It all felt like something out of a B-movie, like a bad imitation of a Clint Eastwood production of The Man Who Wants to Clean Up. Far too much gold and bling-bling, and then the appearance of a loud speaker: Donald Trump.
He just can’t let it go. In two years he wants to win and lead the superpower USA again. He who was always more presidential actor than statesman. What an idea.
Trump, Notorious Liar Haunted by Prosecutors and Parliamentary Inquiries, Who Still Claims They Stole His 2020 Election – Now in a New Role? no Rather, he promises a return to what made him strong: promises.
A golden age of peace and prosperity!
And what kind of. A golden age of peace and prosperity. Everything is even bigger, better and stronger. No inflation, no immigration, no drug deaths, no Ukraine war. Death penalty for drug dealers, no men in women’s sports, energy independent US, limited terms for members of Congress and a lifetime ban from working as a lobbyist.
And in memory of 2020: the president who makes elections safer with ID cards, paper ballots and the obligation to go to the polls on election day and count all the votes. His people like to hear it. But how many are there?
Trump sounds of a movement that he created. Yes, years ago – now she turns against him. He won because he divided America; now he’s split the Republicans and his candidates lost in the Midterms.
But be careful. Trump is not defeated yet. Not in his party, not by the Democrats. Because he can still do something that no one else has been able to do so far: give the impression of not being from the hated establishment, but someone from outside. One whom the others only prosecute because he is the best, the smartest. And because he’s the man who cleans up.
As Bernie Sanders, the nation’s leftist conscience from Vermont, put it: the prospect of another Trump campaign of lies and division is a “horror show.” But for anyone who doesn’t want to see a Republican in the White House, the candidacy is a good thing. He thinks.
A good 74 million Americans have thought differently at some point. That’s how many voted for Donald Trump in 2020. More than ever for Barack Obama. For them, Bernie Sanders horror and trash is no shame. B movies are often found and seen by more people than sophisticated films with a differentiated message and finely drawn characters. The script for the next election is just being written.
