People might be expecting far too much from a second Trump presidency. Though his nationalist populism (or the embryo of such) is indeed a definite improvement over many a past President there is only so much he will be able to accomplish without the tools and support necessary to enact the type of legislation many of us hope he will promote should he assume office. The U.S. is a bitterly divided nation at all levels of society, and there are many who would welcome a total collapse of this nation rather than see their political opposition be victorious. Without a significant majority (both popular and political) to back him and take the many forces arrayed against him to task, a Trump second term may be nothing more than a temporary speed bump along the road to U.S. inevitable decay.

The fact that there are intellectuals who are pinning their hopes for an American renewal on Donald Trump shows just how desperate and bleak our future is…the glorification of Trump in this piece is absurd and referring to the massive and overwhelming peaceful 2020 protests against the police state as “race riots” belies the author’s bigotry. Harris will continue the American decline and Trump will continue to grift. There is no redemption anytime soon.

If Donald Trump gets elected (I hope he does) it will be an adult Trump, with a proper team behind him, should he lose to a Harris, a catastrophe awaits, and we will see the same incompetence and lack

of leadership which has plagued Biden's years.

We might even see a civil war breaking out, that might be able to end the stranglehold the Jewish mafia holds Trump is not an ideal candidate but he is the best bet for now
