Biden’s most ardent supporters are now ganging up on him
- Update Time : Saturday, July 13, 2024
As at the time of writing there are 116 days to go before the next President of the USA is elected. The odds currently favor Donald Trump if polling is to be believed and it is not certain whether Joe Biden will be his challenger.
Biden has once again exposed his mental frailties in a speech introducing President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine as President Putin and referred to his Vice President Harris as Donald Trump. His most ardent supporters are now ganging up on him except for the hard-left Democrats.
Physical and mental disabilities have been obviously affecting poor old Joe and even his staunchest supporters are acknowledging this to the point of requesting politely he step aside. George Clooney the Hollywood megastar who recently hosted a huge fund raiser for JB is the latest to plead for his departure. Let’s be clear however that Clooney is just the attractive puppet for the one really pulling the strings in the Democratic camp and that is Barack Obama.
The US multimedia networks – CNN, ABC, MSNBC and others are overwhelmingly pro-democrat, anti-Trump and anti-Republican and have yet to unite in supporting the Clooney camp, but it would not be surprising given their subservience to Obama if their agenda changed in the coming days.
The Democrats are divided as there are still many who still support JB.
Paradoxically Donald Trump realizing the Democrat split and Biden’s incapacity to lead are hoping that Biden will stay in the race as his condition can only worsen and thus lead to a widening Trump victory. A new Democratic leader such as Michelle Obama (now highly unlikely) or the California Governor Gavin Newsome may give the Democrats momentum and change the polls to a more favorable level.
It appears that those in the Biden camp are currently holding firm and this can only be good news for Trump and other world leaders such as President Vladimir Putin, Netanyahu, India’s Modi and the growing right-wing block in the European Union who are supporting Donald Trump. The United Nations, NATO and the pro-Palestinian NGO’s such as UNWRA will be devastated by a Trump victory given his animosity to these organizations.
Now where does the new Labour Government of Keir Starmer stand? The thought of a victory for Donald Trump will be devastating for them and especially for our new Foreign Secretary, David Lammy. Let me quote directly what David Lammy then a shadow minister, said when Donald Trump visited the United Kingdom during the time when Theresa May was Prime Minister 2016 – to 2019.
“Deluded, dishonest, xenophobic, narcissistic. Donald Trump is no friend of Britain. He is not fit to hold public office, let alone worthy of our country’s highest honours and a banquet with the Queen. Theresa May is selling out the UK to a serial liar and a cheat. #TrumpUKVisist”.
How will it be possible for Trump if he became the President of the USA not to react negatively (to be polite) to the Foreign Minister of the United Kingdom who made such insulting, childish and imbecilic remarks for the sake of perceived popularity. Trump will certainly ignore the buffoon Lammy and I predict that Starmer will either have to back or sack his big mouthed Foreign Minister. If he does the former, he risks US–UK relations and if the latter he will jeopardize his own stewardship of his party as there will be uproar.
Starmer is in a no-win situation on this as Trump will not back down. Perhaps Lammy for the greater good of geopolitical and domestic harmony may accept a different role – I doubt it as he too egotistical and childish as anyone who knows him will attest.
Benjamin Netanyahu and the Jewish State of Israel will certainly want a Trump victory as will Vladimir Putin and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. China will cope with it in the realization that Trump will come down hard on their economic exploitation of the west and their growing military ambitions in South China and Africa. Iran and their proxies will be the biggest losers. South Africa will certainly have to reappraise their current absurd foreign policy as globally there are seen to be financially and ideologically corrupt Muppets of the totalitarian Iranian theocracy.
Be prepared for a dramatic change in the world order should, as is likely Donald Trump win the Presidency. I believe it is too late for a Democratic win even if they remove ailing Joe with someone with the mental capacity greater than a retarded amoeba.
