I'm reasonably relaxed. I like to think next time round countries either ignore or stand up to his stupid games.

load of waffle, it's "drain the swamp" rebranded to "end the deep state". he did sweet fa on the matter last time round.
part of the reason Trump gets away with it is the American liberals clutching pearls rather than laughing at him. they react in a way that makes the conservatives believe he's doing something.
"...by the people, for the people" is a good line.
Well it gets the conspiracy theory mob to vote for him. And there's a lot of them nowadays.

Fox News was last night playing down Trumpo's performance in NH, saying that it was not great news for him because he didn't beat Haley by as much as he would've liked. It also conducted a poll that said a large chunk of Republicans wouldn't vote for him if he was the candidate. In contrast, it even admitted it was a good night for Biden, which is bizarre, when you think about it and what they spout about him normally.

So what about this rumour that Michelle Obama is going to run as Dem candidate? The theory being that Biden will withdraw at or just before the convention and give her a clear run. Sounds a bit far fetched to me, but she is currently 3rd favourite to be the next US president in the betting markets, so some people think it’s a credible scenario.

Trump is marginalising the GOP and many who would normally vote GOP are either going to abstain or vote democratic on the ‘anyone but Trump‘ card ala Corbyn. Fox News knows that if many of its viewers vote Biden then its news content needs to change to reflect this. No one is going to watch a news channel that says they are wrong so this could be the start of the turn. The sun did it with Blair so it isn’t a new thing. If Murdock is true to form then we’ll see something similar with one of his rags in the UK.

It would make sense if Biden stood down.
As for Trump, he seems to be declaring this war on everyone who doesn't agree with him.

That’s a very large list.
Close to zero chance. She doesn't like politics.
There are approximately 332 million people living in America right now.
I’ve been there. Have you?
I’d be very surprised if only 22% are complete ****ing imbecilic morons. I’d put that figure much higher, perhaps 50%.

I'm not serious? You are the one that went full NPC, parroting tropes without thinking it through.

You mean you don't know what the deep state is? Let me give you a simple definition. It is when those in the public sector "The State" follow their own agenda which may be in conflict with what elected politicians have been mandated to do. Its not a conspiracy. An example would be Obama Holdovers that were leaking Trumps goings on to the media. Or in the UK as Suella Braverman says a 2 speed justice system dishing up policing and justice depending on the type of person and not the offence. This can also include over influential NGOs that receive public funds like Stonewall.
