Opinion polls show the twice impeached, quadruply indicted ex-president narrowly leading Biden – and experts say ‘it would be a disaster for America’
It is a cold day in Washington. A crowd is gathering on the National Mall for the swearing-in of the 47th president of the United States. At noon on 20 January 2025, Donald Trump places his hand on a Bible, takes the oath of office and delivers an inaugural address with a simple theme: retribution.
This is the nightmare scenario for millions of Americans – and one that they are increasingly being forced to take seriously. Opinion polls show Trump running away with the Republican presidential nomination and narrowly leading Democrat Joe Biden in a hypothetical match-up. Political pundits can offer plenty of caveats but almost all agree that the race for the White House next year will be very close.
The fact that there is a more than remote chance of the twice impeached, quadruply indicted former US president returning to the Oval Office is ringing alarm bells. “I think it would be the end of our country as we know it,” Hillary Clinton, who lost to Trump in 2016, said on the ABC talkshow The View this week. “And I don’t say that lightly.”
Ignoring him won't make him go away. He's (sadly) his party's frontrunner by far. If we just close our eyes to the threat he poses, we'll just repeat 2016 and Trump will get into the White House again.
Trust me, I want to be able to ignore him. Unfortunately, we're not at that point yet
Unfortunately we gotta keep this shit front and center until the election. The risk that libs sit it out, thinking Biden is a shoe-in, is too large to ignore. We've already done this in 2016.
