Trump did not create the number of jobs he promised for the Golf Course in Scotland. It was supposed to be 1000 new jobs and it has only been about 20. Half of the plans were never finished. Plus, he ended up bullying a man who refused to leave his property nearby the land. He switched his water off, and there were major protests. Some people have speculated that the SNP helped to have the plans signed off. _btw I’m not Scottish, just a curious person who watched an investigative documentary_

I hate to say it but Biden was one of the most left wing presidents in US history, particularly on social issues, and Harris would have been even more to the left. A lot of polling seems to show that more Americans thought the Dems had gone too far to the left than Trump had gone to the right. Unfortunately if anything, this election vindicates Starmer taking a much more pragmatic approach and giving major concessions on issues like immigration and trans rights. That said, we do need to find a way to stop the growing influence of far-right social values in this country very soon.

On reflection, Trump's 2024 presidential victory is predestined & necessary because, without him in office, the USA path to eventual break-up into a number of individual independent countries cannot happen from 2026 onwards. Americans may not consider themselves an “empire,” but much of the world does. According to the late Sir John Bagot Glubb, a specialist on the subject, the average lifespan of empires is 250 years. After this period, empires typically decline, often due to overreaching in their quest for power. With 700 to 1,000 military bases and installations worldwide, the USA has indeed overextended itself. The United States, founded in 1776, will celebrate its 250th anniversary in 2026. However, the actions of now again President Trump will accelerate and exacerbate further divisions within the country and potentially leading to its fragmentation into several independent states. Americans has made their choice and, for better or for worst, will have to live with their decision. Wonder what the 4-5 new countries will call their independent country. ====================================================== Trump is not a competent businessman, but he has Elon Musk in his team now who is extremely competent in manipulation and scheming. Under Trump's new administration, the USA will work to foster closer relationship and cooperation with Russia, China, Israel, and, of course, North Korea. That will mean the Ukraine will be forced into a peace deal with Russia, and Israel will be able to do whatever they want in Palestinian land. Elon, more than most people in the USA, knows the full capabilities of China and will persuade Trump to work more closely with and to cooperate with China on planet Earth and in Space. Trump will resume & to foster closer friendship with North Korea's Kim Jong Un for no other reason than to be able to say he has solved a decades old regional problem. Of course, South Korea & Japan might not like that much but they will be hapless. As for NATO, Trump might probably tell them that since all three of their perceived enemies ... i.e. Russia, China, and North Korea ,,,, are now friends, there really is no need for the USA to be a part of NATO.
