With the help of the crazy American Electoral College System. 8)

Agreed. I think he would win relatively comfortably. The last poll I saw had a 2020 rematch as even. I take whatever the polls say and add 4 to 5 points to the Republican candidate. A Trump win would say more about the democrats then Trump.

Absolutely he would try and steal the election he won.


Agreed
Incumbent governments usually lose the election, rather than the opposition winning them. 8)

We can't count on help from the U.S. again. U.S. is no better than Russia, as I fear U.S. with the new Trump administration will ally with Russia and leave NATO.

The majority of Americans have already spoken: No to democracy, no to liberty - yes to dictatorship.

you don't just invade Europe, coming from China - you can't just conquer Russia on your way to Europe. The Siberian Steppe in winter is a nice Buffer against any invading army.
Russia doesn't have the means to invade Europe - it's a mafia regime,not a dictatorship with a soviet-union-sized army.

Europe and Russia together would howrver pose a threat to everyone, the US and China. European tech and Russian resources...
So even if Russia decided to invade Europe, the US and China have incentive to intervene. I imagine them collaborating and the everything turns into a cold war, after tge common enemy is defeated, like after ww2


If you think the US will sit by while Russia attacks NATO, your're dreaming. :mrgreen:

A federal judge put it correctly in a response to his lawsuit: Presidents are not kings, and the Plaintiff (Trump) is not President.

If Trump was to be re-elected, he would like to turn the office into a kingship. That is a serious threat to our Constitution. We cannot afford to have this happen.

Trump needs to leave the political scene on so many levels. 8)

Perhaps, but the irony of her creating the dossier, and then belatedly getting bitten on the bum is exquisite. :mrgreen:

He would be much like King Richard III, accusing everyone around him of treason at his downfall point.

He needs to retire from politics. I do not see that happening though. Once he tasted power of the office, he is constantly thirsty for more, regardless on the outcome to others. Political vampire that he is.

America would certainly be better off without former president Donald John Trump.

:D Presidents are not kings, and Donald Trump is not the president.
