Re: 2024 ELECTION:TRUMP is Worlds Greatest Threat as Judge Allows Him on Primary Ball
UNHINGED TRUMP is STILL The Greatest Threat The World Faces
Economists’ ‘World Ahead’ Guide Declares Donald Trump The Biggest Global Threat In 2024
Colorado Judge Rejects Bid to BLOCK TRUMP From Primary Ballots
'It’s a SAD day in America when TRUMP the criminal gets a free pass YET AGAIN. If anyone else did ANY ONE of his abhorrent crimes, they’d be in jail already. No insurrectionist should ever be on any ballot. Period.'
BBC/AP 18 NOV 2023
TRUMP Isn’t Merely Unhinged. Many of his recent statements illustrate a profoundly un-American set of ideas.
The biggest danger the world faces in 2024 is if former President Donald Trump is elected to a second term, according to The Economists’ guide to The World Ahead.
In the 38 years since the predictive guide was first published, “no single person has ever eclipsed our analysis as much as Donald Trump eclipses 2024,” the article begins. It goes on to ponder what a Trump victory would mean for the world and claims that parliaments and boardrooms the world over are filled with “despair” at what may come:
A second Trump term would be a watershed in a way the first was not. Victory would confirm his most destructive instincts about power. His plans would encounter less resistance. And because America will have voted him in while knowing the worst, its moral authority would decline. The election will be decided by tens of thousands of voters in just a handful of states. In 2024 the fate of the world will depend on their ballots.
Trump would move his MAGA Republican allies into “the most important positions” in government, the article predicts, and Trump would be “unbound in his pursuit of retribution, economic protectionism and theatrically extravagant deals.”
The article posts that a Trump win would signal to China that American democracy is “dysfunctional,” and could give the communist nation the incentive to invade its island neighbor, Taiwan. In addition, the article predicts that Trump’s desire to quickly end the war in Ukraine would give Vladimir Putin the impetus to take over other neighboring countries like Moldova and the Baltic states.
The guide’s look ahead to 2023, was more optimistic about the presidential elections.
“Whoever ends up dispatching Donald Trump, at long last, will determine that future,” wrote columnist James Bennet. “Will it be a primary opponent? Or, in the general election of 2024, will it be President Joe Biden, or a Democrat representing a new direction for the party?”
But this year’s article resigns itself to the possibility that no one will end up “dispatching” Trump.
“That a TRUMP victory next November is a coin-toss probability is beginning to sink in,” the article concedes...
TRUMP Isn’t Merely Unhinged...
Many of TRUMPs’ Most Dangerous Statements Hide in The Plain Light of Day.
The problem is not that they don’t get reported on—they do—but even so, they are easy to tune out, perhaps because he’s been saying outlandish things for so long that people simply can’t bring themselves to parse the new ones; or perhaps because they’ve become accustomed, or at least numb, to his utterances
Or perhaps because they don’t want to let him occupy their headspace; or perhaps because he got kicked off Twitter (now X) and they had no interest in joining Truth Social.
Or maybe it’s because the more sinister material gets mixed up with his strange elocutions (“We’re gonna have a great country—it’s gonna be called the United States of America”), contrarian hot takes ..
(“You know, Hezbollah is very smart. They’re all very smart”), and gibberish (“All of these indictments that you see—I was never indicted. Practically never heard the word. It wasn’t a word that registered”).
Whatever the case may be, Trump has continued to make plainly dangerous and stunning remarks. Notwithstanding his rival Governor Ron DeSantis’s recent claim that Trump has “lost the zip on his fastball,” the former president continues to produce substantive ideas—which is not to say they are wise or prudent, but they are certainly more than gibberish.
In fact, much of what Trump is discussing is un-American, not merely in the sense of being antithetical to some imagined national set of mores, but in that his ideas contravene basic principles of the Constitution or other bedrock bases of American government.
