US Election & Presidency

As Bill Clinton's strategist, James Carville once famously said ""It's the economy, stupid."

Yet if you look at what will happen to them under Trump as he cuts aid to poorer Americans and his tariffs increase their costs they'll be far poorer under Trump. They really are a pitifully stupid electorate and he's even going to deport naturalized Americans who may have voted for him! I love America the place but their politics are insane

Carville forgot his own rule & backed Harris

Really? All 72 million of them?

That's the mistake the incompetent Democrats made, and look where it got them.

So many people in denial over this. Goodfella and Cooper get it, but not many others on here...

I hope I'm on that list too

One thing I think we probably hope is that at some point America suddenly realises just what they have done in this election and they know they have to get it right in 2028

No denial on my part but seriously they voted in a convicted rapist, charity fraudster, famous for not paying his bills, 6 times bankrupt, instigator of an insurrection etc etc etc. That's stupid in my language. A bit like believing the lies from the Boris and his Brexiteer friends

I shudder as to what would happen if Badenoch was to meet Trump as PM given how she spoke of him, and not Starmer.

I imagine Starmer has spoken to him.

I wonder if Boris asked Stormy for hier number

Dont know whats more scary or trump or the 40 monkeys that have escaped from a research lab in south carolina

Putin has welcomed his win and saying its the death of the New World Order

I voted remain. I know a lot of people who voted leave. And, to a man, none of them believed the shit Boris was pedalling. They did it for their own reasons.

Trump, the first time, was an anomaly. It shouldn't have happened again, but it did. And then some.

A lot of people need to wake up to what's happening in the democratic world, instead of just calling the other side stupid for not doing what they're told.
