was backed by just 38 per cent.

A new poll that shows President Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump virtually tied in a 2024 rematch shocked mainstream media hosts over the long weekend.

The Wall Street Journal poll, released Saturday, found that in a head-to-head matchup, Trump and Biden are split evenly at 46 percent support. That result, ABC News host George Stephanopoulos said on Sunday, is “kind of shocking” in light of the indictments against Trump.

Donald Trump has expanded his dominating lead for the Republican presidential nomination, a new Wall Street Journal poll shows, as GOP primary voters overwhelmingly see his four criminal prosecutions as lacking merit and about half say the indictments fuel their support for him.

Backstage after the debate, the eight rivals and their teams were frantically pitching their version of why they had won the night and were on course to claim the Republican nomination.

But the huddles of listeners were thinning out and a notably bigger media scrum was forming just outside the “spin room”, around a man representing a candidate who had not bothered to turn up at all.

Former President Donald Trump told interviewer Tucker Carlson he skipped the first Republican presidential debate so he wouldn’t get ‘harassed’ by rivals he said didn’t deserve to run.

He made the comment at the top of a 46 minute interview where he said he skipped the forum to avoid giving other Republicans the chance to swing at him, acknowledging it was a defensive move to sit on his lead.

‘But you see, the polls have come out and I’m leading by 50 and 60 points. And you know, some of them are at one and zero and two. And I’m saying, “do I sit there for an hour or two hours, whatever it’s going to be and get harassed by people that shouldn’t even be running for president. Should I be doing that?’ Trump told Carlson.

Middle-class Americans just want their country back.

Donald Trump had hardly made it down the escalator in 2015 by the time political commentators had begun to search for ways to explain away his appeal to the public. Eight years later, the search continues — and the stubborn persistence of What’s The Matter With Kansas? reduxes suggests that most of it has been in vain. For most of the people who prognosticate about politics for a living, Trump is every bit as much of an enigma today as he was when he first announced his candidacy.

The United States (and therefore the West) is about to enter a period of even more weirdness, and more instability. In fact, we probably ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

Why? Look at the result of The New York Times poll released on Monday. With six months to go before the first Republican primary votes are cast, the poll reveals that Donald Trump has an overwhelming lead among all his primary opponents, commanding a stunning 54% of likely GOP primary voters. The second place candidate, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, is a whopping 37 points behind.

WHATEVER one’s view of Donald Trump’s 2017-2021 presidency, the fact cannot be denied that through his appointments to the US Supreme Court he has saved American business owners from compelled speech.

The 1939 classic “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” evokes a comparison between its protagonist and the former president.

Is Donald Trump the new Jimmy Stewart?

In the wake of the latest battle between the Outsider former President Donald Trump and the corrupt Insider Washington political Establishment, the thought occurs to recall the 1939 movie classic Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, starring Jimmy Stewart.
